Influence of Supplementary Cementitious Materials on Chemical Shrinkage in CementBy Akash Gehlot, Pawan Kalla
Abstract: Chemical shrinkage is the volume reduction observed in cement during early hydration due to chemical reactions, which critically influences the internal stresses, cracking tendencies, and durability of cementitious system. Present study is focused on effect of supplementary cementitious material (SCM) on chemical shrinkage. Dilatometry method is used to assess the impacts of SCMs on chemical shrinkage, in this this study. The research incorporates experiments with laboratory-synthesized cement and three SCMs—fly …

A Review on Sustainable Utilization of Dimensional Stone Waste as Construction MaterialBy Akash Gehlot, Suresh Chand Bairwa, Pawan Patidar, Pawan Kalla
Abstract: The non-biodegradable nature of stone waste enhances the worldwide problem of disposal. A lack of land for waste landfills, increased transportation costs, and other related problems have compelled industries to look for alternative solutions. Depletion of natural resources has also been brought about by the construction industry's excessive use of resources like cement, river sand, and natural aggregates. As a result, the demand for sustainable and commercially feasible alternatives is …
