Thirteenth International Conference on Advances in Concrete Technology and Sustainability Issues
Also Known As:
The Thirteenth International Conference on Advances in Concrete Technology and Sustainability Issues, as described in the provided text, is a collection of 26 papers presented at the conference held in Ottawa, Canada, in July 2015. The papers cover various topics related to concrete technology and sustainability. Some of the topics discussed include responsibility, durability, and construction requirements in ACI 318-14, grouts for bridge post-tensioning tendons at below-freezing temperatures, case studies of CO2 utilization in concrete, and the effect of steam curing on the mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete containing pozzolan.
Other topics covered in the papers include the performance of sulpho-based rapid-hardening concrete, the flexural crack width of reinforced concrete beams with roof tile waste aggregate, the processing of sugar cane bagasse for making it pozzolanic, and the influence of coal mining by-products on the properties of blended cement. The collection also includes papers on the characterization of concrete with recycled aggregates, the influence of a new metal silicate hydrate admixture on concrete strength and durability, shotcrete testing, designing alternative binders, and the effect of supplementary cementitious materials on the rheology of blended cements.
Additional topics covered in the collection include the durability and dimensional stability of concrete containing zinc slag as sand, the hydration properties and technical behavior of calcium sulfoaluminate cements, the use of microspheres-based admixture for freeze-thaw durability of concrete, the adoption of resistivity tests for concrete acceptance, the compatibility of superplasticizers in concrete with mixed recycled aggregate, the research on using fluorosilicate for enhancing the performance of concrete, the properties of steam-cured fly ash concrete using porous ceramic waste aggregate, and the evaluation and modification of the fib Service Life Design Model for the Persian Gulf region.
