The increase in the population day by day and urbanization has led to a rapid increase in the construction sector. With the increase in demand in construction, the product types of building materials are increasing. It is seen that wastes are formed during and after the production of the materials used in the building. This highlights studies on waste management and recycling of waste.  After construction activities, wastes are recycled or converted to secondary products. One of these is wood waste, a traditional building material. In addition to the production of wood furniture, it is used in various areas from the beginning of construction to the end of the building. In this study, sawdust, which is the waste of a woodworking company, was used. Utilizing the advantages of wood, recyclable and sustainable cement bonded wood composite production practices have been explored. It is aimed to produce nature and environment friendly, ecological and economic and durable composite materials. In this research, it is aimed to determine the optimum ratio by using different ratios of sawdust-cement while keeping the water-cement ratio constant in production. The specimens taken from the production were exposed to high temperature after gaining strength. The strength results, unit weights and ultrasonic pulse velocity results of cement bonded wood composite samples exposed to high temperature were examined. Although cement bonded wood composites are exposed to high temperatures such as 400°C, it has been observed that strength is achieved. With this study, an alternative area was proposed for the evaluation of these wastes.

The popularity of low cost, lightweight, and environmentally affable masonry unit in building industry carries the need to investigate more flexible and adaptable brick component as well as to retain the requirements confirmed in building standards. In this study, potential use of local materials used as lightweight building materials in solving the economic problems of housing has been investigated. Experimental studies on peat added bricks have been carried out. It demonstrates the physicomechanical properties of bricks and investigates the influence of peat, sand, and cement solid bricks to the role of various types of constructional applications. The achieved compressive strength, spitting strength, flexural strength, unit weight, and ultrasonic pulse velocity are significantly reduced and the water absorption is increased with percentage wise replacement of peat as aggregate in the samples. The maximum 20% of (% mass) peat content meets the requirements of relevant well-known international standards. The experimental values illustrate that, the 44% volumetric replacement with peat did not exhibit any sudden brittle fracture even beyond the ultimate loads and a comparatively smooth surface is found. The application of peat as efficient brick substance shows a potential to be used for wall and a viable solution in the economic buildings design.

High Temperature Effect

By combining wood wastes with various binders, construction materials can be produced. These materials can be used in non-bearing parts such as wall block, insulation panel. In this study, prismatic specimens were taken from the mixtures produced considering the chip-cement ratio as 0.25, 0.5 and 1. The unit weight, ultrasonic pulse velocity, bending and compressive strengths of the specimens were determined by using the results of the experiments on these specimens. In addition, specimens were kept at 200 and 400°C for 3 hours in order to determine its behavior under high temperature, which is one of the most important problems for wood composites. With the experiments carried out on the cooled specimens, weight and strength losses, changes in ultrasonic pulse velocity were examined. As a result of the study, while determining that the chip-cement ratio can be used as 1, it is recommended to use the chip-cement ratio up to 0.5 when the high temperature effect is taken into consideration.

Concrete is the most widely used building material obtained by hardening the mix made of coarse and fine aggregates, cement as the binding material, and water. The basic properties of concrete depend on the quality and properties of cement, w/c ratio and the homogeneity of compaction. Compressive strength is one of the most important properties of concrete. Materials used: Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, 0/4 fraction sand, 4/16 fraction gravel, amorphous alumina silicate admixture, polycarboxylate ether-based superplasticizer Muraplast FK 63.30, and tap water. Five compositions of concrete mixes containing 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% of amorphous alumina silicate admixture by mass of cement were produced. The article analyses the effect of amorphous alumina silicate on the properties of concrete depending on the admixture content. The results revealed that the compressive strength of concrete after 7 days of curing increased by 7.1%, after 28 days of curing increased by 13.3% when the amorphous aluminum oxide doped silicate content was increased to 10%. Amorphous alumina silicate admixture added in quantities of up to 10%, increased the density of hardened concrete by 0.75%, and ultrasonic pulse velocity in specimens with the admixture increased up to 2.63%.

The paper is focused on non-destructive measurement of high temperature degraded concrete test specimens of three mixtures different by the use of coarse aggregate. Testing is done by ultrasonicpulse velocitymethod and Impact-Echo method. Non-destructive results are compared with destructive tests. Ultrasonic pulse velocity, dominant resonance frequency and acoustic impedance are discussed and compared with changes in density, cubic compressive strength, and tensile strength of concrete. The paper suggests possible assessment of degraded concrete by the change in acoustic impedance dependent on residual tensile strength.

Tire Crumbs

Recycling of the waste rubber tire crumbs (WRTCs) for the concretes production generated renewed interest worldwide. The insertion of such waste as a substitute for the natural aggregates in the concretes is an emergent trend for sustainable development towards building materials. Meanwhile, the enhanced resistance of the concrete structures against aggressive environments is important for durability, cost-saving, and sustainability. In this view, this research evaluated the performance of several modified rubberized concretes by exposing them to aggressive environments i.e., acid, and sulphate attacks, elevated temperatures. These concrete (12 batches) were made by replacing the cement and natural aggregate with an appropriate amount of the granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) and WRTCs, respectively. The proposed mix designs’ performance was evaluated by several measures, including the residual compressive strength (CS), weight loss, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), microstructures, etc. Besides, by using the available experimental test database, an optimized artificial neural network (ANN) combined with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) was developed to estimate the residual CS of modified rubberized concrete after immersion one year in MgSO4 and H2SO4 solutions. The results indicated that modified rubberized concrete prepared by 5 to 20% WRTCs as a substitute to natural aggregate, provided lower CS and weight lose expose to sulphate and acid attacks compared to control specimen prepared by ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Although the CS were slightly declined at the elevated temperature, these proposed mix designs have a high potential for a wide variety of concrete industrial applications, especially in acid and sulphate risk.

Mechanical And Microstructural Properties

Old stone buildings constitute a significant percentage of the residential buildings in many countries. These structures are highly vulnerable, and important losses in masonry structures occur even in moderate earthquakes. Therefore, safety evaluations of these structures have gained significant attention in recent years. In this study, the mechanical, physical and microstructural characteristics of tuff samples used in the old buildings were investigated in Battalgazi within the boundaries of Malatya Province during the Seljuk time. The characteristics of the building materials were examined in detail using in-situ and laboratory tests. Because adequate samples could not be obtained from the historical buildings, quarry areas with the same characteristics were identified. First, original building stone (OBS) used in construction was taken from fallen and unusable blocks. Then, the properties of the restoration building stones (RBS) brought from the quarries were investigated. The RBS samples were also examined using in the laboratory, and the mechanical and microstructural properties of the building components were determined. The dynamic and static moduli of elasticity were determined using ultrasonic pulse velocity and uniaxial compression test. The OBS and RBS samples yielded similar results after the microstructural analyses. Our results showed that the dynamic elastic modulus value was higher than the static elastic modulus value. The results revealed by both methods showed that the static and dynamic elastic moduli were closely linked. The OBS and RBS samples exhibited microlitic porphyritic and vesicular textures and nearly the same mineralogical and textural characteristics.

The article analyses the effect of finely crushed glass on the properties of hardened cement paste. Materials used for the test: Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, finely crushed glass (particle size ≤75 µm), and water. Seven compositions of cement paste mixes with different amounts of crushed glass (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%) added by weight of cement were designed. Compressive strength, density and ultrasonic pulse velocity of modified hardened cement paste with different content of crushed glass were measured in the tests. The test results revealed the increase of density, ultrasonic pulse velocity and compressive strength in specimens of hardened cement paste containing 5% and higher percentage of crushed glass after 7, 28 and 56 days of hardening. Microstructure tests revealed that crushed glass had an effect on the microstructure of hardened cement paste after 7 days of curing. X-ray analysis revealed the effect of crushed glass on the physical composition of hardened cement paste hydration products. Hardened cement paste containing 5% of crushed glass by weight of cement was found to have higher strength and density compared to unmodified cement paste.

This study analyses the deterioration of mechanical properties in lightweight concrete after exposure to room temperature (20 °C) and high temperature, i.e., up to 1000 °C, including changes in visual appearance, loss of mass, and compressive strength. All-lightweight shale ceramsite aggregate concrete (ALWAC) and semi-lightweight shale ceramsite aggregate concrete (SLWAC) are prepared using an absolute volume method to analyse the relationships between relative ultrasonic pulse velocity, loss rate of compressive strength, damage degree, and temperature levels. Our results show that, under high temperature, the lightweight aggregate ceramsite concrete performs better compared to normal concrete. After exposure to 1000 °C, the ALWAC shows a strength loss of no more than 80%, while the normal concrete loses its bearing capacity, with a similar strength loss as the SLWAC. Furthermore, the relative ultrasonic pulse velocity and damage degree are used to evaluate the effects of high temperature on the concretes, including the voids and cracks on the surface and inside of the specimens, which induces the deterioration of mechanical properties and contributes to the thermal decomposition of the cementing system and the loss of cohesion at the aggregate interface. Based on internal structure analyses, the results from this study confirm that the lightweight aggregate concrete shows a high residual compressive strength after exposure to the high temperature.
