Book Handbook of Alkali Activated Cements  Mortars and Concretes

Download or read book Handbook of Alkali Activated Cements Mortars and Concretes written by F. Pacheco-Torgal and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 855 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an updated state-of-the-art review on new developments in alkali-activation. The main binder of concrete, Portland cement, represents almost 80% of the total CO2 emissions of concrete which are about 6 to 7% of the Planet's total CO2 emissions. This is particularly serious in the current context of climate change and it could get even worse because the demand for Portland cement is expected to increase by almost 200% by 2050 from 2010 levels, reaching 6000 million tons/year. Alkali-activated binders represent an alternative to Portland cement having higher durability and a lower CO2 footprint. - Reviews the chemistry, mix design, manufacture and properties of alkali-activated cement-based concrete binders - Considers performance in adverse environmental conditions. - Offers equal emphasis on the science behind the technology and its use in civil engineering.

Book Mechanical Property Relationships of Cement Or Lime Stabilized Soils Throughout a Pavement s Life

Download or read book Mechanical Property Relationships of Cement Or Lime Stabilized Soils Throughout a Pavement s Life written by Leigh E.W. Ayers and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil-cement is an integral part of pavement design, especially in areas that are aggregate deprived, such as Mississippi. Current designs are reliant on the relationship of unconfined compressive strength (UCS) to other mechanical properties. The other properties discussed in this dissertation are Modulus of Elasticity (E), Indirect Tensile Strength (St), and Modulus of Rupture (MOR). This dissertation includes a comprehensive review of past design methods and mechanical property relationships. While some mechanical property relationships were shown to be well understood (i.e. St to UCS), others were not as accurate, especially for the later life mechanical properties (i.e. MOR to UCS and E to UCS). This dissertation investigates the Plastic Mold (PM) Compaction (PM) Device and its ability to measure mechanical property relationships (UCS, E, St) for soil-cement as well as different materials, such as lime stabilized subgrade and Cold in Place Recycling (CIR) stabilized with cement. These mechanical property relationships were compared to soil-cement beam specimens, which are capable of being tested for the four previously mentioned mechanical properties from an individual specimen. Finally to have a better understanding of the later life mechanical properties and their relationships, PM and beam specimens were exposed to elevated temperatures to forecast out how these properties interrelate over time. These mechanical property values and relationship were then compared to Mississippi field cores ranging from 10 to 54 years old. These protocols, beam and elevated curing, were able to replicate what was seen for pavement cores that were extracted after decades of service. Over 1300 specimens were testing showing how these mechanical properties interacted from early ages and throughout a pavement’s life.
