Performance of plain concrete with partial replacement of coarse aggregate by rubber chips derived from the waste tire is taken into consideration and an attempt is made to investigate the influence of rubber size on strength, workability, and durability. Four different size ranges of tire chips such as 4.75-9.5 mm, 9.5-12.5 mm, 12.5-19 mm, and 19-25 mm are used to replace stone aggregates of corresponding sizes. A 7.5% replacement of coarse aggregate is made each time. Concrete of three different grades such as C20/25, C25/30, and C30/35 are considered. For every concrete grade, compressive strength is reduced with the addition of tire chips, but less strength loss is observed for the smaller-sized tire chips. Therefore, the best size is found to be 4.75-9.5 mm yielding a compressive strength 8.33%-18.48% (for different concrete grades) lower than that of corresponding control specimens. The workability of each mix based on slump value is found to increase with larger tire chip size. The durability inspection by acid curing reveals that 4.75-9.5 mm rubber performs best with a minimal strength reduction of 8.99%-16.38% as compared to the same specimen subjected to conventional water curing. Strength degradation is found to be more severe in the cases of the control specimen with lower strength.

Disposal of plastic bottles made from Poly-Ethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a worldwide problem. Green concrete, made with one or more recycled items, is also a trendy concept in the sustainable construction sector. The current study is to investigate the possibility of using recycled PET waste bottles as a partial replacement of natural coarse aggregate in green concrete to get marginal effective compressive strength and workability. Two different sizes of PET fiber such as 10mm*10mm and 19mm*19mm are used. Four different replacement percentages such as 0% (control), 1%, 5%, and 10% of coarse aggregate are adopted with a fixed water-cement ratio of 0.42. A total of 42 cylindrical specimens are prepared and conventional water curing is done for 7 days and 28 days. Compressive strength for control specimen (0%) after 7 days and 28 days curing is found as 39.96 MPa and 53.42 MPa respectively. On the other hand, the compressive strength of specimens with 10mm*10mm plastic fiber is found to be 22.40 MPa, 16.14 MPa & 11.83 MPa after 7 days curing and 38.48 MPa, 25.81 MPa & 20.08 MPa after 28 days of curing for 1%, 5%, and 10% replacement of coarse aggregate respectively. For 19mm*19mm plastic fibers, these values are 21.22 MPa, 7.99 MPa & 4.29 MPa after 7 days of curing and 35.82 MPa, 11.36 MPa & 7.03 MPa after 28 days of curing for the same percentages. The findings of the study may serve as a guideline for deciding the replacement percentage and fiber size for preparing PET-based green concrete.

Abstract A huge amount waste (approximately 60%) is generated during mining and processing in marble industries. Such waste can be best utilized in infrastructure development works. Coarse aggregate 75% by weight was replaced by aggregate obtained from marble mining waste. The impact of marble waste as a partial replacement for conventional coarse aggregate on the properties of concrete mixes such as workability, compressive strength, permeability, abrasion, etc. was evaluated. The test results revealed that the compressive strength was comparable to that of control concrete. Other properties such as workability of concrete increased, water absorption reduced by 17%, and resistance to abrasion was marginally increased by 2% as compared to that of control concrete. Ultrasonic pulse velocity and FTIR results show improvement in quality of concrete with crushed marble waste. From the TGA analysis it was confirmed that, aggregate produced from marble waste shows better performance under elevated temperature than that of conventional aggregates.

Adhesion Process

Properties of coarse aggregate such as texture have a significant influence on the performance of fresh and hardened concrete. A smooth surface can enhance workability, yet a rougher one offers a stronger bond between aggregate and paste, resulting in higher strength. This research aims to roughen the texture of white smoothed aggregate by using cement-iron filings mortar with the aid of microwave maturation to accelerate the adhesion process of mortar-aggregate surface. The mortar was prepared by mixing an equal weight of cement and iron filings, of a particular size, with sand. Four different periods (2, 4, 6 and 8 mints.)  of microwave treatment in addition to water curing were considered plus one reference mortar which cured in only air for 24 hrs. The treated aggregate was then used for casting concrete specimens with a w/c ratio of 0.5 in which their properties being determined by means of density, compressive and tensile strengths observations. The main findings revealed that the concrete specimens contained microwave treated aggregate attained higher compressive strength compared with those treated in the air. Data also showed that concrete specimens with microwave treated aggregate possess better tensile properties as a consequence of the improvement in the transition zone.

To manage tyre waste and conserve natural aggregate resource, this research investigates the use of waste tyre rubber as partial replacement of fine aggregates in non-structural concrete. The research used Taguchi method to study the influence of mix proportion, water-to-cement ratio and tyre rubber replacement percentage on concrete. Nine mixes were prepared with mix proportion of 1:2:4, 1:5:4 and 1:2.5:3; water-to-cement ratio of 0.25, 0.35 and 0.40 and rubber to fine aggregate replacement of 20%, 30% and 40%. Compressive strength and water absorption tests were carried out on 100 mm cubes. Compressive strength was directly proportional to the amount of coarse aggregate in the mix. Water-to-cement ratio increased the strength within the range used in the study. Strength was found to be more sensitive to the overall rubber content than the replacement ratio. Seven out of the nine mixes satisfied the minimum strength requirement for concrete blocks set by ASTM. Water absorption and density for all mixes satisfied the limits applicable for concrete blocks. The study indicates that mix proportions with fine to coarse aggregate ratio of less than 1.0 and w/c ratio around 0.40 can be used with tyre rubber replacements of up to 30 % to satisfy requirements for non-structural concrete.

This paper reports the findings on an experimental investigation of the effect of partial replacement of coarse aggregate with ceramic waste on strength properties of concrete. Compressive strength tests were conducted using 150x150x150mm cube specimens, while tensile strength was investigated using 150x300mm cylinder specimens. Results of tests show that workability, density, compressive and flexural strength of concrete decreased with increase in ceramic waste content. The compressive strength at 90 days curing age for the control sample was 24.67 N/mm2. Compressive strength values at 90 days curing age for  25%, 50% and 75% replacement levels were 21.78 N/mm2, 19.85 N/mm2and 17.85 N/mm2 respectively. The decrease in density and strength was due to ceramic waste being lighter and more porous than normal coarse aggregate. Tensile strength of concrete with ceramic waste decline gradually from 8.39 N/mm2 to 6.13 N/mm2 for the control and 75% replacement samples respectively. This could be attributed to the water absorption capacity and external porcelain nature of the waste material. A production cost savings of 10.7% for 1:2:4 concrete mix was noted at 75% replacement level. This study concludes that ceramic waste could be used for both structural and non-structural works and recommends that beyond 75% replacement level, ceramic waste material should not be used in concrete structures where strength is the major consideration. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.5

Steel slag is made at 1500- 1650°C having a honey comp shape with high porosity. Using steel slag as the natural aggregate with a lower waste material cost can be considered as a good alternative for sustainable constructions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of residual mechanical properties of concrete with steel slag as coarse aggregate partial replacement after exposing to high temperatures .This study investigates the behavior of using granulated slag as partial or fully coarse aggregate replacement with different percentages of 0%, 15%, 30%, 50% and 100% in concrete when subjected to elevated temperatures. Six groups of concrete mixes were prepared using various replacement percentages of slag exposed to different temperatures of 400 °C, 600 °C and 800 °C for different durations of 1hr, 1.5hr and 2hr. Evaluation tests were compressive strength, tensile strength, and bond strength. The steel slag concrete mixes showed week workability lower than control mix. A systematic increasing of almost up to 21.7% in compressive strength, and 66.2% in tensile strength with increasing the percentage of steel slag replacement to 50%. And the results showed improvement on concrete residual mechanical properties after subjected to elevated temperatures with the increase of steel slag content. The findings of this study give an overview of the effect of steel slag coarse aggregate replacement on concrete after exposed to high temperatures.

Waste Tire Rubber

With the increasing number of vehicle due to the boom of population and rapid modernisation, the management of waste tire is growing problem. Reusing grinded tire rubber in concrete is a green innovation which provide an outlet for reusing waste tire. While providing certain benefits to concrete, incorporation of tire rubber results in significant loss of concrete compressive strength which hinders the potential of rubberised concrete. This paper aims to develop mathematical models on the influence of tire rubber replacement on the compressive strength of concrete using design of experiment (DoE). 33 data sets are gathered from available literature on concrete with waste tire rubber as partial replacement of fine aggregate. Response surface methodology (RSM) model of rubberised concrete compressive strength shows great accuracy with coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9923 and root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 2.368. Regression analysis on the strength index of rubberised concrete shows that rubberised concrete strength loss can be expressed in an exponential function of percentage of replacement. The strength loss is attributed to morphology of rubber particles and the weak bonds between rubber particles and cement paste. Hence, tire rubber replacement should be done sparingly with proper treatment and control to minimise concrete strength loss.
