scholarly journals Strength Properties of Concrete using Stone Dust as a Replacement Material for Fine Aggregate

Fine total is one of the significant material in the planning of cement. Concrete is most generally utilized in development materials Major segments of cement are totals which are typically accessible in regular structure. The interest for waterway sand in the development business has therefore expanded because of the broad utilization of cement. The huge scale exhaustion of common sand makes ecological issues, for example, soil disintegration, disappointment of waterway banks, bringing down of stream bed, saline water interruption into the land. To evade these sort of issues and to save common assets fine total utilized in concrete is supplanted by stone residue. Utilization of stone residue in concrete improve the nature of concrete as well as go about as reasonable elective material for common stream sand for who and what is to come. In the present examination a trial program was done to consider the quality and properties of regular solid utilizing stone residue concrete in M45 grade. In view of the test examinations led, it is presumed that the stone residue is best option for the fine total since fine total and stone residue has comparable physical and mechanical properties. It is discovered that 40% supplanting of fine total with stone residue invigorates conspicuous than customary cement.

The long-term property development of fly ash (FA)-based geopolymer (FA−GEO) incorporating industrial solid waste carbide slag (CS) for up to 360 d is still unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the fresh, physical, and mechanical properties and microstructures of FA−GEO composites with CS and to evaluate the effects of CS when the composites were cured for 360 d. FA−GEO composites with CS were manufactured using FA (as an aluminosilicate precursor), CS (as a calcium additive), NaOH solution (as an alkali activator), and standard sand (as a fine aggregate). The fresh property and long-term physical properties were measured, including fluidity, bulk density, porosity, and drying shrinkage. The flexural and compressive strengths at 60 d and 360 d were tested. Furthermore, the microstructures and gel products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that the additional 20.0% CS reduces the fluidity and increases the conductivity of FA−GEO composites. Bulk densities were decreased, porosities were increased, and drying shrinkages were decreased as the CS content was increased from 0.0% to 20.0% at 360 d. Room temperature is a better curing condition to obtain a higher long-term mechanical strength. The addition of 20.0% CS is more beneficial to the improvement of long-term flexural strength and toughness at room temperature. The gel products in CS−FA−GEO with 20.0% CS are mainly determined as the mixtures of sodium aluminosilicate (N−A−S−H) gel and calcium silicate hydration (C−S−H) gel, besides the surficial pan-alkali. The research results provide an experimental basis for the reuse of CS in various scenarios.

This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the physical and mechanical properties of wood-fiber boards of the wet production method when regulating the design and technological parameters of the grinding process. This allowed us to determine the influence of the working clearance between the grinding discs and the concentration of fibre mass with the subject to of quality change wood fiber after defibrator using the developed construction of the disc fibrillation action on the physico-mechanical properties of boards. As a result of the experiment, regression models were obtained that adequately describe the studied grinding process and allow predicting the values of physical and mechanical properties of the finished product depending on the established  parameters process. A comparative analysis of the size and quality characteristics of the fiber semi-finished product and its fractional composition when using a developed construction the disc of refiner fibrillation action and a traditional design used in industry is carried out. The preferential efficiency of the grinding process under the fibrillating effect the disc of refiner in comparison with the traditional construction disc of refiner is established. As a result, there is a significant improvement in the quality indicators of the fiber semi-finished product and its composition due to the formation and predominance in the total mass of long and thin, respectively, flexible fibrillated fibers with high tile-forming properties, which allows to increase the strength properties of the product (by 20–25%), without using binding resins.

Abstract – Sustainability and Unavailability play an important role while we choose material for manufacturing of concrete. Nowadays, both Central and State Govt. have taken legal action on the extraction of sand from the river bed due to the bad impacts on the river like changes the shape, slope of the bed and also in the channel morphology. Due to the implementation of this type of law, legal sand quarries did not able to make balance with the rapid growth of the construction industry. That’s why, to make profit and supply extra needs of sand to the concrete industry “Sand Mafias” involved into the illegal trades of the sand. To counteract these sorts of socio-economic problems, we have to go for an alternative fine aggregate. Though it may not be possible to replace fully, we have to concentrate on the sand being replaced by the high percentage of alternative fine aggregate. Stone dust is a by-product from rock crusher and it can be recycled by using it in the concrete and maintained the sustainability. As stone dust has acceptable properties of fine aggregate sand with regard to shape and texture, it can be thought of as an alternate fine aggregate but research is needed on the extent of sand replacement by stone dust. The present study is done keeping in mind the use of stone dust as high as possible. That’s why two Design Mix have been designed M20 and M25. For M20 grade of concrete sand has been replaced by stone dust 25%, 30% and 35% by volume and the basic strength properties of concrete have been investigated for the above replacements like compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength etc. In case of M25 grade of concrete 30%, 40% and 50% replacement of sand have been done and variation cement content and water-cement ratio has been done by comparing the target mean strength of M25 grade of concrete.

Abstract This study aims to analyze the influence of the incorporation of crushed polyethylene terephthalate as a substitute for fine aggregate in percentages of 10%, 15%, and 20% for the elaboration of concrete blocks. The methodology used is experimental quantitative approach, where the influence of the addition of crushed polyethylene terephthalate as a substitute for fine aggregate for the elaboration of concrete blocks was analyzed to identify the variation in the physical and mechanical properties of samples elaborated under different substitutions and in this way compare with the Colombian standard procedures. The results found in this study indicated that the blocks with the different percentages of polyethylene terephthalate presented a good resistance compared to the block without polyethylene terephthalate, which presented a resistance of 8 MPa. The blocks with polyethylene terephthalate at 10%, 15%, and 20% presented an average resistance of 6.36 MPa, 3.58 MPa, and 4.63 MPa, respectively. Finally, it was analyzed that the blocks with 10% aggregate are waterproof with normal density. In comparison, the blocks with 15% and 20% polyethylene terephthalate have high permeability, with the ability to drain 1 liter of water in 105 s and 38 s, respectively.

Many past studies concerned about using of nanoclay (nC) particles as an active pozzolan to concrete and their influence on the physical and mechanical properties. In this study, the effects of various nanoclay particle sizes and dosages on the compressive and flexural tensile strengths of SCCs were investigated. Progressive nC percentages of 2%, 5% and 8% were replaced with cements and the produced SCCs were evaluated and compared with similar replacement levels of the metakaolin MK which have comparable chemical compositions. The produced SCCs were tested for compressive, flexural tensile and splitting tensile strengths in 28 and 90 days. Results indicated that nC replacement harmed all the studied mechanical properties at 28 days age. After 90 days, however, both compressive and tensile strengths of nC concretes show superior strengths than control concrete and also exceeded MK concretes made of equivalent replacement levels. This behavior demonstrates the pozzolanic activity of the nC particles at later ages and proved to be significantly more effective than early ages.
