Coal Bottom Ash (CBA) is a mineral by-product of thermal power plants obtained from the combustion of coal. In many countries, CBA wastes are identified as hazardous materials. The utilization of CBA can help in alleviating environmental problems; thus, this research was carried out to explore the possibility of its use as cement replacement in concrete manufacturing. Presently, In Malaysia, research that concerns about the use of CBA as cement replacement is very limited. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the properties of CBA as cement replacement and to identify the optimum percentage of untreated CBA as cement replacement. The CBA used in this study were taken from the Tanjung Bin power plant. In this research, the amount of CBA in the concrete mixture varied from 20% to 40% to replace cement. The properties of concrete containing CBA as cement replacement was examined through slump test, sieve analysis, concrete compressive strength test and splitting tensile strength test. The compressive strength test and splitting tensile strength test were performed at 7 and 28 days of curing time. Based on this research, it can be concluded that the optimum percentage of CBA as cement replacement is 25% for a curing time of both 7 and 28 days with the concrete compression strength of 45.2 MPa and 54.6 MPa, respectively. Besides, the optimum percentage for tensile strength is also at 25% CBA for a curing period of both 7 and 28 days with the tensile strength of 2.91 MPa and 3.28 MPa, respectively. 


The addition of fiber in the concrete mixture has proven to increase the tensile strength of concrete for non-structural purposes. Natural materials and easily obtainable can be generally used for non – structural purposes. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of roving fiber addition on the compressive and tensile strength of the no-fines concrete. The results of this study were expected to be an input for the society, especially for the construction materials industry, and can be useful for further research. The test specimens used in this study, for each type of variable, were 3 cylinders for compressive strength test and 3 cylinders for tensile strength test. The volume ratio between the cement and gravel on the mixture was as follows: 1: 5, 1: 6, 1: 7, 1:8, 1: 9. In addition, the length of the roving fibers used in this study was 3 cm. The addition of roving fibers of each mixture was 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10% of the weight of the cement. The results showed that the addition of roving fiber increased the compressive strength and tensile strength of no-fines concrete. The optimal compressive strength was achieved at the 5% addition of fiber roving. Furthermore, the optimal splitting tensile strength of concrete was achieved on the 5% addition of fiber roving.

In construction, concrete durability is an important material globally used in engineering, material of which can be applied in the fields of specialized marine construction. The ingress of chloride into concrete causes deterioration in the concrete due to the reinforcement corrosion. Adding bacteria into concrete can improve material properties and increase durability with mechanism resist chloride ingressed in the concrete . Ingress of Chloride into the concrete of bacteria is particularly suited for applications of chloride ion penetration in concrete. The objective of the research is to determine the effect of adding bacteria into the concrete properties. The bacteria used in this research is locally isolated and enriched to the suite with the concrete environment. The type of the bacteria used is identified as Sulphate Reduction Bacteria (SRB). The SRB added into the concrete mix with concentrations of 3%, 5% and 7%. Whereas, concentration of bacteria water of cement is 0.5. The mechanical properties test conducted with 28th, 56th, 90th, 180th and 360th day of curing period. The test was using cyclic wetting and drying to study the exposure to chloride condition, such as compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural test. Cubes in the size of 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm were prepared for compressive strength test and cylinder 150 mm × 300 mm were prepared for the tensile strength test.

Abstract The paper presents an impact of the addition of industrial machining chips on the mechanical properties of polymer concrete. As an additional filler, six types of industrial waste machining chips were used: steel fine chips, steel medium chips, steel thick chips, aluminium fine chips, aluminium medium chips, and titanium fine chips. During the research, the influence of the addition of chips on the basic parameters of mechanical properties, i.e., tensile strength, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and Young’s modulus, was analyzed. On the basis of the obtained results, conclusions were drawn that the addition of chips from machining causes a decrease in the value of the mechanical properties parameters of the polymer concrete even by 30%. The mechanism of cracking of samples, which were subjected to durability tests, was also explored. In addition, it was found that some chip waste can be used as a substitute for natural fillers during preparation of a mineral cast composition without losing much of the strength parameters.

PurposeThe influence of using magnetic water instead of tap water in the mechanical properties of the concrete exposed to elevated temperatures was investigated. Two concrete mixes were used and cast with the same ingredients. Tap water was used in the first mix and magnetic water was used in the second mix. A total of 48 specimens were cast and divided as follows: 16 cylinders for the concrete compressive strength test (8 samples for each mix), 16 cylinders for the splitting tensile strength (8 specimens for each mix) and 16 beams to test the influences of magnetized water on the flexural strength of concrete (8 specimens for each mixture). Specimens were exposed to temperatures of (25 °C, 200 °C, 400 °C and 600 °C). The experimental results showed that magnetic water highly affected the mechanical properties of concrete. Specimens cast and curried out with magnetic water show higher compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength compared to normal water specimens at all temperatures. The relative strength range between the two types of water used was 110–123% for compressive strength and 110–133% for splitting strength. For the center point loading test, the relative flexural strength range was 118–140%. The use of magnetic water in mixing concrete contribute to a more complete hydration process.Design/methodology/approachExperimental study was carried out on two concrete mixes to investigate the effect of magnetic water. Mix#1 used normal water as the mixing water, and Mix#2 used magnetic water instead of normal water. After 28 days, all the samples were taken out of the tank and left to dry for seven days, then they were divided into different groups. Each group was exposed to a different temperature where it was placed in a large oven for two hours. Three different tests were carried out on the samples, these tests were concrete compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength.FindingsExposure of concrete to high temperatures had a significant influence on concrete mechanical properties. Specimens prepared using magnetic water showed higher compressive strength at all temperature levels. The use of magnetic water in casting and curing concrete can increase the compressive strength by 23%. Specimens prepared using magnetic water show higher splitting tensile strength at all temperatures up to 33%. The use of magnetic water in casting and curing can strengthen and increase concrete resistance to high temperatures, a significant enhancement in flexural strength at all temperatures was found with a value up to 40%.Originality/valuePrevious research proved the advantages of using magnetic water for improving the mechanical properties of concrete under normal conditions. The potential of using magnetic water in the concrete industry in the future requires conducting extensive research to study the behavior of magnetized concrete under severe conditions to which concrete structures may be subjected to. These days, there are attempts to obtain stronger concrete with high resistance to harsh environmental conditions without adding new costly ingredients to its main mixture. No research has been carried out to investigate the effect of magnetic water on the mechanical properties of concrete exposed to elevated temperature. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of using magnetic water on the mechanical properties of hardened concrete subjected to elevated temperature.

In this study, the effects of fiber types on the mechanical properties of lightweight aggregate concretes were investigated. Three types of fibers, namely, polypropylene fiber, steel fiber and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) fiber, and two types of lightweight aggregates, namely, expanded polystyrene and ceramsite were used. The compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of concretes were tested. The results show that both the compressive strength and the splitting tensile strength were improved by adding a reasonable volume of steel fiber and polypropylene fiber into LWAC. The addition of water hyacinth fiber had little effect on the compressive strength of LWAC, while a little increase was observed in the splitting tensile strength.
