2. 1. Recycling of concrete in new structural concrete

   Author : Madumita Sadagopan; Andrzej Cwirzen; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; concrete recycling; sustainability; closed-loop recycling; recycled aggregates; compressive strength; workability mechanical pre-processing; secondary cementitious materials; green concrete; climate-optimized concrete; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   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. 2. Self-compacting concrete : properties of fresh and hardening concrete for civil engineering applications

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

   Abstract : This licentiate thesis consists of three papers, A-C. In Paper A the consequence of using self-compacting concrete for civil engineering applications regarding the fresh and young stage and possible consequences on production techniques are studied. READ MORE

5. 3. Fibre reinforced concrete : fracture mechanics methods applied on self-compacting concrete and energetically modified binders

   Author : Patrik Groth; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is a type of building material that is increasing in use. As new types on concrete develops the need to update the knowledge on the use of fibre reinforcement increases. This thesis covers test methods for FRC that ranges from standard beam tests to sophisticated uniaxial tension tests. READ MORE

6. 4. 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

7. 5. Dry Classification of Fine Aggregates for Concrete and Asphalt

   Author : Robert Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; concrete; asphalt; classification; aggregate;

   Abstract : Aggregate is defined as particles of rock which in combination are used as a civil engineering material. It is used in bounded form in asphalt and concrete. Historically natural sand has been used as fine aggregate for concrete production in Sweden. READ MORE
