Investigation on Mechanical Properties of Geo Polymer Concrete With Fly Ash and Steel Fibers
Abstract: The goal of this project was to manufacture fly ash-based geopolymer concrete (FAC), a more environmentally friendly substitute for conventional Portland cement concrete (OPC) by using fly ash (FA) in place of cement. The study discovered that the properties of FAC were comparable to those of OPC, and that the concrete's performance was greatly impacted by the geopolymer's polymeric nature. The geopolymerization process was started with an alkaline solution, and …

Analysis and Design of Cantilevered Steel False Work Systems Subjected to Earthquake Loads
Abstract: Construction of buildings with non-typical floors has been always problematic in extending the false work all over the height to support non-regular cantilevered slabs extending from upper floors. Cantilevered frames supporting formwork systems with no need for extending the false work along the height of the building have been recently designed in previous studies. However, the need to design such cantilevers in order to withstand dynamic loads has emerged. Within …
