Cement Strength

This research investigated the influences of rubber content and water-cement ratio on the compressive strength of roller compacted rubberized concrete (RCR). The mix design of RCR was made by replacing same volume of sand with rubber chips based on the control concrete mix. Four rubber contents (50 kg/m3, 80 kg/m3, 100 kg/m3 and 120 kg/m3) and six water-cement ratios (0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50 and 0.55) were used. The specimen cubes were tested in compression at 28d with the load continuously and automatically measured until failure. Test results show that RCR exhibits low compressive strength but a ductile and plastic failure mode, the more the rubber used, the more the compressive strength reduced and the larger toughness obtained. Same as normal concrete, the compressive strength of RCR is also directly related to the water-cement ratio，the smaller the water-cement ratio, the higher the compressive strength. Based on the experimental results, a strength formula was developed to estimate the strength of RCR as a function of the cement strength, water-cement ratio and the rubber content.

In the present contribution, the water-cement-density ratio law for the standard curing 28-day compressive strength of cement-based materials including grout, normal concrete, ceramsite concrete, and foamed concrete is proposed. The standard curing 28-day compressive strength of different grouts, normal concrete, ceramsite concrete, and foamed concrete was tested. Simulations for Abrams’ law, Bolomey’s formula, and water-cement-density ratio law were carried out and compared. The water-cement-density ratio law illustrates better simulations for the prediction of the 28-day compressive strength of cement-based materials. The water-cement-density ratio law includes both the water-cement ratio and relative apparent density of the cement-based material. Relative apparent density of the cement-based material is an important one of all the factors determining the compressive strength of the cement-based material. The water-cement-density ratio law will be beneficial for the precise and generalized prediction of the 28-day standard curing compressive strength of cement-based materials.

Waste rubber tires that cannot be processed for useful applications are numbered in the millions around the world. The build up of old rubber tires in landfills is commonly considered a major threat to the environment, and it is unquestionably a burden on landfill space. This research project was an investigation into the possibility of using fine rubber particles in concrete mixtures. The experimental testing program was designed to study the effect of the addition of crumb rubber, as replacement of a portion of fine aggregates (sand), on the strength of concrete. Rubber was added to concrete in quantities of 5%, 10%, and 15% by volume of the mixture. Three different water/cement ratios were used: 0.47, 0.54, and 0.61. A total of 180 concrete cubes were made. The cubes were tested in compression at 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 d with the load continuously and automatically measured until failure. The load values were used to calculate compressive stress as related to different rubber contents and water/cement ratios. Compression test results were used to develop several plots relating rubber content and water/cement ratio to compressive stress of concrete. Test results gathered in this research project indicated that the addition of crumb rubber to concrete results in a reduced strength as compared with that of conventional concrete. Based on the experimental results, correlations have been developed to estimate the reduction in concrete strength as a function of the rubber content in the mix.Key words: compressive strength, concrete, crumb rubber, rubberized concrete.

The deformation of rubberized concrete under uniaxial compression and three-point flexure is studied in this paper by test, and the load-deflection curves and load-strain curves under three-point flexure are obtained. Three rubberized concrete, with 5%, 10% and 15% rubber contents, were tested. The test results show that rubber powder influences the compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete. The greater of the rubber dosage, the greater of the strength decreasing of concrete. The decline of compressive strength is greater than flexural strength, the ratio of flexural strength to compressive strength of rubberized concrete is 1.08, 1.16, 1.26 times of the normal concrete for three different rubber contents respectively. And the ultimate tensile strain of rubberized concrete is 1.62, 2.25, 2.80 times of the normal concrete respectively. The addition of rubber improved the toughness and deformation ability of the normal concrete.

Artificial neural network (ANN) is a soft computing technique that has been used to predict with accuracy compressive strength known for its high variability of values. ANN is used to develop a model that can predict compressive strength of rubberized concrete where natural aggregate such as fine and coarse aggregate are replaced by crumb rubber and tire chips. The main idea in this study is to build a model using ANN with three parameters that are: water/cement ratio, Superplasticizer, granular squeleton. Furthermore, the data used in the model has been taken from various literatures and are arranged in a format of three input parameters: water/cement ratio, superplasticizer, granular squeleton that gathers fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, crumb rubber, tire chips and output parameter which is compressive strength. The performance of the model has been judged by using correlation coefficient, mean square error, mean absolute error and adopted as the comparative measures against the experimental results obtained from literature. The results indicate that artificial neural network has the ability to predict compressive strength of rubberized concrete with an acceptable degree of accuracy using new parameters.

Generally the high density in high-strength concrete results in high strength, and so people often mix superplasticizer and particulate to increase the density of concrete, but ignoring the effect of coarse aggregate gradation on concrete strength. Referring to several Gradation Theories, this paper selects the coarse aggregate gradation with skeleton, uses uniform design method to test the compressive strength of high-strength concrete, and analyses the test results. It can be known from the test results of 7d and 28d concrete specimen that the concrete strength decreases linearly with water-cement ratio and sand ratio; The 7d’s concrete strength has higher variability due to low water-cement ratio with superplasticizer; The coarse aggregate skeleton is interfered by the increase of steel slag and sand rate, and the concrete strength decreases with limited cement paste. Furthermore, the steel slag with less than 30% addition has little effect on concrete strength and it can increase the cement’s possibility of contacting to water, and reduce the amount of cement without lowering the concrete strength. The influential degree on the compressive strength of concrete is followed by ascending sequence of steel slag content, sand ratio and water-cement.

In order to promote sustainable development in the remote islands this present research attempted to study the suitability of seawater, that available abundantly surrounding the remote islands with Portland composite cement (PCC) and crushed river stones to produce concrete. This research aims to utilize seawater, and Portland composite cement (PCC) to produce high-performance concrete in order to eliminate the main problems of clean water shortage in the low land areas and the remote islands. Infrastructure development can be sustained through the effective use of natural available local materials on the remote islands. The method used in this research is an experimental method in the laboratory. Two variations of concrete were made using freshwater and seawater, respectively as a mixing material with a water to cement ratio (w/c) of 0.55. The evaluation result on concrete compressive strength and bond strength of seawater concrete were discussed. Experimental results showed the compressive strength of the seawater concrete is lower by 6.26% as compared to the normal concrete at water-cement ratio (w/c) of 0.55. In addition, the bonding strength of steel bar embedded in seawater concrete is lower by 4.34% as compared to the bonding strength of steel bar embedded in normal concrete at water-cement ratio (w/c) of 0.55. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-SP(EMCE)-06 Full Text: PDF

The work presents the results of an experimental campaign carried out on concrete elements in order to investigate the potential of using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to estimate the compressive strength based on relevant parameters, such as the water–cement ratio, aggregate–cement ratio, age of testing, and percentage cement/metakaolin ratios (5% and 10%). We prepared 162 cylindrical concrete specimens with dimensions of 10 cm in diameter and 20 cm in height and 27 prismatic specimens with cross sections measuring 25 and 50 cm in length, with 9 different concrete mixture proportions. A longitudinal transducer with a frequency of 54 kHz was used to measure the ultrasonic velocities. An ANN model was developed, different ANN configurations were tested and compared to identify the best ANN model. Using this model, it was possible to assess the contribution of each input variable to the compressive strength of the tested concretes. The results indicate an excellent performance of the ANN model developed to predict compressive strength from the input parameters studied, with an average error less than 5%. Together, the water–cement ratio and the percentage of metakaolin were shown to be the most influential factors for the compressive strength value predicted by the developed ANN model.
