Journal ArticleDOI
High strength concrete containing natural pozzolan and silica fume
TL;DR: In this paper, various combinations of a local natural pozzolan and silica fume were used to produce workable high to very high strength mortars and concretes with a compressive strength in the range of 69-110 MPa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of lightweight concrete containing mineral admixtures
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of fresh and hardened concretes containing locally available natural lightweight aggregates, and mineral admixtures were investigated, and it was shown that adding 10% or more of silica fume, and 5% of fly ash to lightweight concrete mixes perform better, in terms of strength and stiffness, compared to individual mixes prepared using same contents of either silica Fume or fly ash.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete square columns using ferrocement jackets
Shehab Mourad,M.J. Shannag +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of 10 one-third scale square reinforced concrete column specimens were cast; preloaded under axial compression up to various fractions (0, 60, 80, and 100%) of its ultimate load; repaired using ferrocement jackets containing two layers of Welded Wire Mesh (WWM) encapsulated in high strength mortar; and then retested to failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfate resistance of high-performance concrete
M.J. Shannag,Hussein Shaia +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, high performance concrete mixes containing various proportions of natural pozzolan and silica fume (up to 15% by weight of cement) were prepared and stored in sodium and magnesium sulfate solutions, in Dead Sea and Red Sea waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flowable high strength cementitious matrices for ferrocement applications
M.J. Shannag,Shehab Mourad +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a laboratory investigation was undertaken to develop high strength cementitious matrices for casting thin ferrocement laminates ideally suited for structural repair/retrofit.
