This paper presents a study of the effects of type of mixer and mineral admixture on the workability and compressive strength of high strength concrete. The tilting drum mixer was found to be able to perform like the pan mixer in producing high strength concrete with compressive strength higher than

β¦ Synopsis
The production of a high-strength, high performance concrete using high volumes of industrial by-products is tested in laboratory mixtures. The by-products used are high-calcium fly ash and ladle furnace slag as binders and electric arc furnace slag as aggregates. Fly ash is used as 50% by mass of the total binder and ladle furnace slag as 30% by mass of the total binder. Slag aggregates are used in replacement of coarse aggregate or in replacement of both fine and coarse aggregates. In the mixtures containing both supplementary cementitious materials and slag aggregates the produced concrete shows high-strength (>70MPa), good abrasion resistance and fracture toughness.

The optimization of properties of lightweight fly ash aggregates for suitability in high-strength lightweight fly ash concrete production was investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). Design-Expert software was used to establish the design matrix and to analyze the experimental data. Th
Ihis paper reports results of length change over time of high-strength cement paste, mortar, and concrete in moist conditions. The effect of specimen size, water-tocement ratio and type and size of aggregate on the water absorption and length change were also investigated. Water permeation depth was
Influence of high temperature on the properties of concrete containing non-ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS) and coal bottom ash (BA) as fine aggregate was presented. Six series of concrete mixtures were prepared by partially replacing fine aggregate separately with GBFS and BA. Replacemen
