Supplementary cementitious materials: New sources, characterization, and performance insights
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of emerging supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) sources is presented, along with new developments in characterizing and qualifying SCMs for use and improved knowledge of SCM on long-term concrete performance and durability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal conductivity of concrete – A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a general equation for predicting the thermal conductivity of concrete is proposed based on data reported by researchers, and the results indicate that most researchers have measured the k-value of cement-based materials based on transient methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supplementary cementitious materials origin from agricultural wastes - A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of agricultural wastes as a supplementary cementitious material in the production of concrete is discussed, with the aim to minimize the negative impact of the concrete industry through the explosive usage of raw materials, the source of which are both reliable and suitable for alternative preventive solutions promotes the environmental sustainability of the industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
A huge number of artificial waste material can be supplementary cementitious material (SCM) for concrete production – a review part II
TL;DR: In this article, the use of industrial and agricultural wastes as a supplementary cementitious material in the production of concrete has been discussed and a summary of the existing knowledge about the successful use of artificial wastes such as fly ash, slag, silica fume, rice husk ash, palm oil fuel ash, sugar cane bagasse ash, wood waste ash, bamboo leaf ash, and corn cob ash in the concrete industry is provided.

Concrete: Microstructure, Properties, and Materials
P.K. Mehta,Paulo J.M. Monteiro +1 more
TL;DR: Concrete: Microstructure, Properties, and Materials as mentioned in this paper provides complete details on the microstructure-property relationship approach to provide scientific explanation for the strength and durability of concrete.
Journal ArticleDOI
The greening of the concrete industry
TL;DR: The concrete industry is known to leave an enormous environmental footprint on Planet Earth as discussed by the authors, which contributes to the general appearance that concrete is not particularly environmentally friendly or compatible with the demands of sustainable development.

High-Performance Concrete Incorporating Rice Husk Ash as a Supplementary Cementing Material
Min-Hong Zhang,V. Mohan Malhotra +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the physical and chemical properties of rice husk ash (RHA) are investigated for both fresh and hardened concrete incorporating the same ash, and the properties of the RHA concrete are compared with those of the control Portland cement concrete and silica fume concrete.
