The current paper experimentally investigated the effect of different kinds re-dispersible polymer powers (RPP) on cement-based self-leveling mortars. The construction operation of mortar and its mechanical property was tested in accordance with the standard JC/T 981-2005. Besides, the micro-structure surface of self-leveling mortar was characterized by means of SEM to reflect the microscopic mechanism of the performance. The results showed the dispersible polymer powders could significantly improve performance of fluidity, adhesion property and abrasion resistance on cement-based self-leveling mortar; Meanwhile, there is no bad impact on its compressive strength and flexural strength.

Silica fume constitutes an element of extreme importance in improving the strength and fluidity of UHPC. The adopted amount of silica fume generally is generally exceeding 25% of cement in weight but the influence of this amount on the properties of UHPC is still remaining as a domain to be investigated. Accordingly, this paper investigates the effects of the amount of silica fume on the mechanical characteristics of the fluidity, compressive strength, elastic modulus and flexural strength and on the micro structure of UHPC by means of SEM and MIP. Results revealed that adequate amount of silica fume is improving the fluidity and strength. MIP tests demonstrated that such improvement is brought by the increase of hydrates due to the pozzolan reaction and the effective densification inside concrete due to the filler. It seemed also that similar mechanical characteristics can be obtained for a volumetric ratio to cement ranging between 10 and 25%.

The present study evaluates the potential and suitability of different fractions of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for roller compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) mixes. Natural coarse and fine aggregates were replaced, partially and in combination, by coarse RAP, fine RAP, and combined RAP for preparation of RCCP mixes. The considered properties to determine the optimum RAP fraction and its proportion for RCCP were fresh density and water demand, compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, porosity, water absorption, abrasion resistance, and performance in aggressive environments of chloride- and sulfate-rich ions. It was observed that inclusions of all the fractions of RAP considered could reduce the strength related properties of RCCP mixes significantly at all curing ages. However, fine RAP mixes were found to exhibit better strength properties than coarse RAP and combined RAP mixes. It was also observed that none of the RAP mixes could achieve the recommended compressive strength criterion of 27.6 MPa, however, they exhibited enough flexural strength to replace a fraction of conventional aggregates, individually or in combination, for construction using RCCP. In fact, 50% coarse and 50% fine RAP mixes had higher flexural strength than the target laboratory mean strength of 4.3 MPa. Similarly, these mixes were found to have sufficient abrasion resistance and could be included in RCCP (surface course) to be constructed in areas having high concentrations of chloride and sulfate ions. Additionally, the results also indicated that higher proportions of fine RAP may be suggested for RCCP mixes to be laid in sulfatic environments.

The compatibility and mechanical property of two kinds of synthetic fibers to geopolymer were studied. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polypropylene (PP) were used as reinforcing fiber materials. The result shows that flexural strength of geopolymer is obviously increased by mixed with reinforcing fiber. PVA is better than PP in reinforcing the flexural strength, both of these fibers have no significant effect in reinforcing the compressive strength to geopolymer.

The impermeability and other performance of sulphoaluminate cement were studied, which mixed with redispersible polymer powders. With the help of SEM and mercury intrusion apparatus, the morphology of the hydrates and the pore structure of the cement mortars were observed. The impermeability mechanism of redispersible polymer powders in sulphoaluminate cement mortar was analyzed. The results show that sulphoaluminate cement mortar could be modified by adding redispersible polymer powders. The flexural strength of sulphoaluminate cement mortar could be increased by adding redispersible polymer powders, and compressive strength of sulphoaluminate cement mortar could also be increased to a certain extent. When the mass fraction of redispersible polymer powders was 0.9%, the flexural strength and compressive strength reached 9.2 MPa and 52.5 MPa. When small amount of redispersible polymer powders was added, the impermeability of modified sulphoaluminate cement mortar was improved significantly. When the mass fraction of redispersible polymer powders exceeded 0.9%, impermeability of Sulphoaluminate cement mortar would not be improved significantly. Due to redispersible powders gap filling and film forming, the interface of cement and aggregate is more closed, total porosity decreased and unharmful porosity increased when redispersible polymer powders is added.

The Impact

The paper presents the test results of basalt fiber impact on a compressive and flexural strength, resistance to abrasion and porosity of Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC). The reasons for testing were interesting mechanical properties of basalt fibers, the significant tensile strength and flexural strength, and in particular the resistance to high temperatures, as well as a relatively small number of RPC tests performed with those fibers and different opinions regarding the impact of those fibers on concrete strength. The composition of the concrete mix was optimized to obtain the highest packing density of particles in the composite, based on the optimum particle size distribution curve acc. to Funk. Admixture of basalt fibers was used in quantity 2, 3, 6, 8 and 10 kg/m3, length 12 mm and diameter 18 µm. A low water-to-binder ratio, i.e., from 0.24, was obtained through application of a polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer. The introduction of up to 10 kg/m3 of basalt fibers to RPC mix was proved to be possible, while keeping the same w/c ratio equal to 0.24, with a slight loss of workability of the concrete mix as the content of fibers increased. It was found that the increase of the fiber content in RPC to 10 kg/m3, despite the w/c ratio was kept the same, caused reduction of the concrete compressive strength by 18.2%, 7.8% and 13.6%, after 2, 7, and 28 days respectively. Whereas, the flexural strength of RPC increased gradually (maximum by 15.9%), along with the fiber quantity increase up to 6 kg/m3, and then it reduced (maximum by 17.7%), as the fiber content in the concrete was further increased. The reduction of RPC compressive strength, along with the increase in basalt fibers content, leads to the increase of the total porosity, as well as the change in pore volume distribution. The reduction of RPC abrasion resistance was demonstrated along with the increase of basalt fibers content, which was explained by the compressive strength reduction of that concrete. A linear relation between the RPC abrasion resistance and the compressive strength involves a high determination coefficient equal to 0.97.
