Study of Management and Control of Waste Construction Materials in Civil Construction Project
Nowadays, the increased economic growth as well as urbanization in developing countries have led into extensive construction activities that generate large amounts of wastes. Material wastage in Continue reading
Properties of Concrete Using Scoria Lightweight Aggregate Concrete
Lightweight Aggregate concrete has been proven to be able to reduce the self-weight of a structure. An experimental study was undertaken using lightweight scoria aggregate concrete (LWSAC) aiming to determine the Continue reading
Application of Waste Foundry Sand for Evolution of Low-Cost Concrete
Generation of waste foundry sand as by-product of metal casting industries causes environmental problems because of its improper disposal. Thus, its usage in building Continue reading
A Study of the Correlation Between Soil-rock Sounding and Column Penetration Test Data
Lime-cement columns have been used in Sweden to improve poor soil conditions since the 1970’s. The method is inexpensive and flexible, but is difficult to test since the columns are Continue reading
Geopolymer Concrete: the Green Alternative With Suitable Structural Properties
Concrete is the most widely used building material around the world because of the availability of raw materials, the simplicity in preparation and the moulding into different shapes. One of the main ingredients in a normal concrete mixture is Continue reading
A Study on Industrial Towns’ Development: Ludvika’s Challenges
Ludvika and Borlänge are municipalities located in the manufacturing belt of Sweden (Bergslagen); the two municipalities have had different Continue reading
Vertical Displacements in a Medium-rise Timber Building
The history of timber buildings in Sweden entered a new era when the authorities decided to lift the ban on constructing more than two-storey timber buildings in Sweden. This change in legislation has contributed to the emergence of timber construction during the Continue reading
Flyash Bricks
Flyash is a burnt residue of pulverized coal (bituminous or sub-bituminous) and is siliceous in nature. R&D efforts undertaken during the past few decades have revealed that this material can be Continue reading
Potential Use of Natural Red Mud as Pozzolan for Portland Cement
Red mud, the main waste generated in aluminum and alumina production by the Bayer process, is considered hazardous due to its high pH, according to the Brazilian standard NBR 10004/2004, and worldwide generation of this waste exceeds Continue reading
Strength Characteristics of Structural Concrete Elements Using Foundry Sand
The over exploitation of non-renewable materials is becoming a threat and therefore it is necessary to seek the possibility of recycling them, once their durability is Continue reading
