Study on the addition effect of metakaolin and mechanically activated kaolin on cement strength and microstructure under different curing conditions
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The effects of thermally (MK) or mechanically activated kaolin (AK) on the compressive strength of mortars and microstructure of pastes were investigated. Mortar mixtures, in which 10%, 20% and 30% of ordinary Portland ...
The influence of nano-silica and barite aggregate on properties of ultra high performance concrete
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The development of building materials with improved characteristics and their application for increasing structure durability and sustainability is one of the goals in construction sector. The main objective of this paper ...
Compressive strength and microstructure of ordinary cured and autoclaved cement-based composites with mechanically activated kaolins
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The effects of two different mechanically activated kaolins, AKV (61% kaolinite, 14% quartz and 16% mica) and AKG (51.6% kaolinite and 40.6% quartz) on the compressive strength of cement composites and microstructure of ...
Prediction model based on artificial neural network for pyrophyllite mechano-chemical activation as an integral step in production of cement binders
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
The optimal outputs of pyrophyllite mechano-chemical activation in an ultra-centrifugal mill performing under different technological conditions were determined by analytical modeling and verified via Artificial Neural ...
Potential pathway for recycling of the paper mill sludge compost for brick making
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2021)
This study's focus was to develop a potential pathway for recycling of the paper mill sludge compost (PMSC) in brick making. Composting reduces the paper mill sludge (PMS) moisture content considerably and shredding becomes ...
Optimization of adobe clay bricks based on the raw material properties (mathematical analysis)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
This research studies the effects of composition and granulometry analysis of 139 heavy clays on the important characteristics of wet and adobe clay bricks. ANN models were obtained with high prediction accuracy in training ...
Concrete paving blocks and flags made with crushed brick as aggregate
(Construction and Building Materials, 2012)
Demolition of old buildings in urban cores has produced a large amount of waste material. Since they are mostly masonry structures the largest part of the waste material is ceramic waste. Besides that, ceramic waste is ...
The effect of alternations in mineral additives (zeolite, bentonite, fly ash) on physico-chemical behavior of Portland cement based binders
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Instrumental analyses accompanied by analytical modeling tools were employed to assess physico-chemical changes induced by variations in chemical composition of cementitious composites, i.e. mortar binders. Coal combustion ...
The study of thermal behavior of montmorillonite and hydromica brick clays in predicting tunnel kiln firing curve
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The aim of this study was to test montmorillonite and hydromica type of brick clays by using simultaneous thermal analysis and dilatometry in an assessment of the suitability of brick clays to produce building elements. ...
Assessing technological properties and environmental impact of fired bricks made by partially adding bottom ash from an industrial approach
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Over the past few decades, the fired clay brick industry has searched for industrial wastes to substitute raw clay deposits and lessen their impact on the environment. Despite several investigations showing positive results, ...
