Silicon is the main element in the composition of glass and it has been seen that it can be used as a partial replacement for cement in the manufacture of concrete. Different dosages of glass powder and cement were applied to manufacture the concrete mixes. Initially, the characteristics of fresh concrete were studied, such as consistency, air content, apparent density and workability. Secondly, compressive strength tests were performed on the different concrete mixtures produced. The consistency tests allowed us to classify these concretes within the group of fluids. The air content of these concretes increased with the rate of substitution of cement by glass powder, resulting in lighter concretes. Density tests showed that this parameter decreased as the rate of substitution of cement increased. A coefficient k has been calculated for the substitution of glass powder by cement in the binder, using the Bolomey formula. Also, a mathematical model has been proposed to further analyze the experimental data. Major contributions of this work were to study the possible application of this concrete in different dispersions as a surface protection layer against the action of corrosion, in wind turbine foundations as well as the stabilization of the wind farm roads.

Partial Cement Replacement

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative construction material in the construction industry. It is a highly fluid and stable concrete that flows under its own weight and fills completely the formwork. The SCC requires high powder content (mainly of cement) up to 600kg/ to achieve its properties. This will be problematic because increasing the cement content is not feasible, and may cause high cost and some other technical problems such as higher heat of hydration and higher drying shrinkage. This paper investigates the effect of limestone powder (LSP) on fresh and hardened properties of SCC due to the use of LSP as a partial cement replacement. For comparison, a control sample of concrete was prepared without LSP to compare it with the various samples containing different percentages of LSP as a partial replacement of cement. Four mixes with a constant amount of (superplasticizer, sand, coarse aggregate, and water) at various replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% from the cement weight were prepared. The experimental results show that the LSP can be effectively used as a partial cement replacement on SCC to reduced cost and enhanced the performance of SCC in fresh and hardened stages.

The use of SCC has a particular interest in terms of sustainable development. Indeed, their specific formulation leads to a greater volume of dough than for common concretes, thus, a larger quantity of cement. However, for economical, ecological and technical reasons, it is sought to limit their cement content [1]. It is therefore necessary to almost always use mineral additions as a partial replacement for cement because the technology of self-compacting concretes can consume large quantities of fines, in this case calcinated mud issued from dams dredging sediments that can give and/or ameliorate characteristics and performances of this type of concretes. Four SCCs had been formulated from the same composition where the only percentage of calcinated mud of Chorfa (west of Algeria) dam changed (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%). The effect of calcinated mud on characteristics at fresh state of SCC according to AFGC was quantified. Mechanical strengths and shrinkage deformation (total, autogenous, drying) were evaluated. The results show the possibility to make SCCs with different dosages of calcinated mud having strengths that can defy those of the control SCC. The analysis of free deformations indicates the beneficial impact of the mud by contributing to decrease the amplitudes of the shrinkage compared to those of the control SCC.
