The Impact

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of polypropylene fibers on fire resistance of concrete. In order to achieve this, concrete mixtures are prepared by using different percentages of polypropylene; 0%, 0.5% and 1%, by volume. The samples are heated to 200, 400 and 600 °C, for exposures up to 6 hours, and tested for compressive strength. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the relative compressive strengths of concretes containing PP fibers were higher than those of concretes without PP fibers. Furthermore, it can be concluded that concrete mixes which are prepared using 0.5% PP fibers, by volume, can significantly promote the residual compressive strength during the heating.

The Impact

Application of recycled aggregates (RA) for concrete production is limited due to their poor quality. While the environmental benefits of using the RA are well accepted, some unsolved problems prevent this type of material from wide application in structural concrete. The research and development of techniques which can minimize the adverse effect of RA on the concrete properties are highly requested. A specific mixing approach can also be helpful; here, mineral additives play a significant role for improvement of RA performance within the mixing process. However, delivery process can influence the homogeneity and uniformity of the concrete mixtures, resulting in negative effect on technical parameters. In this study, the impact of delivery time (0 min, 45 min, and 90 min) on the set of hardened concrete properties is presented while the three-stage mixing is used. Two kinds of additives—fly ash (FA) and recycled concrete powder (RCP)—were tested to coat the coarse fraction of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in the first step of mixing. For comparison, cement as coating material and natural aggregate instead the RCA were also used. The following parameters were tested after 28 days of setting and hardening: density, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, water absorption capacity, and depth of penetration of water under pressure. Generally, 90 min of working with concrete mixtures left no significantly negative influence on tested characteristics. Based on ANOVA results, with prolonged discharge time, the changes in composition of the mixtures become less important for compressive strength, density, and water absorption.

The Impact

The residual compressive strength of a foam core sandwich panel after low-velocity impact was studied by using experimental and analytical methods. The test specimens were compressed uniaxially after they were subjected to a low-velocity-impact. From the observation in the test, one can conclude that the subsequent core crushing around the impact region is the major failure mode in the sandwich structure. A failure criterion named Damage Propagation Criterion was proposed to predict the residual compressive load bearing capability of the low-velocity impacted composite sandwich panel. The characteristic value used in this failure criterion can be calculated by an analytical model developed or by conducting the Sandwich Compression after Impact test.

The infrastructure growth has an impact on reducing green areas, which will be followed by reduced water catchment areas. Porous concrete is one of the porous materials that can be used on a pedestrian walk, which is able to drain water. The porous concrete has a limitation strength. This research aims to determine the effect of using various content of chemical additive and polypropylene fibers for porous concrete mixtures related to the compressive strength and permeability values. This experimental method referring to ACI 522R-10 Standard. That specimens using chemical additives and variations of polypropylene fibers: 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, and 0.25% by weight of cement. The results showed that the specimen which had the highest compressive strength was 16.9 MPa, which was added 0.25% polypropylene fiber. The addition of polypropylene fibers increases the compressive strength value by 5.6%. Based on the compressive strength and permeability graphs, it can be estimated that the optimal content of polypropylene fiber is 0.17% by weight of cement.

The significant increase in the construction of buildings has led to the appearance of different phenomena that affect the elements that make it up. Due to their large area, in contact with the surface, solid slabs are the most vulnerable to these effects. The appearance of cracks at an early age is one of the most recurrent problems in concrete slabs, which is why it is important to counteract the presence of cracks to improve their mechanical properties to obtain buildings with greater durability. For this, the incorporation of polypropylene fibers has become one of the best alternatives to mitigate the appearance of cracks. In the present investigation, two concrete mixtures reinforced with polypropylene fibers of two lengths will be evaluated and tested for slump, plastic shrinkage, compressive strength and residual flexural strength.

The Impact

The article presents a comparative analysis of the impact of the addition of steel and polypropylene fibers on the properties of the concrete mixes and hardened concrete used in the concrete floor industry. The behavior of concrete intended for floors is different from conventional structural concrete because it is formed horizontally; until now, the effect of steel and polypropylene fibers on the properties of concrete formed horizontally has not yet been fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this article is to examine this issue and compare the behavior of concrete modified with steel and polypropylene fibers in concrete that is formed horizontally. The following properties of fresh concrete mixes were analyzed: consistency, the content of air-voids, and bulk density. Consequently, the following properties of hardened concrete were analyzed: compressive strength, bending tensile strength, and brittleness. It was confirmed that steel and polypropylene fibers have a different type of effect on the properties of fresh concrete mixes and hardened concrete. Finally, a combined economic and mechanical analysis was performed.

AbstractThe residual compressive strength of eight lightweight concrete mixtures containing three commercial grading (Liapor HD 5 N, Liapor HD 7 N, and Liapor 8F) of coarse lightweight aggregate (LWA) were determined after to expose at high temperatures. Eight mixes were produced, two by normal weight aggregate and the rest by different types of LWA. The produced concrete was analyzed after high temperature exposure and the effect of using LWA, the type of LWA, and compaction method was studied. To do so, visual inspection, residual compressive strength, crack pattern, spalling, and thermoanalytical analysis were conducted. Generally, it could be concluded that concrete formulations with LWA behave more advantageous up to 500 °C, compared to those with quartz gravel aggregates. Moreover, this study found that an ideal type of LWA to produce structural concrete was Liapor HD 5 N, which was used for producing the mixes L1 and L3.

The Impact

Development of the Korean small scale aircraft (KC-100) has been carried out by KAI (Korea Aerospace Industry Ltd.) for the BASA(Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement) program with FAA. The KC-100 aircraft adopted the environmental friendly whole composite structure concept due to low fuel consumption owing to its light weight. However the composite structure has a disadvantage. They are very weak against impact damage due to FOD (Foreign Object Damage). This study is to investigate the residual compressive strength of the carbon/epoxy fabric and UD (Unidirectional prepreg tape) laminate due to impact damages. This residual compressive strength test follows fully the ASTM standard test procedure. Experimental investigation results reveal the residual strengths and the damage mode and size of impact damage specimens. Through these tests, it is found that the residual strength of the impact damage specimens is greatly reduced in comparison to the undamaged specimens depending on increase of both the indentation depth and the impact energy. The size and shape of damage zone greatly affects the reduction of the compressive strength.

The Impact

This study investigated the combine effect of 0.2 % drink cans and steel fibers with volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3% to the mechanical properties and impact resistance of concrete. Hooked-end steel fiber with 30 mm and 0.75 mm length and diameter, respectively was selected for this study.  The drinks cans fiber were twisted manually in order to increase friction between fiber and concrete. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the strength performance of concrete, especially the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength by 2.3, 7, and 2 times as compare to batch 1, respectively. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete has increase by 7 times as compared to non-fiber concretes. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete consistently gave better results as compared to non-fiber concretes. The fiber reinforced concrete turned more ductile as the dosage of fibers was increased and ductility started to decrease slightly after optimum fiber dosage was reached. It was found that concrete with combination of 2% steel and 0.2% drink cans fibers showed the highest compressive, split tensile, flexural as well as impact strength.
