Shale ceramsite concrete is a kind of light weight aggregate concrete. In this paper shale ceramsite concrete compressive strength properties are studied by experimental preparation of different water cement ratio, and made an analysis of compressive strength comparatively among 7 days, 28 days, 56 days. The result shows that the rules of compressive strength of shale ceramsite concrete are in line with the general law strength of concrete, and increases with the age increasing, decreases with water cement ratio increasing, but they are not entirely linear relationship.

Mixing Water

The present work studies the influence of water-cement ratio and types of mixing water on the hydration process and microstructure of calcium sulphoaluminate (CSA) cement. Experimental tests on the setting time, physical properties, compressive strength, chemical shrinkage, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of CSA cement paste were carried out. The XRD analysis confirmed that the main hydration product is ettringite in both freshwater and seawater mixed CSA cement with different w/c ratios. The SEM analysis and physical properties test show that both low w/c ratio and seawater can improve the microstructure of CSA cement. The test results also find out that the high w/c ratio can accelerate the hydration process, extend the setting time, lower the compressive strength, and increase the chemical shrinkage of CSA cement, and the seawater presents a similar influence except for the mechanical property. The seawater increases the compressive strength of CSA cement in the early stage of hydration but will increase the microcracks at the later hydration stage of CSA cement and reduce its mechanical properties.

The Impact

The mixture proportion of recycled concrete was discussed by orthogonal design method. The influence of water-cement ratio, recycled aggregate quantity on workability, cube compressive strength of recycled concrete was analyzed. The experimental results indicated that，Recycled concrete mix proportion design should consider the impact of the water absorption of recycled aggregate. Unit water amount of recycled concrete should be plain concrete unit water consumption and recycled aggregate additional amount of water. Sand ratio should increase in the corresponding ordinary aggregate concrete sand ratio on the basis of 1 to 3 percent. When the water-cement ratio is 0.36 and construction waste content of 40% slag content of 20%, 28d compressive strength of concrete is 48.1MPa, slightly higher than the reference concrete (48.0MPa).

Influence Of Water

To figure out the physical and mechanical performance of graphite foam concrete，orthogonal test was applied to ascertain four factors for graphite foamed cement-based material (GFCBM). The influence of water cement ratio, graphite content, hydrogen peroxide content and sodium sulfite content on the dry density, porosity and compressive strength was also discussed. The results show that sodium sulfite has a relatively significant effect on the physical and mechanical performance. The dry density and compressive strength increases first and then decrease with the water cement ratio, adding of hydrogen peroxide and sodium sulfite increasing and increase with adding of the graphite. The trend of porosity is opposite to the dry density and compressive strength. The optimal scheme for this experiment is water cement ratio 0.68, 5% graphite, 8% hydrogen peroxide and 6% sodium sulfate.

The work presents the results of an experimental campaign carried out on concrete elements in order to investigate the potential of using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to estimate the compressive strength based on relevant parameters, such as the water–cement ratio, aggregate–cement ratio, age of testing, and percentage cement/metakaolin ratios (5% and 10%). We prepared 162 cylindrical concrete specimens with dimensions of 10 cm in diameter and 20 cm in height and 27 prismatic specimens with cross sections measuring 25 and 50 cm in length, with 9 different concrete mixture proportions. A longitudinal transducer with a frequency of 54 kHz was used to measure the ultrasonic velocities. An ANN model was developed, different ANN configurations were tested and compared to identify the best ANN model. Using this model, it was possible to assess the contribution of each input variable to the compressive strength of the tested concretes. The results indicate an excellent performance of the ANN model developed to predict compressive strength from the input parameters studied, with an average error less than 5%. Together, the water–cement ratio and the percentage of metakaolin were shown to be the most influential factors for the compressive strength value predicted by the developed ANN model.

The construction waste was processed into recycled aggregate to produce solid construction waste brick with grade of MU20. The preparation process of recycled aggregate and the optimal value of mass ratio of water to cement (water cement ratio) and mass ratio of recycled aggregate to cement was studied. The results shows that when the water cement ratio is 0.86 and the mass ratio of recycled aggregate to cement is 5.5 and the dosage of activator is 0.25% (mass fraction with recycled aggregate), the compressive strength of sample is 22.5MPa and can be satisfied with the requirement of MU20 solid concrete brick.

Expanded Shale

Expanded shale lightweight aggregates, as the coarse aggregates, were used to produce lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) in this research. At the fixed water-cement ratio, paste quantity, and aggregate volume, the effects of various aggregate gradations on the engineering properties of LWAC were investigated. Comparisons to normal-weight concrete (NWC) made under the same conditions were carried out. From the experimental results, using normal weight aggregates that follow the specification requirements (standard gradation) obtained similar NWC compressive strength to that using uniform-sized aggregates. However, the compressive strength of LWAC made using small uniform-sized aggregates was superior to that made from standard-grade aggregates. This is especially conspicuous under the low water-cement ratio. Even though the workability was affected, this problem could be overcome with developed chemical additive technology. The durability properties of concrete were approximately equal. Therefore, it is suggested that the aggregate gradation requirement of LWAC should be distinct from that of NWC. In high strength LWAC proportioning, following the standard gradation suggested by American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is optional.

In order to study the coal and gas outburst similar simulation experiment, coal similar material was made up based on the similarity theory. Based on the previous similar material study, the cement, sand, water, activated carbon and coal powder was selected as the raw material of similar material. Meanwhile similar material matching program with 5 factors and 6 levels was designed by using Uniform Design Method. And the physical and mechanical properties of the similar material compressive strength was measured under different proportions circumstances. The relationship between similar material and the raw materials was analyzed. The results show that choosing different materials can compound different similar materials with different requirements. And the water-cement ratio plays a decisive influence on the compressive strength of similar material. The compressive strength of similar material decreases linearly when the water-cement ratio increases.

In this research work, the effect of mound soil on concrete produced with river sand was investigated. A mixed proportion of 1.1.8:3.7 with water cement ratio of 0.47 were used. The percentage replacement of river sand with mound soil is 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%. Concrete cubes of 150mm x 150mm x150mm of river sand/mound soil were cast and cured at 3, 7, 28, 60 and 90 days respectively. At the end of each hydration period, the three cubes for each hydration period were crushed and their average compressive strength recorded. A total of ninety (90) concrete cubes were cast. The result of the compressive strength test for 5- 40% replacement of river sand with mound soil ranges from 24.00 -42.58N/mm2 a against 23.29-36.08N/mm2 for the control test (0% replacement).The workability of concrete produced with 5- 40% replacement of river sand with mound soil ranges from 47- 62mm as against 70mm for the control test.
