Microstructure of biopolymer-modified aerial lime mortars
(EDP Sciences, 2020-10-14)Cellulose-based viscosity-modifying admixtures are used on daily basis in a wide range of building materials, dominantly in pre-mixed mortar systems. Lately, alternative admixtures such as different “gums” have emerged. ... -
Mortars with Crushed Lava Granulate for Repair of Damp Historical Buildings
(MDPI, 2019-10-30)In this paper, crushed lava granulate was used as full silica sand replacement in composition of repair mortars based on hydrated lime, natural hydraulic lime, or cement-lime binder. Lava granules were analyzed by X-ray ... -
Characterization of geopolymers prepared using powdered brick
(Elsevier, 2019-11-01)Geopolymerization of waste products can contribute to the solution of current environ-mental issues related to depletion of natural resources. In this paper, several geopolymer mixes are prepared using waste brick in ... -
Modelling of interfacial transition zone effect on resistance to crack propagation in fine-grained cement-based composites
(Italian Group of Fracture, 2017-07-03)In this paper, the attention is paid to investigation of the importance of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in selected fine-grained cement-based composites for the global fracture behaviour. This is a region of cement ... -
Components of the Fracture Response of Alkali-Activated Slag Composites with Steel Microfibers
(MDPI, 2019-05-16)Knowledge of the mechanical and primarily fracture parameters of composites with a brittle matrix is essential for the quantification of their resistance to crack initiation and growth, and also for the specification of ... -
Optical performance of colored crystalline solar cells for building energy efficient application
(Elsevier, 2015-10-17)The optical properties of building materials belong to the features that are currently taken into account more frequently. There are various reasons for dealing with those parameters. Some of them aim to achieve specific ... -
Rheology of natural hydraulic lime pastes modified by non-traditional biopolymeric admixtures
(SCIENTIFIC SOC SILICATE INDUSTRY-SZTE, 2020-02-06)Viscosity enhancing admixtures, widely used to improve characteristics of concrete and ready-mix mortars, are mainly different derivatives of cellulose. Due to the nature of cellulose processing, the environmental-friendlier ... -
Electrical and Self-Sensing Properties of Alkali-Activated Slag Composite with Graphite Filler
(MDPI, 2019-05-16)The electrical properties of concrete are gaining their importance for the application in building construction. In this study, graphite powder was added to alkali-activated slag mortar as an electrically conductive filler ... -
Thermal behaviour of metakaolin/fly ash geopolymers with chamotte aggregate
(MDPI, 2016-06-30)Geopolymers are generally appreciated for their good resistance against high temperatures. This paper compares the influence of thermal treatment with temperatures ranging from 200–1200 °C on the mechanical properties and ... -
Effect of the preparation of lime putties on their properties
(Springer Nature, 2017-12-08)In the study of lime as the basic component of historical mortars and plasters, four lime putties prepared from various kinds of lime of various granulometry and by various ways of preparation were evaluated. The rheological ... -
Fresh state properties of lime mortars with foam glass dust
(IOP Publishing, 2020-06-08)Fine glass waste has been found to be a suitable addition to lime mortars because of the high amorphous content. The behavior of fresh air lime mortars and natural hydraulic lime mortars modified by foam glass dust is ... -
Methodology for the quantification of concrete sustainability
(EDP Sciences, 2018-06-26)LCA is a method that evaluates the life cycle of a structure from the point of view of its impact on the environment. Consideration is given also to energy and raw material costs, as well as to environmental impact throughout ... -
Effect of steel fibres dosage in alkali-activated slag mortars on acoustic emission obtained during three-point bending tests
(EDP Sciences – Web of Conferences, 2017-05-24)The acoustic emission phenomenon is directly associated with nucleation of cracks in structural materials during loading. This paper analyses acoustic emission signals captured during three-point bending fracture tests of ... -
