Self-compacting concrete (SCC) contains fine mineral fillers such as limestone powder. The idea of this study was to partially replace limestone with waste sulfur since it is hydrophobic, insoluble in water and therefore chemically inert and to compare the properties of produced concrete samples. Fresh concrete proper­ties included: slump-flow, t500, V-funnel time, L-box ratio, segregation ratio, density, and entrained air content. Hardened concrete was tested for compressive, flexural and bond strengths, ultrasonic velocity, dynamic elas­ticity modulus, dynamic Poisson’s ratio, and microstructure. Flowability and segregation increased, while bulk density, compressive and flexural strength, dynamic elasticity modulus and ultrasonic velocity slight declined. Times t500 and V-funnel time, L-box ratio and entrained air changed insignificantly. Considering that all proper­ties should remain or improve in case of waste valorization and the criteria should set to satisfy requirements for SCC, this study proved that all mixtures can be used for structural applications.

In order to solve the environment pollution of limestone powder during production of limestone manufactured sand and gravel and problem of lack of high quality fly ash or slag powder in ocean engineering, ultra-fine limestone powder was selected for preparation of green high-performance marine concrete containing fly ash and limestone powder and that containing slag powder and limestone powder for tests on workability, mechanical performance, thermal performance, shrinkage, and resistance to cracking and chloride ion permeability. And comparison was made between such green high-performance concrete and conventional marine concrete containing fly ash and slag powder. Moreover, the mechanism of green high-performance marine concrete was preliminary studied. Results showed that ultra-fine limestone powder with average particle size around 10μm had significant water reducing function and could improve early strength of concrete. C50 high-performance marine concrete prepared with 30% fly ash and 20% limestone powder or with 30% slag powder and 30% limestone powder required water less than 130kg/m3, and showed excellent workability with 28d compressive strength above 60MPa, 56d dry shrinkage rate below 300με, cracking resistance of grade V, 56d chloride ion diffusion coefficient not exceeding 2.5×10-12m2/s. Mechanical performance and resistance to chloride ion permeability of limestone powder marine concrete were quite equivalent to those of conventional marine concrete. But it had better workability, volume stability and cracking resistance. Moreover, it can serve as a solution to the lack of high quality fly ash and slag powder.

In this paper, influence of heat treatment on evolution of mechanical strengths at early age, less than 24hours of self-compacting concretes containing limestone powder and silica fume as fine materials was investigated experimentally. Two compositions of self-compacting concrete have been studied; the first is elaborated with silica fume addition and the second with limestone powder, each mixture were prepared with a constant water/binder ratio of 0.39. Concrete samples were either cured in water at (23±1°C), or steam cured at 65°C maximum temperature over six hours (6h) curing period. Tests of mechanical strengths were performed on specimens cooled down slowly to room temperature after heating.The obtained results show that all self-compacting mixtures exhibited satisfying fresh properties and check EFNARC specifications of self-compacting concrete (slump flow diameter higher than 650mm, L-box ratio higher than 80% and sieve stability less than 17%).Mechanical strengths of concrete containing limestone addition are slightly lower than those of concrete based on silica fume at all ages. Moreover, heat treatment generates an improvement of compressive and flexural strength. Interesting compressive strengths are obtained. At 24 hours, after heat treatment, the strengths are already greater than 35 MPa. The values ​​are 37 MPa and 40 MPa for self-compacting concrete containing limestone powder and silica fume respectively compared to 40 MPa and 46 MPa obtained at 7 days for the corresponding non-heat treated concretes. Compressive strength gain of SCCs mixtures with limestone powder and with silica fume, undergoing heat treatment at the age of 24hours is 85% and 75% respectively compared to SCCs mixtures cured in water.

Partial Cement Replacement

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative construction material in the construction industry. It is a highly fluid and stable concrete that flows under its own weight and fills completely the formwork. The SCC requires high powder content (mainly of cement) up to 600kg/ to achieve its properties. This will be problematic because increasing the cement content is not feasible, and may cause high cost and some other technical problems such as higher heat of hydration and higher drying shrinkage. This paper investigates the effect of limestone powder (LSP) on fresh and hardened properties of SCC due to the use of LSP as a partial cement replacement. For comparison, a control sample of concrete was prepared without LSP to compare it with the various samples containing different percentages of LSP as a partial replacement of cement. Four mixes with a constant amount of (superplasticizer, sand, coarse aggregate, and water) at various replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% from the cement weight were prepared. The experimental results show that the LSP can be effectively used as a partial cement replacement on SCC to reduced cost and enhanced the performance of SCC in fresh and hardened stages.
