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 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. ...

It has become increasingly clear, that the recent consumption of mineral resources is unsustainable. The Czech Republic produces more than 217,000 tones of mineral wool annually, while its recycling stays unacceptably ...

Presented work focuses on chemical and physical properties of plasma modified polymeric macro-fibers. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP) fibers having approx. 300 μm in diameter were modified using ...

Asphalt mixtures often fail due to a low adhesion of bituminous binder to mineral aggregate, which leads to surface coarse damages like potholes and fatigue cracking. To avoid this phenomenon, different types of adhesion ...

The article deals with the optimalization of composition for reinforced lightweight cement composite containing micronized recycled concrete, which will be used to produce masonry blocks. The composite material is reinforced ...
