Abstract This paper mainly deals with the cost analysis of the concrete which is prepared using environmental waste which forms pollution and having its disposable issue also. This concrete may be termed as green concrete because the use of these materials decreases the harmful gas formation of the concrete. This paper deals with Kota Stone Dust, Bagasse Ash, and Recycled coarse aggregates. The concrete is prepared by the various ratios of Kota Stone in order of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%. The use of bagasse ash was done in ratio 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and use of Recycled Aggregate was done in ratio of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%. After the successful experimental study of concrete using this material the cost reduction for M25 grade of concrete was found to be 645 INR.

The properties of concrete containing coarse recycled aggregates were investigated. Laboratory trials were conducted to investigate the possibility of using recycled aggregates from the demolition wastes available locally as the replacement of natural coarse aggregates in concrete. A series of tests were carried out to determine the density, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete with and without recycled aggregates. The water cement ratio was kept constant for all the mixes. The coarse aggregate in concrete was replaced with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% recycled coarse aggregates. The test results indicated that the replacement of natural coarse aggregates by recycled aggregates up to 40% had little effect on the compressive strength, but higher levels of replacement reduced the compressive strength. A replacement level of 100% causes a reduction of 28% in compressive strength, 36% in split tensile strength and 50% in flexural strength. For strength characteristics, the results showed a gradual decrease in compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity as the percentage of recycled aggregate used in the specimens increased. 100% replacement of natural coarse aggregate by recycled aggregate resulted in 43% savings in the cost of coarse aggregates and 9% savings in the cost of concrete.

Extensive studies have been performed on the mechanical and durability properties of the concrete prepared with recycled coarse aggregates (RCA), however, only modest consideration has been given to the studies on the behaviour of RAC prepared by alternative mixing approach techniques. This study presents the mechanical properties of the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) with different percentages of RCA prepared by normal mixing approach (NMA), two-stage mixing approach (TSMA) and sand enveloped mixing approach (SEMA) techniques. The manufactured concrete mixtures were tested for compression, tension, flexure and elastic modulus at 7, 28 and 90 days. The results indicate that the mechanical properties of the RAC (with 100% of RCA) prepared through TSMA and SEMA were improved by 9.36 and 12.14% at 28 days. Perhaps, prolonged curing to TSMA and SEMA mixtures improved the mechanical properties of the RAC that is nearly equal to normal aggregate concrete (NAC) prepared by NMA.

Mechanical properties of recycled concrete under different conditions were studied in this paper. Based on three kinds of replacement percentage of recycled aggregate and four kinds of seawater corrosion conditions, the experimental study of mechanical properties of recycled concrete specimens corroded by seawater and produced under vacuum conditions were conducted, and compared with that of ordinary concrete specimens. Testing results show that compressive strength of recycled concrete decreases with the increase of both the replacement rate of recycled aggregate and the corrosion time by seawater, with the maximum reduce value is 17.96% and 24.52%; Vacuum conditions effectively improve the strength of recycled concrete, improved value is 1.03-1.19 times of the same replacement ratio of recycled aggregate, and 1.00-1.16 times of the ordinary concrete. It provides the reference for marine engineering application of recycled concrete.

Green concrete is an active area of research. Structural demolishing waste is a global serious problem, particularly in urban areas. This research paper presents the experimental evaluation of the effect of long term loading on reinforced green concrete beams. Three beams were cast with partial replacement of natural coarse aggregates with demolished old concrete. Three beams were cast with all-natural coarse aggregates to compare the results. The beams were mounted on purpose made frames for 9 months. Deflection, strain and cracking in beams were monitored on a daily basis. After 9 months, the beams were tested until failure in a universal load testing machine under central point load. It was observed that the proposed beams exhibited 3.55% reduction in maximum load caring capacity compared to control specimens. The obtained results show good performance of the proposed green concrete beams under 9-month long term loading.

The Impact

Recycled concrete aggregates have been widely studied and used in concrete products nowadays. However, other recycled wastes, such as glass, have not been involved too much in recycled aggregate concrete studies. This paper aims to study the impact of the content variation of the different recycled wastes to the properties of the concrete paving block. In this paper, not only recycled coarse concrete aggregates, crushed glass are also used as the recycled aggregate in the concrete paving block in different replacement levels. According to test the properties of blocks mixed with different recycled wastes, the experimental results indicate that: (1) adding recycled concrete coarse aggregate (RCCA) in the blocks can decrease the blocks’ strength, and increase the water absorption. The suggested replacement levels for RCCA is 60%; (2) mixing crushed glass (CG) in the concrete paving blocks as a type of coarse aggregates can obviously improve the blocks’ strength and decrease the blocks’ water absorption.

Globally, the concrete industry consumes large quantities of natural resources, which are becoming insufficient to meet the increasing demands. Cement and aggregates are major constituents of concrete. Utilisation of waste materials in concrete instead of raw materials reduces environmental pollution. Ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) is a by-product of steel industry. It has cementatious property. Recycled aggregates are obtained from demolishing waste. By using recycled concrete aggregate and GGBS in concrete we can reduce environmental problem to some extent. This experimental study evaluate the effective utilisation of GGBS and recycled aggregate in concrete. In this study GGBS is used as partial replacement for cement and recycled aggregate as partial replacement for coarse aggregate.

The Cost

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.

Dynamic Modulus Of Elasticity

Abstract The elastic behavior of the concrete is estimated from its strength or determined by static or dynamic tests. However, because the codes of practice do not standardize the internal moisture content of the concrete and disregard the use of recycled aggregates when proposing equations for the estimation of the modulus of elasticity, discrepancies between the values measured and estimated are frequent. The influence of the moisture content of concrete containing basaltic coarse aggregates and coarse recycled concrete aggregate in the dynamic modulus of elasticity is discussed in this paper. A basalt coarse aggregate and two recycled coarse aggregates where used. For each type of coarse aggregate, concrete with compression strength between 25 MPa and 55 MPa were produced. The dynamic modulus of elasticity of the saturated samples were determined and range from 26 GPa to 46 GPa. There is a significant difference in the value of the dynamic modulus of elasticity for dry concrete versus saturated concrete, also influenced by the type of aggregate. Estimations of the modulus of elasticity from the compressive strength equations proposed by the codes of practice must be improved considering its characteristics.

The research presented in this article analysed the influence of incorporating precast concrete waste as an alternative to coarse aggregate in self-compacting concrete to generate new precast elements. The experimental study involved the characterization of recycled aggregate and the design of the mix of the new self-compacting concrete (SCC). The experimental study evaluates the physical processes that affect the durability of concrete with percentages of incorporation such as 20%, 50% and 100% of recycled aggregate. Two types of SCC were manufactured with minimum compressive strength of 30 MPa and 45 MPa. The properties analysed were density of hardened SCC, shrinkage cracking, freeze-thaw resistance, resistance to ageing by thermal shock and abrasion resistance. The results obtained were compared with those of the control concrete, observing great capacity of the SCC under physical aggressions that affect durability. The results of this research show that it is possible to use the recycled aggregate coming from precast pieces in order to the manufacture of self-compacting recycled concrete in the same precast industry. However, high loss of proprieties occurs for a 100% substitution, while for 20% and 50%, the variations with respect to control concrete are smaller. In addition, taking advantage of this waste to incorporate it back into the production chain contributes to more sustainable construction.
