The abundant availability of demolition waste from construction industry is leading towards a significant problem of disposal, land and air pollution. The natural aggregate resources are also depleting due to development of construction activities. An attempt is made in this study to convert this waste into wealth by substituting the recycled brick from demolition waste to granite aggregate in production of the concrete. The granite aggregate (GA) is replaced with recycled brick aggregate (RBA) by 25% of its weight to produce M15 and M20 grades of concrete. The granite aggregate concrete (GAC) and recycled brick aggregate concrete (RBAC) were subjected to different temperatures between 100 to 1000oC for a duration of 3 hours and the mechanical properties such as compressive strength and flexural strength were examined to assess its fire performance. The response of RBAC is better than GAC at each temperature. The study revealed that the residual strength increases with the increase in grade of concrete at all temperatures.

Abstract. Recycled aggregate—rural building material wastes pretreated by cement mortar—are applied into concrete with different replacement rates: 0, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Results from measurements of compressive strength, cleavage tensile strength, mass loss after fast freeze-thaw cycles, and compressive strength loss indicate that a different recycled aggregate replacement rate certainly influences concrete mechanical properties and frost resistance. Recycled aggregate replacement rates less than 75% performs better than common concrete. Data from the 100% replacement rate is worse than that of rates less than 75% but still satisfy the general demands of GB standard on C30 concrete.

Today, efforts are underway in a number of areas to conserve the environment and protect natural resource. In the construction industry, many researchers have studied the development of new concrete using recycled aggregate (RA). This research proposes a multiple regression model (MRM) for predicting the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The compressive strength data of 85 specimens of RAC strengths were used for constructing and evaluating the prediction model. The average error rate of the constructed MRM evaluation is 7.18 percent. This result will be useful for predicting the compressive strength of RAC using multiple regression analysis.

In this work it was evaluated the influence tire rubber addition in mortars in order to replace part of the sand (12% by volume). It was also intended to verify if the tire rubber treatment with NaOH saturated aqueous solution causes interference on the mechanical properties of the mixture. Compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, water absorption, modulus of elasticity, and flow test were made in specimens of 5cmx10cm and the tests were carried out to 7, 28, 56, 90, and 180 days. The results show reduction on mechanical properties values after addition of tire rubber and decrease of the workability. It was also observed that the tire rubber treatment does not cause any alteration on the results compared to the rubber without treatment.

From decades it has been recognized that Geopolymer will considerably replace the role of cement in the construction industry. In general, Geopolymer exhibits the property of the peak compressive strength, minimal creep and shrinkage. In this current research paper, Geopolymer mortar is prepared by using GGBS and Fly ash. The mix proportions are of (100-60)%GGBS with Fly ash by 10% replacement. The alkali activators Na0H and Na2Sio3 are used in the study for two different molarities of 4&8. The ratio to Sodium silicates to sodium hydroxide is maintained from 1.5, 2, 2.5 & 3 were used. Mortars are prepared and studied the effect of molarities of alkali activators in their setting times and strengths

Microstructure is an important factor that influences the mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). This paper was devoted to an investigation of the relationship between mechanical properties and porosity, hydrate, microstructure of interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in RAC. The result showed that mechanical properties of RAC can be further enhanced with lower porosity, and there was a good linear relation, whereas it did not exist between compressive strength of RAC and average pore diameter. Fine active particles and the hydrate were formed into the cracked and loose layer of ITZ in RAC by A tripe mixing method (TM). Through SEM observation, it is expected that the compressive strength of the RAC can be improved by modifying the porous microstructure and hydrate in ITZ.

In order to reveal the influence of acidic gas SO2 and CaO etc alkali substances which are contained in industrial furnaces smoke to the strength of PSA fiber, tests are made in different acid and alkali conditions, and the changes of its surface morphology were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that: PSA has better acid corrosion resistance than alkali corrosion resistance. Its acid corrosion resistance is similar to the domestic aramid. PSA is better than Nomex in the concentration of 5% H2SO4. Its alkali corrosion resistance is worse than domestic aramid. The retention rate of breaking strength drop to 60.80% and 69.52% respectively after treated in the concentration of 5% H2SO4 for 48 hours and in the concentration of 5% NaOH for 4 hours. The elongation rate decline to 68.14% and 40.22% respectively, and the elongation rate fell to 68.14% and 40.22% respectively. Therefore, the PSA must be dealt against corrosion when used in strong acid or alkali environment.

The microstructure, mechanical properties and creep behavior of Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloys at different temperatures and stresses have been investigated. Results show that the tensile properties and creep resistance at T6 condition is much higher than that at as-cast condition. The creep resistance of Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy at 250°C/80MPa is markedly better than that at 300°C/50MPa, indicating that temperature makes more effects on the creep resistance than the stress.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the construction industry, the demand for natural river sand has become increasingly prominent. Development of alternatives to river sand has become an interesting direction for concrete research. In this paper, coal gangue was proposed to replace part of the river sand to produce coal gangue fine aggregate concrete, while waste polyethene terephthalate (PET) bottles were used as raw materials to make PET fibers to improve the mechanical properties of coal gangue fine aggregate concrete. There were two parts of the test conducted. In the first part, the compressive strength of the gangue fine aggregate concrete cube, splitting tensile strength, axial compressive strength, and static elastic modulus were studied when the substitution rate of coal gangue increased from 0% to 50%. Referring to the equation of the full stress-strain curve of plain concrete, the stress-strain constitutive equation of coal gangue fine aggregate concrete was analyzed and studied. By comparing with plain concrete, it was found that the coal gangue concrete with a replacement rate of 50% had higher compressive strength and tensile strength, but its brittleness was significantly greater than that of plain concrete in the later stage. In the second part, by studying the effect of different PET fiber content on the mechanical properties of coal gangue fine aggregate concrete with a replacement rate of 50%, it was found that when the addition of PET fiber was 0.1% and 0.3%, not only were compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, static elastic modulus, and flexural strength of the gangue fine aggregate concrete effectively improved but also the brittleness of concrete can be significantly reduced. The study found that after adding 0.3% PET fiber, the coal gangue fine aggregate concrete with a replacement rate of 50% has better mechanical properties and less brittleness.
