This study aims to solve the problems of the high cost, heavy pollution and poor performance of traditional engineered cementitious composites (ECC) by adding modified Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) aggregate, Polypropylene (PP)–Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hybrid fiber and large amount of fly ash. The PVC aggregate is modified by pre-coating silica fume with a PP fiber volume content of 0.5%, PVA fiber volume contents of 1%, 1.5%, and 2%, PVC aggregate contents of 10%, 20%, and 30%, and fly ash volume content of 69%. Different properties and microstructures were studied by carrying out cube compression tests, splitting tensile tests, water absorption tests, drop hammer impact tests, scanning electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance tests. According to the test results, under the same content of PVC aggregate, the use of modified PVC aggregate can, not only effectively avoid the decrease in strength and increase of water absorption, but also improve brittleness and impact failure energy. Regardless of the kind and content of fiber, the compressive strength and brittleness will decrease, while the splitting tensile strength, water absorption, and impact failure energy will increase. After adding 0.5% PP and 1.5% PVA fiber, the performance is ordinary and a negative mixing effect occurs. As more modified PVC aggregate is added, the strength of the ECC concrete with PP–PVA hybrid fiber and modified PVC aggregate added slowly decrease, while the water absorption and impact failure energy increase. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the test data, the reinforcement method of adding 1.5% PVA-0.5% PP hybrid fiber-30% modified PVC aggregate is superior to adding 1.5% PVA fiber, but slightly inferior to adding 2% PVA fiber. This study argues that the reinforcement method is of great significance for the promotion and application of ECC.

Pva Fiber

The influence of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber volume fraction and fly ash content on the creep behavior of high ductility cementitious composites (HDCC) under compression was investigated. For this investigation, the creep behavior of four HDCC groups with cube compressive strength of 30–50 MPa, PVA fiber volume fraction of 1.5% and 2.0%, and fly ash content of 60% and 80% at 7 d and 28 d loading periods, respectively, were evaluated. A compressive creep model, which reflects the loading age and holding time, was established. The results revealed that when the load was applied at 7 d and 28 d, and then maintained for 245 d, the specific creep of HDCC ranged from 95×10-6/ MPa to 165×10-6/ MPa and from 59×10-6/ MPa to 135 × 10−6/ MPa, respectively. The corresponding creep coefficients ranged from 1.48 to 2.25 and from 1.10 to 1.94, respectively. The PVA fiber volume fraction and fly ash content were the main factors affecting the specific creep of HDCC, which increased with increasing fiber fraction and fly ash content. Under short-term loading, the fiber volume fraction played a leading role in the specific creep, and the fly ash content played the leading role during long-term loading. Furthermore, the specific creep and creep coefficient decreased significantly with increasing loading age. The classical creep model described by a power exponent function is suitable for HDCC.

Orthogonal experiments were designed for hybrid fiber rubber concrete (HFRC). The mechanical properties of HFRC were tested and compared with ordinary concrete. The effects of basalt fiber volume ratio (VBF), PVA fiber volume ratio (VPF) and rubber volume ratio (VR) on the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of HFRC were analyzed. The results show that the strength of HFRC is the best when the volume ratio of basalt fiber is 0.3%, the volume ratio of PVA fiber is 0.2% and the volume ratio of rubber is 5%. Basalt fiber has the greatest influence on the strength of HFRC. The strength of HFRC mixed with hybrid fiber is greatly improved, which reflects the good fiber “positive hybrid effect”. With the increase of rubber volume ratio, the strength of HFRC decreases gradually. With the help of SEM and EDS, the toughening and cracking resistance mechanism of the fiber to HFRC was analyzed. Finally, the strength of HFRC was predicted by model.

Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Polypropylene-fiber-reinforced concrete impacts the early shrinkage during the plastic stage of concrete, and the fiber volume content influences the durability-related properties of concrete. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the influence of fiber volume content on the mechanical properties, durability, and chloride ion penetration of polypropylene-fiber-reinforced concrete in a chloride environment. Tests were carried out on cubes and cylinders of polypropylene-fiber-reinforced concrete with polypropylene fiber contents ranging from 0% to 0.5%. Extensive data from flexural strength testing, dry–wet testing, deicer frost testing, and chloride penetration testing were recorded and analyzed. The test results show that the addition of the fiber improves the failure form of the concrete specimens, and 0.1% fiber content maximizes the compactness of the concrete. The flexural strength of specimen C2 with 0.1% fiber shows the highest strength obtained herein after freeze–thaw cycling, and the water absorption of specimen C2 is also the lowest after dry–wet cycling. The results also indicate that increasing the fiber volume content improves the freeze–thaw resistance of the concrete in a chloride environment. Chlorine ions migrate with the moisture during dry–wet and freeze–thaw cycling. The chlorine ion diffusion coefficient (Dcl) increases with increasing fiber content, except for that of specimen C2 in a chloride environment. The Dcl during freeze–thaw cycling is much higher than that during dry–wet cycling.

In this study, SiO2–Al2O3–CaO–MgO steel slag ceramics containing 5 wt % MgO were used for the preparation of ceramic bodies, with the replacement of 5–20 wt % quartz and feldspar by fly ash. The effect of the addition of fly ash on the sintering shrinkage, water absorption, sintering range, and flexural strength of the steel slag ceramic was studied. Furthermore, the crystalline phase transitions and microstructures of the sintered samples were investigated by XRD, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and SEM. The results showed that the addition of fly ash affected the crystalline phases of the sintered ceramic samples. The main crystal phases of the base steel slag ceramic sample without fly ash were quartz, diopside, and augite. With increasing fly ash content, the quartz diffraction peak decreased gradually, while the diffraction peak intensity of anorthite became stronger. The mechanical properties of the samples decreased with the increasing amount of fly ash. The addition of fly ash (0–20 wt %) affected the optimum sintering temperature (1130–1160 °C) and widened the sintering range. The maximum addition amount of fly ash should be 15 wt %, for which the optimum sintering temperature was 1145 °C, water absorption was 0.03%, and flexural strength was 43.37 MPa higher than the Chinese national standard GBT 4100-2015 requirements.

Block made of mud is a building material used in making wall for building that is made fromsand, cement, and fly ash using certain percentage mud in sand. This research aimed to know theeffect of the use of lapindo mud towards the compressive strength, the absorption of block waterwith the mud dosage in sand are: 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. This research was an experimentalresearch; each design was made in size 10x20x40 cm using 5% of fly ash and without fly ash.The result of this research showed that the highest compressive strength was raised in 10%mud in sand with 5% fly ash that was 195 kg/cm2 or increased about 3.44 kg/cm2 within increasingpercentage about 10.651% towards the compressive of block without lapindo mud with 5% of flyash, and was included in class I quality of block. While for the 30% and 40% mud percentage islower compared with normal compressive strength of block. The test result of water absorption oflapindo mud block showed the higher value than 20% for lapindo mud block with 5% fly ash, inframing the mud blocks as the wall, those blocks need to be soaked first because the absorptionvalue of block is higher than 20%. Lapindo mud block without 5% fly ash has bricks water absorptionless than 20%, while in framing those bricks, they don’t need to be soaked because the absorptionof brick if lower than 20%. By using fly ash in mud block, we can get the higher compressivestrength and the lower water absorption.Keyword: Porong Mud, Block, Fly Ash, Compressive Strength, Absorption
