Suppression Mechanisms for Cesium Leaching from a Fly Ash–Mixed Cement Matrix
ABSTRACT The two suppression mechanisms for Cs leaching, which contain fly ash (FA), are the refinement effect on capillary pores and the adsorption effect that are dependent on the mix proportion of FA. If the leaching suppression by the adsorption effect is expected, FA should be mixed with the cement matrix at a replacement ratio of approximately 70

An Investigation of the Behavior of Raw Calcareous Fly Ash in Mortar Mixtures [PDF]
The behavior of unprocessed calcareous fly ash in cement mortar mixtures is often questionable and unpredictable and that is one of the difficulties in confining these fly ashes within the limits of standards.

Open‐Graded Friction Course (OGFC) mixtures for flexible pavements. ABSTRACT Open‐Graded Friction Course (OGFC) mixtures in flexible pavements are known for their efficient drainage characteristics, but concerns exist regarding their structural weaknesses and short lifespans. This study investigates methods to improve the mechanical performance of OGFC

Clays for Low‐Carbon Cements: Overview, Progress, and Challenges
This review provides a critical overview of recent developments of activated clays to function as artificial pozzolans. After a thorough description of the clays that yield good pozzolanic performances, selected examples are given on thermal and mechanical activations. Chiefly, general correlations are extracted from reported data despite its scattered

Some considerations about the durability of historic mortars [PDF]
The current manuscript discusses the durability of historical mortars. The majority of the descriptions about those mortars are mainly related to the Roman period and refer the mixture of calcium hydroxide and pozzolans (volcanic ashes and calcined ...

Elastic Properties of Concrete Incorporating Ogugu Lateritic Sand as Fine Aggregate
This study investigates the substitution of conventional fine aggregate with Ogugu lateritic sand in concrete grades 25 and 50, focusing on elastic behavior and strength development. The results show that laterized concrete achieves significant strength gains over time, with grade 25 compressive strength increasing from 14.11 N/mm2 at 3 days to 32.27 N/
