The need for the development of new, advanced building materials increases every year, especially due to the necessary diminution of energy performance for building structures and for building production itself (including ...

This research deals with the possibility of using hazardous waste in epoxy resinbased polymeric substances. More specifically, it is the use of neutralising galvanic sludge (NGS), which produces as a by-product in the ...

One of the possible methods to reduce degradation effects due to the influence of moisture on building structures and materials is the use of hydrophobic agents - hydrophobization. The article deals with the influence of ...

This paper describes the use of cement-based waterproofing screed and waterproofing coating, in which 10% of the original amount of cement was replaced by fly ash and 2% of the crystallization admixture was added by weight ...

Although the stability of ettringite has been the subject of much research, the solution is not yet fully clear. Ettringite is generally considered to be stable up to a temperature of 110°C; however, some investigators ...

All conventional methods for the evaluation of grindability require a specific grinding instrument. These grinding instruments do not have any other practical use and thus are not very common. This paper focuses on the ...

For commercially produced polymer systems, only primary raw materials are used as fillers. These fillers are predominantly pure silica sand of various grading. The substitution of primary materials with secondary raw ...

Currently ternesite, Ca5(SiO4)2SO4, is used in the cement production, is one of two key phases of calcium sulfoaluminate cement. Some investigators claim that this phase is nearly inert or very low reactive and it hydrates ...

The primary condition for manufacturing is the correct choice of raw material, a suitable treatment facility, and a kiln capable of firing at temperatures above 1400 °C. This paper assesses some local raw materials for ...

This paper studies how pozzolan materials can be mechanically activated. For this, two major grinding technologies and different types of artificial pozzolans, such as red brick dust, granulated blastfurnace slag and sheet ...
