The objective of this research is to investigate the possible reuse dredged sediments from port Cherbourg, France, as an alternative material in road engineering and a backfill material. These contain high percentages organic matter (OM), presence OM sediment, even small amounts, can affect properties sediments. This was carried out two series: sediment treated with traditional hydraulic binder...

Replacing natural raw materials with industrial by-products can increase the sustainability of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), although its fresh and hardened behavior will usually worsen. The benefits increased must therefore outweigh any reduction in concrete flowability strength. These aspects be analyzed through Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) algorithms. In all, 19 SCC mixes were stu...

The main objective of this research was to investigate the influence curing temperature on phase transformation, mechanical properties, and microstructure as-cured sintered kaolin-ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) geopolymer. varied, giving four different conditions; namely: Room temperature, 40, 60, 80 °C. kaolin-GGBS geopolymer prepared, with a mixture NaOH (8 M) sodium silicate. sa...
