We come across its use mostly in public space, being a natural space for concrete. When it comes to small-scale sculptures exhibited in art galleries, concrete is not found that often. Sculpture is a vastfield dominated from one hand by traditional materials such as bronze, stone, ceramics, but also open to spatial and material experiments. The articles presents a number of concrete use cases in the creative way: its method, the output, and the conclusions. The aim of the project was to depart from the typical architectural function of concrete and to present it as the flexible one that enables one to take advantage of its expressive features. As a result, a set of works called “The Silence of Forms” was created, which was fully or partially presented in some art exhibitions in the years 2019-2021.","PeriodicalId":55632,"journal":{"name":"Cement Wapno Beton","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83265663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, 60 concrete samples with dimensions of 15×15×15 cm and different contents of the mentioned materials were prepared. After the density was measured, the linear attenuation coefficients of the samples were measured by gamma radiation emitted from the cesium-137 source. The results showed that ferrophosphorus was the most effective factor in increasing the linear attenuation coefficient and the density of the concrete. After ferrophosphorus, steel and nanosilica powder – although much less than ferrophosphorus – increased the density and linear attenuation coefficient. The sample made of 100% ferrophosphorus aggregate and 20% steel powder without nanosilica powder had the highest density of 4395 kg/m3, and the sample made of 100% typical aggregate and 10% steel powder, without nanosilica powder, had the lowest density equal to 2269 kg/m3. The highest linear attenuation coefficient – 0.295 was related to the sample made of 100% ferrophosphorus, 30% steel powder, and 5% nanosilica powder. The lowest linear attenuation coefficient – 0.151 was related to the sample made of 8% nanosilica, without the ferrophosphorus and steel powder. The results indicated that the concrete density was directly correlated with the linear attenuation coefficient.","PeriodicalId":55632,"journal":{"name":"Cement Wapno Beton","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75767764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The last one will be the result of using raw materials containing calcium compounds other than carbonates and the use of alternative fuels containing biomass for the synthesis of clinker, the combustion of which is not included in the CO2 emission balance. Replacing one mass % of CaO in the raw mix as limestone, reduces the emission by 8 kg CO2 per Mg of clinker. The reduction of CO2 emissions was evaluated and confirmed by industrial production trial. Clinker was produced using raw materials containing carbide lime or limestone fly ash. The results of the trial showed, that the use of 2%÷5% of Bełchatów calcareous fl y ash in the composition of the raw mix, allows of reducing the emission by 4.0÷10.3 kg of CO2 per Mg of Portland clinker. The use of 2%÷5% of carbide lime in the composition of the raw mix leads to emission reduction by 9.5÷23.9 kg of CO2 per Mg of Portland clinker.

In this study, the usability of hazelnut shells, one of the important agricultural products of Turkey, which are post-harvest waste materials as a lightweight aggregate in concrete, was investigated. To this end, concrete was produced by replacing the aggregate with hazelnut shell by 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and 15%, and the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of this concrete, were examined. As a result of the study, it was determined that hazelnut shell, which is an agricultural waste, could be used as aggregate in the production of concrete and that lightweight concrete with sufficient strength and durability and improved heat and sound insulation could be produced, provided that the amount of hazelnut shell to be added to the mixture would not be more than 10% of the aggregate.","PeriodicalId":55632,"journal":{"name":"Cement Wapno Beton","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76912688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
