Utilization and suitability of bottom ash in Portland cement have been increasing significantly in recent year. Bottom ash has substantial effects on mechanical properties with different composition of replacement in mixture of bottom ash and Portland cement. Bottom ash was used to determine the feasibility of the substitution as recycling product from industry depending on the percentage of the bottom ash. On the other hand, bottom ash offers a better solution for maintaining materials characteristic of Portland cement mortar and also provide beneficial mechanical performance. The result of using bottom ash in Portland cement mortar showed that it could make better the mechanical properties and hence disposed bottom ash wastes safely in technical, economic and environmental methods.

Abstract Application of nano-materials in cement products significantly, improves their properties. Of course, the effectiveness of the materials depends on their quantity and the way they are introduced into the system. So far, amongst nano-materials used in construction, the most preferred was nano-silica. This research investigated the effect of synthetic precipitated nano-silica on the cement hydration as well as, on the physical and mechanical properties of pastes and mortars. Obtained results showed that admixture of nano-silica enhanced flexural and compressive strength of cement after 2 and 28 days, however, only when admixture made up 0.5% and 1.0%. On the other hand, the use of nano-silica in the amount 2% had some limitations, due to its ability to agglomerate, which resulted in deterioration of the rheological and mechanical properties.

Portland cement concretes were prepared by adding different igneous materials from west central Mexico. The results of the mechanical testing of these materials show the feasibility of employing igneous minerals to produce concretes and mortars, provided a careful control of granulometry and the geochemistry involved is attained. The mechanical performance, as well as the workability of the slurries can be managed by the convenient use of commercial additives (i.e. water reducers and aging accelerators). These results open the attractive possibility of expanding the natural sources of concrete-forming elements.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo determinar la influencia de la adición del dióxido de titanio (TiO2) en el mortero de cemento Pórtland Tipo I. La investigación es descriptiva, correlacional, explicativo, con diseño experimental, longitudinal, prospectivo y estudio de cohorte. Se elaboró una mezcla patrón y tres mezclas de mortero con 5%, 7.5% y 10% de contenido de TiO2 como reemplazo del volumen de cemento para las propiedades autolimpiantes se realizó el ensayo de rodamina e intemperismo. La incorporación de dióxido de titanio disminuyó la resistencia a la compresión, incrementó la fluidez y tasa de absorción de agua; la prueba de rodamina dio que el mortero sin actividad fotocatalítico no contenía TiO2 porque no cumple con los factores de fotodegradación R4 y R26. Mediante la exposición de paneles al intemperismo favoreciendo la propiedad autolimpiante de los morteros con adición de TiO2 (5%).

Abstract We examined mechanical and morphological properties of fully transcrystalline polypropylene grown from the surface of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) sheets. Comparison of mechanical properties between transcrystalline and spherulitic polypropylenes demonstrated that Young’s modulus is dependent on the crystallinity and independent of the supermolecular structure. On the other hand, the mechanical yielding process was predominantly affected by the supermolecular structure, and the mechanical energy required for yielding of transcrystalline sheets was greater than that of the spherulitic morphology. In addition, it was found that mechanical necking is required for the alignment of lamellae in the stretching direction. This means that the unfolding process of lamellae orienting in the stretching direction is associated with necking and ductility.

To fight against the high cost and the increasing scarcity of cement and at the same time to reduce the CO2 greenhouse gases emission associated with the production of Portland cement, two types of wood ashes as a substitute of cement in the production of concretes were investigated. In this paper, we substituted cement by two types of species of wood ashes namely, avocado and eucalyptus ashes following the proportions ranging from 0% to 30 % on one hand, and on the other hand, we added these two types of species of wood ashes namely, avocado and eucalyptus ashes following the proportions ranging from 0% to 10 % by weight of cement in the concrete samples. After 7, 14 and 28 days of curing, compressive strength tests were conducted on these concrete samples. The findings revealed that using wood ashes as additives/admixtures or as a substitute of cement in the production/manufacturing of concrete decreased the compressive strength of concrete. Hence, it can be said that wood ash has a negative influence on the strength of concrete. At three percent (3%) and ten percent (10%) of addition, the wood ash from eucalyptus specie offers better resistance compared to the wood ash from avocado specie, whereas at five percent (5%) of addition, the wood ash from avocado specie offers better resistance compared to the wood ash from eucalyptus specie. At thirty percent (30%) of substitution, the wood ash from eucalyptus specie offers better resistance compared to the wood ash from avocado specie. The compressive strengths increase with the increase of curing age.

ABSTRACT Portland cement is extensively used as a binder in concrete production. However, with Portland cement production, 5% of the natural resources used in this production are consumed, constituting 5–7% of the total CO2 emission. In order to mitigate the environmental problems associated with cement production, styrene-butadiene rubber latex was used as cement replacement up to 20%. In this study, compressive strength, flexural strength, unit weight, water absorption, open porosity, water sorptivity and the chloride ion permeability of Portland cement mortar mixtures modified by styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) polymeric latex were investigated. For this purpose, the sand/cement ratio and the water/cement ratio were kept constant as 3/1 and 0.5, respectively. In addition to the control mixture containing no polymer, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 20 wt.% of cement was replaced with SBR. In this way, seven mortar mixtures were prepared. Mixed curing (wet cure and dry cure) method was applied to the mortar specimens. Results showed that up to a 5% replacement level, it is possible to improve the mechanical properties of cement mortars with SBR latex addition. However, at a 10% and 20% replacement level, SBR had a significant detrimental effect on the mechanical properties of polymer modified mortars. However, the transport properties decreased with the incorporation rate of SBR latex and the detrimental effect of SBR replacement was more pronounced in 20% SBR mortar mixtures.

Abstract It is only during recent years that it has become possible by the use of new technic to detect molecular phenomena produced in the mechanical deformation of substances. As far as metallic substances are concerned, and crystalline substances in particular, the problem has already been solved for the most part. On the other hand, in spite of considerable progress during recent years the study of the deformation of organic substances and of fibers in particular, in which group rubber is included, has not yet been carried on. The mechanical properties of a crystalline system vary according to whether there is a single crystal or an aggregate of crystals. However, in both cases the extensibility of the products originates in a displacement of parallel layers, i. e., a sliding of the parts of the crystal along definite crystalline planes, this phenomenon of sliding being irreversible in these substances. In fact, in these cases the reversible part of the elongation is very weak, and amounts to only a few thousandths of the entire phenomenon. In brief, the phenomena of hardening brought about by deformation (sometimes observable) are due to disturbances of the regular lattice. In particular, the displacement of the atom and the change from its normal position can cause the appearance of irregularities on the surface of sliding.

Double sided friction stir butt welds on 6 mm thick of 5083 aluminum alloy were produced. Two variants of the weld side combination, different weld side (DS) and same weld side (SS), have been made to investigate the effect of the weld side on mechanical properties.The SS is a double sided welding process that produces advancing side in one plate and retreating side in the other one. On the other hand, the DS is a double sided welding process that causes advancing side and retreating side in each plate. Tensile properties of the joints were evaluated and correlated with macrostructure and hardness. The weld side influenced the macrostructure and mechanical properties of welded joints. The different weld side (DS) had better mechanical properties than the same weld side (SS).

Grey iron alloyed with molybdenum and niobium in seven different compositions has been casted using three, in industrial components viable, solidification times which resulted in 21 different samples. The samples have been investigated with respect to microstructure, static properties and thermo-mechanical fatigue performance. It was found that the solidification time is very important for both the static and thermo-mechanical performance. If the solidification time is long the properties are controlled entirely by the large graphite flakes and there is no influence of the alloying elements. On the other hand if the solidification time can be kept short the need for alloying elements may be removed. For the shorter solidification times an influence from the matrix and thus the alloying elements can be seen. It was found that molybdenum enhances TMF-life while no such effect was found for niobium. Niobium, on the other hand, has a larger effect on static strength than molybdenum and also on the cyclic stress in the thermo-mechanical fatigue experiments.

Bis-3,4- dimethyldibenzylidene sorbitol (DMDBS); bis-p-methylbenzylidene sorbitol (MDBS) and the mixture of DMDBS/MDBS (50/50) were studied through optical, thermal, mechanical properties and surface morphology. With the same amount of additive (DMDBS/MDBS mixture and DMDBS) in the material, the results are similar. On the other hand, using an additive mix reduces the cost of production due to MDBS. Furthermore, the additive mixture is used without producing odours. Therefore, the mixture of DMDBS/MDBS (50/50) is chosen.
