Significant Point

The natural stones stand at a significant point of human life from the existence of human-life to present time with their durable and persistent features. They have been used as an important construction material until the recent past. Although the production of marble material is widespread in Turkey, the conversion to the final case marble material is not observed prevalently. The aim of this study, the evaluation of the laminated marble material in terms of being used in architecture and the types of the advantages presented by the material are all listed at the end of the research. The results obtained from the architectural coating application carried out to examine the preferable reasons between marble and laminated marble are thought to have advantages in terms of flawless connection details, easy application, transportation and storage processes in comparison to the marble material for the case of coating surfaces with similar quality. The laminated marble material is more durable by the effect of 9 mm porcelain ceramic at the bottom than the traditional marble plate of 3 mm thickness and is nearly 50% lighter than the marble material having the same thickness and sizes with the laminated marble material that is clear that nearly 50% decrease in transportation costs will be expected. When viewed from this aspect, the new construction materials obtained by reconsidering and re-developing the natural materials in accompany with the innovativetechnological methods will contribute easy and eco-friendly to the architectural design-application projects especially in terms of easy application and utilization.

Superior Corrosion Resistance

In construction industries, new construction materials are needed to overcome some problems associated with the use of conventional construction materials due to the change of environmental and social requirements. Accordingly, the requirements to be satisfied in the design of civil engineering structures are diversified. As a new construction material in the civil engineering industries, fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (FRP) has a superior corrosion resistance, high specific strength/stiffness, etc. Therefore, such properties can be used to mitigate the problems associated with the use of conventional construction materials. Nowadays, new types of bridge piers and marine piles are being studied for new construction. They are made of concrete filled fiber reinforced polymeric plastic tubes (CFFT). In this paper, a new type of FRP-concrete composite pile which is composed of reinforced concrete filled FRP tube (RCFFT) is proposed to improve compressive strength as well as flexural strength of an RCFFT. The load carrying capacity of proposed RCFFT is discussed based on the result of experimental and analytical investigations.

As a basic stage for developing new construction material utilizing sewage sludge ash, this study is identified by specific material characteristics through XRD, SEM, uniaxial compressive strength, porosity, and the drying shrinkage by manufacturing mortar with sewage sludge ash. The average drying shrinkage of sewage sludge ash mortar aged 7 days showed 88% of the strain of the one aged 28 days. The porosity of sewage sludge ash mortar was about 7~10%. The more quick lime and blast furnace slag were added, the less porosity appeared.

New Construction

As a new construction material, fiber reinforced polymeric plastic structural shapes are readily available. Therefore, new construction and existing structure rehabilitation using FRP materials are ever increasing trend because of FRP material’s chemical and mechanical properties compared with those of conventional construction materials such as steel and concrete. Among the structural composites, pultruded fiber reinforced polymeric plastic structural members are the most popular for the civil engineering applications because of the cost effectiveness. However, they are made of fiber reinforced polymer resin system, they have relatively low modulus of elasticity and also cross-sections of structural shapes are composed of thin plate components such as flange and web. Therefore, structural stability is an important issue in the design of pultruded structural members. For the design of pultruded structural member under compression, buckling and post-buckling strengths of plate components may be taken into account. In the structural steel design following AISC/LRFD, in addition to the buckling strength, the nonuniform stress distribution in the section is incorporated with a form factor. In this paper, the form factor for the design of pultruded structural member under compression is investigated by experiment. Based on the experimental results, the form factor for the design of pultruded structural shapes have been suggested.

Nowadays in construction development, the needs of construction materials that have a unique reinforced concrete design with good quality, reasonable market price, and easy installation techniques has been prioritized. Therefore, this study aimed to produce an alternative new construction material that can fulfill the requirements. The U-shaped composite spacer block (UCop) through the production of Cement Bonded Particle Board (CBPB) as a specimen block was produced from the wood waste of carpentry work combined with Shorea spp. (Seraya red and white) particle size approximately 0.4mm - 2.00 mm. Then it was mixed together with Portland cement by using a ratio 1:2.5. The mixture was then added with Ammonia Chloride (Al2SO4) and Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) act as additives for this product. The physical and mechanical tests were conducted in this study. The results were showed that the thickness expansion was achieved an average of 1.79 %, which was passed the minimum requirement of MS934:1986 standards. However, the flexural strength did not meet the minimum standards. The poor mixing technique was attributed to the results. However, UCop still could contribute as an alternative solution in ease the concrete pouring process using a special binder, giving the spacer block any resistance to formwork of columns or beams is filled with concrete. The high-impact innovations of this product in construction such as it can help the process to be more efficient and to reduce construction costs, next indirectly preserve the nature.

The use of rapidly renewable raw materials in the building industry is seen as very promising with regard not only to the environmental issues but also to its economic aspects. A number of producers, not only in this country, have been trying to replace fine construction materials with secondary raw materials or rapidly renewable ones. As an example, technical hemp is a very promising material due to its good mechanical and thermal insulation characteristics. One of the possibilities is its use as filling component for non-constructional filling materials. Combining binders on the basis of non-hydraulic lime with hemp chaff yields a range of new construction materials. These products offer excellent work characteristics for permanent, environmentally sustainable buildings. These products as a whole form a natural composite construction material that can be used to build insulation walls, floor and roof insulation layers, and to obtain excellent heat and acoustic characteristics of buildings.

Abstract Ethanol produced from renewable resources is considered as an ecological substitute for a fossil gasoline. Ethanol blended with the fossil gasoline is able to significantly change the properties of the blended fuel as polarity, conductivity, ability to absorb air humidity and ability to dissolve a high percentage of water etc. All these properties are growing with an increasing content of ethanol and all of them can cause higher corrosivity of blended fuel. Material compatibility of metalic construction materials of the vehicle fuel system is also decreased in the environment of ethanol – gasoline blends (EGB’s). Furthermore, components of production, transport and storage equipment may be at risk of corrosion. EGB’s with an ethanol content of about 60% vol. show high corrosive aggressivness, especially if they are contaminated with water and trace amounts of ion, which may occur if proper storage, transport and production conditions are violated. Losses caused by corrosion of equipment may be prevented by using of suitable additive. Diethylenetriamine (DETA) can be used as such additive for the mild steel which is one of the most commonly used construction material. When DETA is used, it shows very high efficiency.
