Abstract:This research studied the effect of nickel-based cement substitution in concrete to analyze its behavior. The percentage of substituted nickel-slag was 10%, 20% and 30% to the cement weight. The mechanical properties studied were the compression f'c and tensile fMR stresses at the ages of 14, 28, 42 and 56 days. The data were analyzed and the visual observation of the fractured plans were addressed to determine the failure modes. The research concluded that the nickel-slag cement reduced both the compressive a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
