This experimental study presents the properties of highperformance concrete (HPC) made by partially replacing type I Portland cement (OPC) with class C fly ash (CFA). The purpose of this study is to examine, with hydration time, the development of the compressive strength, the splitting tensile strength and the permeability of HPC utilizing different quantity of CFA. Four HPC mixtures, C1, C2, C3, and C4, were made by utilizing respectively 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of CFA as replacement of OPC, by weight. One control mixture, C0, was made with 0% CFA. The mix proportion of HPC was 1.00 binder: 1.67 fine aggregate: 2.15 coarse aggregate with water to binder ratio 0.32. In each mixture, it was added 5% silica fume and 0.6% superplasticizer of the weight of the binder. Tests of HPC properties were realized at the age of 1, 3, 7, 28, and 90 days. The results indicate that CFA used to partially replace OPC in HPC shows adequate cementitious and pozzolanic properties. The compressive strength and the splitting tensile strength of HPC increase while the permeability coefficient decreases with increasing hydration time. It is found that the optimum replacement of OPC with CFA is 10%, however the replacement up to 20% is still acceptable to produce HPC having practically similar harden properties with control mixture. At this optimum replacement and after 90 days of hydration, the compressive strength, the splitting tensile strength and the permeability coefficient can reach 68.9 MPa, 8.3 MPa and 4.6 E-11 cm/sec respectively. These results are 109%, 101%, and 48% respectively of those of control mixture.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity characteristics of high performance concrete. These tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of HPC for up to 7 and 28 days. Mixtures were prepared with water to binder ratio of 0.40. Two mixtures were containing fly ash at 25%, silica fume at 5% cement replacement, respectively. Another mixture was contains blast furnace slag and fly ash at 25%. Three standard 100¥a200 cylinder specimens were prepared. HPC showed improvement in the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength when ordinary Portland cement was replaced with silica fume. Compare with specimens FA25 and BS25FA25, specimen SF5 showed much more modulus of elasticity. It shows that the use of the blast furnace slag of 25% and fly ash of 25% cement replacement has caused a small increase in compressive strength and splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity compared to the only use of fly ash of 25% at 28days. The results indicated that the use of blast furnace slag or silica fume provided the good performance compare to fly ash when the mechanical properties of the high performance concretes were taken into account.

A great deal of experiments have been carried out in this study to reveal the effect of the water-binder ratio and fly ash content on the workability and strengths of GHPC (green high performance concrete). The workability of GHPC was evaluated by slump and slump flow. The strengths include compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The results indicate that the increase of water-binder ratio can improve the workability of GHPC, however the strengths of GHPC were decreased with the increase of water-binder ratio. When the fly ash content is lower than 40%, the increase in fly ash content has positive effect on workability of GHPC, while the workability begins to decrease after the fly ash content is more than 40%. The addition of fly ash in GHPC has adverse effect on the strengths, and there is a tendency of decrease in the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of GHPC with the increase of fly ash content.

Polymer resin grout can be used as bonding material for grouted sleeve connections This paper presents the experimental results on the effectiveness of fly ash as micro filler to the splitting tensile strength of polymer grout. In addition, the cement grout that is usually used as bonding material had been tested for comparison. Eleven proportions, of fly ash as the filler and polymer as binder, were tested with the binder to filler volume ratios of 1:1 and 1:1.5. The test results revealed that fly ash can be used as a micro-filler material to partially replace ordinary river sand in polymer resin grout. The splitting tensile strength of the polymer grout increases with the increase of fly ash contents. However, for higher level of fly ash of more than 22%, the splitting tensile strength deteriorated. For binder: filler ratio of 1:1, the optimum fly ash content of 22% gave the maximum splitting strength of 17.62 MPa, which can be considered acceptable for producing grout with high strength bonding material.

Copper slag is a rough blasting grit or a by-product acquired by the process of copper smelting and refining. These copper slags are recycled for copper recovery. In this paper, we analysed copper slag’s feasibility and evaluate its total competence in M25 grade concrete. In this observation, a concrete mixture is applied with copper slag as a fine aggregate ranging from 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% respectively. The strength of copper slag’s implementation is accomplished on the basis of concrete’s flexural strength, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. From the obtained results, in concrete 40% percentage of copper slag is used as sand replacement. On 28 days, the modulus of elasticity increased up to 32%, the compressive strength increased up to 34% and flexural strength is increased to 6.2%. From this experiment, it is proved technically that replacing sand using copper slag as a fine mixture in M25 grade concrete.

Large quantities of paper and wood waste are generated every day, the disposal of these waste products is a problem because it requires huge space for their disposal. The possibility of using these wastes can mitigate the environmental problems related to them. This study presents an investigation on the feasibility of inclusion of waste paper ash (WPA) or wood ash (WA) as replacement materials for fly ash (FA) class F in preparation geopolymer concrete (GC). The developed geopolymer concretes for this study were prepared at replacement ratios of FA by WPA or WA of 25, 50, 75 and 100% in addition to a control mix containing 100% of FA. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) are used as alkaline activators with 1M and 10M of sodium hydroxide solution.The geopolymer concretes have been evaluated with respect to the workability, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in the workability of the control GC mix and the developed GC mixes incorporating WPA or WA. Also, the results showed that, by incorporating of 25–50% PWA or 25% WA, the mechanical properties (compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength) of GC mixes slightly decreased. While replacement with 75–100% WPA or with 50–100% WA has reduced these mechanical properties of GC mixes. As a result, there is a feasibility of partial replacement of FA by up to 50% WPA or 25% WA in preparation of the geopolymer concrete.

The effects of the fly ash and of the sunflower stalks and corn cobs within a cement-matrix composite were studied under the aspects of density, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, elasticity modulus, and resistance to repeated freeze-thaw cycles. In the research were developed 20 recipes of cement-based composite, including the reference composite. Fly ash was used as partial cement replacement (10, 20 and 30% by volume), and the vegetal aggregates made by corn cobs and sunflower stalks as partial replacement of the mineral aggregates (25 and 50% by volume). The study results revealed that a lightweight composite can be obtained with 50% of vegetal aggregates, and the fly ash, no matter its percentage, enhanced the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of the compositions with 50% of sunflower aggregates and the freeze-thaw resistance of all compositions with sunflower stalks.

This experimental work evaluated geopolymer concrete containing fly ash and slag by partial replacement of natural coarse aggregate (NCA) with recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) to manufacture environmental-friendly concrete. The proportion of recycled aggregates considered consists of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% of the total coarse aggregate amount. Also, a steel fiber ratio of 0.3% was utilized. The mechanical properties and abrasion resistance of fly ash/slag-based geopolymer concrete were then assessed. Majorly, the mechanical strength of the concrete samples decreased by the increase of RCA content. The geopolymer concrete with 40% RCA gave 28.3% lesser compressive strength and 24% lower splitting tensile strength than NCA concrete at one year. Also, the flexural strength of concrete specimens was reduced by 35% (from 5.34MPa to 3.5MPa) with the incorporation of 40% RCA. The incorporation of 30% RCA caused 23% and 22.6% reduction in compressive strength at 56 days and one year, respectively. The flexural and splitting tensile strength of the specimens was not significantly reduced (less than 10%) with the inclusion of a recycled coarse aggregate ratio of up to 30%. Furthermore, the abrasion wear thickness of every concrete sample was less than 1mm. RCA inclusion of 20% produced either insignificant reduction or better strength results compared to reference mixtures. As a result, it was considered that the combination of 0.3% steel fiber and 20% recycled coarse aggregate in fly ash/slag-based geopolymer concrete leads to an eco-friendly concrete mix with acceptable short and long-term engineering properties that would lead to sustainability in concrete production and utilization sector.

The strength properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) using aggregates from repeatedly recycling concrete waste were studied. The relationships between cube compressive strength and splitting tensile strength and between each strength and replacement ratio of recycled aggregate to natural aggregate were established. The results showed that the strength properties of RAC with the design strength of 30MPa can be satisfied when the quality of recycled coarse and fine aggregates met respectively the needs of Grade II in GB/T25177-2010 and Grade III in GB/T25176-2010, with the replacement ratio to natural coarse aggregate and natural fine aggregate no more than 70% and 50%. Both strengths decreased and then increased for a while before descending again with increasing replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, and decreased continuously with the increase of replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. The relationship between cube compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of RAC was found to be exponential function.
