Concrete is produced increasingly worldwide and accounting 10-20% emission of carbon dioxide. The potential long term opposing cost of environmental effects need to recognize. Residue of coal combustion ashes especially bottom ash will use to develop reuse application. This study focused on compressive strength of several composition of bottom ash as cement replacement in mortar. Curing of cement mortar techniques and duration also plays an important role and effects on the strength. The objective of this research is to examine the compressive strength of bottom ash in Portland cement under various compositions and fineness of bottom ash.

The aim of this article – to determine short term and long term strengthening of clay soil, by strengthening it with fly ash obtained during the production of mineral wool. This article introduces research which is used to determine the optimal ratio of fly ash in cement suspension for strengthening of clay soil. Samples which were investigated in this research work prepared by mixing Portland cement, mineral wool fly ash, clay powder, sand and water. All investigated samples compressive strength after 6 months exceeded 1.7 MPa. It is enough of such strength in geotechnics to conduct strengthening of soil and it is possible to argue that soil is strengthened.

In order to shorten construction periods, concrete is often cured using steam and is loaded at an early age. This changes the performance and even the durability of the concrete compared to concrete that has been cured under normal conditions. Thus, the pattern and the mechanism of concrete performance change under different curing conditions, and loading ages are of great significance. The development of brittleness under different curing conditions and loading ages was studied. The evaluation methods that were used to determine concrete brittleness were expounded. Steam, standard, and natural curing conditions were carried out on single-side notched concrete beams as well as on a concrete prism and cubic blocks. The compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of the concrete blocks along with the fracture performance of the concrete beams were tested after 3, 7, 28, and 90 days. The steam curing condition significantly improved the strength of concrete before 28 days had passed, and the standard curing condition improved the strength of concrete after 28 days. Based on the experimental fracture parameters, a two-parameter fracture model was applied to study the development of fracture toughness KICS, critical crack tip opening displacement CTODc, and critical strain energy release rate GICS with hydration age under different curing conditions. With respect to long-term performance, the standard curing condition was better at resisting concrete crack propagations than the steam curing condition was. The characteristic length lch and the material length Q under the three curing conditions and the long-term development of brittleness in the concrete indicated that steam curing increased the concrete brittleness. Considering the effects of the curing condition and the loading age, a time-dependent concrete fracture toughness model was established, and the predicted value of the model was verified against the measured value. The results indicated that the model was able to accurately predict the fracture toughness with an error rate of less than 16%.

Design concrete mix used in the PHC pile production, silica sand powder and slag powder as a concrete admixture, replace a certain percentage of Portland cement, under the premise of meeting the PHC pile production requirements. After the steam curing, determinate the demould strength of concrete and after autoclave curing, determinatie the compressive strength of concrete. Test results show that it is feasible for the use of silica sand powder and slag powder instead of Portland cement , in which the proportion of concrete admixtures up to 45%. Silica powder and the amount of slag powder were mixed with 150 kg/m3, 50 kg/m3, the concrete demould strength up to 49.1 MPa and the compressive strength after autoclave up to 89.0MPa, to achieve requirements of the national standard GB13476 .

The plug and Abandonment (P&A) are the final stage of the life cycle of an oil well. This implies that the plugging material must withstand the chemicals, temperature and well pressure to ensure its long-term integrity. Portland cement is the most used material as a safety barrier in P&A operations. However, the extreme conditions of the well have challenged the mechanical properties of Portland Cement. In this context, the present work aims to identify the adequate systems as permanent plugging material and to characterize them with a qualification process based on international references and experimental validation. Hence, four systems were tested for plug cementing operation with composition variations under pre-defined ageing conditions. Class G Portland cement slurry was used as reference to allow comparison of mechanical properties (compressive strength and tensile strength) between flexible cement paste, a system containing a mixture of Class G Portland Cement with epoxy resin and finally a system with epoxy resin only. Samples containing Class G Portland Cement were cured for 14 days under well bottom conditions (3000 psi and temperature of 174 degrees Fahrenheit) and cured for 14 days at well temperature (using a thermal bath). Samples containing resin were cured for 14 days under well bottom conditions (3000 psi and temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit) and cured for 14 days at well temperature (using a thermal bath). Finally, the samples were aged for 60 days in a thermal bath at well temperature and exposed to the brine which is the completion fluid composition which will be above and below in contact with the well barrier in a P & A operation. The results of the compressive strength tests of the samples aged in brine showed tha in some systems tested the reduction of the modulus of elasticity occurred, however, it was also observed the increase of the modulus of elasticity in another system. The same was true of the results of tensile strength tests of aged samples, the increase of rupture loading in some systems and reduction in the other ones were observed. The mechanical tests of the samples before and after ageing were performed to define the best system to be used in a well abandonment operation aiming for long-term integrity.

Geopolymer has been gradually attracting world attention as a potentially revolutionary material that is one of the ideal substitutes of Portland cement, and fundamental studies on geopolymer are increased rapidly because of its potential commercial applications. However, little work has been done in the field of curing system of geopolymer. In this paper, influence of curing temperature, curing time and curing humidity on the mechanical properties of slag-based geopolymer was studied by using the compressive strength as benchmark parameter. Results have shown that the early age compressive strength of geopolymer increased and the long-term compressive strength decreased at first and then increased as the curing temperature increased, 80°C was the best curing temperature. With prolonging the curing time, it was found that the compressive strength of early age of geopolymer reached the maximum ( 116.3 MPa for 1d, 97.5 MPa for 3d) as the curing time was 12h, and that of 28d geopolymer was 91.3 MPa as the curing time was 10h. It was also found that the compressive strength of geopolymer reduced evidently as the humidity increased.
