Formulation and characterization of structural lightweight concrete containing residues of porcelain tile polishing, tire rubber and limestone
Abstract The recent increase in the construction industry has transformed concrete into an ideal choice to recycle a number of residues formerly discarded into the environment. Among various products, porcelain tile polishing, limestone and tire rubber residues are potential candidates to replace th...
