Kamat, Ameya (author), Lubelli, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This paper investigates the leaching behaviour of sodium ferrocyanide, a known crystallisation inhibitor of sodium chloride, which is added to mortars for mitigation of salt decay. Leaching and depletion of the inhibitor is a practical performance related issue that might over time, make the inhibitor less effective against salt decay. In...journal article 2023

Nedeljković, Marija (author), Kamat, Ameya (author), Holthuizen, Patrick (author), Tošić, Nikola (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Fennis, Sonja (author)This paper presents the measurement and analysis of energy consumption of a laboratory jaw crusher during concrete recycling. A method was developed to estimate the power requirements of a lab-scale jaw crusher. The impact of material properties on the crusher performance is studied. Eight concrete strength classes (C20/25–C80/95) were...journal article 2023

Kamat, Ameya (author), Lubelli, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Porous building materials are often subjected to damage due to salt crystallization. In recent years, the addition of crystallization inhibitors in lime-based mortar, has shown promising results in improving durability of this material against salt decay. Lime-based mortars have low mechanical properties and slow setting. They are often replaced...journal article 2022
