This study investigated the resistance of garnet fiber concrete (hereinafter, GFC) to magnesium sulfate. GFC was fabricated in various mix ratios using GA, nylon (Ny), polypropylene (PP), and others. Plain concrete without GA was also fabricated for comparison with GFC. The test pieces were soaked in 10% magnesium sulfate for up to 210 days to test their compressive strengths, sulfate deterioration factors (SDFs), and mass losses. It was observed from the test results that the compressive strength test pieces mixed with GA and Ny, which perform the pozzolanic reaction, had excellent performances under the influence of sulfate. The plain concrete underwent greater mass loss compared to the GFC test pieces. The test results showed that the GFC mixed with 10% GA and Ny was more resistant to magnesium sulfate than the GFC with PP.

The compressive strength test is one of the technical properties or compressive strength tests that are commonly used in rock mechanics to determine the collapse point or the elasticity of rock against maximum pressure. The rock collapse point is a measure of the strength of the rock itself when the rock is no longer able to maintain its elastic properties. The purpose of this test is to find out how long the rock maintains its strength or elasticity properties when pressure is applied, and to find out the difference between the strength of compact rock and rock that has fractures when pressure is applied. Rocks that have fractures will break more easily or quickly when pressure is applied compared to compact rocks. This analysis is carried out by comparing the rock strength of each sample, both those that have fractures and compact rocks. To find out these differences, laboratory testing was carried out. The test results show the value (compressive strength test 57.76 MPa), (elastic modulus 5250.000MPa), (Poisson ratio 0.05) and the average value of rock mechanical properties test (axial 0.91), (lateral-0.279), and (volumetric 0.252) . Based on the test results above, it shows that rocks that have fractures will break more easily when pressure is applied, compared to compact rocks that have a long time in the uniaxial compressive strength test.

In this study, the different proportions of co-fired fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag were used to fully replace the cement as non-cement blended materials in a fixed water-cement ratio. The recycled fine aggregates were replaced with natural fine aggregates as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. The flowability, compressive strength, water absorption and scanning electron microscope observations were used as the engineered indices by adding different proportions of recycled fine aggregates. The test results indicated that the fluidity cannot be measured normally due to the increase in the proportion of recycled fine aggregates due to its higher absorbability. In the compressive strength test, the compressive strength decreased accordingly as the recycled fine aggregates increased due to the interface structure and the performance of recycled aggregates. The fine aggregates and other blended materials had poor cementation properties, resulting in a tendency for their compressive strength to decrease. However, the compressive strength can be controlled above 35 MPa of the green non-cement blended materials containing 20% recycled aggregates.

Infrastructure development is one of the important aspects of the progress of a country where most of the constituents of infrastructure are concrete. The most important constituent of concrete is cement because its function is to bind other concrete materials so that it can form a hard mass. The large number of developments using cement as a building material will leave quite a lot of cement bags.In this study, the authors conducted research on the effect of adding cement waste to the compressive strength of concrete. This study used an experimental method with a total of 24 test objects. The test object is in the form of a concrete cylinder with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm and uses variations in the composition of the addition of cement waste cement as a substitute for fine aggregate, namely 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%. K200). The compressive strength test was carried out at the age of 7 days and 28 days.The test results show that the use of waste as a partial substitute for fine aggregate results in a decrease in the compressive strength of each mixture. at the age of 7 days the variation of 2% is 16.84 MPa, 4% is 11.32 MPa and for a mixture of 6% is 6.68 MPa. Meanwhile, the compressive strength test value of 28 days old concrete in each mixture decreased by ± 6 MPa. So the conclusion is cement cement waste cannot be used as a substitute for fine aggregate in fc 16.6 (K200) quality concrete because the value is lower than the specified minimum of 16.6 MPa.

The influence of metakaolin (MK) on strength and microstructure of steam-cured high-strength concrete has been investigated using compressive strength test, XRD, MIP and SEM. Three MK replacement levels were considered in the study: 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of cement. A mix double blended with 10% MK and 10% slag was prepared too. Test results have indicated that MK can increase the compressive strength of steam-cured concrete, especially at early age. Compressive strength up to 90MPa at 1 and 28 days is obtained with the incorporation of 10% MK and 10% slag. When the replacement level of MK is higher than 10%, the enhancement of strength becomes less significant. Content of Ca (OH)2 crystals is decreased while content of hydrates with Al is increased due to the pozzolanic reactivity of MK. Concrete pore structure is significantly refined and a denser hydrates structure is obtained due to the pozzolanic reaction and filler effect of MK. Meanwhile, combination of aggregate and paste is enhanced too. The improvements of strength and microstructure become more obvious when MK and slag are double incorporated.

The same batch reactive powder concrete specimens were obtained with same raw materials and curing process, uniaxial compressive strength test had been done on the specimens after hot water curing placed in laboratory for seven days , three months and three years. The test results showed that seven-day strength and three-month strength of plain reactive powder concrete after hot water curing are almost equal. Strength of plain reactive powder concrete has not degradation within three months after hot water curing. While strength of plain reactive powder appears serious degradation phenomenon after placed in Laboratory for three years. Comparing uniaxial compressive strength test results of plain reactive powder concrete at three-month with three-year after hot water curing ,we find that strength of plain reactive concrete at three-year decrease about 27 percent than the strength of plain reactive powder concrete placed at laboratory for three months, and elasticity modulus increases about 71 percent, axial peak strain decrease about 62 percent respectively .With the passage of time, plain reactive powder concrete appears more Brittle Features and less toughness.

This paper studies the effect of incorporating metakaolin on the mechanical properties of high grade concrete. Three different metakaolins calcined at different temperature and durations were used to make concrete specimens. Three different concrete mixtures were characterized using 20% metakaolin in place of cement. A normal concrete mix was also made for comparison purpose. The compressive strength test, split tensile test and flexural strength tests were conducted on the specimens. The compressive strength test results showed that all the metakaolin incorporated concrete specimens exhibited higher compressive strength and performed better than normal concrete at all the days of curing. The rate of strength development of all the mixes was also studied. The study revealed that all the three different metakaolin incorporated mixtures had different rate of strength development for all the days of hydration (3, 7,14, 28, 56 and 90), indicating that all the metakaolins possessed different rate of pozzolanic reactivity. Further, from the analysis of the test results, it was concluded that the variation in the rate of strength development is due to the differences in the temperature and duration at which they were manufactured. The results of split tensile strength test and the flexural strength test conducted on the specimens, supported the conclusions drawn from the results of compressive strength test. The paper also discusses, the rate of development of compressive strength and the pozzolanic behaviour of the metakaolins in light of their parameters of calcination and physical properties such as amorphousness and particle size. This paper has been written with a view to make the potential of metakaolin available to the construction industry at large

Wood is a hygroscopic organic material, prone to damage and weathering, especially by humidity. The moisture in the wood will trigger biotic activities such as fungus, which can decompose of wood materials, that is, cellulose. Moreover, wood is susceptible to insect attacks such as termites. This condition will cause the wood to become brittle so that the strength of the wood will decrease. To strengthen brittle wood, consolidation treatments are needed. Material for wood consolidation that has been used is Paraloid B72 with acetone solvent, which is not easy to find everywhere Materials tested for wood artifacts consolidations were shellac and gelatin with a concentration of 5%, 7,5%, and 10%. As a comparison, the material used for wood consolidation is Paraloid B72 10%. Test parameters used include SEM test, density test, compressive strength test, color change test, fungal growth observation, and FTIR test. Test results have shown that shellac 7,5% and 10% can be an alternative to Paraloid B72 as a wood artifacts consolidation material. Shellac 7,5% is the optimum concentration for wood artifacts consolidation because materials will be more efficient. This material can fill the wood pores and increase the density by 13,89%. The resulting compressive strength value reached 248,01 kg/cm2 or increased by 43,18%, higher than Paraloid B72 10%. Shellac 7,5% does not change the color of the wood and safe from fungal growth when applied to wood. This material also does not change the chemical composition of wood. Keywords: wood, artifact, consolidation, shellac, gelatin, Paraloid B72
