Bauxite is mainly used to produce aluminium and calcium aluminate cements. Both applications carry high environmental impacts. However, the carbon emissions generated from mining bauxite (3–5 kg CO 2 e/t) are negligible when compared those for or cement production (620–700 e/t CEM II). Hence, an alternative use would lower impacts worldwide. This paper measures pozzolanic hydraulic capacity of ...

This paper presents an Effect of Fly Ash on Properties of Concrete. In the present study. Use of fly ash in concrete imparts several environmental benefits and thus it is ecofriendly. It saves the cement requirement for the same strength thus saving of raw materials such as limestone, coal etc required for manufacture of cement. Fly ash is pozzolanic material & it improving the properties of co...

The design of repair mortars started from the characterization of the original mortar samples preserved in small areas in the floors of the Dungeon Tower, Bač Fortress. Two materials (waste brick and clay material) were investigated in order to select the pozzolanic material which later was a component of the repair mortar. Based on the compatibility test of the examined old mortars and of the ...

Objective of the work: This study focused on investigations pozzolanic activity pumice under different curing temperatures and durations. 
 Materials Method: Pumice powder, standard sand slaked lime were used as materials in this study. Within scope study, only one mixture design was following TS 25. In total, 9 regimes such three heat cures at 55˚C, 75˚C, 90˚C durations 7, 14, 28 days for...

Without using strong alkaline solution or ordinary Portland cement, a new structural binder consisting of fly ash and hydrated lime was hardened through an intensified pozzolanic reaction. The main experimental variables are the addition of silica fume and initial thermal treatment (60 °C for 3 days). A series of experiments consisting of mechanical testing (compressive and flexural strength, m...

Corrosion of concrete reinforcing steel in highway structures has traditionally been related to chloride ions. However, another cause of reinforcing steel corrosion is concrete carbonation which decreases the pH of the pore solution, Carbonation-induced corrosion tends to develop later and proceeds at slower rates than chloride-induced corrosion. Since very long service life goals are currently...
