GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Alkali activated lightweight mortars, obtained by room temperature activation of coal fly ash, were studied as passive fire protection systems for steel elements. Physical, mechanical and thermal [...]

ABSTRACT Air--and formulated lime mortars with pulverized brick waste were synthesized with addition of two organic waste-based additives: spent cooking oil and albumen. The addition of spent oil in the [...]

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the shrinkage and creep of self-compacting concrete prepared with coarse and fine recycled concrete aggregates (up to 40% of total amount of aggregates). Physical properties and [...]

ABSTRACT Glass with different chemical compositions, deriving from separate collection, has been used as fine aggregate to formulate cementitious mortars, substituting natural sand. Glass coming from cathode-ray tube monitors, fluorescent [...]

ABSTRACT The suitability of new lime mortars for restorative rendering applications was investigated. Air-, formulated- and hydraulic-lime mortars were synthesized with inclusion of two different types of spent sunflower cooking [...]

ABSTRACT This work investigates the effects of the structure, the bulk chemical composition and amount of the aluminosilicate fines on the strength development, pore refinement, water permeability, moisture control capacity [...]

ABSTRACT Alkali activation of fly ash can be considered as one of the more promising alternative systems to traditional hydraulic binders, particularly if the process can be carried out at [...]

ABSTRACT The effects of bulk composition and microstructure on strengthening mechanisms and fracture resistance were investigated for metakaolin based geopolymers. Crack initiation and propagation under mechanical and environmental stresses were [...]
