MODIFIED SAWDUST CONCRETE [PDF]

Statyba, 2000
Summary Wood-cement materials are widely produced and applied in many developed countries. In this case special prepared wood aggregates are employed. Wood sawdust practically is not employed. Extracts, present in wood, slow down the cement hydration. The influence of mineral additives on this process was determined. The efficiency of mineral additives
