Stone Dust

Today’s world is always leads to development in technology as well as the economic growth though sometime these will affect the environment badly. That’s why world environmental commission coined the termed called sustainable development where development takes place without hampering the others’ needs. Concrete industry is rapidly growing industry in India which consumes lots of natural resources during the production of concrete. Here Stone dust is used as a sustainable material in place of sand partially. M25 grade of concrete has been chosen for the experiments. Different mechanical properties of concrete like compressive strength, Split tensile, flexural strength etc. and Microstructural features like SEM, EDX have been included in this study. Compressive Strength and flexural strength test results shown the increase in the strength. Sulphate Resistance Properties have been tested by curing the cubes in the MgSO4 solution and increase in weight has been observed. Similarities are found in the SEM pictures

The objective of this research work was to determine the effect of fiber cocktail on mechanical properties of concrete. Three types of fibers were used namely monofilament polypropylene fiber, steel fiber and glass fiber. Steel and glass fiber were incorporated in concrete at different dosages while the content of Polypropylene fiber was kept constant. For this purpose, cubes (150×150×150mm) and prisms (101×101×508mm) were casted for compressive strength test on cubes and Two-Point load test on prisms. Eighteen different mixes were prepared such as control mix, single fiber concrete, double hybrid concrete and triple hybrid concrete. It was observed that both compressive and flexural strength increased with addition of single, double and triple fibers. However, the strengths of triple hybrid concrete were observed to be lesser as compared to single and double hybrid concrete.

Completely Weathered Granite

Engineering properties of tropical weathered granite mass have been widely investigated and classified for engineering purposes. However, the engineering properties of tropical boulder in weathered granite profile is poorly understood and not well classified. This study aims to examine and classify the physico-mechanical properties of granite boulder in completely weathered zone. A total of 34 in-situ boulders were examined from two granite quarries located in Southern Johor, Malaysia. Microstructure-mineralogical alterations were analyzed based on petrographic analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mechanical properties were including dry density, porosity, point load strength, uniaxial compressive strength and permeability. Three properties were identified as significant indicators to differentiate between tropical boulder and completely weathered granite when it is evaluated from the soil investigation drilling work namely; texture characteristics, discolourations and degree of weathering. Analysis revealed that the alteration of microstructures and minerals such as feldspar, biotite, and plagioclase from corestone (Grade I/II) to saprolite (Grade IV/V) zone were significantly reduced the dry density, point load strength, uniaxial compressive strength and permeability with 32%, 99.5%, 98.6% and 84.8%, respectively. It has also significantly increased the porosity up to 11.6 times or 1065% from corestone to saprolite. The significant different of physico-mechanical properties of material surrounding boulder due to weathering can be classified and useful in evaluation of geotechnical design and geological engineering applications.

In order to use different size of the rock in the site point load tests, select the same site at the scene of specimen do load test research. Through the statistical analysis of 9 groups of the point load strength index data, demonstrates the influence of the test specimen size and shape sample size and shape to rock point load test results, and draws the influence rule of the specimen height to the point load test. The research has the vital significance for underground engineering design and construction.

High Temperature Effect

This paper describes the application of lightweight aggregate (LWA) in the creation of fire resistant composite. The effort of the project is the preparation of a light refractory material with good mechanical properties, which would reach technically economical solutions. We initially chose as lightweight aggregate Liaver, which in combination with chamotte aggregate represent the filler of composite. The following observations were focused on partial replacement of binding components with brick dust and its influence on the mechanical properties of the composite. After design process, test composite specimens were produced to determine hardened properties at standard age. On the 28 day were all the mixtures exposed to 105, 600 and 1000 °C. Lastly, the flexural and compressive strength tests were performed on the composite specimens to identify high temperature effect comparing to strength test results obtained from standard laboratory conditions.
