Self-Consolidating Paving Grade Geopolymer Concrete

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
The cement concrete used in the construction of rigid pavement is usually stiff mix with a low slump. The concrete of this type requires a high degree of compaction which is achieved employing needle vibration or roller compaction technique in the field.

Institutional Entrepreneurship and Work for Enhanced Sustainability at the Base of the Pyramid

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Promoting sustainability at the base of the pyramid (BoP) often falls short of inclusive development due to informal and fragmented institutions, creating institutional voids. Although institutions are critical in BoP settings, there is limited clarity on how institutional mechanisms can address sustainability challenges in low‐income contexts

Assessing the Impact of Recycled Concrete Aggregates on the Fresh and Hardened Properties of Self-Consolidating Concrete for Structural Precast Applications

open access: yesInfrastructures
This study explores the influence of different concentrations of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) on the fresh and hardened properties of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in order to assess the structural suitability of the use of RCA in a precast ...

The Strategic Role of Waste Inventories in Industrial Symbiosis: A Simulation‐Based Perspective on Performance and Resilience of Industrial Symbiosis Networks

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ensuring the resilience of industrial symbiosis networks (ISNs) has emerged as a key concern in the literature. However, existing studies focus on network‐level strategies, neglecting the potential benefits derived from strengthening the links between symbiotic partners.

Corrosion Evaluation of the Rebar Embedded in Self Consolidating Concrete under Marine Environment

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2013
In this investigation was evaluated the corrosion of ASTM A 706 structural steel embedded in self consolidating concrete (SCC). Two steel bars were inserted in each specimen; they act as working electrode and a graphite electrode at the center of the ...

Transfer and Development Length of Prestressing Tendons in Full-Scale AASHTO Prestressed Concrete Girders Using Self-Consolidating Concrete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a highly workable concrete that flows through densely reinforced or complex structural elements under its own weight. The benefits of using SCC include: a) Reducing labor costs by eliminating the need for mechanical
