Usage of industrial by-product materials in construction • Preliminary study on strength and durability properties of pH-adjusted fluorogypsum-cement-fly ash blends A preliminary investigation of strength and durability properties of a low-cost concrete-like system made of pH-adjusted fluorogypsum (FG), class C fly ash (FA), and type II Portland cement (PC). A series of compressive strength tests and volumetric expansion measurements were conducted on specimens after 28 days of curing. The experimental

1.3 Advantages and Disadvantages of Self-Compacting Concrete Some advantages of SCC over normal concrete are: • High performance and more calculable quality • Compact and even surface texture • Reduces noise pollution at construction sites • Reduction on site manpower for all operations • Improved durability and high strength • Shorter construction periods • Faster construction since no mechanical vibrators are used • Safer and cleaner working environment • More scope to build different structural

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 CONCRETE: Concrete is a composite material formed by combination of cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregate and water together in a suitable proportion. This mix form easily workable paste known as plastic wet or green concrete. After mixing and placing the concrete in position the cement and water undergoes hardening, the cement paste in this way bind the aggregate like hard mass, which is called concrete. Now a days concrete is used most commonly as a building material because

The ancient Romans have left a grand mark in history, and their inventions shaped the course of human development, which can still be seen in society today. Much like their ever-reaching empire, the influence of Rome is evident in many fields, such as mathematics, medical science, and engineering. The Roman numeral system withstood the test of time as it is still mainly used to aid in calculations, and is commonly used in titles and popular references. The creation of our own Gregorian calendar is

Writing Assignment Unit 7 HIST 1421 – Greek and Roman Civilization By Robert Wright The Development of Roman Architecture Ancient Roman concrete is one of the greatest achievements to architecture since the creation and shaping of limestone by the Egyptians when building the great pyramids. Roman concrete structures today still stand after withstanding natures slow but powerful degrading capacity. If you visit the Roman Pantheon, you would see, after all this time, that the building still stands

Concrete is used for many different things in daily life, although is often taken for granted. Concrete has a very deep history that leads us up to the modern day concrete and variations of. Most people will turn a blind eye, but at one point in history concrete was a stellar invention that had many different purposes and uses and still does today. Although, cement has been a naturally occurring substance that has been used by Egyptians, Chinese, and Greeks in its rudimentary forms, evidence have

PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT WITH CORN COB ASH Ahangba Augustine. S1. , Tiza Michael2 1B.Engr, (civil engineering) Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi, Nigeria. 2 M. Tech Scholar *. (civil engineering) Career Point University, India. Abstract- This study concerns the investigation of concrete produced by partial replacement of cement with corn cob ash (CCA). Corn cob ash was obtained and used to replace cement partially in specified ratios of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. Concrete cubes

scholars debate that it was a meeting hall for members of public office. [5] Because there was no separation of church and state, perhaps it was a dual purpose building. The Ancient romans has access to a resource that the ancient Greeks did not, “pozzolan ash”[6] from volcanic activity. This fine grey powder when mixed with water and sand would harden to a material similar to stone. Although concrete had been discovered and used for centuries prior to the ancient Romans, [7] they were by far the

The Roman Pantheon is an architectural wonder built by the Roman's over 18 centuries ago that has had enormous impact on architectural design and techniques still today. Built under the reign of Emperor Hadrian 118-128A.D during the High Empire Period the Pantheon we know today was built in the same location as two prior pantheon's that both fell to fire (Kleiner 210). Although the exact artist(s) of that of the Pantheon are not particularly known credit goes to Emperor Hadrian whom dedicated

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON STRENGTH AND WORKABILITY OF CEMENT MATERIALS USING MAGNESIUM SILICATE HYDRATE BINDER SYSTEM H. M. Tran, A. Scott 1,2University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand There has been increasing studies on magnesium silicate hydrate binder system as an eco-cement and its potential use for nuclear waste immobilization. The cementing properties and workability of cement paste and mortar using magnesium silicate hydrate binder were examined by compressive strength, flow test and
