The goal of presented research is an assessment of fundamental mechanical properties and resistance to water ingress of concrete with non-cyclic alkanes. Compressive and tensile strength, water absorption capacity and sorptivity of concrete made with and without an admixture of non-cyclic alkanes has been analysed. The paraffin enriched concretes have been made with 1% (C1F and C1C) and 3% (C3F and C3C) volume addition of paraffin wax. The paraffin wax has been used in two grades of comminution: fine (FP) in CxF concretes and coarse (CP) in CxC concretes. A significant (35%) loss of compressive strength of concretes with admixtures has been noticed and no loss in tensile strength was observed. Up to 25% of water absorption capacity reduction and irrefutable (8 times) sorptivity reduction has been also noticed, but only in the case of concrete made with admixture of FP.

Temperature Range

Porous ceramics (bricks) was obtained using red clay, milled fusible cullet, and biowaste in the temperature range 950-1000?C. The high content of water in biowaste eliminates the necessity of introducing water in soft mud forming of bricks. The porosity, water absorption capacity, and mechanical properties of the prepared ceramics depend on content of milled cullet and sintering temperature.

Water Absorption Test

An ice-phobic impregnation composition of cement-concrete roads has been proposed. The composition is based on keratin-containing components with the addition of a water-soluble polymer. The evaluation criterion was the study of the adhesion resistance of ice crust to concrete. The test results showed the effectiveness of the ice-phobic coating since in all experiments the uncoated samples showed greater resistance of the ice crust to thermal influences. The water absorption test results showed a significant difference in the water absorption capacity of the uncoated specimens compared to the coated specimens.

Abstract The problem of pollution is increasing daily due to excessive production and improper disposal of the waste. some waste like ashes and stone powder can be easily utilize in the concrete or with any other construction material like paver block or bricks. To utilize material like marble powder bagasse ash and rice straw effectively the experimental study of Earth compressed bricks is conducted. This paper deals about the mechanical properties of earth compressed bricks which are made up of soil and the add-ons are marble powder, bagasse ash and rice straw fiber with different ratios of combination. This ratios are for marble powder 20%, 30% and 40%. for bagasse ash it is 7% 10% and 13% and for rice straw it is .5%, .75% and 1%. The compression property of bricks is increased when the marble powder is increased with less water absorption in soil because waste marble powder does not absorbs water and due to its fine partical size it fills the voids in the bricks and creates good packing of the bricks. Water is absorbed by Rice Straw and bagasse ash which results in increase of the water absorption capacity of earth compressed bricks.

Biofoam material has been made for application of styrofoam substitute food packaging material from a mixture of raw materials: taro leaf powder and PVAc through a hot compaction method with variations of the composition of taro leaf powder: PVAc (80:20)% wt, (75:25)% wt, (70 : 30)% wt, (65:35) wt%, (60:40) wt%, (55:45)% wt, (50:50)% wt and (45:50)% wt. The first stage of taro leaves was blended and sifted with 100 mesh particle size. The second stage of the leaf powder of taro mixed with wet mixing was then mixed with PVAc as a matrix. The third stage of the homogeneous mixture was then put into the mold then compressed by heat to make it more dense with a pressure of 100 MPa and held for 10 minutes at 60 oC. Each biofoam sample that is ready to be characterized includes: physical properties (density, water absorption, functional groups and biodegredability), mechanical properties (tensile strength, elastic modulus, and elongation) and thermal properties (melting points). The characterization results showed that taro leaf powder: the optimum PVAc was (45: 55) wt% with a density value of 0.744 x 103 kg/m3, water absorption capacity of 1.765%, composed of OH and CH groups of PVAc and cellulose and C = C groups of lignin so that it has degrading properties of 91.2% for 50 days. Mechanical properties with tensile strength of 0.357 MPa, elastic modulus of 1.449 MPa, and elongation of 246.416%. Thermal properties with a melting point of 350.21 oC whose results have met the standards of conventional brand Synbra Technology. The results of biofoam material based on composite taro leaves and PVAc can be applied as food packaging.

Research about the application of modified bentonite as filler in epoxy has been done for the purpose of getting the best composition of modified bentonite as filler at epoxy composite to obtain the best mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength and the water absorption. In this research, epoxy resin mixed with bentonite which have been modified using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant with various concentrations of 0,05M, 0,1M, and 0,15M. Modified bentonite filler and TiO2 then mixed with epoxy resin with various concentration of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of filler from the total mass of the composite and then the composite was produced with hand lay-up method. The result of FTIR characterization showed that the bond between matrix and the filler produced was only interfacial bonding. The result of the mechanical properties test indicated that 5% of filler composition with 0,1M of surfactant concentration obtained the maximum value of tensile strength and mechanical strength respectively 33,667 MPa and 12564,9 J/m2. The result of mechanical properties test was supported by analysis of Scaning Electron Microscopy (SEM). On the test of water absorption, the water absorption capacity increased along with the increased of filler composition.

Cassava flour substitution in the dough preparation often result in dough that is not properly hydrated. The purpose of the research was to determine the proper water volume in making dough from wheat flour and cassava flour mixtures. The research was conducted by analyzing amylograph characteristic and water absorption capacity of wheat flour andcassava flour mixtures. The water absorption was used as a reference to determine the volume of water in the dough preparation of mixed flours. Then, the elongation properties of the doughs were measured. Amylograph data indicated that wheat flour displayed a higher temperatur stability than cassava flour. The more portion of cassava flour, the lower its thermal stability. The water absortion of cassava flour was higher than wheat flour. The increasing of water absorbtion, in line with the increasing of cassava flour portion, which gave a linear trend, R= 0.972. Based on the technique of proportional to water absorption in determine the water volume, the biggest tensile strength of dough was revealed by wheat flour:cassava flour 100:0 and 90:10. However, the highest strain displayed by dough of wheat flour:cassava flour 100:0.Keywords: Water, cassava, dough, amylograph, elongation ABSTRAKSubstitusi tepung singkong dalam pembuatan adonan roti seringkali menghasilkan adonan yang tidak terhidrasi dengan baik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan volume air yang tepat dalam pembuatan adonan dari campuran tepung terigu dan tepung singkong. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menganalisis sifat amilografi dan daya serap air dari campuran tepung terigu dan tepung singkong. Data daya serap air dijadikan acuan dalam penentuan volume air pada pembuatan adonan dari campuran tepung terigu dan tepung singkong. Kemudian dilakukan analisis elongasi adonan. Hasil amilografi menunjukkan bahwa tepung terigu lebih stabil terhadap panas dibanding tepung singkong. Makinbesar porsi penambahan tepung singkong, semakin kecil stabilitas panasnya. Tepung singkong menunjukkan daya serap air yang lebih tinggi dibanding tepung terigu. Peningkatan daya serap air dari campuran tepung, seiring dengan peningkatan porsi tepung singkong, yang memberikan kecenderungan linear, dengan nilai R = 0,972. Berdasarkanteknik proporsional dengan daya serap air dalam menentukan volume air, tensile strength terbesar diberikan oleh adonan dari tepung terigu:tepung singkong 100:0 dan 90:10. Sedangkan strain tertinggi ditunjukkan oleh adonan campuran tepung terigu:tepung singkong 100:0.Kata kunci: Air, singkong, adonan, amilografi, elongasi
