1. Recycling of concrete in new structural concrete
Abstract : Concrete waste as crushed concrete aggregates (CCA) in structural concrete gives a new purpose and prolongs the technical life of the reference concrete accomplishing closed loop recycling. This research investigates CCA as aggregate replacement in an industrial reference concrete recipe as fine aggregate fractions and overall aggregate replacement. READ MORE

4. Moisture Conditions and Frost Resistance of Concrete in Hydraulic Structures
Abstract : Owing to the winter conditions in Sweden, the effects of frost action may have a considerable impact on the deterioration of concrete. Both superficial and internal damage, which are suspected to have been caused by frost action, have been found in concrete in hydraulic structures. READ MORE

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