This paper aims at investigating the influence of partial replacement of Portland cement with ultrafine fillers compared to limestone powder on the durability and mechanical characteristics of concrete. For this purpose, ultrafine calcium carbonate materials with different specific surface areas of 9.7 and 15.1 m2/g and limestone powder (0.72 m2/g) were used. The results indicate that the ultra...

Synopsis: This article reviews the recent advances in the research of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), a class of microstructurally tailored fiber reinforced cementitious composites. The design basis, the processing routes, and some ECC performance characteristics in structural applications are highlighted. This article is dedicated to Professor Surendra Shah, in honor of his seminal c...

Evaluation of the effect embodied carbon reduction using an optimized design section for a ground beam, use supplementary cementitious materials, and replacement normal aggregate with light weight on mechanical properties low-carbon concrete was carried out. A creep coefficient 0.019 estimated 365-day period change in from 1 to 0.6 m2 proposed trapezoidal which showed negligible difference when...

The overall production of the cement has greatly increased which results lots problems in environment as it involves emission CO2 gas. Environmental concerns, stemming from high energy expense and carbon dioxide associated with manufacture have brought about pressures to reduce consumption through use supplementary materials. Materials such Metakaolin, fly ash good pozzolanic activity are a mat...
