Experimental Study of Self-Compacting Mortar Incorporating Recycled Glass Aggregate
(2018)
This experimental research is focused on the development of self-compacting mortar
incorporating recycled glass aggregate (SCM-RGA) as partial substitution of fine aggregate (wt 0%,
10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%). The fresh ...
Determination of Appropriate Mix Proportions for the Kenyan Blended Portland Cement Concrete Production
(American Scientific Research Journal for Engineering, Technology, and Sciences (ASRJETS, 2017)
The Kenya’s vision 2030 seeks to address the rising needs of its population through infrastructure development. Reinforced concrete being the most commonly used construction material forms an integral part of this development ...
Evaluation of Characteristics of Concrete Mixed with Bamboo Leaf Ash
(The Open Construction & Building Technology Journal, 2019-04-11)
Background:
