Abstract Cement is amongst the most polluting materials utilized in the building sector, contributing to a variety of hazardous pollutants, including greenhouse gas emissions. This raises health impacts related to the manufacture of cement. As a result, a substitute substance for conventional cement with low environmental effects and better building characteristics is required. The purpose of the study would be to look at the consequences of using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMS) to substitute cement in a concrete mix partially. This study employed silica fume (SF) and cement kiln dust (CKD) as supplementary cementitious materials. Several concrete mixtures were created by substituting cement by a combination of SF and CKD in three proportions which that 25%, 35%, and 45% within curing periods of (one week and four weeks); the concrete mixtures were tested. The ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test has been used to investigate the concrete mixture’s strength in this study. The findings show that the optimal proportion of SF replacement cement and CKD involvement ranged from 25% to 35%. The pulse velocity of specimens improves when the proportion of CKD and SF increases to the optimal percentage, while the larger amounts of these by-products begin to lower the pulse velocity of specimens.

Abstract Various experimental studies have highlighted the negative consequences of Portland cement on health and the environment, such as toxic emissions and alkaline sewage. The development of environmentally acceptable substitutes for cement is thus one of the objectives of current investigations. The proposed environmental alternatives to cement, nevertheless, might have detrimental impacts on the concrete’s characteristics. This investigation intends to study the suitability as alternatives to cement in cement mortar, using industrial wastes like silica fume and cement kiln dust. As a replacement for cement, the cement mortars developed in this research continue from 0% to 60% silica fume and cement kiln dust. Ultrasonic pulse velocity tests at 1 to 4 weeks of age were conducted on hardened specimens. The findings showed that a low reduction in the pulse velocity resulted from high proportions of silica fume and cement kiln dust replacements, whereas an improvement in the characteristics of the mortars with low replacement ratios. Using low kiln dust and silica fume of 20 to 40%, the durability of mortars may increase.

Abstract The use of supplementary cementitious materials like crushed glass, steel slag, and silica fume at an acceptable level has resulted in many advantages such as reduction of the waste solid materials and production of eco-friendly material. Moreover, the inclusion of fibers for reinforcing cementitious matrix can improve its properties overall. Therefore, this research has been divided into two phases. The first phase has included the production of green reactive powder mortar and the investigation of its properties. The second phase has involved the incorporation of the micro steel fibers to green reactive powder mortar with different amounts. The results have indicated that the use of the crushed glass, steel slag, and silica fume by 8, 12, and 10% as a partial replacement of cement with suitable chemical admixture gives a great reduction of cement by 30% from the total cementitious amount used in reactive powder mortar and greater values of strengths for reactive powder mortar. The addition of micro steel fibers by 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5% improves the dry bulk density, ultrasonic pulse velocity, compressive strength, flexural strength, and tensile strength of green mortar. The best increase has been observed at green reactive powder mortar (GRPC) containing 2 % of micro steel fibers.

The research gap about the application of basalt rock powder (BRP) and superfine sand (SS) as fillers in preparation of cement mortar is significant. This study characterizes the mechanical performance of the cement mortar formulated considering Portland cement, artificial sand and water as principal mixture components. To analyze the influence of BRP and SS on the strength properties of the mortar, the Portland cement and artificial sand have been replaced by BRP and SS respectively. The replacement percentages are 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% when the basalt rock powder replaces Portland cement and in case artificial sand is replaced by superfine sand, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. The percentages of basalt rock powder and superfine sand replace, in volume, the same quantity of Portland cement and artificial sand that forms portion of the mixture. The strength indexes such as flexural strength, compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity and dynamic elastic modulus were investigated. Overall results show that despite the reduction of mechanical properties of cement mortar, BRP and SS can be used as partial replacement of Portland cement and artificial sand in account of ratios from 10% to 25% basalt rock powder quantity by Portland cement weight and 10% to 20% superfine sand amount by volume of artificial sand.

Investigations on the different supplementary cementitious materials based on the hardening properties and the optimized dosage in cementitious systems find the right choice of pozzolanic material. It is essential to combine various additive/admixtures in concrete in proper proportions to maximize the benefits resulting in cost savings in construction. In the recent years, production technology and composition of hydraulic cements affect the setting and early age behavior of cementitious material. The addition of fly ash in cement is one viable technology to derive maximum benefits in terms of the economy and improved pozzolanic reaction. Ultrasonic pulse velocity testing is a feasible method for evaluating the hardening properties of cementitious materials. In this study, an attempt was made to derive the engineering basis for understanding the development of hardness during hydration of fly ash (FA) based cementitious systems. The tests conducted using pulse velocity technique proved to be an effective method for characterizing the early strength gain properties of different cementitious systems.

Purpose – The purpose of this study was to reuse cement kiln dust (CKD) in cement products and report the results of determining the long-term compression and flexural tensile strengths of mortars containing CKD as a partial replacement of sulfate-resistant cement (SRC). During the manufacturing of Portland cement, voluminous quantities of the byproduct dust are produced, which is commonly known as CKD. In the past decade, according to environmental requirements, many researchers have attempted to reuse CKD in cement products. Design/methodology/approach – The long-term compression and flexural tensile strengths of mortars containing CKD as a partial replacement of SRC were tested. The replacement ratios in this study were 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 per cent. The specimens were exposed to a highly saline environment after normal curing in water for a 28-day period. Findings – The results indicated a slight increase in the strength of CKD–SRC mortar containing 10 per cent CKD and moderate sulfate resistance when the CKD ratio reached 20 per cent, as compared to the reference mortar. In addition, CKD did not adversely affect the properties of SRC mortar subjected to sulfate exposure, even after one year. Originality/value – The tests were inducted for the first time on SRC, and the new results can be used to produce an environmental-friendly concrete.

There have been many efforts in reusing Cement Kiln Dust (CKD), a by-product of cement manufacturing, in various areas of civil works. These efforts have been made due to the necessity of the material for proper disposal, because of its very fine texture and the fact that if not handled properly, it will be harmful to human health and the environment. Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of incorporating CKD in concrete as an approach of reusing it. In the current study, the effect of using cement kiln dust on the mechanical properties of concrete as a partial replacement of cement was reviewed. The investigated mechanical properties were compressive strength for the curing ages of 7 and 28 days and tensile and flexural strengths, modulus of elasticity, and water absorption for the curing age of 28 days. It was concluded that replacing cement with CKD leads to detrimental effects on all mechanical properties of concrete. There were sufficient amount of data to establish correlations between the amount of cement replacement with CKD, and its effect on all mechanical properties of concrete except for water absorption. Regression analyses were performed and model equations with acceptably high R2s were prepared. The optimal CKD content regarding all mechanical properties was concluded to be 10% by the cement weight, at which 7 and 28 days compressive strengths, 28 days tensile and flexural strengths, and elastic modulus decreased by amounts of 11%, 12%, 8%, 9%, and 8% respectively.
