(2012)
Although self compacting concrete (SCC) is currently used in many countries, there is a fundamental lack of the intrinsic durability of the material itself. This article presents the outcomes from a research program on ...
On the role of organic adlayers in the anomalous water sorptivity of Lépine limestone
(2004)
Sorptivity data are reported for the capillary absorption of water, ethanol, propan-2-ol, and n-heptane by the calcitic limestone Lépine (Lavoux à grain). The data confirm that the water sorptivity is anomalously low, an ...
Crushed limestone as an aggregate in concrete production: the Cyprus case
(2010)
Limestones in Cyprus are mainly quarried for the production of coarse and fine aggregates to be used in concrete. The objective of this paper is to examine the properties of crushed limestone aggregates. The petrographical ...
Influence of iron mill scale additive on the physico-mechanical properties and chloride penetration resistance of concrete
(2017)
Reinforced concrete structures are normally exposed to various aggressive environmental conditions
Cradle to site Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of adobe bricks
(2016)
The application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to construction materials provides a useful inside to the energy embodied in their production and contributes towards educated decision-making regarding the choice of the most ...
