CHARACTERIZATION OF NEW TYPES OF REFRACTORY
CONCRETES: PROPERTIES AND PERFORMANCES 
Monograph
Authors: Anja Terzic, Ljubica Pavlovic, Zagorka Acimovic Pavlovic
Publisher: Association of Metallurgical Engineers of Serbia
mailto:info@metalurgija.org.rs

The monograph entitled "Characterization of new types of refractory concretes: properties and performances" is concerned with investigation of influence of microstructure on properties of new types of refractory concretes. Refractory concretes were designed on basis of following components: synthetic aggregates-corundum and bauxite, high-aluminate cement and admixtures.
Main goal of the investigation was to establish the correlation between microstructure and the most important concrete properties such are: physical, mechanical, thermomechanical properties and parameters of sintering process. Reason for such investigation was the lack of data in accesible literature that are concerned with theme of effect which microstructure has on corundum and bauxite based refractory concretes".
