This work presents how to assess a rate of adhesion between bituminous binder and mineral aggregate. Asphalt mixtures composed from grade bitumen 50/70, reference or modified with adhesion promoters based on amines, and ...

The article deals with the selection of a suitable hardening accelerator for cement composite material for mass production of masonry blocks. The blocks contain cement and finely ground recycled concrete in ratio 1:1. Three ...

Recycling of materials is very popular and very important in these days. Finding the new ways to process and use these materials is a key to get rid of a lot of construction waste. The amount of landfilling needs to be ...

The article focuses on the impact of different type of mixing approach on resulting mechanical properties of cement composites. The monitored parameters of the mixing approach were the speed of mixing and the method of ...

The article focuses on the impact of waste marble powder on resulting cement composites. We investigate of influence waste marble powder on the hydration process and hence the resulting phase composition. The hydration ...

The surface treatment of polypropylene microfibers by plasma processing in oxygen and argon was studied with the motivation to increase their cohesion with the cement matrix. By plasma treatment, it is possible to modify ...

Mineral wool is one of the most commonly used types of thermal insulation in the European Union at the present, however, it generates massive amounts of waste. From an environmental standpoint, recycling or reuse of ...

This paper focuses on the mechanical properties investigation of cement pastes reinforced with surface treated polymer fibers. The cement matrix was composed of Portland cement (CEM I 42.5 R, w/c ratio equal to 0.4). Two ...

The aim of this work is to describe bonding properties between surface treated polymer fibers and a cement matrix. In order to increase an interaction between the matrix and fiber surfaces, two fiber types having approx. ...

Recycled concrete powder (RCP) mostly consisting of cement paste could be reused as partial cement replacement. The aim of this paper is to compare hydration and mechanical properties of RCP and two types of silica sand ...
