The effect of zeolite addition on parameters of concrete containing recycled ceramic aggregate

In the paper it was decided to recognize the material characteristics of concrete based on ceramic aggregate, aluminous cement with the addition of zeolite (5%, 10%, 15%) and air entraining admixture. Aggregate crushed to 2 fractions was used for designing the concrete mix : 0-4 mm, and 4-8 mm. The research involved the use of clinoptilolite derived from the zeolite tuff deposit at Sokyrnytsya (Transcarpathia, Ukraine). The dominant component in the zeolite is clinoptilolite in an amount of about 75%. The research carried out by the authors showed that the addition of zeolite, among others, increases the compressive strength of concrete, significantly improves the frost resistance, which in the case of using only aluminous cement is very low. The obtained results confirm the possibility of using the above-mentioned components, which improve the concrete material properties and are environmentally friendly.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

Abstract Due to a constant increase in generating the amount of sewage waste it is necessary to find an alternative method of its use or disposal. One of such methods can be utilization of sewage sludge in construction materials industry, particularly in concrete technology and other materials based on cement. It allows using waste materials as a passive additive (filler) or also as an active additive (replacement of part of bonding material). The article aims at presenting the analysis of the effect of adding slag, achieved from wastewater sludge incineration in sewage treatment plant, on properties and quality of concrete mix and hardened concrete. Using an experimental method, the researcher designed the composition of the control concrete mix, which was then modified by means of slag. For all concrete mixtures determined – air content with the use of pressure method and consistency measured by the use of concrete slump test. For all concrete series the following tests were conducted: compressive strength of concrete after 7, 28 and 56 days of maturing, frost resistance for 100 cycles of freezing and thawing, water absorption. The use of slag, ground once in the disintegrator, causes a decrease of in compressive strength of concrete samples in relation to the control concrete series as well as bigger decrease in compressive strength after frost resistance test.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

AbstractCement which is the main ingredient in making concrete contains non-renewable natural ingredients, potassium silicate. This causes an increase in cement prices every year. In overcoming these problems, there needs to be a modification in concrete mixes that are more environmentally friendly. Mixtures that are able to reduce the need for cement and contain potassium silicate such as charcoal are selected in modified concrete mix material by reviewing compressive strength. The purpose of this study was to determine how much influence the composition of charcoal as a substitute for cement in the preparation of concrete material was observed from compressive strength. The composition of the cement mixture will be replaced with charcoal by 0%, 5% and 10% with concrete compressive strength which is expected to have K200 quality. The research method uses an experimental method for sampling data. There are 3 (three) specimens in each percentage of addition of charcoal. The results of concrete compressive strength with a concrete age of 7 days, 22 days and 28 days under normal conditions without mixture are 31 Mpa, 35 Mpa, and 38 Mpa. The compressive strength of concrete mixed with charcoal as much as 5% is 30 Mpa, 31 Mpa, 36 Mpa. In 10% charcoal mixed concrete is 20 MPa, 27 MPa, and 29 MPa. The results of the compressive strength of the three conditions each showed a decrease in the trend of concrete age 7 days, 21 days and 28 days. Even though the trend has decreased, the compressive strength of the concrete produced still meets K200. This shows that charcoal ash can be used as an alternative to a partial replacement of cement in the concrete mixture for K200 concrete quality.

Recycling is one way that is used to minimize the amount of waste that exists. Recycling is also a process to reduce the use of new raw materials, reduce energy use, reduce pollution, land degradation and greenhouse gas emissions. Materials that can be recycled consist of waste of glass, plastic, paper, metal, textiles and electronic goods. Glass has characteristics suitable as concrete aggregates, considering that glass is a material that does not absorb water. In addition, glass has high abrasion resistance. Meanwhile, the waste glass flux lowers the temperature to the temperature at which the formers will melt. Stabilizers in glass waste are made of calcium carbonate, which makes the glass waste solid and water-resistant. This glass waste is recycled by mixing it into the concrete mix. The recycling method is done by pounding the glass and putting it into the concrete mix stage. The purpose of mixing the glass waste is expected to increase the compressive strength of concrete. The use of glass waste as a mixed material affects the compressive strength of the concrete. The concrete with the most inferior to highest compressive strength is 4% variation concrete, 2% variation concrete, and traditional concrete. Optimal percentage addition of glass waste impacts on maximum concrete compressive strength is 2% mixture variation which obtained 11,88 Mpa & 11,32 Mpa.

Concrete is a composite building material made from a combination of aggregate and cement. The limitation of concrete material, in this case, is a fine aggregate (river sand). The utilization of sea sand as an alternative to fine aggregate in the manufacture of concrete is motivated by the availability of sea sand in nature in very large quantities. This study aims to determine the comparison and how much the compressive strength of concrete produced when using sea sand. The test was carried out when the specimens were 7, 14, and 28 days old with the specimens used in this study were concrete cylinders with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm. The results showed that the use of sea sand as a substitute for fine aggregate showed an average compressive strength in 7 days of 18.86 MPa, an average compressive strength of 14 days of 25.52 MPa, an average compressive strength of 28 days of 29.00 MPa. Then for the average compressive strength value of the use of river sand in 7 days is 17.17 MPa, the average compressive strength of 14 days is 23.24 MPa, the average compressive strength of 28 days is 26.41 MPa.

The Impact

Purpose: Over the years, various experiments have been performed to investigate the impact of marble powder within the concrete mixture. In the present study, a review has been done to check the persistence of marble dirt as the substitute for concrete constituents. Design/methodology/approach: Furthermore, the impact of marble powder as a replacement of cement and aggregates were reviewed. By reviewing previous studies, the result indicates that the use of waste marble powder in cement and aggregate was adequate to a certain range. Findings: By replacing cement with marble powder in a range between 5% to 10% by weight, it increases the compressive strength of concrete mix by 11.30% to 24.56%, compared to the nominal mix. According to the study, any further increase in the amount of marble powder in place of cement i.e, 12.5% to 20% replacement by weight, results in the reduction of compressive strength of concrete mix by 7.5% to 26.01%. Replacement of aggregates from 5% to 75% with marble powder increases the compressive strength of about 3.22% to 23.91% as compared to the nominal mix. Research limitations/implications: It was also concluded from the current study that, to obtain higher compressive strength, it is advantageous to replace fine aggregates with marble powder than the replacement of cement with the marble powder.

Hidden Layer

An artificial neural network (ANN) model for predicting the compressive strength of concrete is established in this study. The Back Propagation (BP) network with one hidden layer is chosen as the structure of the ANN. The database of real concrete mix proportioning listed in earlier research by another author is used for training and testing the ANN. The proper number of neurons in the hidden layer is determined by checking the features of over-fitting while the synaptic weights and the thresholds are finalized by checking the features of over-training. After that, we use experimental data from other papers to verify and validate our ANN model. The final result of the synaptic weights and the thresholds in the ANN are all listed. Therefore, with them, and using the formulae expressed in this article, anyone can predict the compressive strength of concrete according to the mix proportioning on his/her own.
