THE EFFECT OF STEEL FIBER SIZE ON THE PROPERTIES OF FRESH AND HARDENED SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE INCORPORATING MARBLE POWDER

The effect of steel fiber size on the properties of fresh and hardened self-compacting concrete incorporating marble powder

The current study aims at highlighting the fresh and hardened characteristics of self-compacting concrete (SCC) incorporating marble powder and steel fibers at different sizes.Seven SCC mixtures were investigated with two different types of steel fibers were used in combination at different proportions, keeping the Day Cream total fiber content con

Convergences and divergences between two European mountain dung beetle assemblages (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea)

We analyzed the altitudinal change in dung beetle species richness and the relative proportion of higher taxa, as well as the turnover in the type of distribution and range size of species in two mountain chains located at the two extremes of Europe (Western Rhodopes Mountains and the Iberian Central System).Both mountain ranges showed a clear subs
