Abstract. The effect of partial cement replacement with high-activity metakaolin on the strength, frost resistance, shrinkage and abrasion resistance of concrete modified with polycarboxylate admixture MasterGlenium SKY 608. Portland cement CEM II/A-S 42.5 (ПЦ II/А-Ш-500) with partial metakaolin replacement 15 kg (3.75 %) and 30 kg (7.5 %) was used for concrete preparation. The amount of superplasticizer in all studied compositions was 1.2% of cement weight. Slump of concrete mixtures was 6…7 cm. It was found that with increasing amount of metakaolin W/C ratio of mixtures increased slightly. The early compressive and flexural strength (at the age of 2 days) of the composition without metakaolin was higher than similar indicators with partial cement replacement with the active mineral admixture. It is worth noting the positive effect of increasing the metakaolin amount on early strength, because the composition with 30 kg metakaolin had strengths higher at 2 days of in difference to the composition with 15 kg metakaolin. It is necessary to note high frost resistance of all obtained concretes. Its grade of frost resistance reached F200 (evaluated according to the method for road concrete), which is equivalent to the grade F600 for structural concrete. Abrasion resistance was in the low range (0.30-0.31 g/cm2), total shrinkage does not exceed 0.28 mm/m, which in combination with high frost resistance has a positive effect on the durability of concrete mixtures for rigid pavements repair.

Various research in concrete sector has been done as an effort to increase quality of concrete, materials and method, materials technology and implementation techniques obtained from the results of the experiments and experiments are intended to answer the increasing demands on the use of concrete and overcome the constraints that often occur in the implementation of work in the field. One way to increase the strength of concrete is to use a cement replacement that is fly ash.The purpose of this research is to know the influence of partial cement replacement effect with fly ash to the concrete compressive strength, in order to be applicated for rigid pavement in road design. The variations of composition in the addition of fly ash is 0%, 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 20% and 25% of the weight of cement. Concrete compressive strength is 40 MPa and tested at 7 days and 28 days. This research tested concrete with cylinder test object (diameter 150 mm and height 300 mm) with 30 sample and consist of 6 variation. From this research, optimum compressive strength at 10% variation is 30,770 MPa. The lowest compressive strength is in the 25% variation with 20,046 MPa.The highest compressive strength obtained from the research is 30.770 Mpa.

Cement as an essential element for cement-based products contributed to negative environmental issues due to its high energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission during its production. These issues create the need to find alternative materials as partial cement replacement where studies on the potential of utilizing silica based materials as partial cement replacement come into picture. This review highlights the effectiveness of microstructural characterization techniques that have been used in the studies that focus on characterization of calcium hydroxide (CH) and calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) formation during hydration process of cement-based product incorporating nano reactive silica based materials as partial cement replacement. Understanding the effect of these materials as cement replacement in cement based product focusing on the microstructural development will lead to a higher confidence in the use of industrial waste as a new non-conventional material in construction industry that can catalyse rapid and innovative advances in green technology.

The sharply continental climate of the Irkutsk region is characterized by wide temperature intervals throughout the year. The repeated cyclicity of freezing and thawing of building materials in the water-saturated state influences the change in technical characteristics and the durability of concrete products and structures. The concrete products’ features in such climatic conditions create the need for the production of concretes with improved indicators of physical and mechanical properties. The effect of modifying additives on the technological characteristics of sulfur concrete is established. The effect of all elements of sulfur concrete on its strength and frost resistance. The composition of sulfuric concrete is obtained, which meets all the requirements and also has high strength and increased frost resistance. Formulations with a certain ratio of structural sulfuric concrete mixtures were developed. As a result of the use of technical sulfur in the composition of concrete products, the problem of utilizing annually accumulating reserves of technical sulfur is partially solved. The strength properties of sulfuric concretes easily compete with high-quality brands of concrete, special types of concretes that have in their composition additives.

Efflorescence phenomenon on concrete is not new and found in the form of white deposits on surfaces of concrete. Incorporation of Finely Ground Mineral Admixture (FGMA) in concrete to prevent occurrence of efflorescence is based on reduction of portlandite, densified microstructure and thus enhanced watertightness. The magnitude of efflorescence in term of percentage of calcium carbonate formation of FGMA modified mortar were evaluated at water-cement ratio of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 with 10%, 20%, and 30% of cement replacement by weight. The samples were tested with chemical analysis at 7, 14, 21, 28, 60 and 90 days. The FGMA additions into mortar were comparing with ordinary mortar to evaluate enhanced performance of FGMA modified mortar toward efflorescence. The results of this experiment showed that addition of FGMA into mortar caused less formation of calcium carbonate as partial replacement of cement with certain w/c ratio and percentage of cement replacement.

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative construction material in the construction industry. It is a highly fluid and stable concrete that flows under its own weight and fills completely the formwork. The SCC requires high powder content (mainly of cement) up to 600kg/ to achieve its properties. This will be problematic because increasing the cement content is not feasible, and may cause high cost and some other technical problems such as higher heat of hydration and higher drying shrinkage. This paper investigates the effect of limestone powder (LSP) on fresh and hardened properties of SCC due to the use of LSP as a partial cement replacement. For comparison, a control sample of concrete was prepared without LSP to compare it with the various samples containing different percentages of LSP as a partial replacement of cement. Four mixes with a constant amount of (superplasticizer, sand, coarse aggregate, and water) at various replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% from the cement weight were prepared. The experimental results show that the LSP can be effectively used as a partial cement replacement on SCC to reduced cost and enhanced the performance of SCC in fresh and hardened stages.
