Components of concrete are cement, sand, aggregates and water. Mixture of Portland cement and water is called as paste. So, concrete can be called as a mixture of paste, sand and aggregates. Sometimes rocks are used instead of aggregates. The cement paste coats the surface of the fine and coarse aggregates when mixed thoroughly and binds …Web

Pelletization Process. The artificial aggregates preparation process uses pelletizer equipment with a diameter of about 500 mm–1200 mm, tilting ability between 0° and 90°, and speed variation of 5 rpm to 60 rpm, as shown in Fig. 2. The overall pelletization process includes mixing, granulating, and curing, as shown in Fig. 3. To ensure ...Web

Various types of natural rocks (e.g., limestone [], basalt [], and gravel []) have been employed in the concrete industry based on local geological circumstances.However, increasing construction demand and rapid …Web

The second change is to (1) use external references from a theory that is uniformitarian in a methodological (as opposed to substantive) sense (Bailey 1983, 2008; Gould 1965) and (2) apply such external references only for assessing the possible proximate causations behind the emergent properties in aggregates rather than for …Web

Shafigh et. al. used waste materials of oil palm shell (as coarse aggregate) and a high volume (50% and 70%) of type F fly ash (as cement replacement by mass) to make structural lightweight aggregate concrete. It was found that high-volume fly ash in oil palm shell concrete significantly reduced short-term mechanical properties.Web
