Correlation between compressive strength and elastic modulus of light weight self-compacting concrete using coconut shell as coarse aggregate

TL;DR: In this paper , the use of ceramic waste (CW) in self-compact concrete has been discussed and design parameters like water to binder ratio, water to cement ratio, superplasticizer dosage, and replacement percentage of CW waste were studied on the slump flow and compressive strength of SCC.

TL;DR: In this article , the results obtained from an investigation which was carried out using waste building block, namely autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) brick as aggregate for developing lightweight concrete (LWC) were studied using M20 and M30 grade normal strength concrete.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors systematically reviewed the physical properties, chemical properties, and heat treatment methods of five types of PBCs and their impacts after replacing cement in self-compact concrete (SCC).

TL;DR: In this paper, a new mix design method for self-compacting concrete (SCC) is proposed, where the amount of aggregates required is determined, and the paste of binders is then filled into the voids of aggregate to ensure that the concrete thus obtained has flowability, selfcompacting ability and other desired SCC properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of an investigation carried out on the comparative cost analysis and strength characteristics of concrete produced using crushed, granular coconut and palm kernel shells as substitutes for conventional coarse aggregate in gradation of 0, 25, 50, 75% and 100%.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a useful overview of the properties of high strength concrete that are of concern to structural engineers and the design profession, and conclude that at the material level, high-strength concrete is less ductile than normal strength concrete, but at the sectional level for reinforced concrete elements, if the ratio p/pb is kept constant, the deflection ductility is essentially independent of the strength of concrete.

TL;DR: In a short-term study, for up to 90 days, properties of oil palm shell (OPS) concrete namely compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, drying shrinkage and initial surface absorption, have been determined and a comparison is made with control concrete as mentioned in this paper.
