Coated Recycled Aggregate Concrete Exposed To Elevated Temperature
By Arundeb Gupta Somnath Ghosh & Saroj Mandal
Jadavpur University, India Abstract - An experimental investigation has been conducted to study the mechanical as well as micro structural properties of Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) with uncoated and Geopolymer / Cement coated recycled aggregate exposed to elevated temperature. Fly ash (as replacement of cement) was added while making concrete. Cubes test specimens were prepared and cured under water for 28 days. Test specimens were exposed to different levels of temperature (400oC, 600oC, 800oC) for a period of 6 hours in the muffle furnace. The reduction in compressive strength was observed are in the ranges from 23.4% to as high as 50.3% when exposed to different elevated temperature. MIP (Mercury intrusion porosimetry) test was conducted to estimate the pore diameter and also to appreciate the change of total pore volume due to change of exposure temperature. SEM (Scanning electron microscopy) study was also done to appreciate the micro-structural change in recycled aggregate concrete.

    Construction: Recycling and Energy

    There is a close relationship between the energy we use and global warming. We can therefore try to reduce the amount of energy we use in construction by specifying materials that have lower embodied energy. Natural timber products are excellent examples as they absorb carbon during growth and cost little to convert into a useable construction product. Cement –based products, contain high levels of embedded energy, careful consideration should be given before using these products or alternative products should be sought.…

    UHPC

    UHPC is a cementitious composite material composed of an optimized gradation of granular constituents, a water-to-cementitious materials ratio less than 0.25, and a high percentage of discontinuous internal fiber reinforcement. The mechanical properties of UHPC include compressive strength greater than 21.7 ksi (150 MPa) and sustained postcracking tensile strength greater than 0.72 ksi (5 MPa). Ultra-high performance concrete has a discontinuous pore structure that reduces liquid ingress, significantly enhancing durability as compared to conventional and high-performance concretes.…

    L-Box Test Lab Report

    Abstract --- Reutilization of waste materials in the building industry helps to prevent environmental pollution whilst contributing to the design of more economical buildings. Over the years, there has been increase in the accumulation of tyre rubber due to the increase in the production of vehicles. Sometimes this waste tyre rubber is burned which leads to environmental pollution. So the use of this type waste tyre rubber for the replacement of aggregates in concrete leads to the decrease in the accumulation of waste tyre rubber and also reduces pollution. Another problem that we are facing is the durability of concrete structures. In order to get durable structures adequate compaction by skilled workers is required. Now a day there is a reduction in skilled workers. This leads…

    Los Angeles Abrasion Test

    The properties of aggregates used in asphalt concretes are very important to the performance of the pavements in which the asphalt concretes are used. Often pavement distress, such as stripping and rutting, can be traced directly to the aggregates used. Clearly, proper aggregate selection is necessary for attaining desired performance. The aggregate used in surface course of the highway pavements are subjected to wearing due to movement of traffic. When vehicles move on the road, the soil particles present between the pneumatic tyres and road surface cause abrasion of road aggregates. The steel reamed wheels of animal driven vehicles also cause considerable abrasion of the road surface. Therefore, the road aggregates should be hard enough to resist abrasion. Resistance to abrasion of aggregate is determined in laboratory by Los Angeles test machine.…

    Compressive Strength Changes with Salinity

    Concrete is one of the most commonly used structural materials. It is made by simply mixing cement, aggregate, sand and water in the “right” proportion. The strength of concrete varies even with the slightest variation in the ratio or quality of its ingredients. Concrete properties are highly influenced by the water type used and its proportion in the concrete mix, but actually there is little knowledge of the effects of different, alternative water sources used in concrete mix design. Therefore, the identification of the level and nature of contamination in available water sources and their subsequent influence on concrete properties is becoming increasingly important.…

    Reuse of Textile Etp Sludge as Construction Material

    Textile sludge has been collected from (CETP), Tirupur and studied its chemical, physical and engineering properties. The collected sludge was dried to reduce its moisture content and then sieved to remove the dusts present in that. The sieved sludge was then mixed with the concrete cubes and mortar cubes in 4%, 8% and 12%. The cast specimens were then cured for 7 days, 14 days and 28 days. The cured specimens were tested for its compressive strength. Then hollow blocks, pavement blocks and mortar bricks were cast and cured for 7, 14 and 28 days. The cured specimens were tested for its compressive strength. The strength of the specimens was compared with the reference specimens. The strength of the specimens was found to decrease with increase in the…

    Dsmac Mobile Crusher for Construction Waste Crushing Plant in Ethiopia Was Installed

    With the development of urbanization, the city reconstruction is going on. There are a lot of construction waste piled at the same time. It not only occupies land resource, but also brings pollution for environment. However, construction waste is not just the waste, but an effective and recycling resource if used properly. The recycled construction waste can be used as coarse or fine aggregate, which is the substitution for natural aggregate for making concrete, road base material and bricks, and so on. In this process, the choose of crushing equipment plays a critical role.…

    Polymer Concrete

    It is referred that the concrete is porous. The porosity is due to air-voids, water voids or due to the inherent porosity of gel structure itself. On account of the porosity, the strength of concrete is naturally reduced. It is conceived by many research workers that reduction of porosity results in increase of strength of concrete. Therefore, process like vibration, pressure application spinning etc., have been practiced mainly to reduce porosity. All these methods have been found to be helpful to a great extent, but none of these methods could really help to reduce the water voids and the inherent porosity of gel which is estimated to be about 28%. The impregnation of monomer and…
