Prediction Of Unconfined Compressive Strength Of Pulverized Fuel Ash-Cement-Sand Mixture
Prediction Of Unconfined Compressive Strength Of Pulverized Fuel Ash-Cement-Sand Mixture
Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya
Recently, ground improvement has become much more feasible. Chemical stabilization is a quick and affordable approach to enhancing soil characteristics. An important avenue of research is discovering alternative materials for use in soil enhancement. Pulverized fuel ash (PFA), which is a waste byproduct of coal power plants, has been shown to reduce the environmental risks and costs involved in construction. In this study, a series of unconfined compressive tests were performed for various mixtures of cement, PFA, and sand; the tests considered both the curing period and the optimum moisture content (OMC). In addition, multiple variable linear regression was used …
Supplementary Cementitious Materials Origin From Agricultural Wastes - A Review
Supplementary Cementitious Materials Origin From Agricultural Wastes - A Review
Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya
Concrete is heavily used as a construction material in modern society. With the growth in urbanization and industrialization, the demand for concrete is increasing day by-days. Therefore, raw materials and natural resources are required in large quantities for concrete production worldwide. At the same time, a considerable quantity of agricultural waste and other types of solid material disposal are posing serious environmental issues. To minimize and reduce the negative impact of the concrete industry through the explosive usage of raw materials, the use of agricultural wastes as supplementary cementitious materials, the source of which are both reliable and suitable for …
