This experimental study explores the use of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and dolomite as alkali activated binders and copper slag as aggregate to achieve a cost-effective and sustainable Ultra-High-Performance Geopolymer Concrete (UHPGC). Several concrete compositions utilizing copper...

Owing to the order of the day, we are searching for an eco-friendly binding ingredient instead of cement, which is now universally used in concrete. Almost everyone extensively exploits construction materials due to their good durability and compressive characteristics. The present study examines...

The study conducted a practical examination to evaluate the influence of high temperatures on the strength and repetitive impact performance of Polypropylene fiber-reinforced Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECCs). Compressive and bending strength were examined using cylindrical and beam-shaped...

Efficient valorization of plastic waste is widely investigated by numerous researchers. The need for an alternate to conventional aggregate in concrete production has led to the evolution of numerous artificial aggregates. This research investigates the impact of adverse environmental exposure...

In this investigation, coconut shell, a lightweight agricultural waste, is used to completely replace coarse material. Based on previous findings, it is suggested that coconut shell be used as coarse aggregate in structural lightweight concrete. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to develop...

As the world population is expected to increase significantly, there is a greater need for housing and, as a result, building materials. Conventional manufacturing methods for materials such as concrete involve substantial energy usage and substantial release of carbon emissions, which contribute to...
