The basic properties of the fly ash, recycled brick powder and recycled concrete powder, compared the recycled brick powder and recycled concrete powder instead of fly ash in concrete preparation, influence on the working performance and mechanical properties; and through the modifier to improve the concrete slump loss is too large, analyzes the mechanism of change influence of modifiers on mechanical properties of concrete. The results showed that the recycled brick powder and recycled concrete powder in certain fineness conditions, its performance with fly ash; retarder, activator and some surfactant composition modifier has obvious effect on the working performance and mechanical properties; and hydration calcium silicate aluminum increased the role of large the mechanical properties of concrete.

From decades it has been recognized that Geopolymer will considerably replace the role of cement in the construction industry. In general, Geopolymer exhibits the property of the peak compressive strength, minimal creep and shrinkage. In this current research paper, Geopolymer mortar is prepared by using GGBS and Fly ash. The mix proportions are of (100-60)%GGBS with Fly ash by 10% replacement. The alkali activators Na0H and Na2Sio3 are used in the study for two different molarities of 4&8. The ratio to Sodium silicates to sodium hydroxide is maintained from 1.5, 2, 2.5 & 3 were used. Mortars are prepared and studied the effect of molarities of alkali activators in their setting times and strengths

It takes on the technical and economic double benefits that fly ash taking the place of cement. However, water/binder of modern concrete is generally low; the research on the concrete performance which is based on large water/binder is no longer suitable for analysis of modern concrete. As to this problem, using different proportions of W/B and FA dosage as influencing factors, specimen is compounded for the compressive strength test. Then, mechanical properties of HPC are studied systematically. Based on this, macro-performance is analyzed from a micro-mechanism point of view through taking the electron micrograph. As the study shows, strength of HPC mixed with fly ash has low characteristics at early period while high ones at later period. At later hydration, fly ash effect plays a significant role, the growth rate of concrete strength increases as the increase of FA dosage. Compressive strength of concrete decreases as the increase of W/B and FA dosage. When the W/B is high, compressive strength is not sensitive to the change of W/B and FA dosage; but when the W/B decreases from 0.30 to 0.25, the concrete strength transition occurs. The influence of W/B on concrete compressive strength is more significant than that of the FA dosage; in the preparation of HPC, fly ash can be added more and cement is added less relatively by decreasing the W/B, displaying the role of micro-aggregate filling and modification, improving the strength and other performance of concrete. The study on micro-mechanism proves well the macro-phenomena above.

This study intends to evaluate high and low-strength concrete mixes made with high volume of fly ash (FA) and recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) from both a mechanical and economic point of view. For this purpose, the mechanical characteristics of concrete, namely compressive strength (fcm), splitting tensile strength (fctm), and modulus of elasticity (Ecm) were correlated with the cost of 1 m3 of concrete mixes, taking into account the most common scenarios (e.g., cost of the raw materials, transportation between supplier and concrete plant, and mixing procedure) in the centre of Portugal. The results show that the incorporation of FA and RCA are detrimental to the mechanical properties of concrete. Ecm is predominantly influenced by RCA, and “fcm” and “fctm” are mainly controlled by FA incorporation. However, after a given age, the rate of the strength development (fcm, fctm and Ecm) of RCA concrete containing FA significantly accelerates over time relative to the reference concrete (without FA and RCA) and to the mixes made with either RCA or FA. Furthermore, the cost of concrete does not significantly change by incorporating RCA. The use of superplasticizer (SP) significantly increases the cost of concrete. However, the higher cost of concrete due to the use of SP can be offset by replacing cement with FA. Regarding the optimization process, concrete mixes with the lowest cost may not necessarily be the optimum choice regarding cost efficiency. In fact, the mechanical properties of concrete also need to be considered to aid the decision on the optimal concrete mix. Finally, the results show that the optimum mixes in terms of cost and mechanical characteristics are mostly the ones made with simultaneous incorporation of RCA, FA, and SP, rather than with their individual incorporation.

The sustainability of engineering products has become a basic requirement instead of a mere choice because the harmony between economic activity and the earth’s ecosystem must be seriously considered. The influence of using three unprocessed waste powder materials as cement replacing materials (CRMs) and/or coarse recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a partial replacement of coarse natural aggregate (NA) on fresh and mechanical properties of self-compacting high-strength concrete (SCHSC) is investigated in this study. The activation index of the CRMs on the cement paste is tested as an initial step. The CRMs, namely, waste fly ash (WFA), waste perlite powder (WPP) and waste cellular concrete (WCC), are tested through 21 mixtures allocated by seven different series with three mixes of each. The mechanical properties of the 21 concrete mixes are determined after one, three and nine months of curing. Results of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity are presented. This work shows that the mechanical and environmental performance of SCHSC can be improved by the replacement of NA by RCA of up to 50% and the replacement of cement by WPP or WFA of up to 15%. Using WCC is not recommended to be reached 15% and using WFA is preferable to be with incorporating RCA rather than NA alone. Findings indicate that incorporating waste materials can be valuable in SCHSC, thereby potentially leading to an increasingly green environment and paving the way for advancements in sustainable construction.

This research aims to investigate mechanical properties of aluminum matrix composites reinforced with fly ash (AMC/Fly ash) produced using hot extrusion.AMC/Fly ash was prepared from aluminum fine powder as matrix and fly ash as reinforcement. The various amount of fly ash of 5%; 7.5%; 10%; 12.5% and 15% wt were added to the aluminum fine powder. Each composition was mixed using rotary mixer for 3 hours. The mixture was compacted using uniaxial pressing with a pressure of 100 MPa to produce green body. The green body was hot extruded with an extrusion ratio of 0.25 and temperature of 600ºC. Bending strength, Vickers hardness, wear rate and porosity of the AMC/fly ash were measured. The microstructure was observed using SEM. The results show that mechanical properties of the composites such as bending strength and Vickers hardness increase, porosity and wear rate decrease with increasing fly ash content up to 12.5 wt %. Above 12.5 wt % of fly ash those mechanical properties of composites seems to be inverse. The properties of AMC/12.5 wt % fly ash produced using hot extrusion from green body showing the best properties in term of the bending strength, Vickers hardness, porosity and wear resistance, that are 302 MPa; 79 VHN; 0.73 % and 0,0095 mg/(MPa.m), respectively.
