      <title>OBTAINING HIGH STRENGTH POROUS AGGREGATES FOR CONCRETE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/159378</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Following a brief explanation of the low strengths obtained for expanded clays, the authors describe a heating technique at 1450 or even 1500 deg C, with fusion of the raw clay, followed by rapid freezing causing re-crystallization. After pulverising, the addition of additives and humidification the material is granulated, then expanded between 1000 and 1100 deg C in a rotary furnace or a fluidified bed.  The process is still experimental. (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>POROUS AGGREGATES CONTAINING DIATOMITES FOR LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/153883</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article presents the results of studies of the preparation of porous aggregates containing diatomites. Diatomites are classified and the manufacturing process and test results are described.  The aggregates obtained have a bulk density lower than 1000 kg per cubic metre for a strength comprised between 5 and 10 mpa.  The corresponding concrete has a strength comprised between 30 and 50 mpa at 28 days. (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>STUDY OF THE HOMOGENEITY OF PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF KERAMZITE AGGREGATES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/154576</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The author presents a study of the statistical, experimental and theoretical laws of distribution which the productions at four plants obey.  The study involves the volumetric weight, the compression strength of the aggregate, the modulus of deformation and the dynamic elastic modulus. The aim of the study is to make it possible to elaborate structural and mathematical models of concrete to predict, by probabilistic processes, the deformation and strength properties.

      <description><![CDATA[The author gives the results of a study carried out on concrete containing limestone or siliceous sand, ground or crushed.  The resistance to sulphate increases with limestone sand, when a cement with a low or medium aluminate content is used in a medium containing 10000 and 400 mg of sulphate ions per litre.  /TRRL/]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This article describes the results of tests on six products for joint sealing, which were manufactured in the USSR. Some of the products are hardening, some non-hardening. A study was made of their adhesion to steel and aluminium, their mechanical strength, deformability, compressibility and water absorption as a function of the temperature and climatic conditions. /TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>ADMIXTURES FOR MORTAR AND CONCRETE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/53383</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The admixture studied is whey, a by-product of the dairy industry.  It consists of approximately 6% of dry extract (fat, lactose, albumen).  It can be used as a retarder and increases the workability, thus leading to a saving of at least 5% cement. /TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>INCREASING THE DURABILITY OF CONCRETE BY MEANS OF ALUMINUM-METHYL-SODIUM SILICATE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/67413</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The results presented demonstrate that the addition of a plasticizer (in an aqueous solution containing 33% of dry material), at the rate of 0.1 to 0.3% by weight of cement permits a reduction in the proportion of cement and of water (up to 10%), an improvement in workability, without strength of 10 to 90% with or without steam-curing.  An explanation is given of the action of the plasticizer (water repellant, non-air entraining).  /TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>HIGHLY ACTIVE BINDER CONTAINING FINELY GROUND GRANULATED BLAST-FURNACE SLAG</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/26012</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Details are given of a manufacturing process for highly active binders containing finely ground granulated blast- furnace slag.  It was shown that the activation of slag with soluble chemical products added to the mixing water increases the strength of hardened cement paste from 15 to 30 percent compared to the activation obtained with calcined products added during the crushing of the slag.  The admixtures listed,  except sulphate, nitrite and potassium nitrate, increase the binder strength and hardening temperature from 100 to 170 degrees C.  This process which utilizes soluble chemical products derived from the by- products of the chemical industry is more economical than other processes.  /IRRD/]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The author reviews the uses of silicate concrete in the construction industry, discusses its manufacturing processes, and outlines its advantages: low bulk density, insulating property.  It can contain, as well as lime and sand, by-products such as clinker and ash, the use of which permits to reduce the cement content.  Technological developments in the manufacture of silicate concrete are mentioned together with its economic advantages.]]></description>

      <title>USSR AND FOREIGN SPECIFICATIONS CONCERNING THE QUALITY OF CRUSHED MATERIALS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/25890</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A comparison is made between specifications concerning the quality of aggregates for concrete and bituminous mixtures currently in force in the USSR, Great Britain, France, Belgium, West Germany the USA, Austra and India.  These specifications are also compared with the results of tests on various crushed and sieved materials.  According to the authors this comparison shows the excessive rigidity of USSR specifications as regards requirements concerning the shapes of the grains and grading distribution.]]></description>
