Cement is a mineral hydraulic binder which is formed by sintering (heat treatment) primary minerals of cement clinker at a sintering temperature. In the cement composite only cement releases heat by reaction with water, and image about the amount of heat or about temperature of solid concrete is obtained by determination of the heat of hydration of...

In this paper the effect of two different fly ash types on the properties of self-compacting concrete in fresh state and hardened state was investigated: fly ash from Thermal power plant “Kakanj” and fly ash from Thermal power plant “Tuzla”. The results of testing fresh self-compacting concrete properties show that addition ...

Because of the oil shortage and the growing increasing environmental burdens-emission from motor vehicles, the idea of the biofuels application has been actualized. The European Union directive 2003/30/EC obliged Member States that until 31 December 2005, they must provide at least 2% share of biofuels and other renewable fuels in the total amount ...

Water that is commonly used for drinking is groundwater, that appears on the surface of the Earth's crust as sources of different types and capacities, and in most cases that water is chemical, physical and bacteriological acceptable and suitable for use. In some cases, there is some blurring of water, that is the result of heavy rainfall or some h...

The main characteristic of hydrotechnical cement, which is used to build massive structures, is the low heat of hydration. In this work is examined the effect of the electrofilter ash with a high content of calcium oxide addition on the hydration heat of Portland cement. The cement samples containing 0% to 50 % fly ash from TPP „Kakanj“...

Today there is a growing research activity in order to investigate the possibility of using various waste or alternative materials in the cement and other industries. In this regard, granulated blast furnace slag is a significant addition to the metallurgical cement type CEM III. Cements based on blast furnace slag consist of a mixture of cement cl...
