Abstract — Industrial waste products can be considered as renewable resources, one of them is a steel manufacturing, which produced dust waste contain sponge iron, scrap metal and other steel wastes that impacted to environment. This waste material was called Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD). This study investigates the feasibility of using EAFD as a cement replacement compared to silica fume (SF) and fly ash (FA) in terms of Chemical composition, workability, setting time, compressive strength and rapid chloride permeability resistance. The results showed that workability of EAFD is almost similar to control even if percentage of EAFD was increased. It is not refer to FA more workable or SF less workable with increase percentage of replacement. Furthermore, the EAFD significantly affect the setting time, which 3% EAFD replacement bring to prolong final setting time to more than 24 hours, while the setting time of SF and FA did not significant affected along with the increase replacement percentage. In addition, the 3% EAFD is optimum replacement for compressive strength and it is equivalent replacement level to 5% SF and 15% FA. Finally, the EAFD enhance the resistance for rapid chloride permeability more than FA but less than SF.

Background: Investigations on the use of waste clay brick powder in concrete have been extensively conducted, but the analysis of waste clay brick powder effects on cement paste is limited. Materials and Methods: This paper discusses the effects of waste clay brick powder on cement paste. Fragmented clay bricks were grounded in the laboratory using a ball mill and incorporated into cementitious mixes as partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement. Workability, consistency, setting time, density and compressive strength properties of paste mixes were investigated to better understand the impact of waste clay brick powder on the cementitious paste. Four cement replacement levels of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% were evaluated in comparison with the control paste. The chemical and mineral compositions were evaluated using X-Ray Fluorescence and X-Ray Diffractometer, respectively. The morphology of cement and waste clay brick powder was examined using a scanning electron microscope. Results: The investigation of workability exhibited a reduction of slump attributed to the significant addition of waste clay brick powder into the cementitious mixes, and it was concluded that waste clay brick powder did not significantly influence the density of the mixes. In comparison with the control paste, increased values of consistency and setting time of cement paste containing waste clay brick powder confirmed the information available in the literature. Conclusion: Although waste clay brick powder decreased the compressive strength of cement paste, 5% partial cement replacement with waste clay brick powder was established as an optimum percentage for specimens containing waste clay brick powder following curing periods of 7 and 28 days. Findings of chemical composition, mineral composition and scanning electron microscopy of waste clay brick powder demonstrated that when finely ground, fragmented clay bricks can be used in concrete as a pozzolanic material.

Environmental degradation caused by deforestation activities for harvesting of limestone from the hills and its calcination process at cement factory along with disposal of cockle shell waste from fisheries industries is in need of resolution. In view of sustainable green environment, approach of utilizing cockle shell waste as partial cement replacement in cement production would reduce pollution caused by both industries. Thus, this research investigates the effect of cockle shell powder as partial cement replacement on setting time and compressive strength of mortar. A total of five types of mortar mixes consisting different percentage of cockle shell powder as partial cement replacement from 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% by weight of cement were prepared. Setting time test were conducted on fresh paste. All specimens were subjected to water curing until the testing age. Compressive strength test were conducted on hardened mortar cubes at 3, 7 and 28 days. Finding shows that integration of cockle shell powder as partial cement replacement influences the setting time and compressive strength of mortar. Suitable combination of 10% cockle shell powder successfully enhances the compressive strength of mortar. Conclusively, success in transforming the cockle shell waste to be used as partial cement replacement in mortar production able to reduce cement consumption, save landfill usage for trash dumping and promote cleaner environment for healthier lifestyle of community nearby.

Industrial waste products can be considered as renewable resources. Steel industry wastes have a severe impact on the environment whereas this industry involves a myriad of operations which create vast volumes of air emissions, liquid effluents, and solid wastes. This study presents the feasibility of using Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD) as a cement replacement material (CRM) in comparison with silica fume (SF) and fly ash (FA). The EAFD is a complex byproduct material of steel produced by electrical - arc furnace and consisting mostly of metal oxides. The results showed that the workability of the EAFD mixes is comparable to the control mix even when the percentage of the EAFD was increased. On the other hand, as the replacement percentage was increased, the use of FA, SF resulted in higher, lower workability, respectively. Furthermore, the EAFD significantly affected the setting time, where 3% of the EAFD replacement resulted in prolonging setting time reached more than 24 hours, while the use of SF and FA has insignificantly affected the setting time. The 3% of EAFD is found to be the optimum replacement in terms of compressive strength and it has a similar effect to a replacement level of 5% of SF and 15% of FA.

Self-leveling mortar (SLM) has several advantages when compared to the conventional mortar used in subfloors, especially when productivity is desired. In Brazil, the use of SLM is not still widespread related to conventional mortar. Few builders are using it in constructions. In the same way, the sustainable reuse of wastes in building materials is not so great, but it has grown, becoming increasingly important. In Brazil, a great amount of waste is generated by the manufacture of electrical porcelain insulators and red ceramic. These materials are formed mainly by amorphous silicates and aluminosilicates, which when added as cement replacement can generate pozzolanic reactions. The present study evaluated the feasibility of using such wastes to replace cement to make SLM. Mortars were studied in the fresh state (fluidity, segregation and/or bleeding, outflow rate, outflow time, and kinetics of temperature) and in the hardened state (compressive strength, flexural tensile strength, capillary water absorption, water penetration height, and air permeability). According to the results, the cement replacement by porcelain or ceramic in SLM diminishes the flow and increases the setting time. The compressive strength is higher than the minimum related to literature, and the low values of water absorption and permeability were reached with porcelain waste.

This paper discussed the effects of modified metakaolin (MK) with nano-silica (NS) on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. In the first phase, trial mixes of concrete were prepared for achieving the desired value of the 28 days compressive strength, and the charge passed in rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT). In the second phase, statistical analysis was performed on the experimental results using the response surface method (RSM). The RSM was applied for optimizing the mix proportions for the required performance by exploiting the relationship between the mix characteristics and the corresponding test results. A blend of 10% MK + 1% NS as part of cement replacement exhibited the highest mechanical properties and durability characteristics of concrete; concrete mix showed that the 28-days compressive strength (CS) was 103 MPa, which was 15% greater than the CS of the control mix without MK or NS. The same mix showed more than 40% higher flexural and split-tensile strength than the control mix; also it resulted in a reduction of 73% in the rapid chloride permeability value. ANOVA technique was used for optimizing the nano-silica and metakaolin content for achieving maximum compressive strength and minimum RCPT value. Statistical analysis using ANOVA technique showed that the maximum compressive strength and lowest RCPT value could be achieved with a blend of 10% MK and 1.55% NS.

This paper presents the main results of the research carried out to analyse the mechanical properties of concrete incorporating with eggshells waste. The use of eggshells ash in concrete formulations was investigated as an alternative to landfill disposal. The objective of this study is to find the suitability of eggshells ash as cement replacement in concrete. The cement has been replaced by waste eggshells ash accordingly in the range of1% and 2.5%. The eggshell ash passing the 90μm sieve was used in the investigation. By using 1% and 2.5% amount of the waste eggshells ash, water cement ratio were designed which is 0.47, 0.55 and 0.70 and compared in terms of slump and strength with the conventional concrete. The concrete specimens were tested in the series of compression test to determine the strength of concrete for 3, 7 and 28 days. As a result, the additional of eggshells ash to the concrete mix increase the strength of the concrete. In short, the higher percentage of eggshells ash in the mix means a higher compressive strength for the concrete. Hence, it is suggested that eggshells ash can be used as partially cement replacement in concrete.
