Behaviour of Engineered Cementitious Composite-encased Stub Concrete Columns Under Axial Compression
Author(s) Muhammad Khubaib Ilyas Khan Mohammad Masud Rana Yixia Zhang Chi King Lee Abstract Although high-strength concrete (HSC) has higher compressive strength than normal-strength concrete (NSC), its application in column construction is often limited by its...
Application of Light-burnt Dolomite as a Mineral Addition in Concrete
Author(s) Zhiyang Chen Min Deng Peng Liu Abstract Growth in the production of cement has led to increasing demands for mineral additions. This study was conducted to develop an alternative addition by calcining dolomite at 800°C to obtain a mixture of periclase...
Effect of Grinding on the Quantification of Bound Water in Tricalcium Silicate
Author(s) Shiju Joseph Özlem Cizer Abstract The effect of grinding hydrated tricalcium silicate (C3S) pastes on the bound water content (BWC) measured by thermogravimetric analysis was investigated. The samples were subjected to different curing regimes at 20°C and...
