Influence of mineral admixtures on the mechanical properties of fresh and hardened concrete (2016)
Journal Article
Elshafie, S., Boulbibane, M., & Whittleston, G. (2016). Influence of mineral admixtures on the mechanical properties of fresh and hardened concrete. Construction Science, 19(1), 4-12. https://doi.org/10.1515/cons-2016-0005

This research aims to investigate the effect of introducing different mineral admixtures on the mechanical properties of concrete. The research is focused on optimizing the properties of fresh and hardened concrete, looking in particular at how fac...

Mechanical performance of reinforced concrete with different proportions and lengths of Basalt Fibres (2016)
Journal Article
proportions and lengths of Basalt Fibres. Journal of Material Sciences & Engineering, 5(5), https://doi.org/10.4172/2169-0022.1000271

This paper discusses the effect of the fraction (0.2-0.3% by volume) and length (22 mm and 24 mm) of basalt fibre on the mechanical properties of concrete. The paper aims to evaluate the effect of different combinations of basalt fibres on the me...
