Development of Environment-friendly Board in Construction Materials

In this article authors present a general consideration of the underwater part of ship’s hull protection by protective coatings, paying particular attention to antifouling paints. Following the presentation of the importance of ship’s hull maintenance and protection in order to make navigation safer and to keep the ship in operation for as long as possible, a summary is made of the main types of antifouling products used throughout the history up to the present time. As far back as a thousand years BC, people had developed techniques to protect objects from falling into disrepair and understood the importance of preserving construction materials in order to prolong their useful life and value. Marine industry has been developing day by day and attention is increasingly focused on the safety of ships and crews, as well as on the protection of marine environment. Tin-free self-polishing copolymer (SPC) and foul release technologies are currently applied, in addition to many alternative solutions being suggested. Modern approaches to effective environment-friendly antifouling systems and their performance are highlighted.

Solidified dredged materials as environment-friendly materials in construction domain are increasingly popular because of their better mechanical performance and low pollution. Based on the physical characteristic of dredged marine sediments, a series of tests, such as unconfined compressive strength test and tensile strength test, were performed to explore the mechanical properties of cement/lime-fly ash treated sediments for the beneficial use in road construction. Finally, the reinforcement mechanism of solidified sediments was explored by SEM tests from the point of view of the formation of CSH phases and the change in microstructure.

Sisal Fibers

The construction industry is one of the rapidly growing and the cost analysis suggests that the materials cost is constantly increasing. The continuous extraction of aggregates intensively used in the field is negatively acting to the environment. Therefore research in construction materials should focus not only on discovering new alternative materials but also in appreciating the quality of those locally available for their better application. This research aimed at evaluating the performance of bamboo and mud bricks as two available local building materials, especially with regards not only to their strength but also to new performance concepts which are affordability, energy efficiency and environment friendly aspects. The study comprised mainly of laboratory tests of used materials and cost estimation analysis. Study results established that the considered bamboo and mud bricks, made in ordinary soils and reinforced by sisal fibers were reusable, environment friendly materials and energy efficient, with the bamboo showing the thermal conductivity equal to 0.1496 W/mK. Regarding the compressive strength, reinforced mud bricks with sisal fibers showed an increased value from 1.75 MPA to 4.29MPA, what was in line with related previous studies. The average compressive strength of the studied Arundinaria Alpine bamboo was established at 133,7MPA, while its tensile strength was 88.16MPA and these values were reasonable with comparison to other conventional materials. It is recommended that further research in checking the performance of other types of bamboo as well as about new construction technologies be undertaken in order to enhance the service life of both bamboo and mud bricks.Keywords: Affordability, Bamboo, Conventional concrete, Materials strength, Mud reinforced bricks, Sustainability

Introduction. Reuse of construction materials, products, and structures from demolished buildings and installations is an actual problem. The solution to it will improve the ecological situation. The study is aims at the determination of the causes of urban area renovation and searches for the most efficient technologies of building demolition with the reuse of the generated materials, products, and structures. Materials and methods. The study used systematization, structural analysis, comparative analysis, a theoretical generalization of the data obtained in a detailed analysis of literary and statistical sources, field surveys of objects. When field examining, photography methods were used. Results. Existing technologies of the building demolition, construction waste recovery, and reuse of construction materials generated using innovative item-by-item demolition technologies were revealed and systematized. Causes and main trends of urban territory renovation were analyzed. The paper studied Russian and foreign technologies of the building and installation demolition. The pros and cons of various demolition types are shown in terms of their environmental friendliness and economic efficiency. Conclusions. The experience of constructing low-rise buildings and intrasettlement roads showed that the item-by-item disassembly of buildings using modern equipment and machinery with the subsequent reuse of construction materials, products, and structures is efficient, economical, and environment-friendly. It is proven that the reuse of construction materials, products, and structures results in a significant reduction in the cost of erected installations. The results of the study can be applied in low-rise construction around the world.

Sludge Ash

As a basic stage for developing new construction material utilizing sewage sludge ash, this study is identified by specific material characteristics through XRD, SEM, uniaxial compressive strength, porosity, and the drying shrinkage by manufacturing mortar with sewage sludge ash. The average drying shrinkage of sewage sludge ash mortar aged 7 days showed 88% of the strain of the one aged 28 days. The porosity of sewage sludge ash mortar was about 7~10%. The more quick lime and blast furnace slag were added, the less porosity appeared.
