Self Compact Concrete

In this work, waste glass powder from broken windows and plastic fibers from waste polyethylene terephthalate bottles are utilized to produce an economical self-compact concrete. Fresh properties (slump flow diameter, slump Flow T50, V. Funnel, L–Box), mechanical properties (Compressive strength and Flexural strength) and impact resistance of self-compact concrete are investigated. 15% waste glass powder as a partial replacement of cement with five percentages of polyethylene terephthalate plastic waste were adopted: 0% (reference), 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.25% and 1.5% by volume. It seems that the flow ability of self-compact concrete decreases with the increasing of the amount of plastic fibers. The compressive strength was increased slightly with plastic fiber content up to (0.75%), about 4.6% For more than (0.75%) plastic fiber. The compressive strength began to decrease about 15.2%. The results showed an improvement in flexural strength and an impact on the resistance in all tested specimens’ content of the plastic fibers, especially at (1.5%) fibers.

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of accelerated artificial aging (AAA) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Filtek Z250, Filtek Supreme, 4 Seasons, Herculite, P60, Tetric Ceram, Charisma and Filtek Z100. composite resins. The composites were characterized by Fourier-transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal analyses (Differential Scanning Calorimetry - DSC and Thermogravimetry - TG). The microstructure of the materials was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Surface hardness and compressive strength data of the resins were recorded and the mean values were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). The results showed significant differences among the commercial brands for surface hardness (F=86.74, p<0.0001) and compressive strength (F=40.31, p<0.0001), but AAA did not affect the properties (surface hardness: F=0.39, p=0.53; compressive strength: F=2.82, p=0.09) of any of the composite resins. FTIR, DSC and TG analyses showed that resin polymerization was complete, and there were no differences between the spectra and thermal curve profiles of the materials obtained before and after AAA. TG confirmed the absence of volatile compounds and evidenced good thermal stability up to 200 °C, and similar amounts of residues were found in all resins evaluated before and after AAA. The AAA treatment did not significantly affect resin surface. Therefore, regardless of the resin brand, AAA did not influence the microstructure or the mechanical properties.

The influence of different cooling regimes (quenching in water and cooling in air) on the residual mechanical properties of ECC (engineered cementitious composites) exposed to high temperature up to 800°C was discussed in this paper. The specimens quenching in water gained better mechanical properties than the ones cooling in air. The strengthening effect of quenching for specimens subjected to 800°C was more significant than for the ones subjected to 400°C. The microstructural characterization is examined before and after exposure to fire deterioration by using scanning electron microscopy. Results from the microtest well explained the mechanical properties variation of postfire specimens.

With the premise of investigating mechanical properties, the thermal conductivity of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is a key index of self-insulation block walls for building energy conservation. This study focused on the effect of pore structures on the mechanical performance and thermal conductivity of AAC with the comparison of AAC base materials. Different kinds of AAC and their base materials were prepared and experimentally investigated. While maintaining a consistent mix proportion of the AAC base material, the pore structure of AAC was changed by the dosage of aluminum power/paste, foam stabilizer, and varying the stirring time of aluminum paste. The steam curing systems of AAC and the base material were determined based on SEM (Scanning Electronic Microscopy) and XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) tests. With almost the same apparent density, the pore size decreased with the increasing content of foam stabilizer, and the mixing time of aluminum paste and foam stabilizer has a great influence on pore size. The thermal conductivity test and compressive test results indicated that that pore size had an effect on the thermal conductivity, but it had little effect on the compressive strength, and the thermal conductivity of sand aeration AAC was 8.3% higher than that of fly ash aeration AAC; the compressive strength was 10.4% higher, too. With almost the same apparent density, the regression mathematical model indicates that the thermal conductivity of AAC increased gradually with the increase of pore size, but it had little effect on the compressive strength. From the test results of basic mechanical properties, the mechanical model of cubic compressive strength, elastic modulus, axial compressive strength, and splitting tensile strength was obtained. The proposed stress–strain relationship model could well describe the relationship of AAC and the base material at the rising section of the curve.

This paper studies the effects of binder and filler composition to the strength properties of non-cement polyester grout (NCPG). The binder consisted of unsaturated polyester resin whereas the filler consisted of fine sand and fly ash. The composition of binder-to-filler ratios investigated were 0.43, 0.67, 1, 1.49, and 2.3. The mechanical properties of NCPG were investigated through flowability and compression tests. The test results show that the use of polyester resin combined with fine sand and fly ash produces good quality grout with high flowable rate, rapid setting, self-consolidating and high compressive strength.

The present study investigates the thermal behaviour of phosphate sludge-based geopolymers. Phosphate sludge which is a by-product from phosphate beneficiation processes was activated using the alkaline fusion method to improve the geopolymer activity of this material. Then, the mechanical properties as well as the thermal behaviour of the resulted geopolymer mortar were studied. The effect of sodium hydroxide addition and fusion temperature on the mechanical properties and the thermal behaviour of the geopolymers were assessed using compressive strength tests before and after thermal shock cycles at different temperatures (350, 500, 650 °C). The mineralogical composition of the fused materials was investigated using XRD measurement and the microstructure of the geopolymer mortars was studied using FTIR. The obtained results showed that NaOH content as well as the temperature of fusion are essential parameters controlling the structure and the strength of the developed geopolymeric gel. Exposure to elevated temperatures up to 650 °C induces a decrease in compressive strength between 58 and 71%. However, a further increase in the temperature of exposure till 800 °C induces a development of compressive strength. Overall, geopolymers with good compressive strength up to 40 MPa could be synthesized in the optimum conditions of fusion: 10% of NaOH and 550 °C.

This paper analyses the effect of hollow corundum microspheres (HCM) on both physical-mechanical properties (density, ultrasonic pulse velocity, modulus of elasticity, and compressive strength) and thermal shock resistance behavior of refractory medium cement castable with bauxite aggregate. Moreover, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results of HCM and refractory castable samples are presented in the paper. It was found that the replacement of bauxite of 0–0.1 mm fraction by HCM (2.5%, 5%, and 10% by weight of dry mix) had no significant effect on the density and compressive strength of castable, while the modulus of elasticity decreased by 15%. Ultrasonic pulse velocity (Vup) values and the visual analysis of the samples after thermal cycling showed that a small amount of HCM in composition of refractory castable could reduce the formation and propagation of cracks and thus increase its thermal shock resistance.

Curing Age

Some researches have been conducted on the application of geopolymer in 3D printing. However, there is no publication about the high-temperature properties of 3D printed geopolymer made from fly ash, slag, and metakaolin. This paper presents the experimental research on the mechanical properties of 3D printed geopolymer after being exposed to elevated empratures. The effects of curing age on high-temperature properties are analyzed. The heating temperasures were 300 °C, 600 °C, and 900 °C, and the holding time was one hour. After exposure to temperatures, the flexural strength of 3D printed geopolymer exhibited different change trends with increasing curing age for different exposure temperatures. Before and after exposure to elevated temperature, the 3D printed geopolymer experienced significant anisotropic compressive strengths. The change trends of compressive strength at different exposure temperatures wit hincreasing curing ages were different from each other on different loading directions.

Unsaturated polyester resin (UPE) was used as a base material and barium titanite nanoparticles (BaTiO3) (50-7-nm) as a support material, with different weight ratios (0.25,0.75,1.25,2 wt%), to prepare a nanocomposite material. The research models were prepared according to the standard specifications and with different thicknesses (≈ 1.1,1.8,2.2,2.7 mm) to show the effect of thickness, number of cycles, percentage of addition and voltage rise rate at (5 kv/s and 0.5 kv/s) on the dielectric strength (Ebr) of the prepared material. The results showed that Ebr decreased with increasing the thickness of the material, BaTiO3 additive rate and the number of cycles. Dielectric strength (Ebr) increases with increasing of voltage rise rate.
