Hydrothermal performance of pulverised fuel ash and the manufacture of autoclaved aerated concrete by Robert A. Carroll

“…Differences in the hydrothermal performance of the two PFA samples are evident, which cannot be explained by the bulk elemental composition. Ash fractions obtained from a centrifugal air classifier have different reactivities during autoclaving and can result in specimens with different compressive strengths. …”

Durability of reinforced GGBS/FA geopolymer concretes by Thanh Nguyen

“…Moreover, 1% CO2 concentration seems to be aggressive to FA-based GC cured at 75 oC with a carbonated depth of more than 5 cm after 54 days, whereas in the natural condition, the carbonation depths of these samples were very low and similar to that of the high strength CEM I concretes after 147 days. …”

A trade-off concept for lightweight concrete in chloride environments by D. Dunne, M.D. Newlands, Christian Christodoulou, Chris Goodier

“…Experimental work focused on concrete mixes with a fixed water/binder ratio of 0.50 and a constant total binder content of 330kg/m3. 28-day results indicate that with respect to aggregate influence, for CEM I only concrete, reduced concrete performance is obtained when replacing normal-weight aggregate with lightweight on a like-for-like basis. …”

3D-printed limestone calcined clay cement concrete incorporating recycled plastic waste (RESIN8) by Adewumi John Babafemi, Chris Norval, John Kolawole, Suvash Chandra Paul, Kamoru Ademola Ibrahim

“…Furthermore, the use of LC2 in 3DPC causes the fresh material to be susceptible to increased deformation under sustained load, which can be improved with the addition of RESIN8. Incorporating 10 % RESIN8 into C- and LC-printed concrete systems reduced the workability by 3.8 % (CR) and 1.9 % (LCR) and enhanced buildability performance from 46 (C) to 59 (CR) and 74 (LC) to 90 (LCR) number of layers. …”

Vibration analysis of various wooden ski cores using laser vibrometry by Michael Frisch, Niko Nagengast, Franz Konstantin Fuss

“…On the other hand, it is important that the ski adapts well to the ground in different snow conditions, which in turn is directly related to the bending and torsional stiffness. These properties can be measured on the ski with varying degrees of accuracy, for example with accelerometers, laser vibrometry, or with 3-point bending and torsion tests. …”

Effect of various mix parameters on the true tensile strength of concrete by Hamid Reza Azizipesteh Baglo

“…The tensile strength of concrete has traditionally been expressed in terms of its compressive strength (e.g. ft = c × c f ). Based on this premise, extensive laboratory testing was conducted to evaluate the tensile strength of the concretes, including the direct tension test and the indirect cylinder splitting and MOR tests. …”
