A new non-cement blended materials is developed as a full replacement of cement without alkali activator. This study was conducted to explore a suitable method for activating new ternary green materials with desulfurization gypsum, water-quenched blast-furnace slag and co-fired fly ash from circulating fluidized bed combustion as non-cement inorganic binder. Test subject was included flowability, compressive strength, absorption, total charge-passed from rapid chloride permeability test, chloride diffusion coefficient from accelerated chloride migration test and SEM observation. Test results indicate that a ternary mixture containing 1% desulfurization gypsum, 60% water-quenched blast-furnace slag and 39% co-fired fly ash was a suitable development in compressive strength. The new non-cement blended materials were performed a well compressive strength, lower absorption, and lower chloride diffusion coefficient. In addition, the compressive strength decreased as the inclusion of desulfurization gypsum increased. It was concluded that using desulfurization gypsum alone decreased the setting time and compressive strength. SEM micrographs were verified the development in compressive strength originated from the C-S-H and C-A-S-H gel produced by Ca(OH)2, SiO2, and Al2O3.

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement is the main cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures in marine environments. The penetration of chlodride ions into concrete cover that accelerates corrosion process of steel reinforcement, this affects the bearing capacity of structures. This paper investigates on chloride permeability cheracteristic of concrete using blast furnace slag in terms of chloride diffusion coefficient and chloride binding capacity. The concrete used in this research has grade of 45MPa and the slag content replacement of cement PC50 is in range of 0% - 70%. The chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete is determined by ASTM C1202 and NordTest NT Build 492. Results showed that the blast furnace slag replacement increases (from 0% to 50%), the chloride ion diffusion coeffient decreases and bound chloride content in concrete increases. It is clear to conclude that blast furnace slag can be used to replace cement PC50 in range of 30% to 40% in order to increase the resistance of concrete to chloride penetration without affecting concrete strength.

In recent years, sustainability and environmental effect of concrete became the main concern. Substituting cement with the other cementitious material without decreasing mechanical properties of a mixture could save energy, reduce greenhouse effect due to mining, calcination and limestone refining. Therefore, some industrial by-products such as fly ash, silica fume, and Ground Iron Blast Furnace Slag (GIBFS) would be used in this study to substitute cement and aggregate. This substitution would be applied on the porous concrete mixture to minimize the environmental effect. Slag performance will be optimized by trying out variations of fly ash, silica fume, and slag as cement substitution material in mortar mixture. The result is narrowed into two types of substitution. First, reviewed from the fly ash substitution effect on binder material, highest compressive strength 16.2 MPa was obtained from mixture composition 6% fly ash, 3% silica fume and 17% grinding granular blast-furnace slag. Second, reviewed from slag types as cement substitution and silica fume substitution, highest compressive strength 15.2 MPa was obtained from mortar specimens with air-cooled blast furnace slag. It composed with binder material 56% Portland composite cement, 15% fly ash, 3% silica fume and 26% air-cooled blast furnace slag. Considering the cement substitution, the latter mixture was chosen.

Abstract: Soil stabilization has become the more issue in construction activity. In this study we focus on improvement of soil by using Fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). In many villages there was demolition of houses due to flood situation and landslide so stabilization of soil is very important factor in this area. In these studies we use local Fly ash and Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) for stabilization of soil. Soil are generally stabilized to increase their strength and durability or to prevent soil erosion. The properties of soil vary a great deal at different places or in certain cases even at one place the success of soil stabilization depends on soil testing. Various methods are there to stabilize soil and the method should be verified in the lab with the soil material before applying it on the field. The various percentages of Fly ash and GGBS were mixed with soil sample to conduct soil test. Using fly ash reduces the plasticity index which has potential impact on engineering properties also GGBS has cementations property which acts as binding material for the soil. On addition of 15% Fly ash and 5% GGBS increase the strength of soil (according to IS2720:1985) it’s recommended for better result.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on geopolymer coatings (GPC) in terms of surface protection of civil structures. The GPC mixtures were prepared with a quadruple precursor simultaneously containing fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS), metakaolin (MK), and Portland cement (OPC). Setting time, compressive along with adhesive strength and permeability, were tested and interpreted from a perspective of potential applications. The preferred GPC with favorable setting time (not shorter than 120 min) and desirable compressive strength (not lower than 35 MPa) was selected from 85 mixture formulations. The results indicate that balancing strength and setting behavior is viable with the aid of the multi-componential precursor and the mixture design based on total molar ratios of key oxides or chemical elements. Adhesive strength of the optimized GPC mixtures was ranged from 1.5 to 3.4 MPa. The induced charge passed based on a rapid test of coated concrete specimens with the preferred GPC was 30% lower than that of the uncoated ones. Setting time of GPC was positively correlated with η[Si/(Na+Al)]. An abrupt increase of setting time occurred when the molar ratio was greater than 1.1. Compressive strength of GPC was positively affected by mass contents of ground granulated blast furnace slag, metakaolin and ordinary Portland cement, and was negatively affected by mass content of fly ash, respectively. Sustained seawater immersion impaired the strength of GPC to a negligible extent. Overall, GPC potentially serves a double purpose of satisfying the usage requirements and achieving a cleaner future.

Concretes based on alkaliactivated binders have attracted considerable attention as new alternative construction materials, which can substitute Portland Cement (OPC) in several applications. These binders are obtained through the chemical reaction between an alkaline activator and reactive aluminosilicate materials, also named precursors. Commonly used precursors are fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (GBFS), and metakaolin. The present study evaluated properties such as compressive strength, rate of water absorption (sorptivity), and chloride permeability in two types of alkaliactivated concretes (AAC): FA/GBFS 80/20 and GBFS/OPC 80/20. OPC and GBFS/OPC* concretes without alkaliactivation were used as reference materials. The highest compressive strength was observed in the FA/GBFS concrete, which reported 26,1% greater strength compared to OPC concrete after 28 days of curing. The compressive strength of alkaliactivated FA/GBFS 80/20 and GBFS/OPC 80/20 was 61 MPa and 42 MPa at 360 days of curing, respectively. These AAC showed low permeability to the chloride ion and a reduced water absorption. It is concluded that these materials have suitable properties for various applications in the construction sector.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity characteristics of high performance concrete. These tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of HPC for up to 7 and 28 days. Mixtures were prepared with water to binder ratio of 0.40. Two mixtures were containing fly ash at 25%, silica fume at 5% cement replacement, respectively. Another mixture was contains blast furnace slag and fly ash at 25%. Three standard 100¥a200 cylinder specimens were prepared. HPC showed improvement in the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength when ordinary Portland cement was replaced with silica fume. Compare with specimens FA25 and BS25FA25, specimen SF5 showed much more modulus of elasticity. It shows that the use of the blast furnace slag of 25% and fly ash of 25% cement replacement has caused a small increase in compressive strength and splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity compared to the only use of fly ash of 25% at 28days. The results indicated that the use of blast furnace slag or silica fume provided the good performance compare to fly ash when the mechanical properties of the high performance concretes were taken into account.
