Determining the shear strength properties of the soil is a vital step in investigation its stress-strain behavior. Moreover, suction plays a vital role in the shear strength of the unsaturated soil. This paper investigates the influence of the fiber glass on the shear strength parameters of (c-ɸ) soil with different ratios. To achieve this purpose, the samples of (c- ɸ) soil from El-Fardos gardens housing compound, Benha city, Egypt, were prepared at their maximum dry densities with corresponding optimum moisture content. Direct shear box test of 60 x 60 mm under a relentless rate of 1 mm/min was employed with the proposed range of ASTM D 3080. Different fiber glass ratios of 0.1, 0.50 and 1.00 % of soil sample weight were used. The results confirmed that the peak shear strength parameters increased with increasing the fiber ratio.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study to determine the stress–strain behaviour of fragmented Queenston Shale from Russell, Ontario and to investigate how its strength properties altered when the material was subjected to repeated slaking cycles. Slaking tests showed that large (cobble-size) blocks of the material degrade rapidly to a particle size of 20 mm upon exposure to water and air. Consolidated drained tests in a large triaxial apparatus under monotonic loading conditions on specimens of fresh and slaked material were performed. They indicate that the shear strength of fragmented Queenston Shale of particle size smaller than 20 mm is not affected by slaking. Key words: Queenston Shale, compaction shale, granular material, rockfill, slaking, shear strength, consolidated drained tests.

Abstract: Used or Waste Foundry Sand can be utilized as an alternative for fine aggregate in conventional concrete. WFS or UFS can be used in large volume by partially replacing sand in construction industries. Here the strength properties of M25 and M60 grade concrete replaced by WFS by 0,10,20,30,40 and 50 percent w/w of fine aggregate is evaluated by measuring compression, split tensile and flexural strength at 7 days and 14 days.

Soil Mixing

The mechanical behaviors of a cohesive soil mixing with gravel were investigated in consolidated-drained triaxial tests. Three soils with different percentages of gravel mixed with the cohesive soil, i.e. 50%, 75% and 87.5%, were tested, and the inference of gravel percentage to the stress-strain behavior is investigated. The results indicate that the shear strength of the soil increases with the increase of gravel percentage. Compared to peak strength of GP50, that of GP75 and GP87.5 increases by 14.4%~32.8% and 20.9%~40.5%. The initial and secant Young’s modulus of the soil increases significantly when the gravel percentage is greater than 75%.

The management of solid industrial waste is of big global concern nowadays. The majority of industries are not interested in the treatment and safe disposal of industrial waste due to its high cost involvements, causing environmental and other ecological impacts. The disposal of waste foundry sand is of prime importance due to the big volume produced from the metal casting industries all over the world as well as the waste bottom ash produced from the thermal power plant. The possibility of substituting natural fine aggregate with industrial by-products such as bottom ash and foundry sand offers technical, economic and environmental advantages which are of greater importance in the present context of sustainability in construction sector. Concrete is the most important engineering material and the addition of some other material may change the properties of concrete. Studies have been carried out to investigate the possibility of utilizing the board range of material as partial replacement material for cement and aggregate in the production of concrete. Natural fine aggregate are becoming scarcity because of its huge utility in various constitution process the possibility of substituting natural fine aggregate with industrial by product such as waste foundry sand and bottom ash in concrete. This study investigate the effect of waste of bottom ash and foundry sand is equal quantities as partial replacement of fine aggregate in 0%, 20%, 30%, 40% on concrete properties such as compression strength and split tensile strength. This study also aims to encourage industries to start commercial production of concrete products using waste bottom ash and foundry sand.

Purpose Waste foundry sand (WFS) is a by-product of the metal casting industries and is used for land filling purposes. Disposing of waste creates problems to environment and increases disposal values. To reduce environmental pollutions and solving disposal problems, several authors in worldwide are carried out research work by partial and complete replacing of natural sand with WFS in concrete mixtures. It is found that WFS can be used for production of structural grade concrete. The mechanical characteristics and flexural properties of RC beams has been reviewed in this paper. From this literature review, it has been noticed that there are improvements in concrete strength properties with WFS. Design/methodology/approach The results of various properties of concrete have been discussed in this review articles such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, SEM micro-structures and flexural strength properties of RC beams. Findings From the literature review, it is found that there is gap of research on flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beam with WFS. Originality/value By using WFS effectively, the environmental pollutions and dumping of waste can be reduced. WFS can be successfully used in structural concrete members.
