Prediction of Compressive Strength of Calcined Clay Based Cement Mortars Using Support Vector Machine and Artificial Neural Network Techniques
(Research Gate, 2020)
Prediction of strength in cement based materials is vital in construction industry as it forms the basis upon which important
tasks can be performed such as the time for mortar form removal, project scheduling and quality ...
Effects of Sulfuric Acid Attack on Hydrated Calcined Clay Limestone Cement Mortars
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
The paper presents experimental findings on the performance of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) in acidic media. LC3 was made by inter-grinding a blend of 50 % clinker with ground 30 % Fired Rejected Clay Bricks (FRCB), ...
Characterization of Composite Material from the Copolymerized Polyphenolic Matrix with treated Cassava Peels Starch
(Elsevier, 2020)
Conventional binders in the particleboards formulation involve use of formaldehyde resins. Epidemiologic studies show that formaldehyde is carcinogenic. Efforts to reduce formaldehyde emissions by use of scavengers has not ...
Study on the Effect of Thiobacillus Intermedius Bacteria on the Physico-Mechanical Properties of Mortars of Ordinary Portland Cement
(PubMed, 2020)
Most of concrete structural failures are attributed to poor workmanship and poor engineering designs. Some microorganisms present in sewer systems can degrade the concrete and/or mortar. Concrete failures due to microbial ...
A Review on Pyroprocessing Techniques for Selected Wastes Used for Blended Cement Production Applications
(Elsevier, 2020)
Pyroprocessing is an important stage in cement manufacturing. In this process, materials are subjected to high temperatures so asto cause a chemical or physical change. Its control improves efficiency in energy utilization ...
Physico-Chemical Properties of Kenyan made Calcined Clay-Limestone Cement (LC3).
(Elsevier, 2020)
In Kenya fired clay bricks are mainly used as construction materials. However, vast quantities of these Fired Rejected Clay Bricks (FRCB) generated are rejected annually as a result of improper calcination or demolition ...
Chloride Diffusivity in Blended Cement Made from Selected Industrial and Agrowastes
(Hindawi, 2020)
This paper reports study findings on the diffusivity of chloride ions in potential blended cement. The cement, abbreviated as
PCDC, was made from blending ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with dried calcium carbide residue ...
Potential for Selected Kenyan Clay in Production of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement
(Springer, 2020)
The potential for calcined clay, and in particular Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3), to be used in concrete in Kenya was examined in this study. Locations of clay sources and existing mining infrastructure were examined ...
Physicochemical Properties of Hydrated Portland Cement Blended with Rice Husk Ash
(Hindawi, 2020)
In the presence of significant quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) and elevated temperatures in the atmosphere due to climate change, cement-based materials are susceptible to carbonation. Blended cements are more prone to ...
Review of Clay-Based Nanocomposites as Adsorbents for the Removal of Heavy Metals
(Hindawi, 2022-06-22)
Due to rapid industrialization, urbanization, and surge in modern human activities, water contamination is a major threat to humanity globally. Contaminants ranging from organic compounds, dyes, to inorganic heavy metals ...
