Compared with the river sand, manufactured sand’s particle type and gradation is relatively poor and the surface is mat .The manufactured sand also has a big effect on the workability of concrete. In this paper,the Equivalent powder paste’s volume of manufactured sand concrete was determined according to Mehta and Aitcin’s ideas for the preparation of HPC,at the same time,the equivalent powder paste volume is assumed as the cement paste volume in the experiment. The influence of polypropylene fiber on Manufactured sand concrete’s workability and Compressive strength were researched in the case of fixed powder paste .

Use of manufactured sand to replace natural sand is increasing in the last several decades. This study is devoted to the assessment of using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) together with Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) for enhancing the prediction accuracy of individual Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in predicting the compressive strength of manufactured sand concrete (MSC). The PCA technique was applied for reducing the noise in the input space, whereas, TLBO was employed to increase the prediction performance of single ANFIS model in searching the optimal weights of input parameters. A number of 289 configurations of MSC were used for the simulation, especially including the sand characteristics and the MSC long-term compressive strength. Using various validation criteria such as Correlation Coefficient (R), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE), the proposed method was validated and compared with several models, including individual ANFIS, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and existing empirical equations. The results showed that the proposed model exhibited great prediction capability compared with other models. Thus, it appeared as a robust alternative computing tool or an efficient soft computing technique for quick and accurate prediction of the MSC compressive strength.

The investigation concerns the use of the optimum mix proportion of two locally available pozzolanic waste materials, namely, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and palm oil fuel ash (POFA), together with metakaolin (MK) as binders. In addition, another local waste material, manufactured sand (M-sand), was used as a replacement for conventional sand in the development of green geopolymer mortar. Twenty-four mortar mixtures were designed with varying binder contents and alkaline activators. The oven dry curing was also kept consistent for all the mix proportions at a temperature of 65°C for 24 hours. The highest 28-day compressive strength of about 48 MPa was obtained for the mortar containing 20% of MK, 35% of GGBS, and 45% of POFA. The increment of MK beyond 20% leads to reduction of the compressive strength. The GGBS replacement beyond 35% also reduced the compressive strength. The entire specimen achieved average 80% of the 28-day strength at the age of 3 days. The density decreased with the increase of POFA percentage. The finding of this research by using the combination of MK, GGBS, and POFA as binders to wholly replace conventional ordinary Portland cement would lead to alternate eco-friendly geopolymer matrix.

Compared with natural sand, manufactured-sand is of small porosity, poor grain shape and graded, which impacts mixes workability and the properties after hardening. In Concrete, playing the role of retaining moisture water is mainly powder, including cement, powder in the sand and fly ash etc. The amount of powder has a great influence on the properties of concrete, especially on its workability. This paper mainly discusses the influence of amount of cement, cementitious materials, fly ash, water-cement ratio and other factors on the workability, compressive strength and shrinkage of concrete. The experiments show that, in the case of the low amount of cement, workability of the manufactured-sand concrete mixture, compressive strength and shrinkage deformation of test block all meet the actual requirements.

Different Content

This paper studies the influence on compressive strength, freezing resistance and microstructure of cement mortar with different content of mica in stone powder, in the tests, manufactured sand with high content of mica and natural river sand were mixed with different proportion, and the content of stone powder was the same in mixed sand. Experiment results indicate that, with the increasing of mica content in stone powder, 28d and 60d compressive strength of cement mortar decreases obvious, mass loss rate and strength loss rate with 50 freeze-thaw cycles increase a little. Microstructure of cement mortar with higher content of mica is not compactly by SEM, the internal defects of cement hardened pastes could be increased because of the flake mica which surface is smooth, and it will cause the spread of micro crack.

In this paper, influence of micro-fines on the manufactured sand and influence of manufactured sand containing micro-fines on concrete is studied. Using the MB value of manufactured sand to control the content of micro-fines in manufactured sand. The experimental results show that if MB value is less than 1.0, content of micro-fines is less than 15%, concrete keeps a high level of compressive strength ; both the content and property of micro-fines have a certain influence on the compressive strength of concrete; the fineness of micro-fines has influence on the early strength of concrete, but little influence on the later strength of concrete.
