Application of viscosity modifying admixture (VMA) in eco-friendly concrete

Influence of Viscosity Modifying Admixture (VMA) on the Properties of SCC Produced Using Locally Supplied Materials in Bahrain

The reluctance in utilizing the advantages of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) in Bahrain stems from two contributing factors: Lack of research or published data pertaining to locally produced SCC, and a feeling of doubt and uncertainty in the minds of practicing engineers about reliability and suitability of SCC in hardened stage. The primary aim of this study is to explore the influence of visc...

Eco-Friendly Hybrid Concrete using Pozzolanic Binder and Glass Fibers

Hybrid Concrete focused on the development of buildings, highways, and other structures of civil engineering. In the current study, various mix combinations have been prepared and tested with different percentages of super-plasticizer at different levels of water reduction for obtaining the optimum mix. Further, study on different properties of hybrid concrete and replacement of ordinary portla...

Green Concrete: An Efficient and Eco-Friendly Sustainable Building Material

Green concrete is a concept of thinking environment into concrete considering every aspect from raw materials manufacture over mixture design to structural design, construction and service life. Green concrete is a type of concrete which resembles the conventional concrete but the production or usage of such concrete requires minimum amount of energy and causes least harm to the environment. Si...

Value of Admixture in Concrete Mix Design

Despite its few inherent shortcomings, concrete has proved to be the most widely used construction material, no substitute in time still to come. In the present investigation, study of admixture of concrete was carried out. The strength of concrete depends on its mix proportions. We used so many admixture e.g. ‘silica. Fumes, fly ash etc , when we used these type of admixture the result was ver...
