Increasing the robustness of concrete

In the next version of DIN EN 197-1, additional standardized clinker-efficient cements will be added with CEM II/C-M and CEM VI. CEM II/C-M cements contain at least 50 M.-% clinker and CEM VI...

In order to reduce the CO2 footprint of cement it is necessary to decrease the clinker content significantly, i.e. well below 50?%. To probe into such systems, the use of alternative raw materials...

Concrete is the most widespread construction material of our times – about 12 billion m3 of concrete are produced worldwide each year. The manufacture of cement, as one of the raw materials of...

Structural concrete components with inclined and/or curved surfaces are becoming increasingly popular in contemporary architecture (Fig. 1). Such concrete structures have long been the state of the...

Many civil engineering structures consist of massive concrete elements. Special requirements are placed on the concrete used for these elements to ensure the duration of their effectiveness and...
