Influence of mix design parameters on restrained shrinkage cracking in non-structural concrete patch repair mortars by Arito, Philemon

“…The problem is further compounded by the fact that the existing code of practice for concrete repair - the EN 1504-3:2005 - specifies many material properties such as chloride ion content, compressive strength, bond strength, skid resistance and capillary absorption. …”

Alkali-Aggregate reaction in Western Cape concrete by Mahomed, Zubair Lall

“…The second stage of the project dealt with the influence of ASR gel formation on compressive strength. Compressive strength tests were performed on 2 sets of cubes for each mix, which were exposed to different curing conditions, namely a water bath at 22-25 ̊C and an alkaline solution of 1M NaOH at 80 ̊C. …”

An investigation into using rammed stone columns for the improvement of a South African silty clay by Sobhee-Beetul, Laxmee

“…A testing programme was established whereby the majority of the tests were conducted on the local clay, with a few performed on Kaolin for comparison purposes. The effect of moisture content (OMC, LL and 1.2LL) of the base soil specimen, the column diameter (50 mm, 70 mm and 100 mm) and the column material (Klipheuwel sand, Cape Flats sand and crushed aggregate) on the normal compressive stress applied up to a settlement of 50 mm were studied. …”

Powder packing optimisation for clinker reduction in concrete by Holmes, Matthew

“…However, binder efficiency indices (‘bi’) (between 5.3 and 6.9 kg/m3 /MPa) were reduced relative to data from previous investigations with similar strength class (between 10 to 20 kg/m3 /MPa), inferring increased binder performance. Powder packing optimisation thereby has the potential to enable clinker reduction, particularly for lower strength grade concrete, without adversely affecting compressive strength. …”

The effectiveness of a percussion drill method for making concrete cube samples to assess the characteristics of precast zero-slump concrete by Du Plessis, Pieter

“…The lower strength performance of 30% and 40% replacement rate was related to the fact that quartz flour is inert, which reduces compressive strength with further cement reduction. …”
