Corrosion of sewage concrete pipes is a major dilemma in the modern world and annually
considerable amounts of money are spent for the maintenance. On the other hand, the use …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is widely used as a raw material in the manufacture of
beverage bottles, packaging industries, and only after one use becomes waste. Since these …

High strength concretes are often used for increasing the erosion resistance of the hydraulic
structures. Searching for possibilities of improving the resistance of the cement matrix to the …

Compression toughness tests were carried out on concrete cylinders reinforced with three
different aspect ratios of hooked-end steel fibers 60, 75, and 83 and six different …

Naturally concrete shrinks when it is subjected to a drying environment. If this shrinkage is
restrained, tensile stresses develop and concrete may crack. Plastic shrinkage cracks are …

One of the main challenges of using a high fiber volume content in a cement composite is
the narrow margin of fiber volume content beyond which fibers can cause an adverse effect …

The results of abrasion resistance test of high-performance hydraulic concretes with
additions of 3 types of the polypropylene fibers are presented in the paper. The results are …

This study focuses on the effect of the amount of silica fume addition and volume fraction of
steel fiber on the engineering properties of cementitious materials. Test variables include …

This study focuses on the development of unique geopolymer-based composites made
using industrial byproducts and waste materials. The first test variable was the compressive …

An experimental program was carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of cement-
based composites. Test variables included water to cementitious ratio, dosage of silica fume …
