In this study, recycled glass is used to replace the natural fine aggregate in different mix proportions to obtain the optimum combination that will produce the highest strength. The control samples are Grade 30 ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPCC) containing 100% natural sand and coarse aggregate. The recycled glass concretes contain 70% natural fine aggregate + 30% size 300 micron crushed glass (Sample 2), and 70% fine aggregate + 15% size 300 micron crushed glass + 15% size greater than 300 micron crushed glass (Sample 3). The compressive strengths of the concrete samples with recycled glass are higher than the control samples at all ages of 7, 28, 56 and 90 days. At age 60 days, the strength gain of the control samples shows no significant increment but both samples that include recycled glass still show significant increment in strength. It is found that recycled glass performed better when utilised at size 300 microns and less. The recorded strength of the control, Sample 2 and 3 at 90 days are 47, 61 and 55 MPa.

Although the compressive strength for the concrete samples with recycled glass are higher than the control samples, the flexural test results show that, concrete with recycled glass has less ability to be fully functioning as a reinforced concrete by exhibiting their flexural strength at 91 % and 84% of the theoretical flexural strength whereas for the control specimen, its flexural strength is 10% higher than the theoretical value. Nonetheless, the toughness index of recycled glass concrete with 30% replacement of fine sand with recycled glass powder is at par with the control samples, which shows the ductile behavior of the recycled glass concrete.

This research aims to determine the acoustical properties of concrete material made of polyurethane and oyster shell waste as both fine aggregate and coarse aggregate comparing to other concrete mortar. Architecture needs aesthetics materials, so the innovation in architectural material should be driven through the efforts of research on materials for building designs. The DOE methods was used by mixing cement, oyster shell, sands, and polyurethane by composition of 160 ml:40 ml:100 ml: 120 ml respectively. Refer to the results of previous research, then cement consumption is reduced up to 20% to keep the concept of green material. This study compared three different compositions of mortars, namely portland cement concrete with gravel (PCG), polyurethane concrete of oyster shell (PCO) and concrete with plastics aggregate (PCP). The methods of acoustical tests were conducted refer to the ASTM E413-04 standard. The research results showed that polyurethane concrete with oyster shell waste aggregate has absorption coefficient 0.52 and STL 63 dB and has a more beautiful appearance when it was pressed into moulding. It can be concluded that polyurethane concrete with oyster shell aggregate (PCO) is well implemented in architectural acoustics-components.

ABSTRAKSalah satu limbah yang dapat digunakan sebagai pengganti bahan pembuat beton adalah abu batu. Abu batu merupakan limbah dari proses pemecahan bongkahan batu. Ditinjau dari ukuran butirannya maka abu batu merupakan agregat halus. Abu batu memiliki penyerapan air yang lebih tinggi daripada pasir alami, maka dari itu untuk mendapatkan kelecakan campuran beton yang sama dengan kelecakan campuran beton menggunakan pasir alami, penggunaan abu batu sebagai agregat halus dalam campuran beton perlu tambahan air. Namun hal ini akan menyebabkan faktor air-semen bertambah. Sehingga hasil kuat tekan akan menurun. Hal ini sesuai dengan hubungan antara kuat tekan beton dengan faktor air-semen. Perekayasaan yang dilakukan adalah dengan menaikkan faktor granular (G) dan menaikkan kuat tekan rencana berdasarlan teori Dreux. Abu batu pada penelitian ini digunakan sebagai substitusi pasir alami dengan proporsi 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, dan 100%. Hasil penelititan ini memperlihatkan penggunaan abu batu sebagai agregat halus lebih dari 40% akan sangat drastis menurunkan kuat tekan beton.Kata kunci: perekayasaan, substitusi, campuran beton, abu batu, agregat halus ABSTRACTOne of the wastes that can be used as a substitute for concrete materials is stone ash. Stone ash is a waste from the process of stone crusher. Consider from the size of the grain, stone ash as fine aggregate. Stone ash has a higher water absorption than natural sand, therefore to get the concrete workability that is the same as the concrete workability using natural sand, the use of stone ash as fine aggregate in the concrete mixture needs additional water. But this will cause the cement-water ratio to increase. So that the compressive strength will decrease. This is following the relationship between the compressive strength of concrete and the cement-water ratio. Engineering is done by increasing the granular factor (G) and increasing the compressive strength of the plan based on Dreux theory. Stone ash in this study was used as a substitute for natural sand with a proportion of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. The results of this research show that the use of stone ash as fine aggregate of more than 40% will greatly reduce the compressive strength of the concrete.Keywords: engineering, substitute, concrete mixture, stone ash, fine aggregate

Aggregates used in concrete are fast depleting natural resource and the quarrying of which is causing environmental issues. Hence, the use of aggregate from alternate sources such as from waste discarded glass, from foundry sand discarded after metal casting process and sea shells is investigated. Compressive strength of concrete with glass powder, foundry sand and sea shell is studied individually. Concrete is cast with glass powder and foundry sand as 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% replacement of fine aggregate and with sea shell as 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% replacement of coarse aggregate individually. It is observed that compressive strength of concrete decreases with glass powder, foundry sand, and sea shell. Fine aggregate replaced by 10% glass powder, 10%, foundry sand and coarse aggregate replaced by 10% sea shell have the least decrease in strength when compared to control concrete mix.

Current study explores the possibility of improvement in various categories of concrete’s strengths (including tensile strength, flexural strength etc.) by using methylcellulose as an additive. The effect of methylcellulose on concrete’s compressive strength has also been investigated experimentally. Concrete samples were casted with several methylcellulose to binder ratios varying from 0.002 to 0.01 by weight of cement. Several tests were performed on concrete specimens including concrete cylinder and cube compression tests, split cylinder tests and modulus of rupture tests. Results showed that addition of methylcellulose increased the tensile strength of concrete. Addition of 0.2% of methylcellulose increased the tensile strength of concrete by 16%. This increase in tensile strength reached up to 73% of the control sample on addition of 1% methylcellulose. It was observed that the effect of methylcellulose on compressive strength of concrete depends upon the type of samples being tested (cube or cylinder). The compressive strength of concrete cylinders showed a plateau behavior with peak at 0.4% methylcellulose content with an increase of 18.7%. Effect of methylcellulose on concrete cylinder strength becomes insignificant beyond 0.6%. It was observed that addition of methylcellulose reduces the modulus of rupture values. The reduction in MOR was only 3% at 0.2% methylcellulose content but it grew to 30% at 1% methylcellulose content. The research presents an effective way of increasing tensile strength of concrete but without significant effect on concrete’s compressive strength and modulus of rupture values. These findings can be used to determine optimum content of methylcellulose to achieve desired performance from concrete depending upon the intended use.

In this study, the compressive strengths of concrete were investigated based on water content and aggregate volume fractions, comprising dune sand (DS), crushed sand (CS), and coarse aggregate (CA), for different ages. Experimental data were used to analyze the effects of the volume fraction changes of aggregates on the compressive strength. The compressive strength of concrete increases until the volumetric DS to fine aggregate (FA) ratio (DS/FA ratio) reaches 20%, after which it decreases. The relationship between changes in compressive strength and aggregate volume fractions was analyzed considering the effect factor of each aggregate on the compressive strength and at 2 conditions: (1) 0 < DS < CS < CA and (2) 0 < CA < CS < DS. For condition (1), when the effect factor of CA = 1, those of DS and CS were within 0.04–0.83 and 0.72–0.92, respectively, for all mixtures. For condition (2), when the effect factor of DS = 1, those of CS and CA were within 0.68–0.80 and 0.02–0.79, respectively.

Concrete is one of the most widely used building materials today interms of physical construction. Concrete is made from a mixture offine, coarse aggregate, cement, and water with a certain ratio, aswell as materials that are usually added to the concrete mixtureduring or during mixing, to changing the properties of concrete tomake it more suitable in certain jobs and more economical, can alsobe added with certain other mixed materials as needed if deemednecessary. Seashells can be used to mix concrete. This study aims todetermine whether the addition of shells aggregate shells in aconcrete mixture can affect the mechanical properties of concrete.The specimens used are in the form of cubes with a size of 15cm x 15cm x 15 cm, consisting of additional concrete coarse and fineaggregate with shell substitution percentage of 0%, 15%, 20% with atotal sample of 45, with the planned concrete quality of K225. Theuse of sea shells in increasing the compressive strength of concrete isbetter used as fine aggregate than coarse aggregate. The use of seashells as a substitute for fine aggregates achieves maximum resultsat 20% composition.


This paper presents an application of fuzzy logic to forecast the compressive strength of concrete. The fuzzy model examines 7 different input parameters that comprises: Cement, Coarse aggregate(CA), Super plasticizer(SP), Fine Aggregate(FA), Slag, Fly ash, Water(W), and 28 days compressive strength is taken as the output parameter. By using Gaussian membership function, the fuzzy logic technique is used for developing models. For assessing the results of FL model with experimental results, root mean square error, mean absolute error and correlation coefficient are used. The results showed that FL can be a better modeling tool and an another technique for predicting the concrete’s compressive strength.
