    • A study of metal-cement composites with additives 

      Mironovs, Viktors; Pundienė, Ina; Tatarinov, Alexey; Baroninsh, Janis (Construction science : scientific journal of RTU, 2014)
      The application of small-sized metal fillers (SMF) provides a combination of high bulk density, increased durability and ferromagnetic properties of composite materials on the cement basis. However, the total strength of ...
    • Determining reactivity level of granite aggregate for concrete 

      Rutkauskas, Aurimas; Nagrockienė, Džigita; Skripkiūnas, Gintautas; Barkauskas, Kęstutis (Construction science : scientific journal of RTU, 2017)
      Granite rubble is one of the most frequently used aggregates in concrete manufacturing. Granite rubble is considered to be a non-reactive aggregate, however, depending on the quarry, granite may have various impurities ...
    • Influence of biofuel combustion fly ash on the properties of concrete 

      Nagrockienė, Džigita; Daugėla, Aurelijus; Zarauskas, Laurynas; Skripkiūnas, Gintautas (Construction science : scientific journal of RTU, 2015)
      Cement as the binding agent in the production of concrete can be replaced with active mineral admixtures. Biofuel combustion fly ash is one of such admixtures. Materials used for the study: Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, ...
    • Influence of mineral additives on environmental resistance of concrete 

      Lebedeva, Ramunė; Skripkiūnas, Gintautas; Kičaitė, Asta (Construction science : scientific journal of RTU, 2016)
      Hydraulic concrete is a composite material that consists of coarse and fine aggregates and a binder, which transforms from liquid to solid state while curing and is exposed to destructive impacts during exploitation. The ...
    • The influence of commonly used plasticizing admixtures on the plasticizing effect of cement paste 

      Macijauskas, Mindaugas; Girskas, Giedrius (Construction science : scientific journal of RTU, 2017)
      The article aims to present a research into the impact of dosage and effectiveness of commonly used plasticizing admixtures. More specifically, it focuses on rheological properties of the cement pastes (yield stresses and ...
    • The mechanism of disintegration of cement concrete at high temperatures 

      Jocius, Vytautas; Skripkiūnas, Gintautas (Construction science : scientific journal of RTU, 2016)
      Concrete is a composite material composed of a binder, aggregates, water and additives. Mixing of cement with water results in a number of chemical reactions known as cement hydration. Heating of concrete results in ...
    • The use of steel cord scrap in concrete 

      Girskas, Giedrius; Nagrockienė, Džigita (Construction science : scientific journal of RTU, 2016)
      Materials used for the study: Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, 4/16 gravel, 0/4 sand. The fine aggregate in four concrete mixtures was substituted with steel cord scrap added at 1.5 %, 3.0 % and 4.5 %. Water absorption and ...
