Expanded polystyrene (EPS) concrete is a promising material as lightweight features, environment-friendly materials and potentially used in lightweight building construction. However, EPS concrete has substantially affected the transition zone of elastic behavior of the element. This paper aims to evaluate the modulus of elasticity (MOE) from the compression test method for the EPS concrete. The MOE also was predicted through existing models in codes of practice using actual data from compressive strength and density of EPS concrete. To verify the proposal of a new empirical model from EPS concrete, the actual and prediction of MOE were compared. The EPS concrete specimens were based on EPS replacements and design mixtures. From the outcome of the study, it demonstrated significant improvements in strength and in the elasticity modulus were observed in the implementation of the dry press moulding for concrete mixtures.

Frp Bars

A new type of HFRP hybrid bars (hybrid fiber reinforced polymer) was introduced to increase the rigidity of FRP reinforcement, which was a basic drawback of the FRP bars used so far. Compared to the BFRP (basalt fiber reinforced polymer) bars, modification has been introduced in HFRP bars consisting of swapping basalt fibers with carbon fibers. One of the most important mechanical properties of FRP bars is compressive strength, which determines the scope of reinforcement in compressed reinforced concrete elements (e.g., column). The compression properties of FRP bars are currently ignored in the standards (ACI, CSA). The article presents compression properties for HFRP bars based on the developed compression test method. Thirty HFRP bars were tested for comparison with previously tested BFRP bars. All bars had a nominal diameter of 8 mm and their nonanchored (free) length varied from 50 to 220 mm. Test results showed that the ultimate compressive strength of nonbuckled HFRP bars as a result of axial compression is about 46% of the ultimate strength. In addition, the modulus of elasticity under compression does not change significantly compared to the modulus of elasticity under tension. A linear correlation of buckling load strength was proposed depending on the free length of HFRP bars.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

In this research, calcined diatomaceous earth from Aceh Besar, Indonesia was used as cement replacement in producing high strength concrete. Four concrete mixtures in which the percentage of cement replacement of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% by weight were studied. Four cylinder-specimens with 100 mm diameter and 200 mm high were prepared for each mixture. The compression load was applied on the specimens at the age of 28 days until the specimens failed. The mixture without calcined diatomaceous earth was more workable than that with diatomaceous earth. The compressive strength of concrete with diatomaceous earth in this study was almost the same for all mixture. However, those compressive strength was lower than the compressive strength of concrete without calcined diatomaceous earth for about 14.6%. Modulus of elasticity of high strength concrete decreased with increasing of cement replacement percentage.

The search for more efficient concrete structures requires use of new materials in the developed of new concretes. With this objective, it was proposed in this study the substitution of Part of the medium sand of the lightweight structural concrete for expanded polystyrene (PS). It was replaced 5%, 10% and 20% of the sand to observe the changes in compressive strength, flowability, absorption, density and modulus of elasticity of these concretes. The results of the study show that there was an increase in the absorption and loss in the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. Also, there was a significant increase in the flowability and reduction in the density of these concretes. Even with the replacement of part of the medium sand by expanded polystyrene, the concretes developed were classified as lightweight structural concretes, showing the applicability of this substitution in concrete designs.

Expanded polystyrene lightweight concrete is a composite which can be made by adding expanded polystyrene aggregate in normalweight concrete (as matrix). The research was focused on the effect of properties and volume of the matrix on the properties of lightweight concrete. The results show that properties of structural polystyrene concrete, such as workability and compressive strength, depend on the aggregate size of the matrix. It also shows that decreasing aggregate size of the matrix is the effective way to increase workability and compressive strength of lightweight concrete. When the density of concretes decrease by 200 kg/m³, slump values decrease by about 20 to 30 mm with lightweight concrete mixtures using maximum particle size of 0.63 mm, while slump values decrease by about 40 mm with the mixtures using maximum particle size of 20 mm. At the same density, the compressive strength of the structural polystyrenre concrete significantly decreased when the coarse aggregate diameter greater than 10 mm. Therefore, coarse aggregates with diameter size are smaller than 10 mm was recommended to use for matrix. In the result, expanded polystyrene concrete with density from 1,400 kg/m³ to 2,000 kg/m³ and compressive strength more than 20 MPa for structural application was made.

In the current era of globalization, the development of concrete in the construction sector is very rapid, be it housing, offices, bridges, roads, dams, ports, and others. That is inseparable from the use of concrete as a part of building construction. The use of coarse aggregate for concrete mixes, namely natural stone, is a non-renewable natural resource. Therefore an alternative is needed as a substitute. One of the natural resources that can be renewed is hazelnut skin. Candlenut is a traditional plant that has various benefits, one of which is a candlenut shell. In this study, the materials used for standard concrete mixtures consist of water, cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate. The water used for mixing the concrete is taken from the PDAM channel. The results showed that the effect of candlenut shells used as a substitute for some coarse aggregate decreased compressive strength results from the results of standard concrete compressive strength. The results obtained by the value of standard concrete compressive strength at 28 days of concrete were 27.19Mpa for concrete using Candlenut shells of 20% produce a compressive strength value of 17.33 Mpa at 28 days of concrete. 35% produce a concrete compressive strength value of 16.04 Mpa, while 50% produce a concrete compressive strength value of 15.17 Mpa. Thus the research shows that more and more candlenut shells are being used as a substitute for coarse aggregate in the concrete mixture.

Concrete is a building construction material that has an important role. Concrete itself tends to have strong properties in resisting compressive forces, but weak in resisting tensile or flexural forces. The use of additives in concrete is an option to improve the basic properties of concrete. Latex or rubber latex is one of the natural materials that can be used in concrete mixtures. Its adhesive properties can be utilized in improving the quality of concrete. This study aims to determine the compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete with the addition of latex. The research was conducted experimentally by making concrete specimens in the laboratory. The addition of latex by 10% and 30% with a planned concrete quality of fc' 29.5 MPa. The test object used is a cylinder measuring 15x30 cm and a beam measuring 15x15x30 cm. The tests carried out were testing the compressive strength and flexural strength at the age of 28 days. The results showed that the highest compressive strength was at the addition of 10% latex with a value of 9.96 MPa. While the highest flexural strength value obtained was 3.20 Mpa at the addition of 10% Latex or. From these results it can be seen that the addition of latex has not been able to improve the quality of concrete and has not been able to increase the compressive strength or flexural strength of concrete. So that these results can be used as research development or concrete production.

This paper aims to investigate experimentally the influence of replacing cement with different fineness of fly ash based on flowability, passing ability, compressive strength, tensile strength (splitting). Concretes with 15% fly ash (passed a number 100 sieve) and fine fly ash (passed a number 200 sieve) as cement replacement were cast and tested at 7, 14, 28 days after water curing. A superplasticizer in the form of viscocrete 3115 N was constantly used for each concrete mixtures as much as 1% by weight of cement. The results show that the use of fly ash does not significantly increased the compressive strength and tensile strength of SCC mixtures. However, concrete with 15% fine fly ash its self and combined 7.5% fly ash with 7.5% fine fly ash show better flowability and passing ability when compared to concrete with cement only indicating the performance of using smaller particle sizes of fly ash could lead better properties of SCC that can be potentially used for building construction application.

Concrete Properties

In order to research the changes of concrete properties in freeze-thaw environment, five concrete samples with water-cement ratio respectively equal to 0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75 and 0.80 were tested in freeze-thaw environment according to GB/T50082-2009 concrete rapid freeze-thaw cycles test method. Five samples were carried out 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 times faster freeze-thaw cycles test. With the increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles, the concrete relative dynamic modulus of elasticity loss rises, the compressive strength drops, and the carbonation depth increases. The greater the water-cement ratio of concrete specimens with freeze-thaw cycles, the greater the degree of damage increases.
