In this research, a novel Hydraulically Bound Mixture (HBM) is successfully developed using waste minerals and industrial by-products to fully replace cement in road (base) foundation materials. HBM mixture that sets hardens by hydraulic reaction usually has compaction rolling. The materials used were reclaimed asphalt filler (RAF), quarry dust (QWD), plasterboard gypsum (PG) ground granulated ...

The effect of different sintering parameters on the mechanical properties sintered kaolin-GGBS will influence variation geopolymer. Based previous research, samples have major cracking and many large pores due to temperature holding time during process. first objective is study geopolymer second correlate strength with microstructural analysis. In a solid-to-liquid 2:1 ratio, kaolin GGBS were c...

Rapid construction with an energy-efficient approach is a major challenge in the present industry. Cement, carbon-intensive material, mainly used industry and hence increases sector’s carbon footprint on environment. The current review focuses study of 3D concrete printing (3DCP), which cement partially replaced industrial byproducts such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), fly ash,...

Concrete might be the maximum substantially used construction material in global with approximately six billion tones being produced each year. It is best subsequent to water phrases of keeping with-capita consumption. However, environmental sustainability at stake both terms damage due extraction raw and CO2 emission all through cement manufacture. This brought pressures on researchers for dis...

Abstract This paper reports on the effect of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) fresh-state properties alkali activated ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS). Surface functionalized (oxidized) CNFs were added to GGBS water suspensions (hydraulic pastes). The rheological behaviour pastes was compared with OPC and interpreted based CNF-mineral surface interaction, CNF-water interaction swelling. ...

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) efficiently reduce total shrinkage and cracking susceptibility of fibre reinforced mortars (FRM). This paper discusses the effects SAPs on microstructure mechanical properties FRM containing fly ash (FA) ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) during a period 180 days. Three types cement including CEM I, II/B-V III/A three SAP with different chemical compositi...
