... construction material, has significantly improved in recent years. Innovations have focused on optimizing mix designs to improve strength, reduce rebound losses and enhance adhesion to various substrates. Incorporating advanced admixtures has contributed to better workability, faster setting times and improved...

... mathematical models that most accurately describe the experimental findings. Findings The results demonstrate that SRCA notably improves the workability of fresh concrete due to its presaturation, which reduces water absorption and elevates the availability of free water. In contrast, mechanical strength...

... RCPT, UPV, acid attack and water permeability. Waste marble powder concrete Workability Compressive strength Split tensile strength Flexural strength UPV Acid attack RCPT Microstructure Concrete is a widely used construction material made of cement, aggregates and water...

... Emerald Publishing Limited Licensed re-use rights only Freeze-thaw GNPs Workability Strength Durability Weight loss In the construction industry, concrete is the most commonly used material. The 20th century saw an exponential growth in infrastructure. The utilization of concrete...

... to obtain HSC with 90 MPa and 16 cm of workability. When the content of SF was 10%, the compressive resistance of concrete is the best (Tan et al., 2022). Likewise, the use of these byproducts increased the durability in terms of erosion and sulfate attack. Also, these mixtures have also great...

... on the concrete’s fresh properties. The workability of the concrete mixture is a short-term property, but it is anticipated to affect the concrete’s long-term property. Design/methodology/approach In this review, the concrete and workability definition; concrete’s rheology models like Bingham model, thixotropy...

...) for all studied responses. The obtained results indicated that it is quite possible to substitute a part of cement with LF and PF in the formulation of a HPC. Thanks to the complementary effect between the two additions, the workability could be improved and the strengths drop could be avoided...

... Mixture design method was used for optimizing concretes characteristics and studying the effects of river sand (RS), dune sand (DS) and crushed sand (CS) in combinations of binary system and ternary on workability, the compressive and flexural strengths of concretes at 7 and 28 days. A total of 21...

.... Findings At 0.48 water cement ratio and 0.5% CNT by weight of cement workability reduced by 37% and water absorption reduced by 0.04%. But compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength increased by 15.38, 33.02 and 15.75%, respectively, after 30 freeze thaw cycles. Also, weight loss...
