High LOI is believed to interfere with the hydration reactions, as well as reducing the workability and increasing the water demand when used in concrete, affecting the final strength and durability of the product [23].
In its detailed measurements, the text seems to be an invitation to real-life reconstruction, as though the workability of the ship is presented in order to prove the reality of the rest of the story.
The results showed that the workability as well as compressive strength before and after firing improved by increasing QP content.
In this study, the opportunity of employing quartz powder (QP) to improve the workability as well as the compressive strength of alkali-activated fly ash (AAFA) pastes before and after exposure to thermal loads has been investigated.
In order to make the achieved relationships as useful as possible for creating the workability of SCC and HPC, the research was conducted on mortars.
Therefore, the formulation has to be optimized in terms of the workability, performance, as well as cost consideration.
The usage of rice husk in the rehabilitation mortar was abandoned, as it reduced the workability notably while its beneficial effect on the puzzolanic reaction could not be proven clearly within this study.
The test results show that as the added percentage of FBA increased, the workability of fresh concrete as well as the mechanical properties including the water-tightness of hardened concrete improved.
