A review on the efficiency of different supplementary cementitious materials as a partial replacement for Portland cement in concrete by Taiwo, Ridwan A

“…Hence, this study presents a review of the effects of various SCMs on the mechanical and durability properties of concrete. Six SCMs are reviewed. These SCMs include fly ash, silica fume, which are industry by-products; metakaolin, limestone calcined clay, which are naturally occurring minerals; rice husk ash, which is an agricultural waste material; and limestone-fly ash, which is a combination of an industrial by-product and a naturally occurring material. …”

The Effect on the Durability Properties of Concrete of Partial Replacement of Natural Fine Aggregates with Recycled Concrete Fine Aggregates by Kahabi, Neema

“…However, the adoption of recycled fine aggregates has been a challenge due to properties such as higher water absorption and lower relative densities of the aggregates along with the variation of material sources which attributes to the lower durability performance of concrete made with recycled fine aggregates. …”

Evaluating the impact of ultraviolet light on chemical and mechanical properties of human scalp hair through controlled and natural experiments by Buthelezi, Ntandoyenkosi

“…Method: To analyse the influence of the radiation interaction with human hair, natural untreated, and UVA and UVB radiated black hair samples of low to high curl were compared. This study utilized thermogravimetric analysis and derivative thermogravimetry (TGA/DTG), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR- ATR) coupled with multivariate analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical tensile testing (MTT) techniques to obtain information on the chemical, and mechanical properties of the human hair. …”
