Globally, coal mining wastes (CMWs) are associated with significant environmental and economic costs. Processing CMW into an ingredient of concrete is a promising solution but the behaviour of this particular construction material has not been sufficiently evaluated, especially during the initial period of cement hydration.
Keywords Copper mine tailing · Concrete · Waste material · Mechanical properties · Durability Introduction Million tons of cement is consumed annually by the con-struction industry, around the world. However, the manu-facturing process of cement is not only energy intensive, but also leads to substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Available evidence in the literature indicates that cement-based S/S has been a successful technique for mitigating the environmental toxicity of mine wastes. Hence, the utilization of MTs as a partial substitute for cement or aggregates in structural cement composites is a welcomed development with positive environmental implications.
While each cement plant may differ in layout, equipment, and appearance, the general process of manufacturing portland cement is the same: crushed limestone and sand are mixed with ground clay, shale, iron ore, fly ash and alternative raw materials. Some manufacturers grind the raw materials dry, while others use a wet-grinding process ...

Explore the transformation of rock into concrete as we break down the cement-making process, from mining to final production.
To this end, this study proposed a data-mining framework that integrates a three-dimensional (3D) random aggregate method and the finite-element (FE) method for mesoscopic simulation of asphalt concrete. This framework mainly consists of two stages.
This paper aims to identify the optimal reinforced concrete bridge construction for regions at risk of mining-induced seismic shocks. This study compares the performances of two common bridge types made of the same structural tissue, i.e., a reinforced concrete beam bridge and rigid-frame bridge under real mining-induced …
At present, these cement-based materials are commonly produced with ordinary Portland cement (OPC). In Canada, the mining industry consumes about 1.4 million tonnes of cement annually [1], resulting in at least 1.2 million tonnes of CO 2 every year [2]. This significant environmental impact from OPC poses a challenge to the …
