Enhancing Tensile Strength and Porosity of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) with Glass Waste Powder

The progressive increase in the amount of glass waste produced each year in the world made it necessary to start the search for new recycling methods. This work summarizes the experimental results of the study on mortar samples containing dispersed reinforcement in the form of glass fibers, fully made from melted glass waste (bottles). Mortar mixes were prepared according to a new, laboratory-calculated recipe containing glass fibers, granite as aggregate, polycarboxylate-based deflocculant and Portland cement (52.5 MPa). This experimental work involved three different contents (600, 1200, and 1800 g/m3) of recycled glass fibers. After 28 days, the mechanical properties such as compressive, flexural, and split tensile strength were characterized. Furthermore, the modulus of elasticity and Poisson coefficient were determined. The initial and final setting times, porosity, and pH of the blends were measured. Images of optical microscopy (OM) were taken. The addition of glass fibers improves the properties of mortar. The highest values of mechanical properties were obtained for concrete with the addition of 1800 g/m3 of glass fibers (31.5% increase in compressive strength, 29.9% increase in flexural strength, and 97.6% increase in split tensile strength compared to base sample).

Concrete Mix

The behaviors of the fresh and mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) are different from those of normal concrete mix. Previous research has investigated the benefits of this concrete mix by incorporating different constituent materials. The current research aims to develop a steel fiber reinforcement (SFR)‒SCC mixture and to study the effectiveness of different cement replacement materials (CRMs) on the fresh and mechanical properties of the SFR‒SCC mixtures. CRMs have been used to replace cement content, and the use of different water/cement ratios may lower the cost of CRMs, which include microwave-incinerated rice husk ash, silica fume, and fly ash. Fresh behavior, such as flow and filling ability and capacity segregation, was examined by a special test in SCC on the basis of their specifications. Moreover, compressive and splitting tensile strength tests were determined to simulate the hardened behavior for the concrete specimens. Experimental findings showed that, the V-funnel and L-box were within the accepted range for SCC. Tensile and flexural strength increases upon the use of 10% silica fume were found when compared with other groups; the ideal percentage of steel fiber that should be combined in this hybrid was 2% of the total weight of the binder. Overall, steel fibers generated a heightened compressive and splitting tensile strength in the self-compacting concrete mixes.

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a specially developed concrete for concreting under extreme condition of inaccessibility from heights. It is capable to flow under influence of its own weight. It could be used when encountered with dense reinforcement and complex structural design. Problem of segregation as well as bleeding is eliminated and vibration is not required for compaction. As concrete is strong in compression and weak in tension. Hence to make it strong in tension, discontinuous Anti-Crack high dispersion glass fibers are added. SCC mix prepared with addition of discontinuous glass fibers is called as Glass Fiber reinforced Self Compacting Concrete (GFRSCC). In this paper an experimental study has been carried out to check the effect of Anti-Crack high dispersion glass fibers on the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of SCC. The result show that, as compared to the Normal SCC, the compressive strength of GFRSCC increases by 2.80% and 12.42%, the split tensile strength of GFRSCC increases by 4.47% and 25.12% and the flexural strength of SCC increases by 6.57% and 14.34% when the Cem-FIL Anti-Crack HD glass fibers were added as 0.25% and 0.50% respectively by the weight of total cementitious material contents. The addition of 0.25% Cem-FIL Anti-Crack HD glass fibers to SCC has not much affect on the workability of Normal SCC. Whereas, addition of 0.50% Cem-FIL Anti-Crack HD glass fibers reduces the workability of SCC.

As human societies grow, the problem of waste management becomes one of the pressing issues that need to be addressed. Recycling and reuse of waste are effective waste management measures that prevent pollution and conserve natural resources. In this study, the possibility of using glass waste as an alternative was used as a partial weight substitute for fine aggregates with replacement ratios of 10, 20, 30, and 40% by the weight, and formed into test models (15 cm * 15 cm ) cube and (15 cm * 30 cm) cylinder, then matured and tested their strength compression and tensile strength at the age of 7 and 28 days and compared with a reference or conventional concrete with a mixing ratio (1: 1.5: 3) as well as testing its workability on fresh concrete. The results showed the possibility of using crushed glass wastes in concrete as a good alternative to fine aggregates, up to 30%. The compressive strength and tensile strength results at this ratio were 92.6% and 80.86% at the age of 28 days, respectively.

AbstractSelf compacting concrete (SCC) is special type of concrete which is highly flowable and non-segregated and by its own mass, spreads into the formwork without any external vibrators, even in the presence of thick reinforcement. But SSC is also brittle nature like conventional concrete, which results in abrupt failure without giving any deformation (warning), which is undesirable for any structural member. Thus, self-compacting concrete (SCC) needs some of tensile reinforcement to enhance tensile strength and prevent the unsuitable abrupt failure. But fiber increased tensile strength of concrete more effectively than compressive strength. Hence, it is essential to add pozzolanic materials into fiber reinforced concrete to achieve high strength, durable and ductile concrete. This study is conducted to assess the performance of SCC with substitutions of marble waste (MW) and coconut fiber (CFs) into SCC. MW utilized as cementitious (pozzolanic) materials in percentage of 5.0 to 30% in increment of 5.0% by weight of binder and concrete is reinforced with CFs in proportion of 0.5 to 3.0% in increment of 0.5% by weight of binder. Rheological characteristics were measured through its filling and passing ability by using Slump flow, Slump T50, L-Box, and V-funnel tests while mechanical characteristics were measured through compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexure strength and bond strength (pull out) tests. Experimental investigation show that MW and CFs decrease the passing ability and filling ability of SCC. Additionally, Experimental investigation show that MW up to 20% and CFs addition 2.0% by weight of binder tend to increase the mechanical performance of SCC. Furthermore, statistical analysis (RSM) was used to optimize the combined dose of MW and CFs into SCC to obtain high strength self-compacting concrete.

Abstract Every year, the world produces one million tons of glass garbage. Once the glass has been broken down, it is dumped in landfills, where it will remain inert for hundreds of years. glass is mainly made of silica. For long-term infrastructure development, ground glass as a partial cement substitute may be a major advance (environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and economic). Secondary calcium silicate hydrate is expected to be produced when glass waste is crushed into microscopic particles and then reacts with cement hydrate through pozzolanic interactions (C-S-H). There were experiments done on concrete utilizing (0-35 per cent) ground glass and superplasticizer, silica fume, fine sand and fibres, with the water to binder (cement + glass) ratio maintained constant for all degrees of replacement on compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength. Steel is a fixed quantity that applies to all conceivable configurations. Concrete cube samples were made and tested for strength (28 days curing). It was discovered that the recycled glass concrete outperformed control samples in compressive strength tests. Compressive strength, tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity are all greatest in the 25 per cent glass powder. It was decided that using recycled glass trash in place of 25 per cent of the cement was a good idea because of the economic and environmental advantages.
