In recent years, research has been carried out to examine natural fibers reinforced
construction mortars (NFRM), which are now increasingly replacing synthetic fibers …

Coating mortars are essential for passive fire protection (PFP) in structures, preventing
spalling. The present study explored the factors that affect the performance of mortars under …

Polyvinyl chloride plastic (PVC) and glass waste have proven to be significant
environmental concerns considering their restricted reuse and complicated recycling …

The large amounts of waste glass and tires arouse a great interest in the use of recycled
crumb rubber (RCR) and glass cullet (RGC) as fine aggregates. However, there are …

Hypothetically, all the glass is recyclable, despite of which, only a small fraction of it is
recovered globally. Furthermore, decomposition rate of waste glass is lowest when …

The increasing price and diminishing reserves of construction sand encourage a need to
develop its sustainable and cost-effective replacement, hel** the transition towards a …

Construction waste poses a major environmental problem owing to traditional building
methods, resulting in a huge global waste burden that ultimately ends up in landfills. The …

Herein, the study investigates the microstructure of recycled aggregates concrete (RAC)
prepared by nano-silica strengthened recycled aggregates (RAs). Five concentrations (0 …

The purpose of the present investigation is to examine the physicomechanical properties
and the hydration development of ternary blended cements, composed by waste marble …

In this paper, the workability, mechanical, ion leaching, and drying shrinkage properties of
alkali-activated concrete with recycled coarse and fine aggregates were studied, and the …
