UM Students' Repository

Tons of abrasive blasting wastes (ABW) are produced each year from the removal of old paint from the ships. The abrasives contain heavy metals which are considered hazardous by the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) criteria. This research describes an investigation of cement-based solidification and stabilization (S/S) of the spent abrasives from ship repair, which is mainly …

Studies on concrete degradation in ... - Unitn-eprints.PhD

Jul 02, 2009· A lot of money is spent every year on the restoration of the concrete on structures and manufactured elements deteriorated by different types of degradation. Degradation of concretes is attributable to inadequate mix-design; anyway some environments are so aggressive that requiring additional care in order to increase durability. One of the most aggressive …

Aggregates for Concrete

Hydraulic cement concrete is a cement and water paste in which aggregate particles are embedded. Aggregate is granular material such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, blast-furnace slag, and lightweight aggregates that usually occupies approxi-mately 60 to 75% of the volume of concrete. Aggregate properties significantly affect the workability of ...

Experimental Investigation and Modeling the Heat of ...

The hydration of cement in mass concrete structures produces high temperature.The temperature in the core of the mass concrete structures is higher than the temperature in the surfaces that are closer to ambient air. This temperature gradient leads to the development of thermal stresses, which may cause cracking if thermal stresses exceed the tensile strength of …

Studies on Concrete Made of Recycled Materials for ...

Construction industry uses Portland cement which is known to be a heavy contributor to the CO2 emissions and environmental damage. Incorporation of industrial wastes like demolished old concrete, silica fume (SF) and fly ash (FA) as supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) could result in a substantial reduction of the overall CO2 footprint of the final concrete product.

"Evaluation of de-icer deterioration of concrete" by Xin Wang

The work presented in this thesis involves the study of deterioration of concrete caused by using deicers. This thesis includes two papers resulting from the study: 1). Scaling resistance and evaluation of concrete containing slag cement and 2). Effect of the Interfacial Transition Zone on Joint Deterioration of Concrete Pavements. In the first paper, an alternative test method was …

Effect of blast-furnace slag as cement replacement on ...

This PhD thesis focuses on the use of blast-furnace slag (BFS) as cement replacing material. Blast-furnace slag, a by-product of the steel production, obtains latent-hydraulic properties after rapid cooling and can thus replace clinker in cement.

Introduction to Concrete - Portland Cement Association

The term concrete refers to a mixture of aggregates, usually sand, and either gravel or crushed stone, held together by a binder of cementitious paste. The paste is typically made up of portland cement and water and may also contain supplementary cementing materials (SCMs), such as fly ash or slag cement, and chemical admixtures (Figure 1-1).

Properties of Concrete using Ferronickel Slag as Fine ...

Abstract. This study evaluated the use of by-product ferronickel slag as fine aggregate in concrete. It was found that mortar and concrete of good strength and durability could be produced by the combined use of ferronickel slag as a partial replacement of sand and fly ash as a partial replacement of cement.
