Abstract:Thermal storage concrete is prepared by using alkali-activated ground-granulated blast furnace slag as cementitious material. To improve thermal conductivity, graphite aggregate is used to replace part of the coarse aggregate, and, furthermore, polypropylene fiber is added to improve the heat resistance performance of the concrete. The compressive strength of concrete specimens before and after heating (up to 450 °C) was tested, and, furthermore, scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the structu… 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.
