Mapping and synthesizing the viability of cement replacement materials via a systematic review and meta-analysis (2023)
Journal Article

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) are alternative to the conventional cement and have been studied by so many authors owing to the high carbon content of cement. The use of SCM is significant in addressing challenges of carbon emission and i...

Development of a Lytag-silica fume based lightweight concrete and corresponding design equation for pure bending (2023)
Journal Article

This study presents a novel Lytag-silica fume concrete (LSFC) for structural and other construction applications. The evaluation of compressive strength development and stress strain relationships of the LSFC light weight was carried out to determine...

Optimisation of embodied carbon and compressive strength in low carbon concrete (2022)
Journal Article

To improve the prediction of compressive strength and embodied carbon of low carbon concrete using a program algorithm developed in MATLAB, 84 datasets of concrete mix raw materials were used. The influence of water, silica fume and ground granular b... Read More about Optimisation of embodied carbon and compressive strength in low carbon concrete.

Modelling of quadratic-surface sludge digesters by smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) – Finite element (FE) methods (2020)
Journal Article

The quadric-surfaced sludge digester (QSD), also known as the egg-shaped sludge digester, has proven its advantages over traditional cylindrical digesters recently. A reduction in operational cost is the dominant factor. Its shell can be described as...

Corrugated bamboo as reinforcement in concrete (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, Thomas Telford Services Ltd. All rights reserved. This study investigated improving bamboo-concrete bond by increasing mechanical interlock. Pull-out tests were used to measure the bond between bamboo and concrete. Corrugated and non-corrugat... Read More about Corrugated bamboo as reinforcement in concrete.

State of the art of the use of bamboo sticks to replace steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Utilizing waste recycled glass as sand/cement replacement in concrete (2009)
Journal Article

The potential use of waste recycled glass in concrete as recycled glass sand (RGS) and pozzolanic glass powder (PGP) was examined in this study. No major difference was found in compressive strength of concrete with the presence of RGS as sand replac... Read More about Utilizing waste recycled glass as sand/cement replacement in concrete.

Using lithium nitrate and pozzolanic glass powder in concrete as ASR suppressors (2008)
Journal Article

This investigation studies the influence of two different mineral admixtures, lithium nitrate (Li) and pozzolanic glass powder (PGP) on the expansion induced by alkali-silica reaction (ASR). Four numbers of concrete prisms were produced for each conc... Read More about Using lithium nitrate and pozzolanic glass powder in concrete as ASR suppressors.

Properties of concrete contains mixed colour waste recycled glass as sand and cement replacement (2008)
Journal Article

Mixed colour waste recycled glass is waste material that cannot be reused in glass industry. Concrete can be considered as an outlet for the surplus quantities of the mixed colour waste recycled glass. This research work studies the feasibility of re...

Numerical simulation of shrinkage and creep in patch-repaired axially loaded reinforced concrete short columns (2001)
Journal Article

This paper presents numerical results obtained from finite element simulations of the time-dependent behaviour of moderately loaded patch-repaired reinforced concrete short columns. Patch repair is a structural concrete repair method in which damaged... Read More about Numerical simulation of shrinkage and creep in patch-repaired axially loaded reinforced concrete short columns.
