Geopolymers are used as a Portland cement alternative in some applications. The
motivation for using geopolymers is their capacity of the by-products and waste …

Cement-based materials used as fireproof coatings exhibit favorable thermal insulation and
anti-spalling properties as well as adequate residual mechanical properties after elevated …

The advent of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) represents a significant leap in
concrete technology. Yet, the material's vulnerability to fire-induced explosive spalling …

In buildings and in civil engineering structures, both active and passive fire protection are
used. Active fire protection includes automatic fire detection and fire suppression systems …

In this study, a sustainable mortar mixture is developed using renewable by-products for the
enhancement of mechanical properties and fracture behavior. A high-volume of fly ash—a …

This study aims to investigate the compressive strengths, ultrasonic pulse velocity,
calorimetric, microstructural and rheological properties of calcined laterite-based …

The paper presents the test results of basalt fiber impact on a compressive and flexural
strength, resistance to abrasion and porosity of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC). The …

After a fire, the assessment of concrete residual strength can be a challenge. Since the
strength reduction depends on the distance from the heated surface examination based on …

The explosive behaviour of concrete in fire is observed in rapidly heated concrete. The main
factors controlling the occurrence of spalling are related to the material's low porosity and …

Abstract Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is a concrete of the modern generation it mainly
contains a high percentage of cement and a small percentage of water For cement as well …
