Authorities in Washington state recently found the remains of a missing grandmother buried under a shed and partially encased in concrete. The shocking discovery came after Marcia Norman ...

2. Effects of high temperatures on concrete microstructure Siliceous aggregates and sand, having quartz in their composition, undergo significant changes at high temperatures; the most known being the ...

This was attributed to the degradation of siliceous aggregates at such high temperatures. Notably, DM2 exhibited a maximum reduction in compressive strength than other DMs, possibly due to poor ...

The Zacks Building Products - Concrete & Aggregates industry consists of manufacturers, distributors and sellers of construction materials like aggregates and concrete along with other related ...

Their latest research looks at two methods for incorporating the phase-change material in concrete slabs and how each fares outside in the cold. One method involves treating porous lightweight ...

Its unique formula contains the right combination of siliceous aggregates and concrete, so that its porosity is similar to oaks. Even though on a microscopic scale, porosity is responsible for ...

To do this, the actual materials that make up the concrete should be considered—especially the type of aggregate used within the mix. Using lightweight aggregate made from expanded shale ...

Engineers at RMIT University have uncovered a way to replace conventional concrete aggregates with rubber from discarded tyres, an advance that meets building regulations and reduces manufacturing and ...
