The Impact

Abstract The impact of the OPC on the environment is important as its production generates a large amount of CO2. In order to reduce the use of pure raw materials as resources, the use of industrial waste or secondary materials in construction sites for the production of cement and concrete has been encouraged. The volume of wastes generated worldwide has increased over the years due to the population, social and economic performance and social development. One of the most attractive options for waste management is to minimize waste and reuse the possibility of recycling. The cost of cement used in concrete works is increasing and unsatisfactory, but the demand for this material and other housing needs is rising, so it is important to find alternatives that can be used alone or in a partial replacement. In this research work several auxiliary cementitious ingredients such as metakaoline, GGBFS and Rice Husk Ash (RHA) were used to improve the strength properties of the conservative concrete. Metakaolin and GGBFS was used at a fixed percentage of 10 percent as fractional substitution of the OPC-43 grade cement, while the RHA was used at different percent ranging from 0 to 25 percent at an increment of 5 percent in each case as fractional substitution of the OPC-43 grade cement. Numerous examinations were executed so as to envisage the effect of these materials over the strength and engineering properties of the concrete. The test results conclude that the usage of the metakaolin, GGBFS and the RHA in combined form increased the strength and engineering properties of the conventional concrete up to a great extent. From the obtained test results it can be further concluded that the particle size of the supplementary cementitious materials plays a significant role in enhancing the internal micro-structure of the concrete and which further leads to the higher strength of the concrete. Also the main reason behind the advanced strength was the presence of the metakaolin and GGBFS in the concrete, whose chemical properties densifies the concrete and made the concrete more stable and promotes higher strength. Future work can also be done on the usage of several other supplementary cementitious materials at different other percentages so as to improve concrete properties.

Geopolymer concrete is one of the major developments in recent years resulting in utilization of fly ash in huge quantities and eventually reducing cement consumption and ultimately reducing emission of greenhouse gases.The geopolymer concrete is produced by using activated fly ash as binder material instead of cement. Geopolymer concrete accomplishes great strength and looks similar to conventional concrete. Recycled coarse aggregate (RCA )which is coming from demolition of construction of old and existing structures has been used in this study. The durability property; acid attack resistance with partial replacement of coarse aggregate by recycled aggregate in geopolymer and conventional concrete for the different composition such as 10, 20, 30 and 40percentage for a period of 15, 45,75 and 105 days has been evaluated. From the results it was observed that in both natural and recycled aggregate of Geopolymer concrete is highly resistant to acids such as sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid compared to conventional concrete of respective aggregates.

Concrete Production

The increase in the demand for concrete production for the development of infrastructures in developing countries like Ethiopia leads to the depletion of virgin aggregates and high cement demand, which imposes negative environmental impacts. In sustainable development, there is a need for construction materials to focus on the economy, efficient energy utilization, and environmental protections. One of the strategies in green concrete production is the use of locally available construction materials. Scoria is widely available around the central towns of Ethiopia, especially around the rift valley regions where huge construction activities are taking place. The aim of this paper is therefore to analyze the suitability of scoria as a fine aggregate for concrete production and its effect on the properties of concrete. A differing ratio of scoria was considered as a partial replacement of fine aggregate with river sand after analyzing its engineering properties, and its effect on the mechanical properties of concrete were examined. The test results on the engineering properties of scoria revealed that the material is suitable to be used as a fine aggregate in concrete production. The replacement of scoria with river sand also enhanced the mechanical strength of the concrete. Generally, the findings of the experimental study showed that scoria could replace river sand by up to 50% for conventional concrete production.

Day By Day

Permeable concrete is a special concrete which consists of cement, coarse aggregate and water. Due to rapid growth of globalization and urbanization, the construction of concrete roads increasing day by day which leads to decrease in percolation of storm water, surface runoff occurring to the decrease in ground water table. In previous concrete, single sized aggregate is used to maintain the void ratio in the concrete. The cement paste is bonded with aggregate with a void ratio of 20%. In this investigation, concrete of M20 grade with water cement ratio of 0.38 is used. The properties of concrete were increased by using Rice husk ash and Bagasse ash in changed percentages (10%, 20%, 30%) by weight of cement and with the combination of rice husk ash and bagasse ash 10% (5%RA + 5%BA), 20%(10%RA+10%BA), 30%(15%RA+15%BA) are used. The compressive strength of cubes, split tensile of cylinders are casted, tested after 7 days and 28 days. After testing, the optimum percentages of replacement of admixtures are found in the Permeable concrete. Therefore the strength and durability properties of permeable concrete with the addition of bagasse ash and rice husk ash with partial replacement of cement are compared with conventional concrete.

This research assessed the effect of Nigerian rice husk ash (RHA) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) as partial replacement of cement in concrete grade 20. Rice husk ash (RHA) is obtained by combustion of rice husk in a controlled temperature. The replacement of OPC with rice husk ash (RHA) were 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. 1% of Calcium Chloride was blended with OPC/RHA in all the test specimens except from control mix. Concrete cubes of sizes 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were cast and cured in water for 7, 14 and 28 days respectively. Slump test was conducted on fresh concrete while density test and compressive strength test were conducted on hardened concrete. The slump results revealed that the concrete becomes less workable (stiff) as percentage increases. The compressive strength result at 28 days revealed that 5%RHA/1%CaCl2 have the highest strength of 26.82N/mm2 while 20%RHA/1%CaCl2 have the lowest strength (21.48N/mm2). Integration of 5%RHA/1%CaCl2 and 10%RHA/1%CaCl2 as cement replacement will produce a concrete of higher compressive strength compared to conventional concrete in grade 20 concrete.

Aerated Concrete

In today’s world, the implementation of industrial ecology for sustainable industrial development is a common practice in the field of engineering. This practice promotes the recycling of by-product wastes. One of those by-product wastes is rice husk ash. This paper describes an investigation into the effect of rice husk ash (RHA) as a partial replacement for cement, to produce lightweight, aerated concrete. Type I Portland cement, fine aggregate, and aluminum powder as an aerating agent were used in this study. The RHA was used in different replacement levels, i.e., RHA was used to replace cement at 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5% and 15% by weight. Aluminum powder was added during mixing at 0.5% by weight of binder to obtain lightweight, aerated concrete. Test results are presented in terms of physical, mechanical, and durability aspects that include density, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of concrete cured at different curing regimes, i.e., 3, 7, 28, and 90 days along with corrosion analysis, and sulphate attack at 28 days of curing. The test results show that using 10% RHA as a partial replacement of cement in aerated concrete is beneficial in triggering the strength and durability properties of concrete.
