The development of cement composites reinforced coconut fiber with fly ash addition: mechanical properties and fracture behaviour
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
This research paper presents a study on the development of cement composites reinforced coconut fiber with fly ash addition. Various content of coconut fiber (3 wt. %, 6 wt. %, 9 wt. %, 12 wt. % and 15 wt. %) was added to ...
Effect of mechanical activation on kaolin-based geopolymers
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
Raw materials kaolin was subjected to mechanical modification; the effect of the mechanical activation of kaolin on the compressive strength and morphological properties of the geopolymers has been studied. Mechanical ...
Curing Behavior on kaolin-based geopolymers
(Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland., 2012)
This paper aims at investigating the influence of curing process on kaolin-based geopolymers. Kaolin-based geopolymers were prepared by the alkali-activation of kaolin with alkali activating solution (mixture of NaOH and ...
The effects of fly ash and polystyrene bead additions on compressive strength of foamed cement composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
The effects of both additions of fly ash and polystyrene (PS) beads were studied on compressive strength of foamed cement composites. The increasing amount of fly ash addition up to 6 wt. % has been found to increase the ...
Assessment of physical and mechanical properties of cement panel influenced by treated and untreated coconut fiber addition
(Elsevier BV, 2011)
This project was conducted to produce a cement panel with the addition of treated and untreated coconut fiber in cement panel. Coconut fiber was added to replace coarse aggregate (sand) in this cement panel. In this project, ...
Effects of fly ash addition on compressive strength and flexural strength of foamed cement composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
In this study, the mixing of polystyrene (PS) beads and fly ash as a sand replacement material in foamed cement composites (FCC) has been investigated. Specifically, the mechanical properties such as compressive strength ...
Feasibility study on composition and mechanical properties of marine clay based geopolymer brick
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
Geopolymer is an inorganic polymer performed in synthesis process of an aluminosilicate material which activated by alkaline activator solution. Marine clay, considered to be a waste substance which have an important ...
Properties of concrete with different percentange of the rice husk ash (RHA) as partial cement replacement
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2015)
The use of pozzolanic material from waste product as partial cement replacement in concrete contribute to reduce the environmental, economic problem through their waste and as well enhance the strength and properties of ...
Utilization of recycled glass waste as partial replacement of fine aggregate in concrete production
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd., 2015)
Glass dust waste creates chronic environmental problems, mainly due to the inconsistency of waste glass streams. Glass is widely used in our lives through manufactured products such as sheet glass, bottles, glassware, and ...
Effects of elevated temperatures on the thermal behavior and mechanical performance of fly ash geopolymer paste, mortar and lightweight concrete
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
This paper reports a comparative study of the influence of elevated temperature on geopolymer paste, mortars and lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) systems made by using fly ash (FA) as only source material. ...
