As environment-friendly or green cement, the geopolymer cementitious material has high early age strength, good volume stability and durability. In this paper, the mechanical properties of geopolymer hydrates at different hydrating ages were studied by changing the oxide content of raw material. The results showed that the chemical-combined water kept increasing as hydrating age prolonged, and reached the maximum at n(SiO2)/n(Al2O3)=3.9, n(H2O)/n(SiO2)=2.3 and n(Na2O)/n(Al2O3)=0.6. With the development of hydration, the pH value of geopolymer paste showed fluctuated: pH value kept increased at the age of 1d~3d, then decreased at the age of 3d~7d, at the age of 7d~14d the pH value increased again and at last it remained constant at the age of 14d~28d. 28d compressive strength of geopolymer paste reached the maximum as chemical-combined water content was 0.09g~0.10g and pH value was 10~11.

Abstract Incorporating bioactive substances into synthetic bioceramic scaffolds is challenging. In this work, oxygen-carboxymethyl chitosan (O-CMC), a natural biopolymer that is nontoxic, biodegradable and biocompatible, was introduced into magnesium potassium phosphate cement (K-struvite) to enhance its mechanical properties and cytocompatibility. This study aimed to develop O-CMC/magnesium potassium phosphate composite bone cement (OMPC), thereby combining the optimum bioactivity of O-CMC with the extraordinary self-setting properties and mechanical intensity of the K-struvite. Our results indicated that O-CMC incorporation increased the compressive strength and setting time of K-struvite and decreased its porosity and pH value. Furthermore, OMPC scaffolds remarkably improved the proliferation, adhesion and osteogenesis related differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Therefore, O-CMC introduced suitable physicochemical properties to K-struvite and enhanced its cytocompatibility for use in bone regeneration.

A novel approach is used for fabricating steel slag foam ceramics based on the particle-stabilized foaming method. In this work, steel slag was used as the raw material and propyl gallate (PG) was used as the surface modifier. For the first time, steel slag ceramic foams were successfully fabricated based on particle-stabilized foams. The results show that the stability of the ceramic foams was closely related to the pH value and PG concentration. The porosity and compressive strength could be controlled by changing the solid loading of steel slag and sintering temperature. The porosity of steel slag foam ceramics ranged from 85.6% to 62.53%, and the compressive strength was from 1.74 MPa to 10.42 MPa. The thermal conductivity of steel slag foam ceramics was only 0.067 W (m·K)−1, which shows that it could be used as a thermal insulation material.

In precast concrete elements manufacturing, steam-cured concrete incorporating 30% fly ash encountered the problem of a too low demoulding compressive strength. To resolve it, this paper developed a new steam-cured concrete (AFSC) incorporating fly ash and a chemical activator. Experiments were conducted to investigate the mechanical properties of AFSC. The corresponding mechanism was also discussed by testing the microstructure of concrete. Results indicate that the demoulding compressive strength of AFSC can meet production requirements, and compressive and flexure strength of AFSC at later ages increase well. Compared with that of ordinary steam-cured concrete, AFSC has a higher tensile strength, and the capability of AFSC to resist cracks is enhanced remarkably. At an early age, addition of the chemical activator can distinctly accelerate the extent of hydration of the fly ash cement systems, and thus the microstructure of concrete becomes denser.

Abstract. The compressive strength and elastic modulus of early-age shotcrete have important influence on the safety of tunnel during construction period. In order to investigate the laws of the mechanical properties of early-age shotcrete, experiments on the compressive strength and elastic modulus of early-age shotcrete with two different mixes used frequently on construction sites were carried out. The results show that the compressive strength and elastic modulus of shotcrete develop fairly rapidly and especially the development of elastic modulus of shotcrete is faster than that of ordinary concrete. There is an exponential relationship between the compressive strength and time as well as the elastic modulus development and time. Simultaneously their formulas were derived. The research results of this paper are not only helpful to understand the laws of the mechanical properties of early-age shotcrete, but also provide some reference for the reliability analysis of tunnel under construction.

Reusing of stone powder formed in the production of manufactured sand is of great significance to environmental protection and resource utilization. In this paper, C30 and C40 environment-friendly manufactured sand concrete were prepared by adding 6%, 9%, 12% and 15% of waste boulder powder from manufactured sand production line into concrete and controlling the total weight of manufactured sand and rock powder to be constant. The influence of stone powder on concrete fluidity, compressive strength and elastic modulus were analysed. It was found that with the increase of stone powder content, the compressive strength of fresh paste and C30 concrete first increased and then decreased, while the elastic modulus of concrete and the compressive strength of C40 concrete continued to decrease. It is suggested that the content of rock powder should not exceed 9%.

Inorganic polymer materials known as geopolymer-based materials are always interesting topics for researchers. Geopolymer is environmentally friendly material which has been potential applications for many different fields such as technical materials, building materials, insolation or refractories, and others. This study used ash of brickyard (AB) as a raw material for geopolymerization process to develop novel materials with high porosity. AB is industrial waste of the brick factories that need to be managed to reduce their negative impact to the environment. AB contains high alumino-silicate resources were mixed with sodium hydroxide solution for 10 minutes to obtain the geopolymer pastes. Sodium hydroxide solution was used as an alkaline activator to form geopolymer paste. The geopolymer paste was filled into 5-cm cube molds according to ASTM C109/C109M 99, and then cured at room temperature for 28 days. These products were then tested for compressive strength, volumetric weight, and water absorption. Results indicated that the material can be considered lightweight with a compressive strength at 28 days that are in the range of 8.1 to 15.4 MPa, volumetric weight around 600kg/m3 and water absorption is under 210.65 kg/m3. The properties of geopolymer products were also determined by analytical techniques that included mineral composition by X Ray Diffraction (XRD) and microstructure by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

The properties of high-strength artificial porous aggregate from glass-containing waste of metallurgical productions are described. The developed technology makes it possible to expand the raw material base for the production of aggregates for light concrete. Granulated slags of metallurgical productions – the main (M0>1) slags of the Novokuznetsk Iron and Steel Plant and acid (M0<1) slags of the Gorky plant are studied. According to the results of studies, it was found that the optimal swelling interval for acidic slags is 1000–1100оC, and for basic slags-1100–1150оC. A high – strength artificial porous aggregate-slag gravel with a bulk density of 340–780 kg/m3 and a compressive strength in the cylinder of 2.8–12.3 MPa was obtained. The main physical and mechanical properties of the resulting aggregate, which meets the requirements of the current standard GOST 9757–90 “Gravel, crushed stone and sand. Artificial porous”, were studied. The aggregate obtained is almost twice as strong as the known aggregate of expanded clay gravel. With the use of porous gravel and sand, light concrete of strength class B7,5–B40 and a density of 1100–1600 kg/m3 was obtained.
