Chemical and physical investigations of historic mortars in St. John’s Church (Cesis, Latvia)
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)This paper deals with the stone material investigation of St. John’s Church, located in Cesis, the city in central region of Latvia. Following aspects were considered – chemical, physical and granulometrical characterization ... -
Mechanical properties of copper slag waste based CLSM mixtures
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)The article presents the results of investigations of the compressive strength of controlled low-strength materials (CLSM) prepared with the use of copper slag waste as a filler. Eighteen mixtures were made of which part ... -
Study of the influence of the secondary raw materials on microstructure and properties of calcium silicate composite
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)Calcium silicate composites are a widely used building material, especially autoclaved aerated concrete or sand-lime bricks. The physico-mechanical properties of these materials depend on their microstructure. Microstructure ... -
Long-term properties of foamed concrete
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)Foamed concrete has been used as a building material since the early 1920s. In the beginning, it was used as an insulation material with very low density. Since then there have been attempts to improve the structural ... -
Mechanical properties of solid glass bricks
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)Glass as one of the oldest building materials has been used for centuries to fill window openings. In recent years is it increasingly used also for load-bearing structural elements such as beams, columns, ribs, railings, ... -
Influence of activation of microsphere and latex base addition on mechanical properties of concrete
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)In a modern civil engineering, it is important to erection construction in extremely complicated and difficult environmental conditions. Additives and admixes to concrete enable to achieved higher mechanical properties of ... -
Wall blocks based on the aggregates from plant wastes
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)The article considers the possibility of using agricultural waste in the development of new building materials in the form of wall blocks. When selecting the compositions, the ideal fractions and ratios of straw to flax ... -
The workability kinetics of phosphogypsum binder
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)The dihydrate phosphogypsum (PG) based binder workability kinetics were investigated regarding to water-binder ratio (W/B) and chemical admixtures added to the composition of PG paste. PG was dried at 60 °C and homogenized ... -
The effect of glass powder on physical and mechanical properties of hardened cement paste
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)The article analyses the effect of finely crushed glass on the properties of hardened cement paste. Materials used for the test: Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, finely crushed glass (particle size ≤75 µm), and water. Seven ... -
Investigations on lightweight concrete prepared by combinations of rubber particles and expanded glass aggregate
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)Lightweight concrete is a very useful building material used in the construction sector for providing better insulation and lower energy consumption. Properties of lightweight aggregate, water-cement ratio, and other ... -
Evaluation of physical and mechanical properties of fired-clay bricks incorporating both mineral and organic wastes
(International Conference Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST 2019), 2019)The clay brick is one of the oldest building materials, and as the use of waste in the bricks can reduce clay consummation and the environmental burden due to the accumulation of waste, the present study was chosen, the ...
