Cement matrices are known from concrete testing. Cement-asphalt matrices made of cement and asphalt emulsion are used in mineral-cement-emulsion mixes (MCEM). The matric strength in MCEM mixtures has not been studied so far. Cement-asphalt matrices with 0/1 mm rubber powder are proposed by the author for use in the MCEM [3, 26]. In this paper the results of the investigation of the mechanical properties of matrices are presented for comparative purposes and for the preliminary evaluation of their suitability for MCEM. The following tests were made: indirect tensile strength, bending strength, compressive strength and rigidity modules in NAT and 4 PB-PR.

Abstract Integrated zonal isolation is well-known as a key parameter for safe drilling operation and well completion of oil and gas wells. An extensive research on alternative materials has been conducted in the past concerning primary cementing, overcoming annular leaks, and permanent well abandonment. The present article focuses on geopolymers, expansive cement, pozzolan based sealant and thermosetting resins. The viscous behavior and the pumpability of the different materials have been investigated and benchmarked with the properties of neat class G Portland cement. The current study includes short-term mechanical properties of the above-mentioned materials. These properties include compressive strength development, Young’s modulus, indirect tensile strength, and sonic strength. The tests are performed in accordance with API 10B-2 and ASTM D3967-16 for all the materials for 1, 3, 5, and 7-day of curing at 90°C and elevated (172 bar) and atmospheric pressures. Our results show a mixed behavior from the materials. According to uniaxial compressive test results, all the candidate barrier materials developed strength during the considered period; however, the geopolymer and pozzolanic-based mixture did not develop early strength. The expansive cement showed an acceptable early compressive strength, but strength reduction was noticed after some time. The strength reduction of expansive cement was also observed for the indirect tensile strength. All the materials become stiffer overtime as they made more strength. For the neat class G cement and expansive cement, the Young’s modulus showed a minimum after 5 days, but it was increased.

This study focused on the properties of the cement asphalt emulsion (CA) mortar. The mixtures of the samples were fabricated and allowed them seven, fourteen and twenty eight days for curing before tested by compressive strength, three points flexural test, and indirect tensile strength to probe into their engineering properties. Hydraulic cement mortar samples used as control are analyzed for comparison. The test results show that the compressive strength is hydraulic cement mortar greater than CA mortar; the flexural strength at curing of 28 days is CA mortar greater than hydraulic cement mortar, however, at curing of 7 and 14 days is hydraulic cement mortar greater than CA mortar; and the indirect tensile strength is hydraulic cement mortar greater than CA mortar. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis results show that the Ca (OH2) increased with increases curing time. The CA mortar samples fabricated needs appropriate water for lubrication. Thus, the water absorption of fine aggregate must be concerned. The emulsion asphalt added too much may reduce the strength. In field test, the CA mortar performs very well, especially in workability.

This study investigated the single and hybrid effects of nanosilica and basalt fiber on mechanical properties, and durability of mortar. Results showed that basalt fiber could remarkably increase the indirect tensile strength, whereas the compressive strength and durability properties were not significantly improved by basalt fiber. However, incorporation of nanosilica in the mortar containing basalt fibers (NSB) could acceptably compensate for this weakness of basalt fiber-reinforced mortar (BF) and remarkably improve not only the compressive strength and durability but also the indirect tensile strength compared to BF samples. According to the best results, samples containing 1% of nanosilica and 0.05% of basalt fiber improved the compressive strength, sorptivity, and water absorption by 37, 48, and 32%, respectively. Moreover, incorporation of 1% of nanosilica and 0.125% of basalt fiber increased the flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, and specific electrical resistivity by 29, 27, and 35%, respectively, compared to the control samples.

This study investigated the combine effect of 0.2 % drink cans and steel fibers with volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3% to the mechanical properties and impact resistance of concrete. Hooked-end steel fiber with 30 mm and 0.75 mm length and diameter, respectively was selected for this study.  The drinks cans fiber were twisted manually in order to increase friction between fiber and concrete. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the strength performance of concrete, especially the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength by 2.3, 7, and 2 times as compare to batch 1, respectively. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete has increase by 7 times as compared to non-fiber concretes. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete consistently gave better results as compared to non-fiber concretes. The fiber reinforced concrete turned more ductile as the dosage of fibers was increased and ductility started to decrease slightly after optimum fiber dosage was reached. It was found that concrete with combination of 2% steel and 0.2% drink cans fibers showed the highest compressive, split tensile, flexural as well as impact strength.

The use of borax solution as a preservative in wood and bamboo materials is well known in the community. A borax solution is an environmentally friendly liquid that can dissolve in water, so it is suitable to be used as a preservative within cold or hot soaking techniques. The ability of borax to resist insects and fungus attacks on bamboo has been proven, but the effect of the solution on the strength of bamboo must also be investigated. This study conducts to investigate the effects of borax and its additives as preservative solutions to the mechanical properties of bamboos. The bamboos preservations were conducted by cold conditions of immersion, while the mechanical properties were performed to understand the effects of preservatives. The result of this study indicated that 30% to 50% borax in the preservative solution is sufficient to provide significant increase in strength for compressive strength, tensile strength, and bending strength of bamboo specimen. From this study, the use of borax solution in preserving the bamboos materials improved the quality of bamboos based on its mechanical properties.
