El uso de materiales provenientes de residuos de acero en los talleres de tornerías es de gran importancia en materia ambiental y económica, porque reduce la cantidad de sobrantes, favoreciendo y priorizando el cuidado del medio ambiente y la disminución de materia prima en construcciones civiles. Con el propósito de dar un uso adicional a las virutas de acero obtenidas en las tornerías en la ciudad de Portoviejo se ha desarrollado la investigación para sustituir parcialmente el agregado fino en el hormigón por este material, con la finalidad de obtener alternativas de integración  en  el  proceso  constructivo  y  a  su  vez en  el desarrollo sostenible de la ciudad.La presente investigación está fundamentada en el análisis de la prestación mecánica del hormigón a través de los ensayos de resistencia a la compresión como lo indica la (NTE INEN 1573, 2010), y el de resistividad superficial (AASHTO TP 95-11, 2011), utilizando virutas de acero como agregado fino en sustituciones porcentuales del 5%, 10% y 15%. Se evaluaron las propiedades físicas de los agregados, continuando con la elaboración del diseño de mezclas del hormigón de control y probetas de hormigón con sustitución parcial de virutas de acero, a cada probeta se le realizó el ensayo de resistividad superficial y el ensayo de la resistencia a la compresión en un periodo determinado de 28 días de curado húmedo. Se efectúo la comparación entre el hormigón de control y el hormigón de la investigación. Los resultados revelaron buen comportamiento mecánico del hormigón que contiene proporciones del 5%, 10% y 15% de virutas de acero como agregado fino, sus resistencias superaron la nominal (240 kg/cm2) por lo que es considerable realizar investigaciones futuras con porcentajes superiores.     Palabras clave — hormigón, virutas de acero, resistencia a la compresión, resistividad superficial.   Abstract ─ The use of materials from steel waste in turner’s workshops have a great importance in environmental and economic matters, because it reduces the amount of leftovers, favoring and prioritizing the care of the environment and the reducing of raw material in civil constructions. With the purpose of giving additional use to the steel shavings generated in the turner workshop, the city of Portoviejo has developing a research towards to partially replace the fine aggregate in the concrete with this material, in order to obtain integration alternatives in the constructive process and at the same time create sustainable development of the city. This research is based on the analysis of the mechanical performance of concrete through resistance compression tests as indicated by (NTE INEN 1573, 2010), and resistivity surface (AASHTO TP 95-11, 2011), using steel shavings as a fine aggregate in percentage substitutions of  5%, 10% and 15%. The physical properties of the aggregates were evaluated, continuing with the elaboration of the design of mixtures of the control concrete and concrete specimens with partial replacement of steel shavings, each test was carried out the surface resistivity test and the resistance test to compression in a given period of 28 days of wet cure. A comparison between the control concrete and the research concrete was made. The results revealed good mechanical behavior of the concrete that contains proportions of 5% and 10% and 15% of steel shavings as fine aggregate, its strengths exceeded the nominal (240 kg /cm2) so it is considerable to carry out future research with higher percentages.    Keywords—concrete, steel shavings, compressive strength, surface resistivity.

Cement manufacturing, which is partially responsible for environmental and health risks as well as the greenhouse gas emissions, is a binder industry that needs energy and raw material. To decrease the needing, this study develops nano-modified eco-friendly cementitious composites including industrial solid wastes and/or by-products. For this purpose, ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was partially replaced with 70 wt% of fly ash (FA), Nano metakaolin (NMK) was incorporated at a rate of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 % as partial replacement by weight of FA to take advantage of the great role of nano materials in improving the mechanical and physical properties of cement based materials. Compressive strength, flexural strength, and capillary water absorption coefficient have been studied at 28 days of curing according to the international ASTM standards. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to study the phase composition/decomposition. The microstructure characteristics of the hardened samples were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive analytical x-ray unit (EDAX). The results revealed that the partial replacement of cement by 70% of FA has reduced both compressive and flexural strengths by about 45% in addition; the water absorption has been increased by about 175% as compared to the OPC. The replacement of FA by different amounts of NMK compensate for the loss in strength by about 75%. Furthermore, NMK has considerably improved the microstructure and reduced the water absorption by 86%. The study concluded that, it is possible to substitute 70% of the weight of the cement in the production of eco-friendly cementitious composites with improved mechanical performance attaining 88% of the corresponding performance of the hydrated OPC. The developed composites can be considered as green binders and recommended for various applications in construction industry.

In recent days, there is an intense need for an alternate cost effective and sustainable raw material for concrete which does not make the structure inferior in strength. An experimental study on the utilization of the waste plastic and M-sand in the place of river sand and aggregate partially was performed in paper. In the scenario of scarcity of river sand due to the territorial government action and restriction of usage because of the eco and environmental consideration, M-Sand is found to be an effective replacement and cost effective material. Concrete specimens were casted with combination of M-sand and plastic waste with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and compared against control mix. Cube test for compressive strength study, cylinder test for split tensile strength study and prism test for flexural strength study were done with the proposed concert mixture. All the specimens and tests were done for different curing period of 7, 14 and 28 days. The results obtained from the proposed mix of concrete are compared with the conventional concrete mix specimen respectively. The replacement of fine aggregates reduces the quantity of river sand to be used in concrete and also plastic fibres are proved to be more economical. Positive performance of the concrete with waste plastic and M-Sand as partial replacement of river sand was observed on all the experiments and found optimal in sustainable and economical performance.

Abstract: Pervious concrete is a concrete containing little or no fine aggregate; it consists of coarse aggregate and cement paste. It seems pervious concrete would be a natural choice for use in structural applications in this age of ‘green building’. It consumes less raw material than normal concrete (no sand), it provides superior insulation values when used in walls, and through the direct drainage of rainwater, it helps recharge groundwater in pavement applications. Due to increase in construction and demolition activities all over the world, the waste concrete after the destruction is not used for any purpose which leads to loss of economy of the country. India is a developing country where urbanization is increasing rapidly which in turn leading to increase of drainage facilities. Pervious concrete helps to allow the water flow into the ground due to interconnected pores. Natural aggregate is becoming scarce, production and shipment is becoming more difficult. In order to overcome this problem, there is need to find a by-product, which can be used to replace the aggregate in conventional concrete mix.

Scrap Tires

The rate of waste tire generation globally continues to escalate due to increase in vehicle usage. Scrap tires continue to pose serious environmental, health and aesthetic problems. Due limitation in the recycling of scrap tires, one of the most viable solution is to used crumb rubber from scrap tire as partial replacement to fine aggregate in concrete industry. This is rationalized as the production of concrete hit more than 3.8 billion cubic meters annually, therefore, it could provide a solution on conservation of natural aggregate and as well as improve properties of concrete. However, the major setback in the use of crumb rubber in concrete is loss in strength.  In this paper, crumb rubber was used to partially replaced fine aggregate at 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% by volume in roller compacted concrete for pavement applications to produce roller compacted rubbercrete (RCR) to improve its flexural strength and ductility. Several trials were done to achieve the combined grading as recommended by ACI 211.3R, and finally a combination of 55% fine aggregate, 40% coarse aggregate and 5% fine sand as mineral filler was used. In order to mitigate the effect of strength loss, silica fume and fly ash were used to replace natural fine sand as mineral fillers. The Results showed that fresh density, compressive, splitting and flexural strengths decreases with increase in partial replacement of fine aggregate with crumb rubber. However using silica fume as a mineral filler was successful in mitigating loss in compressive, tensile and flexural strengths for up to 20% crumb rubber replacement level, while fly ash as a mineral filler mitigated loss in strength for up to 10% crumb rubber compared natural fine sand mineral filler. The flexural strength was found to increase with 10% crumb rubber for all type of mineral filler

Concrete is currently the world's biggest consumer product that uses natural resources such as sand, crushed stone, and water. Research is under way today to decrease consumption of these materials, due to the depletion of these natural resources for concretion. The fast building growth in India led to a lack of standard building materials. The amount of concrete used and the accessibility of raw material in a developed country such as India are much lower. Ceramics produce wastes inevitably in the ceramic industry, regardless of improved processes; around 15%-30% of production is waste output. The ceramic industry dumps waste in all surrounding storage or empty regions close to the facility, although reported locations are labelled for discarding. The pollution of the dust and the occupation of a broad area of soil is caused by serious environmental contamination especially after the powder is dry. Ceramic dust is the most important waste from the ceramic industry. This paper investigates concrete strength features through fractional substitution of fine aggregates with ceramic powder. The fine aggregate was partly combined with ceramic powders in the current experimental study for M25 concrete grade. The tests were performed with 10 percent, 30 percent, 40 percent, 50 percent substitution of fine aggregates with ceramic powder by weight and 28 days of strength testing to evaluate the mechanical characteristics i.e.; compression, tension, and flexural behavior. The optimum proportion of ceramic powder addition is evaluated in view of the mechanical requirements of concrete

The World

The most widely used material in the world is concrete, consequently there is a large requirement for raw material of concrete such as Fine Aggregate, Coarse Aggregate and cement. the huge extraction of the aggregate for manufacturing of concrete as serious effect on the environment due to depletion of natural resources and pollution. This affects the eco system to great extent. Hence the project deals with finding replacement for the existing raw material used in concrete by replacing the fine aggregate from river which is largely used in construction by chiton shell. Sea shell is the corpus of the marine organism. The sea shell has been grinded to 4.75mm and then replaced in the concrete. M20 mix was used and cubic specimen were casted for 5 different percentage of partial replacement as 0%, 5%, 10 %, 20%, and 25 %. All the specimens are tested for 7 & 28 days compressive, flexural and split tensile strength. it has been noted that the highest strength is obtained for 25% replacement of chiton shell. it was also observed that  addition of sea shell power in concrete reduced workability hence superplasticizer were added to improve the consistency.

Class F Fly Ash

A shortage of natural fine aggregates has occurred worldwide, especially due to excessive consumption of them in construction activities. For this, the availability of sustainable alternative materials for natural fine aggregate is researched. Fly ash is identified as one such material that can partially replace fine aggregate in concrete. The current study demonstrates the feasibility of using fly ash as a partial fine aggregate replacing material in concrete and its effects on the compressive strength and some significant durability properties when cured under different curing temperatures. Fine aggregate and cement were partially replaced with Class F fly ash in different percentages. The curing methods (used in this study) were isothermal heat curing at 30ºC, 50ºC, and 70ºC, and one-day accelerated heat curing. The compressive strength test, carbonation depth test, rapid chloride penetration test, and surface resistivity test were performed for concrete mixtures with different fly ash replacement levels and curing temperatures. Test results reveal that the use of fly ash as a partial fine aggregate replacing material in concrete gives higher compressive strength than that of concrete with fly ash as a partial cement replacing material at both an early age and a later age. One-day accelerated curing is the most beneficial curing method, regarding the compressive strength at all the tested ages. Moreover, concrete with fine aggregate replacement gives better results for carbonation resistance, chloride penetration resistance, and surface resistivity when compared with the control mixture and mixtures with fly ash as a partial cement replacing material.

The rapid growth of the population leads to a requirement of infrastructure this leads to scarcity of raw material for construction such as cement and sand. The other hand pollution growing due to thermal power plants, granite polishing unit and plastic waste this need to be removed. This gives an idea of using this compound as a raw material in concrete making. This concept found to effective minimizes disposal of fly, granite power and plastic wastes, and leads towards Green Building Concepts. In this investigation of M25 grade normal concrete is made by cement, sand, and aggregate which is tested and compared by special concrete. The concrete mix is prepared as per 10262 -2019 by adding replacing small amount of Fly ash in place of cement OPC 53 grade, and fine aggregate is prepared by partial replacing with granite powder (0%,10%,20%,30%)and another mix is prepared by adding 0.5 nylon fiber, partial replacement of fine aggregate with granite powder (0%,10%,20%,30%)specimens are casted . The casted specimens are tested for split tensile strength and compressive strength 7, 14 and 28 day’s respectively and these results also compared with each other. I t is observed that compressive strength and split tensile of concrete at 28days of curing show max value when compared with normal concrete. When the percentage of granite powder increases to 30% it shows that a decrease in both split tensile strength of concrete and compressive strength. When we added fiber to the concrete there is an increase in compressive strength and split tensile strength but there is a not much increase in compressive strength but increase in split tensile strength

This study aimed to determine the influence of peat water on the mechanical properties of the paving block (compressive strength and water absorption) using coconut shell waste and fly ash as raw material. The background of the research were the lack utilization of fly ash, preparation for the handling and utilization of fly ash from power station at Pulang Pisau and Tumbang Kajuei (under construction), and the utilization of coconut shell to be more effective and economical. Paving block specimens were immersed in peat water to determine the effect of peat water and the rest were immersed in plain water. This experiment used fly ash as a partial replacement of cement and 2% coconut shell as a partial replacement of fine aggregate. The results of the analysis showed that: (a) Paving block using fly ash and coconut shells which were immersed in plain water experienced the increase in compressive strength and the decrease in water; (b) Paving block using fly ash and coconut shells soaked in peat water showed that by the increase of age, compressive strength was decrease and water absorption was increase; (c) The compressive strength of paving block specimens immersed in plain water and peat water showed relatively similar values at 7 and 28 days age, (d). Water absorption in paving block specimens soaked both in plain water and peat water showed relatively similar values at 7 days age, but at 28 days age the specimens immersed in peat water had greater water absorption.
