Geopolymer concrete, also known as an earth-friendly concrete, has been under continuous study due to its environmental benefits and a sustainable alternative to conventional concrete construction. The supplies of many source materials, such as fly ash (FA) or slag (SG), to produce geopolymer concrete (GPC) may be limited; however, quarry rock dust (QRD) wastes (limestone, dolomite, or silica powders) formed by crushing rocks appear virtually endless. Although significant experimental research has been carried out on GPC, with a major focus on the mix design development, rheological, durability, and mechanical properties of the GPC mixes; still the information available on the structural behavior of GPC is rather limited. This has implications in extending GPC application from a laboratory-based technology to an at-site product. This study investigates the structural behavior of quarry-rock-dust-incorporated fiber-reinforced GPC columns under concentric and eccentric loading. In this study, a total of 20 columns with 200 mm square cross-section and 1000 mm height were tested. The FA and SG were used as source materials to produce GPC mixtures. The QRD was incorporated as a partial replacement (20%) of SG. The conventional concrete (CC) columns were prepared as the reference specimens. The effect of incorporating quarry rock dust as a replacement of SG, steel fibers, and loading conditions (concentric and eccentric loading) on the structural behavior of GPC columns were studied. The test results revealed that quarry rock dust is an adequate material that can be used as a source material in GPC to manufacture structural concrete members with satisfactory performance. The general performance of the GPC columns incorporating QRD (20%) is observed to be similar to that of GPC columns (without QRD) and CC columns. The addition of steel fibers considerably improves the loading capacity, ductility, and axial load–displacement behavior of the tested columns. The load capacities of fiber-reinforced GPC columns were about 5–7% greater in comparison to the CC columns. The spalling of concrete cover at failure was detected in all plain GPC columns, whereas the failure mode of all fiber-reinforced GPC columns is characterized with surface cracking leading to disintegration of concrete cover.

Concrete is a mixture of aggregates and binders. From concrete ingredients, the binder and the costliest and environmental-unfriendly element is cement, which is an ecological unsociable process due to the discharge of CO2 gas into the atmosphere and ecological degradation. Coffee husk (CH) has been considered as a category of agriculture by-product; as its quantity rises, the disposal of it is becoming an environmental problem. Hence, this study investigated the suitability of coffee husk ash (CHA) as a partial replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in conventional concrete production. Initially, CH samples were collected from different coffee treatment centres. The CHA was then ground and its chemical and physical properties were investigated using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer method. After that, the pastes containing OPC and CHA at different levels of replacement were investigated. For this purpose, six different concrete mixes with CHA replacement 0, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 15% of the OPC were prepared for 25MPa conventional concrete with water to cement ratio of 0.5 and 360 kg/m3 cement content. The results of the study show that, up to 10% replacement of OPC by CHA achieved advanced compressive strength at all test ages, i.e. 7, 14, and 28 days of age using compressive test machine.

Concrete Production

The increase in the demand for concrete production for the development of infrastructures in developing countries like Ethiopia leads to the depletion of virgin aggregates and high cement demand, which imposes negative environmental impacts. In sustainable development, there is a need for construction materials to focus on the economy, efficient energy utilization, and environmental protections. One of the strategies in green concrete production is the use of locally available construction materials. Scoria is widely available around the central towns of Ethiopia, especially around the rift valley regions where huge construction activities are taking place. The aim of this paper is therefore to analyze the suitability of scoria as a fine aggregate for concrete production and its effect on the properties of concrete. A differing ratio of scoria was considered as a partial replacement of fine aggregate with river sand after analyzing its engineering properties, and its effect on the mechanical properties of concrete were examined. The test results on the engineering properties of scoria revealed that the material is suitable to be used as a fine aggregate in concrete production. The replacement of scoria with river sand also enhanced the mechanical strength of the concrete. Generally, the findings of the experimental study showed that scoria could replace river sand by up to 50% for conventional concrete production.

In recent days, there is an intense need for an alternate cost effective and sustainable raw material for concrete which does not make the structure inferior in strength. An experimental study on the utilization of the waste plastic and M-sand in the place of river sand and aggregate partially was performed in paper. In the scenario of scarcity of river sand due to the territorial government action and restriction of usage because of the eco and environmental consideration, M-Sand is found to be an effective replacement and cost effective material. Concrete specimens were casted with combination of M-sand and plastic waste with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and compared against control mix. Cube test for compressive strength study, cylinder test for split tensile strength study and prism test for flexural strength study were done with the proposed concert mixture. All the specimens and tests were done for different curing period of 7, 14 and 28 days. The results obtained from the proposed mix of concrete are compared with the conventional concrete mix specimen respectively. The replacement of fine aggregates reduces the quantity of river sand to be used in concrete and also plastic fibres are proved to be more economical. Positive performance of the concrete with waste plastic and M-Sand as partial replacement of river sand was observed on all the experiments and found optimal in sustainable and economical performance.

As human societies grow, the problem of waste management becomes one of the pressing issues that need to be addressed. Recycling and reuse of waste are effective waste management measures that prevent pollution and conserve natural resources. In this study, the possibility of using glass waste as an alternative was used as a partial weight substitute for fine aggregates with replacement ratios of 10, 20, 30, and 40% by the weight, and formed into test models (15 cm * 15 cm ) cube and (15 cm * 30 cm) cylinder, then matured and tested their strength compression and tensile strength at the age of 7 and 28 days and compared with a reference or conventional concrete with a mixing ratio (1: 1.5: 3) as well as testing its workability on fresh concrete. The results showed the possibility of using crushed glass wastes in concrete as a good alternative to fine aggregates, up to 30%. The compressive strength and tensile strength results at this ratio were 92.6% and 80.86% at the age of 28 days, respectively.
