AbstractThe present study was conducted to investigating interaction of three types of mixing water (tap water, briny groundwater and a mixture of their equal ratio), four levels of cement substitution with zeolite in the concrete mix design (0 %, 10 %, 20 % and 30 %), two levels of cement content (250 and 350 kg·m−3) and seven curing ages (3, 7, 28, 56, 90, 180 and 365 days) on compressive strength of concrete. In order to statistical analysis of data - a means that was not employed in the similar studies - the study was designed as a factorial experiment based on the completely randomized design with 168 treatments and three replications (totally 504 concrete specimens). The results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that neither of the two-, three- and four-way interactions of curing age with other factors were not statistically significant. This means that the gain rate of compressive strength of concrete by time was significantly similar in each possible combination of cement content, water type, and zeolite percentage. However, regarding the significant two- and three-way interactions of other studied factors, more attention should be paid to the results of these interactions than the simple effects of factors. Accordingly, based on the means comparison test (least significant difference: LSD), simultaneous use of unconventional waters with zeolite up to 20 % in the cement content 350 kg·m−3 can be recommended in terms of compressive strength of concrete.

Concrete Mix

Concrete mix design is a complex and multistage process in which we try to find the best composition of ingredients to create good performing concrete. In contemporary literature, as well as in state-of-the-art corporate practice, there are some methods of concrete mix design, from which the most popular are methods derived from The Three Equation Method. One of the most important features of concrete is compressive strength, which determines the concrete class. Predictable compressive strength of concrete is essential for concrete structure utilisation and is the main feature of its safety and durability. Recently, machine learning is gaining significant attention and future predictions for this technology are even more promising. Data mining on large sets of data attracts attention since machine learning algorithms have achieved a level in which they can recognise patterns which are difficult to recognise by human cognitive skills. In our paper, we would like to utilise state-of-the-art achievements in machine learning techniques for concrete mix design. In our research, we prepared an extensive database of concrete recipes with the according destructive laboratory tests, which we used to feed the selected optimal architecture of an artificial neural network. We have translated the architecture of the artificial neural network into a mathematical equation that can be used in practical applications.

The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of the air entrainment on the fresh rheological properties as well as on the compressive mechanical resistances of the mortars. The hardened concrete contains a certain amount of randomly spread air, coming either from a drive during kneading or from the evaporation of the mixing water. The air quantity is in the order of 20 l / m3, ie 2% of the volume. However, the presence of a large volume of air bubbles causes the mechanical resistances to fall in compression. On the other hand, the use of air entrainment could improve the rheological properties of fresh concrete. Experimental studies have been carried out to study the effect of air entrainment on compressive strength, density and ingredients of fresh concrete mix. During all the study, water cement ratio (w/c) was maintained constant at 0.5. The results have shown substantial decreasing in water and mortar density followed with decreasing in compressive strength of mortar. The results of this study has given more promising to use it as a guide for mortar mix design to choose the most appropriate concrete mix design economically.

Pozzolanic concrete has superior properties, such as high strength and workability. The precise proportioning and modeling of the concrete mixture are important when considering its applications. There have been many efforts to develop computer-aided approaches for pozzolanic concrete mix design, such as artificial neural network- (ANN-) based approaches, but these approaches have proven to be somewhat difficult in practical engineering applications. This study develops a two-step computer-aided approach for pozzolanic concrete mix design. The first step is establishing a dataset of pozzolanic concrete mixture proportioning which conforms to American Concrete Institute code, consisting of experimental data collected from the literature as well as numerical data generated by computer program. In this step, ANNs are employed to establish the prediction models of compressive strength and the slump of the concrete. Sensitivity analysis of the ANN is used to evaluate the effect of inputs on the output of the ANN. The two ANN models are tested using data of experimental specimens made in laboratory for twelve different mixtures. The second step is classifying the dataset of pozzolanic concrete mixture proportioning. A classification method is utilized to categorize the dataset into 360 classes based on compressive strength, pozzolanic admixture replacement rate, and material cost. Thus, one can easily obtain mix solutions based on these factors. The results show that the proposed computer-aided approach is convenient for pozzolanic concrete mix design and practical for engineering applications.

In this paper, the effect of seawater on concrete mix was studied. Seawater was fetched from the Red Sea near Port Sudan. Forty eight concrete cubes were prepared using constant water/cement ratio. The first two groups were both mixed with fresh water then cured in fresh water and seawater, respectively. The third and fourth groups were both mixed with seawater but cured in seawater and fresh water, respectively. All four groups were tested for permeability after seven days. Likewise, they were tested after 7, 28 and 90 days for compression strength. Twelve beams and a dozen cylinders were prepared in the same manner and tested after 28 days for both flexural and tension strengths. Slight increase in compressive strength was noticed in specimens mixed with fresh water and cured in seawater at 7 and 90 days, while no vital change was observed at age 28 days. Neither tension strength nor durability were affected with sea water. Nonetheless, flexural strength decreased for those specimens mixed with seawater and cured in fresh water.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

Concrete is a construction material consisting of a mixture of cement, aggregate, water and with or without admixture if needed. Coarse aggregate and fine aggregate serve as the main filler of concrete as well as reinforcement, while the cement and water mixtured serves as a binder between materials. To find out and study the behavior of each of these concrete constituents, it is necessary to know the characteristics of the materials made as constituents of the concrete. This study was conducted with the aim of comparing the most optimum type of coarse aggregate used and the comparison of the use of cement for coarse aggregate of crushed stone and coarse aggregate of gully originating from North Sumatera area, namely from the Wampu River in Binjai City as a concrete mixture to see its effect on compressive strength of concrete at the same concrete characteristics namely f’c 25 MPa. The results of the normal concrete mix design are obtained by using coarse aggregate of crushed stone and coarse aggregate of boulder in different amounts of cement. The coarse aggregate of crushed stone requires more cement with the amount of cement 411.1 kg/m3 than the coarse aggregate of gum with the amount of cement 388.9 kg/cm3.

[ID] Penggunaan konstruksi beton diminati karena beton memiliki sifat-sifat yang menguntungkan seperti ketahanannya terhadap api, awet, kuat tekan yang tinggi dan dalam pelaksanaannya mudah untuk dibentuk sesuai dengan bentuk yang dikehendaki. Tetapi konstruksi beton juga mempunyai kelemahan-kelemahan antara lain kemampuan menahan kuat lentur yang rendah sehingga konstruksinya mudah retak jika mendapatkan regangan lentur. Hal ini menjadikan pengujian kuat lentur beton sebagai persyaratan dalam penerimaan hasil pekerjaan. Namun disisi lain dalam hal pembuatan campuran beton yang selama ini mengacu pada kuat tekan, menjadi tantangan bagi pelaksana yang harus melakukan perencanaan beton (mix design) dan trial mix terlebih dahulu, sehingga perlu dilakukan pengkoreksian. Sehingga penelitian ini bermaksud untuk memperoleh hasil kuat lentur dan kuat tekan beton dengan menghasilkan nilai korelasi kuat lentur beton terhadap kuat tekan beton sesuai kuat lentur dan kuat tekan yang direncanakan maupun disyaratkan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Departemen of Environment (DoE) dalam SNI 03-2834-2000 untuk mix design beton. Perencanaan mutu beton K-500 dan kuat lentur rencana fs = 45 kg/ (4,4 MPa) dengan penggunaan bahan tambah superplaticizer 0,5% merk TanCem 20 RA dengan benda uji balok, silinder, dan kubus, dengan slump rencana 30-60 mm. hasil penelitian bahwa pada perawatan 14 dan 28 hari diperoleh hasil pengaruh terhadap beton tanpa superplaticizer 0,5% dengan beton penggunaan bahan tambahan superplaticizer 0,5% terjadi peningkatan pada perawatan 14 hari dengan benda uji balok sebesar 3,26% dan kubus sebesar 22,25%. Peningkatan pada perawatan 28 hari benda uji balok sebesar 3,36%, silinder sebesar 8,09% dan kubus sebesar 7,56%. Terjadi penurunan pada perawatan 14 hari dengan benda uji silinder sebesar 3,21%. Hasil korelasi kuat lentur dengan kuat tekan beton benda uji balok dan silinder, dari hasil mendapatkan nilai korelasi pada perawatan 14 hari tanpa dan dengan tambahan zat addiktif superplaticizer 0,5% didapat persamaan bahwa fs = K√f'c : nilai K sebesar 0,96 dan 0,87, sedangkan pada perawatan 28 hari tanpa dan dengan tambahan zat addiktif superplaticizer 0,5% didapat persamaan bahwa fs = K√f'c : nilai K sebesar 0,86 dan 0,99, maka dapat disimpulkan dari hasil penelitian ini nilai korelasi kuat lentur beton dengan kuat tekan beton bahwa berhubungan sangat kuat yang mana nilai koefisien korelasi di antara 0,80 sampai 1,00. [EN] The use of concrete construction is desirable because concrete has beneficial properties such as resistance to fire, durability, high compressive strength and in its implementation it is easy to be formed in accordance with the desired shape. But concrete construction also has weaknesses such as the ability to hold low flexural strength so that the construction is easily cracked if it gets a flexible strain. This makes testing the flexural strength of concrete as a requirement in receiving work results. But on the other hand in terms of making concrete mixes which have been referring to compressive strength, it is a challenge for implementers who have to do concrete planning (mix design) and trial mix first, so correction is necessary. So that this study intends to obtain the results of flexural strength and compressive strength of concrete by producing a correlation value of the flexural strength of the concrete to the compressive strength of the concrete according to the flexural strength and compressive strength planned or required. This study uses the Department of Environment (DoE) method in SNI 03-2834-2000 for concrete mix design. Planning the quality of K-500 concrete and planned flexural strength fs = 45 kg / cm ^ 2 (4.4 MPa) with the use of added ingredients 0.5% superplaticizer TanCem 20 RA brands with beam specimens, cylinders and cubes, with slump plans 30-60 mm. The results of the study showed that the treatment of 14 and 28 days obtained the effect of concrete without a 0.5% superplaticizer with concrete using 0.5% superplaticizer was increased in 14 days treatment with beam specimens of 3.26% and cube of 22, 25%. The increase in the 28-day treatment of beam specimens was 3.36%, cylinders were 8.09% and cubes were 7.56%. There was a decrease in 14-day treatment with cylindrical specimens of 3.21%. The results of the correlation of flexural strength with concrete compressive strength of beam and cylinder specimens, from the results of obtaining a correlation value on treatment 14 days without and with additional additives 0.5% superplaticizer obtained the equation that fs = K√f'c: K value of 0 96 and 0.87, while the 28-day treatment without and with additional additives of 0.5% superplaticizer obtained the equation that fs = K√f'c: K value of 0.86 and 0.99, it can be concluded from the results of the study This correlation value of concrete flexural strength with concrete compressive strength is very strongly related where the correlation coefficient value is between 0.80 to 1.00.
