The effects of silica fume and aggregate size on the softening response and brittleness of high strength concretes were investigated by measuring the fracture energy GF, the characteristic length l,, and brittleness index B. Based on the fracture tests and microscopic studies at the aggregate-matrix

The effects of the maximum void size ann aggregate shape and roughness on the flexural strength of high strength mortar were investigated. Substantial reductions in the maximum void size and air content of quartz aggregate mortars resulted in flexural strength increases. These increases in flexural
The surface chemistry and the porous texture of activated carbons prepared from a charred product (C,,,-600), which was obtained from rockrose (Cistus ladaniferus, L.) extracted previously into petroleum ether, were studied. Activated carbons were prepared by heating C,,,-600 between 350 and 850ยฐC i
Results of accelerated tests for screening potentially reactive concrete aggregates are presented. The tests were performed using a newly developed, computer-controlled Double LVDT instrumentation. A statistical analysis of data obtained from the test indicates that high and significant correlations
