This study is focused on the experimental investigation of compressive strength and durability properties of lightweight concrete mixtures with fine expanded glass and expanded clay aggregates using different microfillers. The paper proposes the relationships between the compressive strength and density of concrete mixtures with different proportions of the lightweight aggregates mentioned above. The performed experimental studies have revealed the tendencies of possible usage of different amounts of fine lightweight aggregates and their combinations in the production of concrete mixtures depending on the demands of practical application. Following the requirements for structural concrete subjected to environmental effects, durability properties (alkaline corrosion and freeze–thaw resistance) of the selected concrete mixtures with expanded glass aggregate were studied. The results of the experimental investigations have shown that durability of tested concrete specimens was sufficient. The study has concluded that the mixtures under consideration can be applied for the production of structural elements to which durability requirements are significant.

Concrete is a major material used in the construction of buildings and structures in the world. Gravel and sand are the major ingredients of concrete but are non-renewable natural materials. Therefore, the utilisation of palm oil clinker (POC), a solid waste generated from palm oil industry is proposed to replace natural aggregate in this research to reduce the demand for natural aggregates. One mix of ordinary concrete as control concrete; while four mix proportions of oil palm clinker concrete were obtained by replacing 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, and 100 % of gravel and sand of control concrete with coarse and fine oil palm clinker respectively by volume, with same cement content and water cement ratio. Compressive strength test was carried out of concretes with different percentages of oil palm clinker; whereas water absorption test according to respective standard, were carried out to determine the durability properties of various mixes. Based on the results obtained, the study on the effect of percentage of clinker on strength and durability properties was drawn. According to ACI classification of light weight concrete only the 100 percentage replacement can achieve the definition of light weight concrete since its density less than 1900 kg/m3 and strength larger than 17 MPa. Eventually the 25 % replacement of the normal aggregate by the OPC will improve the strength and durability of the concrete.

This research is aimed at investigating the effect of elevated temperature, curing duration and curing methods on the strength recovery of lightweight concrete. Concrete specimens were subjected to elevated temperatures ranging from 300 to 600°C in a controlled heating environment. The specimens were subjected to three types of curing conditions: continuous water curing at 27°C, curing in a relative humidity of 95% at 27°C and curing in water at 60°C for three days and then curing in water at 27°C. The curing duration ranged from 7 to 56 days. The results indicated that the re-curing of concrete for the recovery of compressive strength is most effective in the temperature range from 300 to 500°C. For temperatures outside the range of 300 to 500°C, re-curing was either not effective or had limited application.

In the production of Self Compacting concrete (SCC), the use of quaternary blend of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM’s) has not found enough applications. For this purpose, an effort has been done to present a mix design for M60 grade and M80 grade SCC with quaternary blending of fly ash(FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), silica fume (SF) in accordance with EFNARC guidelines. Findings: In this study, cement has been replaced with SCM’s from 30% to 50%. Fresh properties of concrete were tested for slump flow, T50 test and U box. The hardened properties of concrete were tested for compressive strength and durability. The tests were performed for 7, 28, 56 and 91 days. The results indicate that the use of quaternary blend has improved the workability, compressive strength and durability properties of specimens than the control specimen. Application: The primary contribution is to fill the congestedreinforcement and increase the durability and life span of the structure.

AbstractThe feasibility of using kimberlite tailings as aggregates in concrete was assessed. Compressive strength and selected durability tests were carried out on concretes made using various replacement levels (0, 40, 60 and 100%) fine and/or coarse blended crushed andesite and kimberlite tailings as aggregates. A w/b ratio of 0.50 and a CEM I 52.5R were used. The results show that the kimberlite tailings as aggregates have a relatively high water demand which was manifested as a reduction in workability of the fresh concretes with kimberlite tailings as a proportion of either fine and/or coarse aggregates. The results also showed that the use of the kimberlite tailings as a proportion of either fine or coarse aggregates in concrete resulted in a decrease in both compressive strength and durability properties viz water sorptivity and oxygen permeability. This was partly attributed to the low workability of the concretes which is known to limit the degree of compaction of fresh concrete. It is envisaged that careful concrete mix proportioning including the use of admixtures and pre-wetting of the aggregates can be used to offset the negative effects of high water demand of the kimberlite aggregates.
