TL;DR: In this article, a test program was carried out to develop information about the mechanical properties of rubberized concretes with and without silica fume, which were obtained by partially replacing the aggregate with rubber contents varying from 2.5% to 50% by total aggregate volume.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of coarse aggregate on the compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strength on concrete produced at different strength levels was investigated using basalt, limestone and gravel coarse aggregates.

TL;DR: The ratios of splitting tensile strength to compressive strength of lightweight aggregate concretes were found to be similar to that of normalweight concrete and all the 28- and 56-day concrete specimens had a durability factor greater than 85 and 90, respectively, which met the requirement for freezing and thawing durability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of aggregate properties such as strength, porosity, water absorption, bulk density and specific gravity on the strength and durability of lightweight fly ash aggregate concrete (LWAC) are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of four types of ductile, moment-resisting precast concrete frame connections and one monolithic concrete connection were compared with that of the monolithic connection in high seismic zones.
