The mix has a consistency from S2 to SF3, a compressive strength in the range of 30-80 MPa and a ductility represented by fc, ffl, fR1 and fR3 values, wherein the concrete mix contains at least 390 Kg of binder, the concrete mix has a paste volume of 300-600 liters, the concrete...

consistency is a big deal. Consistency in fresh properties and long-term performance, load after load. Consistency in availability. Consistency in chemical make up. Consistency in supply-chain availability. Research data[08]in pumice-blended cement mix designs quantifies a performance consistency that...
You will need help carrying the cement and you need to get mortar mix. I did these projects with the concrete mix they sold me at Lowes’ and it is full of rocks. The kids couldn’t even make a dent with their hands and the stones just sat on top and promptly fell off. Forget ev...
Black (2014) states that optimum mix designs in terms of CO2e per unit strength are not the cheapest. This can heavily deter the industry from exploring sustainable options since cost is a key driver for producing concrete. Although these alternative materials re- quire more development, it is...
For this section, the mix designs were performed to find the optimal mix proportion for the development of the ultrahigh-strength concrete. Due to the more diverse and significant effects on the compressive strength, the ordinary Portland cement, silica fume, and CCCW are considered as the main ...
A visual inspection of the slopes in the scatter plot in Fig.4and the δ indices in Fig.5reveal that the net CO2benefit is most sensitive to the amount of OPC produced and used in the design mix (e.g., P1 in datasets 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Fig.5), the energy used for CO2curing...

For this purpose, in this research, a new method to determine the composition of concrete in an automated way was developed. The study focuses on non-destructive characterization of the chemical composition of cement and aggregates in three concrete mix designs using an hXRF analyser. Kreijger ...
