  2. 1. Reducing Radon Gas Emissions in Concrete

    Author : Magnus Döse; Johan Silfwerbrand; Franz Josef Maringer; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Radon gas; emissions; health; concrete; building materials; ionizing radiation; Betongbyggnad; Concrete Structures;

    Abstract : Several compulsory regulations and recommendations regarding ionising radiation for building products have been introduced in recent years. Furthermore, industry-affiliated aggregate and concrete companies strive to implement environmental goals that should be fulfilled regarding building materials. READ MORE

  4. 2. Performance based concrete mix-design : aggregate and micro mortar optimization applied on self-compacting concrete containing fly ash

    Author : Sofia Utsi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis is dealing with the field of self-compacting concrete (SCC). SCC is supposed to fill the form properly and enclose the reinforcement without any external vibration. The fresh properties of such a concrete are thus essential. SCC was first introduced in Japan in the middle of 1980th. READ MORE

  5. 3. Self-Healing Concrete

    Author : Magdalena Rajczakowska; Andrzej Cwirzen; Karin Habermehl-Cwirzen; Hans Hedlund; Erik Schlangen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cementitious materials; self-healing; exposure; fly ash; calcite; C-S-H; cracking; Byggmaterial; Building Materials;

    Abstract : Concrete is a brittle material prone to cracking due to its low tensile strength. Crack repairs are not only expensive and time-consuming but also increase the carbon footprint. Designing a novel concrete material possessing the ability to self-repair cracks would enhance its sustainability. READ MORE

  6. 4. Leaching of Hazardous Substances from Concrete Constituents and Painted Wood Panels

    Author : Åse Togerö; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thiocyanate; biocides; leaching; runoff; admixture; coatings; resin acids; blast furnace slag; toxic; fly ash; cement; tall oil; diffusion paints; concrete;

    Abstract : At a time of increased concern about environmental issues in the building sector, it is essential to know the environmental performance of different building materials. Knowledge of the possible release of hazardous substances in building materials is scarce, and these aspects have often been neglected in environmental assessment methods. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hydration, pore structure, and related moisture properties of fly ash blended cement-based materials : Experimental methods and laboratory measurements

    Author : Oskar Linderoth; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cement; Murbruk; Betong; Hydratation; Porstruktur; Sorption; Fukttransport; Mineraliska tillsatsmaterial; Flygaska; Cement; Mortar; Concrete; Hydration; Pore structure; Water vapour sorption; Moisture transport; Supplementary cementitious materials; Fly ash;

    Abstract : Cement-based materials, such as mortar and concrete, are the most employed construction materials in the world. Cement is an important component; it reacts with water to form a glue, called cement paste, which causes the material to harden. Today, cement production accounts for a significant portion of the world’s annual carbon dioxide emissions. READ MORE
