Expanded perlite aggregate (EPA) is a heat and sound insulator, and lightweight material which ensures economical benefits in constructions. This paper investigates the properties of concrete containing EPA considering cement types (CEM II 32.5R and CEM I 42.5R), dosages (300, 350 and 400) and repla

This paper presents the results of a research program carried out at University of Aveiro, Portugal to evaluate the properties of concrete made with crushed bricks replacing natural aggregates. Two types of brick were investigated. The bricks were crushed in order to obtain a usable aggregate. The p
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
