AbstractThe experimental program investigated concrete with a large amount of fly ash (FA) with silica fume (SF) to replace Portland cement on the results of semi-adiabatic test, compressive strength test, and the rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT). The replacement ratios of cement by a combination of FA and SF were 30%, 35%, and 40% by mass. The percentages of SF to replace cement were 0%, 4%, and 8% by mass. Three different water-to-binder ratios (W/B) of 0.34, 0.36, and 0.38 were also investigated. Multiple linear regression was applied to construct the predicted equations (models) for the semi-adiabatic temperature rise test and the compressive strength test. Models were assessed statistically and were used to solve the concrete mixture design optimization problems. The mixture with W/B of 0.36, 31% FA, and 5% SF was found to optimally satisfy the multi-objective problem: 28-day compressive strength of 50 MPa, low heat of hydration, and very low chloride penetrability classification. Field test on the actual wind turbine foundation of the optimal mixture revealed the maximum temperature rise was 74.8 °C and the maximum temperature differential was 21.9 °C.

High Volume Fly Ash

To address sustainability issues by facilitating the use of high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete in industry, this paper investigates the early age hydration properties of HVFA binders in concrete and the correlation between hydration properties and compressive strengths of the cement pastes. A new method of calculating the chemically bound water of HVFA binders was used and validated. Fly ash (FA) types used in this study were sourced from Indonesia and Australia for comparison. The water to binder (w/b) ratio was 0.4 and FA replacement levels were 40%, 50% and 60% by weight. Isothermal calorimetry tests were conducted to study the heat of hydration which was further converted to the adiabatic temperature rise. Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to explore the chemically bound water (WB) of the binders. The results showed that Australian FA pastes had higher heat of hydration, adiabatic temperature rise, WB and compressive strength compared to Indonesian FA pastes. The new method of calculating chemically bound water can be successfully applied to HVFA binders. Linear correlation could be found between the WB and compressive strength.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

In construction world concrete plays a vital role, around 60% of structure consists of Concrete. However, the production of Portland cement, an essential constituent of concrete, leads to the release of significant amounts of CO2, depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation. This paper investigates the compressive strength of concrete by replacing cement with GGBS and silica fume effect of glass fibers on performance of concrete is studied. In this present work a humble attempt had been made to evaluate and compare the compressive strengths of GGBS blended concrete cubes with controlled concrete cubes cured under sea water for 28 days. By conducting the tests on the cubes, conclusions were drawn after plotting and analyzing the results. Compressive strength test is conducted on the samples after 28 days. The optimum value is obtained at 15% replacement with GGBS and 5% with Silica fume. In this study again we trailed addition with Glass fibers with the percentage of 0.5%,1.0%,1.5%, compressive strength have been studied. Finally at 1.0% addition we get maximum strength compared to controlled mix.

Fly ash as a pozzolanic waste material can be utilized to substitute part of Portland cement in concrete mixture. The concrete paving industry utilizes the fly ash up to 50% (by weight) of the total binder. This study aims to obtain the characteristics of fly ash applications for pervious concrete. The composition of the binder developed based on the optimal proportion of fly ash from the previous study and the maximum of fly ash percentage used by the local paving industry in general. Other mix variations were made of the same binder composition with the addition of 6% of fine aggregates. The compressive strength of pervious concrete which binder composed of 63% portland cemet composite-25% fly ash-12% silica fume gained at 28 days, was not much different from the compressive strength of the pervious concrete without fine aggregate and with the binder composition of 50% FA-50% PCC and 0% SF. The value of the compressive strength test of the pervious concrete without fine aggregate is still within the range of compressive strength values ​​according to the ACI 522 R-10. The permeability rate of the pervious concrete is in the range of permeability research result of Chopra, 2013 (0.97 ÷ 1.90 cm/sec), but still higher compared to permeability rate gained by Dewoolkar, 2009 (0.83 ÷ 0.98 cm/sec).

Sulfate salts which available in seawater with high concentrations cause the formation of ettringite in hydrated structures which formed as a result of the hydration of cement. On the other hand, ettringite causes excessive volume expansions and eventually leads to cracking of the concrete due to the internal stresses in concrete since it is a large volume mineral structure. In this study, ultrafine cement and silica fume as mineral additive were used together for binder design. Besides, microfiber has been added to the binder systems produced in different proportions. The produced specimens were kept separately in water, in solutions containing 2% Na2SO4 and 2% MgSO4 by weight for 90 days. The compressive strength test was performed at 28th and 90th days on cured specimens. In addition to the compressive strength test, the solution samples were taken from the curing solutions every 10 days and the change of sulfate concentrations was followed in the solutions. According to the results, in Na2SO4 solution higher compressive strength values were observed up to 66 MPa while strength loss was observed in the specimens cured in the MgSO4 solution. In parallel to this result, the remaining concentrations of SO42- ions in the MgSO4 solution were lower than those in the Na2SO4 solution. It was inferred that in Na2SO4 solution, the fibers could compensate for the internal stresses. This situation shows that especially the microfiber additive can compensate for the expansion that will occur as a result of ettringite formation, and thus it can help the mechanical stability of the concrete.

Deinking sludge and coal fly ash are classified as hazardous wastes that have to be treated before disposed in landfill. Solidification is an alternative treatment to prevent hazardous materials release to the environment. The research was conducted to find solidification combination formula of deinking sludge and coal fly ash that pass compressive strength test (>10ton/m2) and paint filter test so it can be disposed to landfill. The concretes were made from cement and aggregate (50% deinking sludge and 50% fly ash) on range combination 1:11 - 1:20. In addition, based on pozzolanic characteristic of fly ash, concretes without cement was made. The results showed that solidification products with combination 1:11 - 1:20 have compressive strength that exceed the regulation and passed paint filter test. Combination of 50% deinking sludge and 50% coal fly ash without portland cement addition had compressive strength that met requirement for landfill disposal.Key words : deinking sludge, fly ash, solidification, landfill ABSTRAKDeinking sludge dan fly ash batubara termasuk kedalam kategori limbah B-3 yang harus diolah terlebih dahulu sebelum ditimbun di landfill.
