In this work it was evaluated the influence tire rubber addition in mortars in order to replace part of the sand (12% by volume). It was also intended to verify if the tire rubber treatment with NaOH saturated aqueous solution causes interference on the mechanical properties of the mixture. Compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, water absorption, modulus of elasticity, and flow test were made in specimens of 5cmx10cm and the tests were carried out to 7, 28, 56, 90, and 180 days. The results show reduction on mechanical properties values after addition of tire rubber and decrease of the workability. It was also observed that the tire rubber treatment does not cause any alteration on the results compared to the rubber without treatment.

To improve the mechanical properties of concretes containing recycled aggregates, pozzolanic materials were used to decrease the porosity of the recycled aggregates. These pozzolanic materials were adhered on the surface of recycled aggregates and closed the open pores so that the water absorption was decreased 1~2% as the amount of adsorption was increased. Compressive strength of cement mortars and concretes using surface treated recycled aggregates reaches above 95% of the strength of its natural counterparts. Investigation of the microstructures using the scanning electron micrographs showed the formation of dense interface after the adsorption treatment of pozzolanics to recycled aggregates.

AbstractThis study has determined the fracture mechanical properties of 9 types of rock, namely fine-, medium- and coarse-grained granites, gneiss, quartzite, diabase, gabbro, and fine- and coarse-grained limestones. Test results show among other things that quartzite has the highest compressive strength and fracture energy, while diabase has the highest splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. Furthermore, the strength and fracture energy of the interfacial zone between the rocks and 6 different mortars have been determined. The results showed that, in this investigation, the mortar/rock interfaces are in most cases weaker than both mortars and rocks.

In this study, some experimental investigations on the development of mechanical properties with age of high performance concrete (HPC) incorporated with blast furnace slag with fly ash or silica fume have been reported. Four different blended HPC were prepared in 0.40 water-binder ratio. At every four mixtures, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity at 7 and 28 days have been observed for HPC developments. Consequently, only replacement of silica fume significantly increases the mechanical properties in terms of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity.

To improve the mechanical properties of concretes containing recycled aggregates, pozzolanic materials such as Silica Fume and Meta Kaolin were used to decrease the porosity of the recycled aggregates. These pozzolanic aterials were adhered on the surface of recycled aggregates and closed the open pores so that the water absorption was decreased 1~2% as the amount of adsorption was increased. Compressive strength of cement mortars and concretes using surface treated recycled aggregates reached above 95% of the strength of its natural counterparts. Investigation of the microstructures using the scanning lectron micrographs showed the formation of dense interface after the adsorption treatment of pozzolanics to recycled aggregates.

Abstract: The wollastonite mineral are the main source of solid-state reaction from limestone and silica sand. Wollastonite is used as replacement of both sand and cement depending on size of wollastonite. Present study will provide better understanding of mechanical and durability properties of concrete in which cement is partially replaced with wollastonite. The present paper would contribute to the efforts being made in the field of concrete technology towards development of concretes possessing good strength and durability properties along with economic and ecological advantage. Based on the study, valuable advice will be given for concrete structures. It was found that with increase in amount of wollastonite, in concrete with workability of concrete decreases. It was also found that initial day’s strength is less for wollastonite concrete compare to control mix, but as the age increases they show good improvement in strength due to pozzalanic reaction. Optimum dosage is observed to be 15% WP which shows more strength compared to control mix. Keywords: wollastonite mineral, workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength.

The presence of white soil in a geopolymer mortar affects the physical and mechanical properties of the mortar itself, especially in compressive strength, density and modulus of elasticity produced. Geopolymer mortar composed of fly ash, sand, water, and NaOH which acts as an alkaline activator compared to mortar from the same material, but white soil from Kupang is added as a substitution of fly ash. Specimens are made in six variations. Geopolymer mortar composers using a ratio of 1 binder: 3 sand with w/b of 0.5. Binder composed of fly ash with white soil substitution of 0; 5; 10; 15; 20 and 30% by weight of fly ash. An activator NaOH 8M solution was added to the mixture. Both white soil and fly ash pass of sieve no. 200 with a moisture content of 0%. Mortar made measuring 5x5x5 cm. The mortar was treated by the oven of method at 60 oC for 24 hours until the mortar does not change in weight. The test results show geopolymer mortar with 15% substitution of white soil to fly ash has the highest compressive strength, density and modulus of elasticity among other variations. In all mortar variations, compressive strength at 14 days has reached 75% of strength at 28 days.

Static and dynamic mechanical properties of concrete are affected by temperature effect in practice. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the corresponding influence law and mechanism. This paper demonstrates the variation of mechanical properties of concrete at temperatures from −20°C to 60°C. Temperature effects on cube compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, prism compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and frequency are conducted and discussed. The results indicate that static mechanical properties such as compressive strength (cube and prism), splitting tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity have highly linear negative correlation with temperature; this law is also applied to the first order frequency of concrete slab. The coupling effect of temperature and damage on change rate of frequency reveals that temperature effect cannot be ignored in damage identification of structure. Mechanism analysis shows that variation of elastic modulus of concrete caused by temperature is the primary reason for the change of frequency.

This study examined the effects of using acrylic polymer and micro-SiO2in self-compacting concrete (SCC). Using these materials in SCC improves the characteristics of the concrete. Self-compacting samples with 1-2% of a polymer and 10% micro-SiO2were made. In all cases, compressive strength, water absorption, and self-compacting tests were done. The results show that adding acrylic polymer and micro-SiO2does not have a significant negative effect on the mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete. In addition using these materials leads to improving them.
