Electric arc furnace slag in concrete
This paper describes the work carried out in laboratory to produce concrete with good properties using oxidizing electric arc furnace (EAF) slag as fine and... Read More
Ladle furnace slag in construction
Ladle furnace reducing slag is a common byproduct in steelmaking of carbon and low alloy steels. After air cooling and weathering over several days, this... Read More
Durability of concrete made with EAF slag as aggregate
Electric arc furnace (EAF) slag, a by-product of steelmaking recovered after the oxidizing process, is useful when employed as aggregate in hydraulic concrete and bituminous... Read More
Evolution of penetration resistance in fresh concrete
The objective of this research was to examine the setting of concrete through its penetration resistance; an experimental device, especially developed for this purpose was... Read More
Maturity approach applied to concrete by means of vicat tests
Better knowledge of the time of initial setting of concrete would aid contractors in planning the times of texturing and finishing a pavement. With this... Read More
Effect of dry-shaking treatment on concrete pavement properties
Although concrete pavements are the preferred solution of contractors for floors in industrial applications, comparatively little research has been done in this field. In this... Read More
Strength and durability of concrete made with electric steelmaking slag
The reuse of steelmaking slag is an important feature in improving the environmental sustainability of concrete production. In this work, the properties in the hardened... Read More
Numerical and experimental study of a new type of clip for joining cables
This paper details the design of a new metallic cable-joining clip for slope stabilization nets. The main objective of this research paper is to numerically... Read More
Abrasive wear evolution in concrete pavements
Abrasion of a concrete pavement is habitually due to the continued movement of wheels on the concrete surface. Starting from the theoretical model developed by... Read More
Quasidistributed fiber sensor for precast concrete structures monitoring
The prestressing force is transferred to the concrete during the slack period of precast concrete structures fabrication. To contribute to a better understanding of the... Read More
