Lightweight concrete containing recycled aggregates

open access: yesMagazine of Civil Engineering
This study investigated the replacement of fine concrete aggregates with recycled aggregate. The results showed that the effect of recycled aggregate, so that, replacing 25, 50, 75 and 100 % of natural aggregate led to an 8, 23, 15 and 11 %, respectively, increase in the compressive strength of lightweight concrete samples.

Distilling food web dynamics: top–down and bottom–up drivers of extinction and trophic cascades

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional approaches rely on continuous representations of population size, but in many cases, the precise number of individuals is unknowable.

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

Optimising dosage of Lytag used as coarse aggregate in lightweight aggregate concretes

open access: yesJournal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineers, 2013
Lytag, manufactured first by pelletisation of a mixture of fly ash, bentonite and water, and then by sintering the spherical pellets at about 1 300°C, is used as coarse aggregate for producing lightweight plain and structural concrete mixtures.

Autogenous shrinkage, speciality of high performance concretes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Autogenous shrinkage is a consequence of self dessication in pores of hardened cement paste and is, at high performance concrete significantly greater than that of the ordinary concretes, mainly due to low water to cement ratio.
