Mix design challenges of porous concrete pavements modified with mineral admixtures

Use of Mineral Admixtures in Concrete

Performance of Pozzolanic Concrete Using Different Mineral Admixtures

Concrete is probably the most extensively used construction material in the world. However, environmental concerns regarding rapid consumption of natural resources and CO2 emission during cement manufacturing process have brought pressure to reduce cement consumption by the use of cement replacement materials (CRMs). The utilization of calcined clay (metakaolin) and silica fume in concrete has ...

Permeability of Concrete Mix Design

In the present investigation, study of water permeability of concrete was carried out..The strength of concrete is depend on its mix proportions. we used high strength concrete which have its compressive strength is above 50 MPa.in order to measure co-efficient of permeability as per IS:3085-1965,the cylinder with height to diameter ratio equal to one were cast and subjected to a constant press...

Prediction of concrete mix ratios using modified regression theory

The strength of concrete is a function of the proportions of the constituent materials, namely, cement, water, fine and coarse aggregates. The conventional methods used to determine the mix proportions that will yield the desired strength, are laborious, time consuming and expensive. In this paper, a mathematical method based on modified regression theory is formulated for the prediction of con...

Optimizing of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Mix Design

Cementitious matrices are the fragile materials that possess a low tensile strength. The addition of fibers randomly distributed in these matrices improves their resistance to cracking, substantially. However, the incorporation of fibers into a plain concrete disrupts the granular skeleton and quickly causes problems of mixing as a result of the loss of mixture workability that will be translat...
