Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of Mix Proportion of High Performance Mortar for Structural ApplicationsCheah Chee Ban, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: Mortar mix is a major construction material in fabrication of ferrocement structural elements. However, there have been scarce amount of technical data available on suitable mix proportion to achieve structural grade mortar with specific strength requirement and adequate level of workability for proper placement into construction formwork. Moreover, current practice in ferrocement construction work which uses mortar mix … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 8,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleValorization of Drinking Water Treatment Sludges as Raw Materials to Produce Concrete and MortarR.M. Ramirez Zamora, O. Ceron Alfaro, N. Cabirol et al.The purpose of this work was to assess the technical feasibility to valorize sludges, generated and stored at the Los Berros drinking water facility (PPLB), as raw material to produce building products (mortar and concrete) for the construction industry. The experimental study was divided into three stages: 1) sampling and characterization of PPLB sludges to determine their potential as raw … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn-Plane Behavior of Infills using Glass Fiber Shear Connectors in Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) TechniqueFarhad Akhoundi, Graça Vasconcelos, Paulo LourençoMasonry has a widespread use in the construction of the buildings even in reinforced concrete or steel frames. Past earthquakes have demonstrated the vulnerability of masonry infills resulted in the human life losses and economic costs. Recently innovative strengthening techniques such as Textile Reinforced Mortar technique (TRM) is used for enhancing the seismic response of the infills. Different procedures were … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2018 · 9,087 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Nano-Alumina on Pore Structure and Durability of Class F Fly Ash Self-Compacting MortarEhsan Mohseni, Konstantinos Daniel TsavdaridisIn this study the effect of pore structure on the mechanical properties and durability characteristics of Self-Compacting Mortars (SCM) containing nano-Al2O3 (NA) and class F fly ash are investigated. Al2O3 nanoparticles with the maximum size of 15 nm in three different proportions of 1, 3 and 5% of the binder content were utilized to partially replace the cement. The 25% … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 14 Apr 2016 · 9,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTHE HIGH VOLUME REUSE OF HYBRID BIOMASS ASH AS A PRIMARY BINDER IN CEMENTLESS MORTAR BLOCKCheah Chee Ban, Noor Shazea Ahmad Nordin, Part Wei Ken et al.High Calcium Wood Ash (HCWA) and Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA) are by-products from the wood biomass and coal energy production which are produced in large quantity with combined annual production of 500 million tonnes. This poses a serious problem for disposal of the waste material especially at places where land is scarce. The prescribed study was aimed to examine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 29 May 2014 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDURABILITY OF MIXED MORTAR LINING CONTAINING DREGS-GRITSB. P. Zanella, E. B. Sá, N. O. Acorinti et al.The improper disposal of industrial waste and exploitation of natural resources has resulted in the scarcity of river sand and environmental degradation, such as river erosions and pollution. This study aimed to assess the durability of mixed mortar lining walls and ceilings, containing 0 (default), 10 and 20% of dregs-grits compounds-waste of the pulp industry-in substitution with river sand. This … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2014 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMechanical Strength and Durability Properties of High Performance Mortar Containing Densified Silica FumeCheah Chee Ban, Mahyuddin RamliProblem statement: Numerous data and information on pozzolanic reaction and microfiller properties of silica fume were derived from laboratory investigation on silica fume in undensified form. Currently, due to low bulk density of undensified silica fume which poses problem in transportation and handling of the material, silica fume are commercially supplied in densified form. Densification process used to increase bulk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacterization of the Fracture Toughness of the Concrete Mortars Exposed to Elevated TemperaturesS. Djaknoun, A. Ahmed Benyahia, E. OuedraogoThe main objective of this research was the characterisation of the fracture toughness of concrete mortars exposed to high temperatures by using notched specimens in three point bending tests. The specimens have different lengths and were heated at different temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 900°C. The experimental test results obtained are closed with those reported by the literature, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 6,524 accessesView PDFCite
