Pumice, cements (CEM I- and CEM II-type), waste fly and bottom ashes (IFA, GBA, and BBA) supplied from international companies were used to produce lightweight building materials, and physical-mechanical properties of these materials were determined. Axial compressive strength (ACS) values were found above the standards of 4 and 8 MPa (Bims Concrete (BC) 40 and 80 kgf/cm2 class) for cemented (CEM I) pumice-based samples. On the contrary, the ACS values of the pumice-based cemented (CEM II) samples could not be reached to these standards. Best ACS results (compatible with BC80) from these cemented lightweight material samples produced with the ashes were found in 50% mixing ratio as 10.6, 13.2, and 20.5 MPa for BBA + CEM I, GBA + CEM II, and IFA + CEM I, respectively, and produced with pumice were found as 8.4 MPa (same value) for GBA + pumice + CEM II (in 25% mixing ratio), BBA + pumice + CEM I (in 100% mixing ratio), and pumice + IFA + CEM I (in 100% mixing ratio), respectively. According to the results, cemented ash-based lightweight building material produced with and without pumice could widely be used for constructive purposes. As a result of this study, an important input to the ecosystem has been provided using waste ashes, whose storage constitutes a problem.

Bricks are widely used as a construction and building material due to its properties. Recent years have seen a great development in new types of inorganic cementitious binders called ‘‘geopolymeric cement’’ around the world. This prompted its use in bricks, which improves the greenness of ordinary bricks. The development of fly ash-based geopolymer lightweight bricks is relatively new in the field of construction materials. This paper reviews the uses of fly ash as a raw materials and addition of foaming agent to the geopolymeric mixture to produce lightweight bricks. The effects on their physical and mechanical properties have been discussed. Most manufactured bricks with incorporation of foaming agent have shown positive effects by producing lightweight bricks, increased porosity and improved the thermal conductivities of fly ash-based geopolymer bricks. However, less of performances in number of cases in terms of mechanical properties were also demonstrated.

Steel depositsobtained by thermal spray arc have physical-chemical and mechanical properties dependent on operational parameters of the spraying process. Thus, the electric current intensity, the spray distance, the velocity, respectively the driving gas pressure are the parameters that influence the mechanical properties of the steel deposits obtained by thermal spraying. The interaction between particles- gas drive seen in the classic arc spray has the effect the lowering of particles temperature and implicitly of the physical and mechanical properties of the deposit. Using a new device, combined, in which over the thermal field, created by the electric arc, would overlap a second thermal field, created by a gaseous fuel burning, would determine the maintaining of high temperature of the particles and implicitly changes of the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the deposit. Such a combined spraying device would be called device for spraying in electric arc-thermally activated. The paper aims to present a comparative study of the physic chemical and mechanical properties of steel deposits obtained with two spraying processes: the classical process and the combined spraying process - in electric arc thermally activated.Investigations carried out on the structure of deposits by electron microscopy SEM, XRD analysis and image analysis performed at zone level Layer-Substrate as well the deposits adherence assessment in accordance with EN 582-allows the highlighting properties, the arguing of differences between the properties of the deposits made by the two methods as well as the establishing advantages and disadvantages using those processes.

This article discusses the properties of concrete composite materials based on their contexture. Systematic and interactive approaches are required in order to achieve optimal material properties in the preparation of composite materials. In order to predict the physical and mechanical properties of each component of the composite material but also as a whole, its optimization, not only the mechanical but also the material properties under different working conditions, requires a combination of different methods and technologies. The advantage of each composite is its specific properties that cannot be achieved by any component of the composite material alone. The strength of the materials based on polymer concrete mixtures can be compared to the strength properties of metals. On the other hand, this material has elastic properties which give the material a high degree of flexibility. When compared to conventional materials, the value of polymer composites is assessed not only in terms of excellent mechanical properties but also in terms of their low weight and cost. The aim of the paper is to describe the advantages and disadvantages of composites based on polymer concrete mixtures.

This research aims to find out the effect of cement-saw dust ratio levels on the physical and mechanical properties of produced composites. The physical properties (density, water content, water absorption after the immersion of one hour and 24 hours, and thickness swelling after the immersion of one hour and 24 hours) and mechanical properties (MOE and MOR) were observed according to ISO standards. The results showed that the use of the cement to sawdust ratio of 3 : 1 in producing wood composite with the target density of 1200 kg/m3 resulted in the lowest water absorption and the highest MOE and MOR. The swelling value and MOR of the produced boards were not acceptable, but their water content, water absorption, and MOE parameters were acceptable according to ISO 8335 1997. Key Words : Physical and mechanical properties, cement wood composite, sawdust

The present work reports the microstructure, physical and mechanical properties of a material composed of kaolin, diatomite and calcium carbonate reinforcement (CaCO3). The ceramic prototypes were shaped by the slip casting method and sintered at temperatures between 800 °C and 1100 °C. The morphology and average pore size was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the mineralogical phases were determined by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The apparent density was established by the mercury immersion method according to the E – 8B Standard of the Institute of Ceramic Technology (ITC); the percentage of absorption was determined by the boiling method according to ISO 10545-3 standard; linear contraction was studied in three directions: long, wide and high. The study of the mechanical resistance to compression followed the procedure established at ASTM C773–88 standard and the breaking modulus was calculated by the three-point bending test, according to ISO 10545–4. Results show that the material structure is affected with increasing temperature reporting a decrease in quartz phase from 51.16 % to 33.81 %. Percentage of absorption revealed its most significant variation between 950 °C and 1100 °C with a decrease of 21 % approximately. Mechanical resistance values showed wide dispersion which was attributed to the different orientations in which the material failed during each test. According to the pore diameters found, the compound is characterized by being macro and mesoporous facilitating its application in catalysis, photochemistry, microelectronics and other microfiltration media

Abstract Cross laminated timber (CLT) is a mass timber product that is gaining popularity in construction within North America. CLT is made up of wood, a building material of biological origin. Therefore, these materials are at a risk of decay upon intrusion of moisture, a situation that could lead to loss of confidence in the material. Ensuring durability and optimum performance of building elements throughout their expected service life will require an understanding of the potential for decay and the possible consequences. This paper reviews the various possibilities of moisture intrusion in CLT, their potential effects on the physical and mechanical properties of CLT, and ultimately the associated biological decay risks. The paper concludes by enumerating variables that are critical and should be evaluated to completely understand decay in CLT panels, stemming from a thorough review of previous studies and methods used to evaluate decay in mass timber.
