Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleINVESTIGATING EFFECTS OF INTRODUCTION OF CORNCOB ASH INTO PORTLAND CEMENTS CONCRETE: MECHANICAL AND THERMAL PROPERTIESAntonio Price, Ryan Yeargin, Ellie Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefits of replacing Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with Corncob Ash (CCA) blended cements. The cement industry contributes considerable amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. The main contribution of CO2 emissions from cement production results from the process of creating Calcium Oxide (CaO) from limestone (CaCO3) commonly known as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2014 · 9,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleBasalt as Pozzolana and Filler in Ordinary Portland CementH. El-Didamony, I.M. Helmy, Randa M. Osman, A.M. HabboudPozzolana is defined as a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous materials which in itself possess little or no cementing properties, but will in a finally divided form and in the presence of moisture react with Ca(OH)2 at ordinary temperature to form compound possessing cementious properties. Pozzolanic cement contains Portland cement as one of their main components in addition to natural … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2015 · 7,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGreen Building: Use of Pozzolanic Material to Reduce CO2 Emissions and Energy Conservation in the Production of Composite Pozzolanic CementAbd EL-Rahman Ragab, Shimaa Younis, Mohamed Sayed Mohamed MoawadThe effect of pozzolanic material on the mechanical properties and microstructure of clinker Portland cement mortar was studied. The main objective of this research is to formulate a Pozzolanic blended cement mortar with high mechanical properties to reduce CO2 emissions and energy conservation uses in the clinker industry. The present investigation aims to study the effect of fresh basalt on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 9 Jun 2022 · 6,278 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Cement Chemistry on the Performance of Cement Stabilized Tropical Lateritic SoilOdumade Adegboyega Oduniyi, Ezeah Chukwunonye, Charles Nnamdi Ezugwu, Ekeoma EmmanuelChemical composition affects overall performance of cement on other materials such as when used in concrete or for stabilization of lateritic soil. This research studied the influence of chemical composition of three Portland cement types represented as samples A, B and C on engineering performance when mixed with laterite under tropical environmental conditions.The Lateritic soil sample classified according to AASHTO … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 May 2018 · 8,804 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSetting Shrinkage Characteristics of Methyl Methacrylate-Modified Vinyl Ester Polymer ConcreteKi-Bong Choi, Seung-Ho Min, Kyu-Seok YeonThis study evaluated the setting shrinkage characteristics of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)-modified vinyl ester polymer concrete with different curing ages, MMA contents and curing temperatures. Results have shown that most of the setting shrinkage developed within 24 h after curing initiation. It was also found that an increase in MMA content led to an almost linear decrease in setting shrinkage, indicating … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 17 May 2016 · 8,300 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProperties of Fly Ash Based Coconut Fiber CompositeK. Saravana Raja Mohan, P. Jayabalan, A. RajaramanThe present paper reports the results of a study undertaken in enhancing properties of fly ash concrete composites-FMCC with locally available natural fiber. In this context a composite with fly ash, concrete and treated coconut fibers-available in plenty in rural areas of India-can be a good proposition and with this background, experimental investigation to study the effects of replacement of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2012 · 9,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBehavior of Stabilized Peat Soils in Unconfined Compression TestsWong Leong Sing, Roslan Hashim, Faisal Haji AliProblem statement: Deep stabilized peat columns were known to be economical at forming foundations to support highway embankments constructed on deep peat land. However, failure in the formation of the columns with adequate strength was often attributed to unsuitable type and insufficient dosage of binder added to the soil. Organic matter in peat was known to impede the cementing process … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Chemical Admixtures on the Engineering Properties of Tropical Peat SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Thamer A. Mohamed, Shukri MaailThis research describes a study on the effect of chemical (cement and lime) admixtures on the index and engineering properties (compaction and unconfined strength) of tropical peat soils. The ordinary Portland cement and hydrated lime were used.
