Foamed concrete (FC) is a high-quality building material with densities from 300 to 1850
kg/m3, which can have potential use in civil engineering, both as insulation from heat and …

In the present investigation, rice husk ash (RHA), bamboo leaf ash (BLA) and palm oil fuel
ash (POFA) known as agricultural-waste materials locally available were used to produce …

Energy use in the building is responsible for one-third of total carbon dioxide (CO 2)
emissions globally. Nearly half of the energy loss occurs through the building envelope due …

Lightweight concrete is a porous material that is growing in demand because of its attractive
properties. However, because of the high porosity of this lightweight material, moisture can …

Researchers have shown significant interest in the incorporation of nanoscale components
into concrete, primarily driven by the unique properties exhibited by these nanoelements. A …
