Infrastructure development is one of the important aspects of the progress of a country where most of the constituents of infrastructure are concrete. The most important constituent of concrete is cement because its function is to bind other concrete materials so that it can form a hard mass. The large number of developments using cement as a building material will leave quite a lot of cement bags.In this study, the authors conducted research on the effect of adding cement waste to the compressive strength of concrete. This study used an experimental method with a total of 24 test objects. The test object is in the form of a concrete cylinder with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm and uses variations in the composition of the addition of cement waste cement as a substitute for fine aggregate, namely 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%. K200). The compressive strength test was carried out at the age of 7 days and 28 days.The test results show that the use of waste as a partial substitute for fine aggregate results in a decrease in the compressive strength of each mixture. at the age of 7 days the variation of 2% is 16.84 MPa, 4% is 11.32 MPa and for a mixture of 6% is 6.68 MPa. Meanwhile, the compressive strength test value of 28 days old concrete in each mixture decreased by ± 6 MPa. So the conclusion is cement cement waste cannot be used as a substitute for fine aggregate in fc 16.6 (K200) quality concrete because the value is lower than the specified minimum of 16.6 MPa.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

In construction world concrete plays a vital role, around 60% of structure consists of Concrete. However, the production of Portland cement, an essential constituent of concrete, leads to the release of significant amounts of CO2, depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation. This paper investigates the compressive strength of concrete by replacing cement with GGBS and silica fume effect of glass fibers on performance of concrete is studied. In this present work a humble attempt had been made to evaluate and compare the compressive strengths of GGBS blended concrete cubes with controlled concrete cubes cured under sea water for 28 days. By conducting the tests on the cubes, conclusions were drawn after plotting and analyzing the results. Compressive strength test is conducted on the samples after 28 days. The optimum value is obtained at 15% replacement with GGBS and 5% with Silica fume. In this study again we trailed addition with Glass fibers with the percentage of 0.5%,1.0%,1.5%, compressive strength have been studied. Finally at 1.0% addition we get maximum strength compared to controlled mix.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

The compressive strength of concrete is the most basic and considerable material property while reinforced concrete structures are designed. It has become a problem to use this value, however, because the control specimen sizes and shapes from country to country may be dissimilar. The study presents the results of an experiment that examined the effect of specimen size on the different classes of compressive strengths of concrete. The study included casting specimens, cubes, and six different classes of the concrete mixture. Compression tests were conducted at the age of 3, 7, and 28 days on 150 mm & 100 mm cube samples. The fresh properties of concrete were measured by slump and unit weights tests. Moreover, the specimen size of concrete has an important role both on the compressive strength and capacity of a curing cabinet. Correlations between compressive strengths and sizes of specimens are compatible for classes of structural concretes. Therefore, it can be used in curing cabinet varying sizes of concretes like 150 mm & 100 mm cube samples. Although almost 220 concrete specimens sized of 150 mm cube can be poured in curing tank, roughly 585 concrete specimens can be poured with using 100 mm cube concrete specimens. The most convenient size resulted from this study is suggested as 100 mm sized cubic specimen that it promote to change the law for concrete both curing and compressive strength test.

Geopolymer Paste

The main basic ingredients needed for the manufacture of this geopolymer material are materials that contain a lot of silica and aluminia elements. The 1st stage test was carried out to determine the geopolymer paste with the maximum compressive strength at the ratio of NaOH to Na2SiO3 of 1; 1.5; 2; 2.5. The second stage of testing was carried out using a geopolymer paste with the highest compressive strength, namely the ratio of NaOH to Na2SiO3 of 2.5 with a compressive strength of 22.56 MPa. Based on the results of the compressive strength test, the maximum compressive strength at the age of 28 days is 7.64 MPa. The results of the compressive strength of concrete are much lower than the compressive strength of the paste, it shows that the paste does not bind too much with the aggregate. This is evidenced by the results of the compressive strength of conventional concrete which is much higher than that of geopolymer concrete using the same aggregate. With the results of the maximum compressive strength at the age of 28 days is 29.51 MPa.

This study investigates the effect of aggregate size on the compressive strength of concrete. Two nominal mixes, that is, 1:2:4 and 1:3:6 were used in the study. Concrete cubes were produced with 6, 10, 12.5, 20 and 25 mm aggregates for the two nominal mixes and they were subjected to compressive strength test after curing for 7, 21, 28 and 56 days. It was found in the study that the strength development follows the same trend for both nominal mixes. Also, the results show that the compressive strength increases with increasing aggregate size up to 12.5 mm, while the concrete produced using 20 mm had greater compressive strength than those produced using 25 mm aggregate. This established the importance of ensuring that the right aggregate size is used in the production of concrete. Therefore, it is recommended that careful attention must be paid to the sizes of aggregates used in the production of concrete for structural purposes.

This research work involved the preliminary studies of CaAl-LDHs using co precipitation method and applying it in the preparation of concrete to evaluate the compressive strength in grade 15 concrete. Slum and compressive strength test were carried out on the concrete control and concrete mixed with CaAl-LDH, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffractogram (XRD) was carried out on the synthesize LDH, concrete control, and concrete mixed with LDH. From the results obtained in the work failure load test, it was observed that there was an increase by 62.60% in the compressive strength of concrete mixed with 30kg of CaAl-LDHs, the SEM micrograph also shows the increase in the density and the less porosity of the concrete mixed with CaAl-LDH which explained the increase in the compressive strength of the concrete. CaAl-LDH has therefore shows a promising effect on the increase on the compressive strength of concrete.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

The partial replacement of cement by mineral additions such as metakaolin has been widely applied in the production of high-strength and durable concretes due to the pozzolanic action, allowing a reduction in the consumption of cement. Tests are performed to determine the mechanical properties of these materials, such as compressive strength, for which there are different levelling techniques of specimens, such as sulphur and neoprene, indicated for different resistance classes. The present study aimed to characterize the behaviour, in the hardened state, of concrete produced with high initial strength Portland cement (CPV-ARI) and metakaolin and evaluate the different levelling methods. Three groups of samples dosed by the IPT-EPUSP method, with mix designs of 1:3, 1:5, and 1:6, and replacements of 8 and 10% of cement by metakaolin, were subjected to compressive strength test, at the ages of 28 days, with levelling by neoprene, and 90 days, with levelling by sulphur. It was observed an increase in strength with addition of metakaolin at both ages. Comparing the results in the two ages, it was verified an increase in strength for the mix designs 1:5 and 1:6 and a reduction for the mix design 1:3. Such fact can be explained by the high strengths achieved by this mix design. As the levelling method used was sulphur, it is confirmed the imprecision of results for strengths above 50 MPa with this technique.

Metakaolin, a supplementary cementitious material, together or separately with silica fume and fly ash, has been widely used as a replacement material for cement. This research is to determine the effect of metakaolin replacement of cement (0%, 7%, 9% and 12 %) to the 3, 7, 14 and 28-day compressive strengths of wet cured concrete at water/cement ratio of 0.4 and design strength of 40 MPa. The workability of the fresh concrete was measured through slump and compacting factor tests. Results show that the workability of the fresh concrete decreased up to 80% at metakaolin replacement of 12%. Replacing metakaolin by 12 %, on the other hand, had resulted in the highest compressive strength, which is 48.5 MPa at 28 days compared to control and other percentages of replacement. The porosity measured on the broken samples taken from the compressive strength test shows that the pore diameter size of metakaolin concrete is almost 93% finer than the controlled concrete, which had contributed to the increased in the strength. The use of metakaolin as supplementary cementitiuos material is hoped to be able to replace or stand tall as others similar to it in the market either due to its strength or cost.
