This article reports a study on the microstructural and mechanical properties of the Alkali Activated Slag mortars (MS) upon exposing to the elevated temperatures up to 800 degrees C. Slag cement is activated by sodium ...

In this study, mechanical properties electromagnetic (EM), and shielding effectiveness of concrete samples containing boron product and wastes was investigated in details. In order to increase shielding effectiveness of ...

One of the concrete examples of industrial symbiosis development is eco-industrial parks, which improves resource efficiency and minimizes environmental impacts by adopting models for waste exchanges between industries. ...

In this paper, bond strength and abrasion resistance of alkali activated concretes (AAC) were examined experimentally by using the central composite design (CCD) method. AAC were designed and produced considering the sodium ...

Guardrails are passive road restraint systems (RRS) used at roadsides and medians to improve road safety. In the case of inadequate post embedment depth of soil driven posts may not function as intended and design cannot ...

On January 24, 2020, a severe earthquake of magnitude Mw 6.8 hit the Sivrice district of Elazig province at 20:55 (17:55 GMT) local time. This earthquake caused significant damages, partial or total collapses in many ...

Betonarme yapı sistemlerinde dolgu duvarlar yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Dolgu duvarların yapıya sadece olumlu etkisinin olacağı ve bu etkiyi rezerv tutma düşüncesiyle, genellikle konvansiyonel analiz programlarında ...

In this study, asphalt binders were modified with polymeric triethylene glycol-based polyboron (PTEGB) and organic-based magnesium oxide (OBMO) at different concentrations. The materials used as additives were synthesized ...

Concrete structures are exposed to water throughout their service life. Nowadays, fiber-reinforced concrete is the most preferred concrete due to its superior mechanical properties. However, good mechanical properties alone ...

Large amounts of waste products have been and most probably will continue to be produced with urbanization, industrialization, and technological developments. The study presented herein is devoted to using blast furnace ...
