TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model is proposed to fit the power consumption curve of the mixer and to choose a criterion to determine the stabilisation time of the curve, which can be expressed by using the actual and maximum solid content concepts.

TL;DR: In this article, a bibliographical analysis gathered extensive data on cob process and summarized the different cob process variations, attempting to take into account their diversity, and more specifically, a clear definition of cob with regard to other earth construction processes, a first summarized description of cob process that clearly distinguished its variations, a list of fibres traditionally employed, values and, if possible, average and standard deviation for fibre length, fibre content, manufacture water content, drying times, lift heights and wall thicknesses, a summary of the strategies to manage shrinkage cracks, a criterion on the quality

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a new model for concrete mixing kinetics, which defines five successive stages through which the mixture characteristics change and uses the time-variation of the mixer power consumption as a relevant tool to identify the transient stages of the mixture during mixing.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the carbonation process on concrete adsorbent properties and how it can influence on the removal of phosphate ions in aqueous media are studied. And the potential applicability of P loaded concrete adsorent is also evaluated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of inorganic sludge from the inert part of construction and demolition wastes (CSW) as an adsorbent in the removal of aqueous effluents.
