Concrete dependent on Portland cement is most generally utilized construction material on the planet, and its generation pursues a pattern of development. About 15% of the all-out concrete creation contains synthetic admixtures, which are chemicals added to concrete, mortar or grout at the moment of blending to change their properties, either in fresh or solidified state. Algae are photosynthetic amphibian plants that use inorganic supplements, for example, nitrogen and phosphorus. Around 71% of the world is encompassed by sea, the marine green growth naturally known as seaweeds are a differing gathering of photoautotrophic living beings of different shapes (filamentous, lace like, or plate like) that contain pigments, for example, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and xanthophyll's. It controls the substance response of Cement. It maintains a strategic distance from voids and decline porousness of the solid. To study the strength of marine brown algae concrete different percentages (5%, 10% &15%) of algae are added with cement content to determine the Compression strength , Split Tensile strength concrete ,Shrinkage test and Rapid chloride permeability test for M25, M35 & M40grades of concrete. The Slump of the marine algae concrete is increased as the percentage of Wet Marine Brown algae increases and decrease when compared with the conventional concrete and dry marine algae concrete. The concrete compressive strength is decreased with expanding 15 level of the Wet Marine Brown algae replacement to the conventional concrete and dry marine brown algae concrete. The Split Tensile strength was reduced by 15% Wet Marine Brown algae when compared with conventional concrete.

Numerous research studies have been conducted to improve the weak properties of recycled aggregate as a construction material over the last few decades. In two-stage concrete (TSC), coarse aggregates are placed in formwork, and then grout is injected with high pressure to fill up the voids between the coarse aggregates. In this experimental research, TSC was made with 100% recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). Ten percent and twenty percent bagasse ash was used as a fractional substitution of cement along with the RCA. Conventional concrete with 100% natural coarse aggregate (NCA) and 100% RCA was made to determine compressive strength only. Compressive strength reduction in the TSC was 14.36% when 100% RCA was used. Tensile strength in the TSC decreased when 100% RCA was used. The increase in compressive strength was 8.47% when 20% bagasse ash was used compared to the TSC mix that had 100% RCA. The compressive strength of the TSC at 250 °C was also determined to find the reduction in strength at high temperature. Moreover, the compressive and tensile strength of the TSC that had RCA was improved by the addition of bagasse ash.

Abstract The rigid pavement is a pavement construction in which a concrete slab is used as the top layer, which is located above the foundation or directly above the subgrade, without or with an asphalt surface layer. One type of rigid pavement used in Indonesia is rigid pavement without using reinforcement which is usually used in areas with low traffic or residential areas. Pavement without using reinforcement is the small split tensile strength so that the part of the plate will experience cracks due to stresses that cannot be avoided from traffic loads. Therefore, it is necessary to have reinforcement on the concrete slab so that the cracks do not extend. In this research, the use of copper fiber waste from electronic cables as a substitute solution for reinforcement to be used as a mixture in concrete. The experiments were carried out using fiber with variations of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% of the total weight of concrete mixture material and then tested at 28 days of concrete age. This research showed the variation of fiber weight until 1,5% increase the split tensile strength up to 32,46% and the compressive strength up to 9,16%.

Three types of concrete mixtures, 1:2:4, 1:1.5:3, and 1:1:2 were prepared for each mixture, nano-papyrus ash was added in five different dosages of 0.75, 1.5, 3, 4.5, and 6% by weight of cement; therefore, eighteen mixes would be studied in this work. Physical properties represented by dry density and slump were also measured for each mix. Moreover, to evaluate the mechanical properties development split tensile strength and compressive strength were obtained at age (7 and 28). Results manifested that the adding of nano ash developed the compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete and the maximum enhancement recognized in the mixes with a content of 4.5% nano-papyrus in each studied mixture in this work. The slump test results indicated that the workability of concrete increased with adding nano-papyrus ash gradually with increasing nanoparticles' content. As well as, dry density was significant increased with nano-papyrus ratio; greater values were recorded in mixtures with 1.5-4.5% content of nano-papyrus. When comparing the concrete mixes used, it was found that the best results were obtained with 1:1:2 mixtures. This remarkable improvement in concrete properties considers the nano-papyrus is considered a cement economical and useful replacement for traditional construction material. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091649 Full Text: PDF

Coconut Shells

High standing estimation of building materials utilized for development is a component of incredible concern. Coconut shell as a completely substitution in the place of coarse aggregate may totally effective for designers in construction industry. The coconut shell concrete is a light weight solid which may decrease the self-heap of a structure. The under taken project depends on inspecting attributes of coconut shell concrete when contrasted with conventional concrete. Coconut shells going from 10mm strainer and held on 6.3mm were considered to utilize for this study. For the current study M100 grade concrete is used to cast the specimens. The principle properties considered testing on coconut shell concrete and conventional concrete is compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. Examples were taken by supplanting coarse aggregate with coconut shells completely and cement is supplanted by silica fume with various extents of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% for compressive strength test and tests were done at 3, 7, 28, 56 and 90 days of curing, it is observed that the ideal compressive strength outcomes were obtained at 10% of silica fume. The flexural strength and  split tensile strength of the specimens are calculated with replacement of cement by silica fume with  different extents of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%, tests were done at 3, 7 and 28 days of curing. The optimum replacement percentage of cement by silica fume is 10% for compressive strength, split tensile and flexural strength. The primary principle is to lessen the utilization of natural aggregate by supplanting them with coconut shells and to decrease the density of concrete which makes concrete for simple dealing.

In this investigation, conventional concrete was made with replacing the sand by 80 % of M-sand and the cement by fillet material silica fume in varying percentages say 5%, 10 % , and 15%, to study the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. In order to the maximum strength was attained at 10% of silica fume. The result showed that by increasing the silica fume content, the strength of the M-sand concrete was decreased because higher fineness of silica fume content decreases the strength of the M-sand concrete. Secondly polymer concrete with unsaturated polyester resin with hardener MEKP, Cobalt as the accelerator and silica fume in varying percentages say 0%, 5% and 10% was made to study the compressive strength and split tensile strength of polymer concrete. In improved silica fume content the strength was high. Polymer concrete improved the mechanical properties. Polymer concrete system was mainly useful to fill the micro voids. In this research, the maximum strength was attained at 5% of silica fume filler added with polymer concrete. Thus the high strength of the concrete was obtained due to the pozzolanic reaction with the silica fume.

The study of strength behaviour of M20 grade concrete, by exchanging the cement partly by powder of egg shell, for which an experimental tests were carried out and the effect of egg shell powder (0%,5%.10%,15%) on compressive strength characteristics were studied. The result of this present investigation shows that the replacement of 5% of cement with egg shell powder attains the maximum compressive strength. The best and economical percentage exchange of replacement of powder of egg shell (ESP) with cement is about 5% and also reduces the cost of concrete with the use of powder of egg shell, which is available freely as raw material and then it is grinded well to make powder. The egg shell is available from municipal solid waste and is mixed in powder form in concrete by exchanging the cement and is found that 5% replacement is very effective in the improvement of strength properties when compared to the conventional concrete. Also the exchangement of 5% ESP in cement gives higher split tensile strength as compared to other cement ingredient mixtures. In this study, it is fixed that 0.45 is the w/c ratio and it produces medium degree of workability which is suitable for most of the concrete mixtures on site. The addition of eggshell powder as filler in concrete has improved the strength of concrete and also improved and better split tensile strength.
