Nevertheless, the influence of the chemical composition of the aggregates (Table 1) on the water susceptibility of these systems has not been evaluated. Stablishing which oxides do or do not promote this phenomenon is key for objectively classifying aggregates based on their expected performance to this degradation phenomenon.
PCA revealed distinct variations in the chemical composition of OM in aggregate size fractions among the amendment treatments (Fig. S3). While the OM composition of unaggregated silt–clay fractions could be clearly separated by PC1 from those of macroaggregates and microaggregates, CB shifted the SOM structure mainly by PC2 …
The bulk chemical composition of the different grain size fractions is given in Table 3, expressed as oxides. ... Fe 2 O 3 and MgO, reflect either differences in original aggregate composition, such as the presence of (dolomitic) limestone in the aggregate, and/or relative amounts of binders present in the adhering cement paste ...
The results of tests on the chemical composition of aggregates are reflected in the tests on the affinity of asphalt to aggregates. This affinity is the highest in the case of alkaline rock–dolomite and amounts 60% to 70% (Table 5). The weakest, unsatisfactory affinity was obtained in the case of the aggregate with the highest silica content ...
The strength and adhesion properties are greatly influenced by mineralogical and chemical composition of aggregates. Aggregates selected for this research work were from 9 different regions based on geological classification & all of them belongs to igneous group; Granite (5), Basalt (2) and Dolerite (2).
The nature of aggregates has an important influence on the behaviour of concrete at high temperature. The aggregates used in concrete are classified into two categories: siliceous (S) and calcareous (C). Most publications and Eurocode 2 Part 1–2 underline concrete containing C aggregates have a better thermal resistance in comparison to concrete with S aggregate. …
This study examines how the chemical composition of ultramafic and mafic rocks effects their physicomechanical properties and therefore how influences the concrete strength of the produced concrete specimens. For this scope, ultramafic (Group I) and mafic rocks (Group II) derived from the Veria–Naousa and Edessa ophiolite complexes (Greece) were selected in …
Combined with our cutin marker not occurring in mineral soil compartments, potentially due to its chemical properties, our results support the notion that chemical composition governs interaction of SOM compounds, such as (leaf- and root-derived) lipids, with their environment (e.g., differently sized aggregates or the soil mineral phase) and ...
As such, determining the bulk chemical composition of the Bennu aggregates will help to test two mission hypothesis: "Bennu's bulk elemental composition reflects that of its main parent asteroid and is similar to the composition of the Sun, with depletions in moderately to highly volatile elements" and "Bennu's dominant lithologies ...
The impact of aggregate chemical composition on adhesion was also studied. Section snippets Materials. In this study, 60/80 penetration grade asphalt obtained from SK petrochemical (Korea) was used. The physical properties of the asphalt binder are listed in Table 1. Two kinds of aggregate including limestone and granite were evaluated in this ...
composition of aggregate affect the aggregate's interaction with water. The report also examines how these aggregate properties affect stripping. Although the report focuses mainly on aggregate surface parameters and general aggregate properties, the report also considers the chemical functionalities in both asphalt and aggregates that play a
The global market for construction aggregates is expected to increase 5.2% this year, and again next year, up to 48.3 billion tonnes [1].In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency [2] estimated that the generation of debris, from the construction, demolition, and renovation of residential and non-residential buildings in 2003, was close to 170 million …
The influence of aggregate chemical composition on concrete sulfuric acid resistance was investigated by some researchers. Chang et al. studied the sulfuric acid resistance of different concrete mixtures containing calcareous limestone aggregates and siliceous aggregates to a 1% sulfuric acid solution over 168 days. The results indicated that ...
The majority of FAM-related aging research used asphalt binders and mixture aging specifications. However, the practicality of employing these methods on FAM was not extensively examined. The rheological properties, chemical composition, and microstructure of aged binders extracted from FAM were extensively evaluated.
The underlying mechanisms of regulation of the chemical composition and dynamics of different SOM density fractions (DFs) in aggregates in a desert steppe by N and P supplementation are unclear. Here, the chemical composition and organic carbon (C) and N dynamics of various SOM DFs under N and P addition were assessed.
The chemical composition of the asphalt mixtures components (aggregate and asphalt binder) and the particulate matter produced during the road surface abrasion was identified. Finally, the sensitivity of asphalt mixtures to abrasion and chemical fingerprint of used aggregate and asphalt binder was revealed.
Based on testing technology of SEM/EDS, microcosmic interfacial transition zone structure of hydraulic concrete of different aggregates were studied, such as limestone, basalt and sandstone. The results showed that used different aggregates in concrete, there were differences in element distribution and variation along the designated path in interfacial transition zone, as …
