Eco-friendly Blocks by Blended Materials
In spite of broad improvements in construction technology, cement is still stayed as binding material for construction purposes. Cement industries are the main sources for the contribution of carbon dioxide (co2) into the atmosphere. So, there is a need to use new materials as binders (green binders) in substitute for cement, which leads to reducing the production of cement. In this study, fly ...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation on Fibre Reinforced Concrete Using Waste Materials
Advancements in technology enhances not only human comforts but also damages the environment. Use of metals as containers has become popular and safe now, especially to carry the liquids. Inspite of the inherent advantages and disadvantages existent in its disposal. Today the construction industry is in need of finding cost effective materials for increasing the strength of concrete structures....
متن کاملConcrete Interlocking Paving Blocks Compression Strength Determination Using Non-destructive Methods
In this paper, the non-destructive testing methods are analyzed in view of their usability in evalulation of the interlocking paving blocks’ compressive strength. Ultrasonic pulse method and impact method (Schmidt impact hammers) were chosen for testing. Testing methodology and way of the results processing considering requests of the national and European standards are described there. In addi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Concrete Plants Readiness to Produce High Quality Concrete for Municipal Constructions Using Past Information
The only way to test the ability of concrete plants to produce high quality concrete is to test their final products. Also, the process of testing and controlling concrete quality is time consuming and expensive. In this regard, having a quick, cheap and efficient way to predict the readiness of concrete plants to produce high quality concrete is very valuable. In this paper, a probabilistic mu...
متن کاملRecycled Polymer Materials as Aggregates for Concrete and Blocks
The potential of recycled waste polymeric materials as a substitute for aggregates in concrete has been investigated in the study. Two different types of waste polymer, namely polyurethane formaldehyde (PUF) based packaging waste and high density polyethylene (HDPE) were recycled and used in the experiment. Concrete and masonry poly block specimens were prepared using recycled polymer materials...
