Abstract Recycle and reuse of agriculture and industrial wastes becomes a big chalenge in different parts of the world. The success in the waste recycle could lead to conserve the environment, reduce the use of cement, and improve health environment. This paper presents the potential use of fly ash from olive oil waste in Jordan to improve concrete material which could be used as a sustainable material for rigid pavement and building construction material. Olive oil ash was collected from olive oil mill and replace cement in producing concrete material. The range of cement replacement was 0% to 12.5% with increment 2.5%. The results indicate that olive oil reduces the workability of concrete material. The reduction of the slump of concrete increases with increasing olive ash content. Strength and durability of concrete improved and increased with increasing olive ash content in concrete up to 7.5 percent then the strength reduced. The results in this study show that the use of 7.5% was the optimum replacement of cement. This percent could produce concrete with higher strength and higher durability in comparison with the control concrete mix. Olive waste ash enhances both strength and durability because it reduces the effective water-cement ratio in concrete mix and filling the pore and void structure in concrete material. The benefits of this study could reduce the cost of concrete and recycle waste material and enhance concrete properties.

The olive oil industry represents an important productive sector in the Mediterranean basin countries. Olive stone is an essential by-product generated in the olive oil extraction industries and it represents roughly 10% by weight of the olive fruit. The seeds of pickled olives are also a significant waste product. In the present study, we have investigated the possibility of the use of differential scanning calorimetry for the thermal characterization of seeds from green and black pickled olives from Croatia. The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) with a normal pressure cell equipped with a cooling system was used to determine the thermal properties of seeds from olives. The following analyses were also performed: the determination of calorific values in a pressure bomb calorimeter, the determination of initial water content, the determination of changes of water content during drying at the temperatures of 30 °C, 50 °C and 80 °C, the determination of a percentage content of seeds mass to the mass of the whole olives, and the determination of ash content. Seeds from olives are characterized by very good parameters as a biomass. The analyzed olive seeds were characterized by low water content, low ash content, and a relatively high caloric value.

Strength And Durability

Concrete is a globally utilized material in the construction field. In the last few decades, Concrete consumption has become multifold and usage has enhanced in massive scale due to the rapid growth of infra sector. Generally, Concrete consists of cement, aggregate, and water; these ingredients become more expensive day by day and additionally hard to please and is increasing widely. During the process of making Ordinary Portland Cement(OPC) produces a large amount of greenhouse gases and the environment being polluted. To minimize the cement utilization and environmental issues is essential to switch the cement by another alternate materials such as pozzolanas. The various number of pozzolanic materials comes from industrial wastes are Groundz Granulatedz Blastz furnacez Slagz (GGBS), xFlyqAsh (FA), zSilicazFume (SF), Metakaolin (MK) etc are utilized in concrete. Similarly, the availability of river sand is getting drained furthermore it turns out troublesome. In order to avoid this problem river sand is alter by zManufacturedkSand (M Sand). An attempt is made in the present investigation to study on properties of fiber reinforced concrete (qsteelu fibers @ 1% of binder) of M40 grade made with OPC, GGBS, MK and manufactured sand. In this study, OPC is replaced by GGBS and MK in different proportions. By casting requisite number of cubes, cylinders then zMechanical properties are determined such as fCompressivekstrength,sSplitdtensile strength tests and durability properties are determined by conducting Water absorption and Sorptivity tests. Test results are compared between controlled concrete and innovative concrete of M40 grade.It is observed that 30%(15%GGBS,15%MK) replacement is optimum for strength and durability criteria.

Certain construction situations call for the use of ultra-lightweight concrete materials. The properties of such materials allow for the utilisation of concrete in weight critical applications, for example precast elements, roofing panels, flooring and cladding of structures. The weight saving benefits of lightweight concrete are evident, yet a trade-off in the strength and durability characteristics of the concrete are made. This paper sets out to develop an ultra-lightweight thin filmed polymer modified concrete material for such applications. This material may incorporate specialised aggregates and admixtures to meet performance requirements but the effects of these on the performance of the lightweight concrete are to be carefully evaluated. This paper presents some of the results obtained by means of laboratory testing as well in-situ testing. As part of the in-situ testing, the paper also reports on the practical evaluation of the ultra-lightweight material characteristics performed through the construction of a light weight concrete racing canoe. This allowed for the evaluation of the material performance characteristics and the establishment of acceptable work and application methods when constructing with this material.

Strength And Durability

The water-cement ratio of fresh concrete is recognized as the one factor that affects the strength and durability of an adequately compacted concrete mix. Although water-cement ratio is the predominant factor affecting strength of hardened concrete, currently no widely used, reliable method is available for measuring water-cement ratio in the field. A prototype device has been developed to measure the water-cement ratio of a plastic concrete mix. The method is based on the measurement of turbidity of water-cement slurry separated out of a concrete mixture by pressure sieving. Consistent results were obtained for air-entrained and non-air-entrained concrete. Statistical analyses of the test results have shown that this meter can measure the water-cement ratio of fresh concrete with an accuracy of ±0.01 on the water-cement ratio scale for a single test at a 90 percent confidence interval. The equipment will cost less than $10,000. If the method works as well in the field as it does in the laboratory, accurate determination of water-cement ratio could dramatically improve the ability of the concrete industry to ensure the quality of concrete construction.

In the paper it was decided to recognize the material characteristics of concrete based on ceramic aggregate, aluminous cement with the addition of zeolite (5%, 10%, 15%) and air entraining admixture. Aggregate crushed to 2 fractions was used for designing the concrete mix : 0-4 mm, and 4-8 mm. The research involved the use of clinoptilolite derived from the zeolite tuff deposit at Sokyrnytsya (Transcarpathia, Ukraine). The dominant component in the zeolite is clinoptilolite in an amount of about 75%. The research carried out by the authors showed that the addition of zeolite, among others, increases the compressive strength of concrete, significantly improves the frost resistance, which in the case of using only aluminous cement is very low. The obtained results confirm the possibility of using the above-mentioned components, which improve the concrete material properties and are environmentally friendly.

Concrete is brittle and widely used as an artificial construction material with incorporation of cement, water and aggregate in necessary proportions. To overcome the brittle behavior of composites, fibers and admixture are added to the concrete. In this present investigation Polypropylene Fiber is added in varying percentage (0.2%, 0.4%, 0, 6%, 0.8% and 1%) to the weight of cement and constant percentage of Rice Husk Ash (15%) is replaced with cement. The polypropylene fiber reinforced blended concrete tiles of size 300mm x 300mm x 30mm are cast as per the code and tested at 28 days curing period. Flexural strength, Abrasion test, Dimensional quality and water absorption are studied. Among different proportion of Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Blended Concrete, the best performance is achieved by the combination of 15% of Rice Husk Ash with 0.6% of Polypropylene Fiber.

Keywords: High Performance Concrete, mix proportions, compressive strength , and durability Abstract. The use of concrete materials to date, remain a key ingredient in such construction work on the construction of building, bridges and infrastructure. One indicator is the increased production of readymix concrete which is nearly 16 billion tons in 2010. But the increased used of concrete, apparently bring the impact of environmental damage. This is due to the fact that production of raw materials contributes greatly to CO2 in the air. One effort to reduce such impact is to use of high performance concretes. Mix proportion of High Performance Concrete are strongly determined by the quality and availablity of local materials. The implications of research result from other countries can‘t be directly used. Therefore is need to the research on development of High Performance Concrete mix using locally available materials. In this research the mix proportions for f’c : 60 and 80 MPa are developed using local materials that are commonly used by readymix producers. The high Performance Concrete is developed based on compressive strength and durability. The result is expected to be applied to readymix industry particularly for construction use in Indonesia.

Geopolymer Composites

The aim of this study was to synthesize the geopolymer composites formed by two industrial wastes, namely red mud (RM) and saw dust (SD). SD was chemically treated with alkali for the removal of lignin and subsequently bleached, before forming composite with acid-modified RM. The composites were then characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetic analysis (TGA) and universal testing machine to study the morphology, chemical, thermal and mechanical properties. The FTIR spectrum showed that Si and Al from the raw materials played the major role in forming aluminosilicate geopolymer composites. The SEM images revealed that SD and RM particles aggregated to form fully condensed geopolymer matrices with high compressive strength of 8.3-138 MPa, which were comparable to Portland cement (compressive strength of 9-20.7 MPa).
