Advancements in Geopolymer Concrete: Formulation Optimization, Strength Characteristics, and Sustainable Applications
Abstract: This research explores the optimization of Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) formulations by investigating the mix proportions of fly ash, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate. The study focuses on enhancing early strength properties and delves into the complex geopolymerization mechanism, unraveling the unique contributions of each constituent material. Additionally, the research systematically evaluates the strength characteristics of…
Conceptual Approach to the Tehran-North Freeway Project from the Perspective of Miller’s Living Systems
Abstract: Having a systematic approach will greatly help stakeholders to know more about thecommunications, needs, and processes of the project. The approach to living systems that have beenexpressed by Miller, however, is derived from the field of biology, but due to its dynamic nature, it isalso applicable to other fields of science. In this study, we…
Enhancing Concrete Sustainability: A Critical Review of Recycled Aggregate Practices
Abstract: The surge in construction material demand, propelled by urbanization, necessitates sustainable wastemanagement strategies. Recycling demolished waste into concrete has gained prominence due toenvironmental concerns and resource depletion. This review consolidates insights gleaned fromvarious studies on the utilization of recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) in concrete. Investigationsreveal that water absorption in RCA depends on adhered mortar quality,…
Review of Partial Replacement of Cement with Metakaolin and Utilization of M-Sand, Alongside Addition of Steel Fiber, in the Construction Industry
Abstract: In this contemporary context, demands placed on concrete have escalated significantly. Variousessential properties of concrete such as strength, durability, workability, and expected service liferequire enhancement. This work focuses on investigating the strength properties of concrete throughdifferent substitutions of cement with metakaolin (MK), manufactured sand (M-sand), and steel fiber.Tests were conducted in accordance with Bureau of…
Strengthening of Foundation for Pavement
Abstract: Abstract The bearing capacity of soil is a critical factor in construction engineering, particularly for designing and constructing pavement foundations. It directly depends on the load intensity the soil can support. For Class AA loading conditions, a minimum bearing capacity of 20 t/m² is required. However, the presence of frequent rain and flash floods often…
