TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the possibility of using crushed bricks as coarse and fine aggregate for a new concrete and showed that it is possible to manufacture concrete containing crushed bricks (coarse and fine) with characteristics similar to those of natural aggregates concrete provided that the percentage of recycled aggregates is limited to 25% and 50% for the coarse aggregates, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of ternary blended cement improves the early age and the long-term compressive and flexural strengths of mortar prisms in which Portland cement was replaced by up to 20%LF and 30%NP at 2, 7, 28 and 90 days.
Abstract: The benefits of limestone filler (LF) and natural pozzolana (NP) as partial replacement of Portland cement are well established. Economic and environmental advantages by reducing CO2 emission are well known. However, both supplementary materials have certain shortfalls. LF addition to Portland cement causes an increase of hydration at early ages inducing a high early strength, but it can reduce the later strength due to the dilution effect. On the other hand, NP contributes to hydration after 28 days improving the strength at medium and later ages. Hence, ternary blended cement (OPC–LF–NP) with better performance could be produced. In this paper, mortar prisms in which Portland cement was replaced by up to 20%LF and 30%NP were tested in flexure and compressive strength at 2, 7, 28 and 90 days. Some samples were tested under sulfate and acid solutions and for chloride ions permeability. Results show that the use of ternary blended cement improves the early age and the long-term compressive and flexural strengths. Durability was also enhanced as better sulfate, acid and chloride ions penetration resistances were proved. (A) “Reprinted with permission from Elsevier”.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the Algerian experience on earth construction in housing and give an extended review of an experimental study to investigate a stabilised soil by either mechanical means such as compaction and vibration and/or chemical stabilisation by cement.
Abstract: Earth construction is widespread in desert and rural areas because of its abundance and cheap labour and could be an alternative construction material for low cost housing in Algeria. However, earth construction suffers from shrinkage cracking, low strength and lack of durability. This paper reports on the Algerian experience on earth construction in housing and gives an extended review of an experimental study to investigate a stabilised soil by either mechanical means such as compaction and vibration and/or chemical stabilisation by cement. Soil used was characterised by its grading curve and chemical composition. Compaction was either applied statically or dynamically by a drop weight method. A mixture of sand and cement was also tried. The effect of each method of stabilisation on shrinkage, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and water resistance are briefly reported. The experimental results showed that the best method of stabilisation of the soil investigated, which gives a good compressive strength and a better durability at a reasonable cost, could be a combination of a mechanical compaction and chemical stabilisation by cement or sand and cement up to a certain level.

TL;DR: This study, involving >1000 children, is the first to provide reference values for pulse wave velocity in children and teenagers, thereby constituting a suitable tool for longitudinal clinical studies assessing subgroups of children who are at long-term risk of cardiovascular disease.
Abstract: Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity is an established method for characterizing aortic stiffness, an individual predictor of cardiovascular mortality in adults. Normal pulse wave velocity values fo...
