Influence of Varied Waste Ceramic Fillers on the Re-Sistance of Concrete to Freeze–Thaw Cycles
Our research focused on the influence of fillers obtained from crushed waste materials on the selected properties of concrete composites. The used waste materials were sourced from the production of ceramic tiles, ceramic pots, and sanitary ceramics. We evaluated concretes modified with the addition...
