Alkaline dry powder activator, coal gangue, fly ash, and other raw materials are utilized to prepare coal gangue-based geopolymer concrete. The procedures of making the coal gangue-based geopolymer concrete are illustrated firstly. Also, basic mechanical properties, such as compressive strength and flexural strength of the geopolymer concrete, are studied through mechanical tests. The basic mechanical properties of ordinary concrete and coal gangue-based geopolymer concrete with different activation methods were compared and analyzed. Effects of curing temperature, curing time, water-binder ratio, and sand ratio on the basic mechanical properties of coal gangue-based geopolymer concrete activated by alkaline dry powder were studied. The optimal curing temperature, water-binder ratio, and sand ratio range of coal gangue-based geopolymer concrete activated by alkaline dry powder are obtained, respectively.

The significance of composite materials and their applications are mainly due to their good properties. This imposes the need for their recycling, thus extending their lifetime. Once used composite material will be disposed as a waste at the end of it service life. After recycling, this kind of waste can be used as raw materials for the production of same material, which raises their applicability. This indicates a great importance of recycling as a method of the renowal of composite materials. This study represents a contribution to the field of mechanical properties of the recycled composite materials. The tension mechanical properties (tensile strength and modulus of elasticity) of once used and disposed glass-epoxy composite material were compared before and after the recycling. The obtained results from mechanical tests confirmed that the applied recycling method was suitable for glass-epoxy composite materials. In respect to the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity it can be further assessed the possibility of use of recycled glass-epoxy composite materials.

Basalt fiber and crumb rubber, as excellent road material modifiers, have great advantages in improving the mechanical properties and fracture behavior of concrete. Acoustic emission (AE) is a nondestructive testing and real-time monitoring technique used to characterize the fracture behavior of concrete specimens. The object of this paper is to investigate the effects of crumb rubber replacement rate, basalt fiber content and water–binder ratio on the mechanical properties and fracture behavior of crumb rubber basalt fiber concrete (CRBFC) based on orthogonal test. The fracture behavior of a CRBFC specimen under three-point flexural conditions was monitored by AE technology and the relative cumulative hit (RCH) was defined to characterize the internal damage degree of CRBFC. The experimental results showed that, considering the mechanical strength and fracture damage behavior of CRBFC, the optimal crumb rubber replacement rate, basalt fiber content and water–binder ratio are 10%, 2 kg/m3 and 0.46, respectively. In addition, it was found that AE parameters can effectively characterize the fracture behavior of CRBFC. The fracture stages of CRBFC can be divided according to the cumulative AE hits and counts. AE amplitude value can be used as an early warning of CRBFC specimen fracture. Moreover, the fracture mode can be identified by RA and average frequency (AF) values variation during the loading process.

Nanotechnology is being used in UHPC for achieving more dense structural packing and better physical and mechanical properties. In this paper, nanosilica particles (0-1wt %) by cement were incorporated in cement pastes and mortars with water-binder ratio of 0.2, and their effect on fresh properties was addressed. The fresh properties of mixtures were investigated by spread, rheology and cohesiveness. In addition, effect of nanosilica on cement hydration was also investigated. The results show that significant increase of yield stress, viscosity and cohesiveness is observed with nanosilica above 0.005 wt% by cement, but nanosilica with content below 0.005% presents an improvement of workability especially with content of 0.002%. Moreover, the addition of nanosilica in cement pastes obviously accelerates the early cement hydration rate, but does not increase the cumulative heat evolution.

In this paper, compared with common fly ash, the low-silicon coal gangue fly ash is used to produce fly ash autoclaved aerated concrete. The influences of water binder ratio, coal gangue fly ash content, calcareous content and conditioning agents on the compressive strength of the autoclaved aerated concrete are investigated. The results indicate the coal gangue fly ash has different properties from the common fly ash such as its granule appearance and the activity as AAC siliceous raw material. It is noting that the coal gangue fly ash can also be used to prepare AAC blocks by optimizing the raw material formulation and procedure and its B05 product can reach the China top industrial standard.

This paper studies the possibility of usage of chitosan derivatives (hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCH)) as admixtures for aerial lime-based mortars. The physical-mechanical properties were studied on the specimens prepared with constant water/binder ratio and binder/aggregate ratio 1:3 by weight using siliceous sand with the grain size up to 4 mm and doses of admixture ranging between 0.5 and 10‰. The properties were studied on the specimens up to 365 days. The addition of admixtures improves workability of mortar, but in the early stages also decreases strengths of mortars, especially the compressive strength. The addition of HPCH significantly reduces the bulk densities of specimens, while CMCH decreases them just slightly. With the increasing amount of time, the difference in strengths between reference and tested mortars decreases, reaching the similar values after 90 days of curing time. The further ageing causes additional growth of strengths with a significantly higher increase in the case of CMCH.

NdFeB bonded magnets are produced by compression molding and curing. Typical raw materials are mixtures of epoxy resin and Nd2Fe14B flakes, produced mostly by melt spinning. The curing temperature should be adjusted for obtaining the best in terms of mechanical properties without overheating the pressed component. High curing temperatures can strongly oxidize Nd, generating more heat, and burning may occurs. The curing reaction is exothermic, thus the actual curing temperature will depend on the cured mass. This paper investigates this heating generation during curing, using DSC experimental apparatus.
