Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of inorganic polymer (geopolymer) mortars made of glass cullet
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of experiments aiming to produce geopolymers from glass cullet, a non-traditional material compared to those usually found in the manufacture of metakaolin and fly ash, were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beneficial use of boiler ash in alkali-activated bricks

TL;DR: In this article, waste boiler ash is incorporated into masonry construction materials using alkali-activation and high compressive strengths are observed in the bricks made with all three ashes, demonstrating the robustness of the proposed mix design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of hydroxypropylguars on the early age hydration of Portland cement
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of hydroxypropylguars (HPG) on cement hydration was investigated in order to improve understanding on the delayed effect induced by polysaccharides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of coil-overlapping for the effectiveness of hydroxypropylguars as water retention agent in cement-based mortars
TL;DR: In this article, the role of hydroxypropylguars (HPG) on water retention capacities of cement-based mortars was investigated and the results allowed us to rule out that water retention is only governed by pore solution viscosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of hydroxypropylguars on rheological behavior of cement-based mortars
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of HPG and its dosage on mortar rheological properties was investigated thanks to a suitable measurement procedure, which reveals additional and specific repulsive forces induced by polysaccharides.
