Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The use of local aluminosilicates to serve the local engineering applications could resolve the issue of unpredicted properties of the geopolymer caused by the wide variance in aluminosailicates reactivity as mentioned in this paper.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Results show that ground BRHA can be applied as a pozzolanic material to concrete and also improve resistance to sodium sulfate attack, but it can impair resistance to magnesium sulfate attacked.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the possibility of other roles played by the bricks, especially in the case of very thick joints, perhaps producing a good bond while also serving as aggregates and giving overall good physical and mechanical performances to the mortars.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the sustainability of incorporating pulp and paper waste sludge into concrete-based mortars was analyzed, and the results showed that for use in wall and ceiling mortar coatings, the level of incorporation should not exceed 10%, because higher levels yield lower values of mechanical strength resistance, incompatible with market requirements.

TL;DR: In this article, the tensile, compressive, and flexural strength of carbon, polyethylene, and stainless steel fibers were compared in terms of tensile and compressive properties.
Abstract: Mortars containing carbon, polyethylene, and stainless steel fibers at the same volume fraction and with similar fiber diameters were compared in terms of tensile, compressive, and flexural properties. Carbon fibers, though having the lowest tensile modulus, strength, and elongation at break among the fiber types, gave mortar of the highest tensile strength and lowest cost; polyethylene fibers, due to their high ductility, gave mortar of the highest flexural toughness; and steel fibers gave mortar of the highest flexural strength. The tensile, compressive, and flexural strengths and flexural toughness were all increased by latex addition for any fiber type.
