Rate Of Substitution

Silicon is the main element in the composition of glass and it has been seen that it can be used as a partial replacement for cement in the manufacture of concrete. Different dosages of glass powder and cement were applied to manufacture the concrete mixes. Initially, the characteristics of fresh concrete were studied, such as consistency, air content, apparent density and workability. Secondly, compressive strength tests were performed on the different concrete mixtures produced. The consistency tests allowed us to classify these concretes within the group of fluids. The air content of these concretes increased with the rate of substitution of cement by glass powder, resulting in lighter concretes. Density tests showed that this parameter decreased as the rate of substitution of cement increased. A coefficient k has been calculated for the substitution of glass powder by cement in the binder, using the Bolomey formula. Also, a mathematical model has been proposed to further analyze the experimental data. Major contributions of this work were to study the possible application of this concrete in different dispersions as a surface protection layer against the action of corrosion, in wind turbine foundations as well as the stabilization of the wind farm roads.

This study deals with determination of the properties of the fine recycled aggregate (FRA) concrete with partial replacement of natural sand in concrete mixtures. The FRA was obtained from concrete waste and crushed on fraction 0 – 4 mm by laboratory jaw crusher. The geometrical and physical properties of natural sand and the FRA were tested. The main goal of this study is evaluation of the basic physical and mechanical properties of the concrete with partial natural sand replacement by the FRA such as workability, water absorption capacity, compressive strength and flexural strength. A total four concrete mixtures were prepared. The first concrete mixture was prepared only with natural sand, did not include the FRA. In other concrete mixtures, natural sand was replaced by the FRA in various replacement ratios (40 %, 50 %, and 60 %). All concrete mixtures were designated with the same parameters for clear comparison. The workability of fresh concrete mixtures and physical and mechanical properties of hardened concrete were tested.

AbstractA quaternary supplementary cementitious materials as partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement decreases CO2 emission. This paper has investigated the properties of mortars made from different quaternary blends of wood ash, steel slag powder and glass powder with ordinary Portland cement at different replacement levels of 0, 24, 25, and 30% by weight of the binder. The blended mortar mixtures tested for flow, compressive strength and density. The results showed that the flow of mortars is decreased with the combined use of steel slag powder, glass powder, and wood ash compared with control mix. Compressive strength reduced with the combination of steel slag powder, glass powder and wood ash but this reduction effects is acceptable especially at 24% replacement contain super-plasticizer compared with the ecological benefit.

The emergence of new special concretes on construction sites has shown that concretes of the same slump may behave quite differently on the job. For these concretes, one cannot rely on the traditional workability tests for quality control and rheological characterization. It has been claimed that the flow behavior of fresh concrete closely approximates the Bingham model and that at least two parameters are therefore needed to describe its rheology. Thus, rheological measurements must be carried out at not fewer than two shear rates. This study examines the applicability of the Bingham model to fluid and self-leveling highstrength concrete (HSC). Results obtained from a rheometer are compared with results of the standard slump test. Fluid concrete mixtures were investigated that had a water/binder ratio ( w/ b) of 0.33 and slump values of 200 ± 20 mm and incorporated proportions of limestone filler, silica fume, and ground silica as partial replacement (by volume) of cement. In addition, self-leveling concrete mixtures (torque viscosity ≤ 1 Nm at 15 min) having a w/ b ratio of 0.25 and 15 percent replacement of cement by various fillers were examined. The possibility of characterizing the rheology of fluid and self-leveling HSC on the basis of only two tests carried out at two different shear rates was addressed. An effort was made to define which is more relevant in a rheometer flow curve: the ascending part, the descending part, the maximum stress requirement, the flow resistance, the torque viscosity, or combinations of these factors. The possibility of measuring the rapid stiffening behavior of fresh HSC with time and the effect of ultrafine particles on the rheology using rheometric tests were also investigated.

The search for the application of alternative materials, that can partially replace cement and increase the service life of concrete structures, is necessary from the environmental and technological point of view. In this context, the partial substitution of cement in concretes by pozzolanic additions can be performed as ternary mixtures, such as the combined incorporation of glass powder and metakaolin, enabling the reduction of cement consumption and the minimisation of the CO2 emissions and the natural resources consumption. Therefore, this research evaluated the incorporation of glass powder and metakaolin in an isolated and combined way, as partial substitutes for cement in concretes. The compressive strength and the chloride penetration resistance were evaluated by means of electrical resistivity, chloride permeability, steady-state chloride migration test and chloride diffusion test, obtaining the diffusivity and chloride contaminated depth by the colorimetric method. The alkali–silica reactivity test was also conducted, because of the alkali content of the waste glass being higher than the standard requirements. It was concluded that the combined use of ground glass powder and metakaolin in concrete allowed the replacement of up to 20% of the cement, promoting microstructural improvements and increasing properties related to durability and compressive strength already available at 28 days. Furthermore, it increased the estimated service life up to five times, working as an alternative for the reduction of cement use and concrete properties' improvement.

The utilization of solid waste materials or industrial waste as partial substitution of cement is growing in construction industry all around world. Less cement consumption causes consequently reduction in CO2 emission into the atmosphere and reduction in energy consumption. This paper examines the possibility of using finely ground waste glass as a partial replacement for cement and as a sealing admixture. Glass powder used in the research was prepared from the glass waste obtained from a local recycling company. Glass cullet made of brown glass, which after rinsing to remove sugars and other impurities, was dried and ground to a fraction below 125 μm.This paper is the revised version of the paper that has been published in the Proceedings of the Creative Construction Conference 2018 (Horszczaruk and Brzozowski, 2018).

Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) is conventionally made up of high content fly ash (FA) combined with Portland cement (PC) as a binder. However, the growing call for sustainability is leading to continuous decommissioning of various coal power plants around the world thereby limiting the supply of fly ash available for ECC production. Therefore, it is of high importance to find alternative materials that can be incorporated into ECC as a partial replacement of the conventional binders. This experimental investigation was carried out to investigate the feasibility of incorporating glass powder (GP) as binder into ECC mixtures. The mechanical performance in terms of its compressive, tensile, and flexural properties was evaluated. Results from this study showed that 25% FA can be replaced with GP without any significant reduction in the mechanical performance of ECC mixtures. Microstructural investigations of the mixtures incorporating GP show good bonding between the cementitious matrix and the fibres.
