The search for the application of alternative materials, that can partially replace cement and increase the service life of concrete structures, is necessary from the environmental and technological point of view. In this context, the partial substitution of cement in concretes by pozzolanic additions can be performed as ternary mixtures, such as the combined incorporation of glass powder and metakaolin, enabling the reduction of cement consumption and the minimisation of the CO2 emissions and the natural resources consumption. Therefore, this research evaluated the incorporation of glass powder and metakaolin in an isolated and combined way, as partial substitutes for cement in concretes. The compressive strength and the chloride penetration resistance were evaluated by means of electrical resistivity, chloride permeability, steady-state chloride migration test and chloride diffusion test, obtaining the diffusivity and chloride contaminated depth by the colorimetric method. The alkali–silica reactivity test was also conducted, because of the alkali content of the waste glass being higher than the standard requirements. It was concluded that the combined use of ground glass powder and metakaolin in concrete allowed the replacement of up to 20% of the cement, promoting microstructural improvements and increasing properties related to durability and compressive strength already available at 28 days. Furthermore, it increased the estimated service life up to five times, working as an alternative for the reduction of cement use and concrete properties' improvement.

The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of pozzolanic materials and nano particles on improve the strength characteristic by the properties of a self-compacting high-performance concrete that includes calcined clay with nano lime. In this study, two blends systems are worked on, they are the binary and the ternary systems. For binary mixtures, test samples were prepared from 5% CC, 10% CC, 15% CC and 3% NL by partial replacement of the cement weight. While ternary mixtures, samples were prepared from 5% CC 3% NL, 10% CC 3% NL and 15% CC 3% NL by partial substitution of cement weight. The tests conducted on mixes are fresh tests like slump flow diameter, V-funnel, L-box, and segregation resistance. The compressive strength test was determined at 7, 28 and 56 days. While splitting tensile strength tests at 7 and 28 days from the SCHPC produced in the study. It was concluded that the replacement of CC and NL in SCHPC binary mixes reduced the fresh results enough for SCHPC production and gave a general improvement in the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength properties of the SCHPC mixture. SCHPC with 10% CC partial replacement of cement showed higher values of compressive and splitting tensile strength, compared to the reference mixture of SCHPC for all days, thus it was considered the best. Whereas, the strength of the concrete mixtures in the ternary cement mixtures was better than the strength of the mixing and control mortar systems for the same replacement levels in 7 , 28 and 56 days.

This experiment was conducted to determine the utility of substituting cement with the recycled glass powder (RGP) in mortar mixtures. A total of 21 mortar mixtures were produced using various RGP (FG) ratios (CG), and fly ash (FA) powders. The mortar mixtures were used to prepare cubes which were tested for 7-and 28-day compressive strength. The substitution of cement with FG and CG in mortar resulted in reduced 7-and 28-day compressive strength values. However, the amount and type of RGP substituted for cement plays a crucial role in the determination of mortar strength. Above contraction in compressive strength was observed at an initial maturity than at the final maturity. Further, replacement of cement with Fly Ash showed increase in compressive strength up to certain content. More research and testing for the optimal percentage and size of waste glass powder that can be used is required in flowable fill.

The utilization of solid waste materials or industrial waste as partial substitution of cement is growing in construction industry all around world. Less cement consumption causes consequently reduction in CO2 emission into the atmosphere and reduction in energy consumption. This paper examines the possibility of using finely ground waste glass as a partial replacement for cement and as a sealing admixture. Glass powder used in the research was prepared from the glass waste obtained from a local recycling company. Glass cullet made of brown glass, which after rinsing to remove sugars and other impurities, was dried and ground to a fraction below 125 μm.This paper is the revised version of the paper that has been published in the Proceedings of the Creative Construction Conference 2018 (Horszczaruk and Brzozowski, 2018).

This study investigated the influence of nanokaolin content on the behavior of cement mortar at various curing ages. The fluidity, chloride permeability, bending and compressive strength of cement mortar with various nanokaolin additives were examined. The addition of 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6% nanokaolin were taken into consideration. The results showed that the addition of nanokaolin decreases the fluidity of cement mortar, and the fluidity the cement mortar decreases with the increase of nanokaolin additives. It is obtained that the addition of nanokaolin increases both the bending and compressive strength of cement mortar, and with the increase of nanokaolin additives, the bending and compressive strength of cement mortar increase. The addition of 4% nanokaolin can result in a significant low chloride permeability of cement mortar among the seven dosages. The chloride diffusion coefficient of the mortar with the addition of 4% nanokaolin was decreased by 18.93%, 12.68% and 31.05% at 7, 14 and 28 curing days, respectively.

Abstract The incorporation of waste glass as a partial replacement for cement in concrete can provide an alternative destination for the waste, reduce the consumption of cement (minimizing CO2 emissions and consumption of natural resources), and improve the concrete performance. Thus, this research evaluated the performance of concrete incorporating waste glass sludge (GS), resulting from the process of stoning and polishing of soda-lime flat glass, as a supplementary cementing material. Mechanical strength and durability properties were assessed through compressive strength, alkali-silica reactivity, electrical resistivity and chloride permeability, diffusivity and migration tests. Mixtures containing metakaolin (ME) were also evaluated. The results indicated that the use of the waste ground to an adequate size can replace up to 20% of cement. At this content, it caused a reduction of chloride penetration of over 80%, reduced ASR and conserved compressive strength. The combination of waste with metakaolin replacing 20% of cement also improved all the concrete properties, increasing the compressive strength up to 12% at 28 days.

Since the building made of cement concrete consumes almost half of the total energy generated and accordingly accountable for huge amount of CO2 emission, it is necessary to replace the Portland cement (PC) with sustainable construction material. Similarly, Prosopis Juliflora is a shrub or small tree in the family Fabaceae, a kind of mesquite which is considered to be a potential threat for ground water in South India. Hence, this has to eradicate so as to maintain the groundwater and also to effectively utilize its ash thereby reducing environmental pollution, this can be used as a partial replacement for cement. In this regard, this paper investigates the technical feasibility of using Prosopis Juliflora ash (PJA) as cementitious material by partially (5%, 10% and 15%) replacing cement by Prosopis Juliflora ash. The mixes were evaluated for their fresh, physical and strength properties such as workability, density and compressive strength and the results were compared with the conventional mix. In order to save the environment and to save the resources we have come up with using the Prosopis Juliflora (Semai-Karuvelam in Tamil) ash as the partial replacement of cement. Cement will produce equal amount of greenhouse gas (co2) which increase the global warming. As the amount of cement is reduced greenhouse gases also reduced. Utilization of Juliflora ash as a partial substitution for cement is one of the promising methods to increase the strength and thermal insulation for cement blocks. The strength parameters (compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength) of concrete with blended Prosopis Juliflora cement are evaluated.

Abstract This study focuses on the development of durable structural lightweight concrete (LWC) by incorporating expanded perlite aggregate (EPA) in the range of 0 to 20% by weight. In order to ensure its durability when exposed to chloride environment, concrete was produced with low water-to-cement ratio and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was replaced with 50% and 7% ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and silica fume (SF), respectively. The mechanical properties and durability of concrete were assessed by determining the unit weight, compressive strength, flexural strength, drying shrinkage, chloride permeability and migration, as well as resistance of concrete to corrosion of reinforcing steel. Very importantly, thermal insulation properties were determined using a hot guarded plate. In addition, a finite element model (FEM) was prepared to study the behavior of EPA-modified concrete under seismic loading. The results showed that the unit weight of concrete was reduced by 20% to 30% when compared with the normal weight concrete (NWC). The compressive strength of the developed LWC was sufficient to be used as structural concrete, particularly of those mixtures containing 10% and 15% perlite aggregate. The durability of LWC was comparable to NWC in terms of chloride diffusion and resistance of concrete to corrosion of reinforcing steel. The tangible outcomes also include the superior thermal insulation properties of LWC compared to NWC. The greater incorporation of EPA in the concrete resulted in better behavior under seismic loading.

Drying shrinkage in mortar produces cracks and micro-cracks which affect the durability of a structure. The effects of seawater as a substitute to freshwater and fly ash as a partial replacement for cement were investigated in this study in order to address the predicted water shortage by 2025 and the increasing carbon footprint from carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Moreover, these materials are also more economical alternatives to freshwater and cement. Rectangular prism specimens with varying fly ash content (10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%) were cast to measure the drying shrinkage in mortar while 50-mm cube mortar specimens were prepared to determine the compressive strength. This study investigated whether the addition of fly ash and seawater reduced the drying shrinkage of mortar. From the results, it was found that mortar specimens with 20% fly ash replacement achieved the highest early and late strengths. Partial substitution of fly ash would result to shrinkage in mortar while substitution of seawater to freshwater counteracts the effects of fly ash, thus producing less shrinkage. Fly ash content between 20%-25% combined with seawater produces the least shrinkage value without compromising the minimum required compressive strength.
