Fresh concrete is a mixture of water, cement, aggregate and admixture (if any). After mixing, operations such as transporting, placing, compacting and finishing of fresh concrete can all considerably affect the properties of hardened concrete. It is important that the constituent materials remain un...
A sensitivity study of RCA systems was conducted through a full-factorial analysis to explore how the mixture design proportions influence the RCA concrete hardened properties. On average, the compressive strengths of concrete systems with 20% or less RCA replacement were 2% lower than that of the...
This study investigates the production of sustainable concrete mixes using recycled household greywater. Batches consisting of different mixes of cement pastes, mortar specimens, and concrete specimens were produced and tested for both fresh and hardened properties. The main variable was the type of ...

The methods involved characterization of the concrete constituent materials, preparation of concrete samples, and testing of hardened concrete samples for different structural properties and water absorption characteristics. Lateritic sand and quarry dust was used to substitute the conventional sand in differen...

The Third Edition of Concrete: Microstructure, Properties, and Materials offers a three-part approach, beginning with a section on the microstructure and properties of hardened concrete, followed by several chapters on concrete-making materials and concrete processing, and concluding with the latest ...
This paper aims at investigating the effect of crumb rubber size and content on hardened characteristics of self-compacting concrete. To this end, different self-compacting concrete mixtures were designed at constant water-to-binder ratio of 0.35 and 520 kg/m3 of binder content. The class F fly...
