Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is a special type of concrete with zero or even negative slump consistency. In this work, it had aimed to produce an RCC mix suitable for roads paving with minimum cost and better engineering properties so, different RCC mixes had prepared i.e. (M1, M2, M3, and M4) using specified percentages of micro natural silica sand powder (SSP) as partial replacement of (0%, 5%, 10%, and 20%) by weight of sulfate resistant Portland cement. Additionally, M-sand, crushed stone, filler, and water had been used. The results had obtained after 28 days of water curing. The control mix (M1) had satisfied the required f ‘c with accepted results for the other tests. M2 mix with SSP of 5% had achieved the highest results. The f ’c for sawed cubes of (10*10*10) cm had increased by 2.26% and 3.16% when tested in directions (ꓕ and //) to the direction of loading respectively. R results for sawed prisms of (38*10*10) cm had increased by 8.78% and 8.43% when tested on top and bottom faces respectively. The density had increased by 1.04% while the absorption and volume of permeable voids had decreased by 8.11% and 7.83% respectively. The UPV results had also increased by 2.44% and 0.81% for cubes and prisms respectively when compared to the control mix. M3 mix with SSP of 10% had also achieved satisfactory results when compared to the control mix.

This paper compared the initial surface absorption of conventional concrete and laterized concrete containing Portland cement (PC) and sawdust ash (SDA). Laterized concrete was produced at laterite contents of 15 and 30% as partial replacement for sand and SDA contents of 10 and 20% as partial replacement for PC. Compressive strengths at 28 days and initial surface absorption after 10 minutes (ISA-10) at 28, 60 and 90 days were determined at the water/cement ratios of 0.35, 0.50 and 0.65 and assessed at equal 28-day strengths of 25-35 N/mm2. At equal water/cement ratios, compressive strength reduced and ISA-10 increased with increasing content of laterite and SDA. On the other hand, compressive strength and resistance to surface absorption of the blended cement laterized concretes increased with increasing curing age. At equal strengths, all the blended cement laterized concretes have better resistance to surface absorption than the conventional PC concrete.

The paper aim is to acknowledge the use of Quartz Sand (silica sand) & Metakaolin in replacement of natural sand and cement. As the natural sand is depleting at an alarming rate due to perpetual mining and on other side the emission of co2 from production of cement causing global warming. The M30 grade is prepared as well as evaluated for strength characteristics viz. split tensile, compressive and flexural. Ordinary Portland cement is replaced with metakaolin at 0,10,20,30,40 and 50%, while the fine aggregate is replaced with Quartz sand at 40% constant by weight. The specimens are casted and tested for split tensile, compressive and flexural strengths after curing for 7,14,28 days.

Research on the use of stone dust (SDT) as a partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) has been carried out by using cylindrical concrete specimens with Ø = 150 mm and h = 300 mm. Specimens were made by using the ratio, in weight, of cementitious material : sand : crushed stone of 1.00 : 1.93 : 2.67. The water cementitious material ratio is of 0.52. The cementitious material is a mixture of OPC and SDT. The percentage of OPC replacement by SDT varied from 0%-25%. The distribution of grains of sand and crushed stone are designed according to SNI 03-2384-2000: gradation zone 2 for fine aggregate and gradation with a maximum diameter of 20 mm for coarse aggregate. The tests of compressive strength, elastic modulus, tensile strength and permeability on the cylindrical specimens were realized at 28 and 56 days. The result indicates that SDT shows a good pozzolanic reactivity in terms of compressive strength, elastic modulus, tensile strength and permeability. Therefore, it can be used as a component of Portland Cement Composite. The development of compressive strength, elastic modulus, tensile strength and permeability of concrete produced with a mixture of OPC and SDT depends on the amount of SDT used in the mixture and hydration time. The pozzolanic effect of SDT can only be seen at the age of 56 days. The optimal use of SDT as a partial replacement of OPC in concrete applications varied from 5%-10%.

The focus of this study was to determine the feasibility of using kaolin, a very small particle clay, as partial replacement of fine aggregates in Portland cement concrete (PCC). Kaolin clay is a locally available (Macon, GA, USA) and inexpensive clay mineral. The product, KaMin 90©, used has an average particle size of 1.5 microns and has a low embodied energy. The slump, air void content and compressive strength were examined on samples of PCC with different % of Kaolin. This research indicated the maximum kaolin substitution of fine aggregate for workability. An optimal dosage range for PCC cylinder compressive strength was also defined and found to be 33% greater than the control group. It was also noted that Kaolin engenders a soft and cohesive concrete mix that prevents segregation. A brief cost analyses was performed and determined the economic feasibility of Kaolin PCC.

Manufacturing of Portland cement consists of high volume of natural aggregates which depleted rapidly in today construction field. New substitutable material such as bottom ash replace and target for comparable properties with hydraulic or pozzolanic properties as Portland cement. This study investigates the replacement of different sizes of bottom ash into Portland cement by reducing the content of Portland cement and examined the mechanism between bottom ash (BA) and Portland cement. A cement composite developed by 10% replacement with 1, 7, 14, and 28 days of curing and exhibited excellent mechanical strength on day 28 (34.23 MPa) with 63 mm BA. The porous structure of BA results in lower density as the fineness particles size contains high specific surface area and consume high quantity of water. The morphology, mineralogical, and ternary phase analysis showed that pozzolanic reaction of bottom ash does not alter but complements and integrates the cement hydration process which facilitate effectively the potential of bottom ash to act as construction material.
