Abstract:

The production of cement and concrete contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions. Alkali-activated concretes (AACs) are a family of existing alternative construction materials that could reduce the current environmental impact of Portland cement (PC) production and utilisation. Successful applications of AACs can be found in Europe and the former USSR since the 1950s and more recently in Australia, China and North America, proving their potential as construction materials. However, their utilisation is limited presently by the lack of normative and construction guidelines. Ra

Abstract:

High strength concrete (HSC) has been used extensively in civil construction projects worldwide because it reduces the cross section and the weight of long construction members. In recent years a marked increase in the use of High Strength Concrete (HSC) has been evident in Australian building construction despite the fact that the current Australian design standard provides no design rules for such a material. Very limited information on the properties of HSC and its design and construction processes are available in Australia, although in recent times many studies have been undertaken to pro

Abstract:

Quarry aggregate reserves are depleting rapidly within Australia and the rest of the world due to an increasing demand for aggregates driven by expansion in construction. The annual production of premix concrete in Australia is approximately 30 million cubic meters, while 3–5% of concrete delivered to site remains unused and is disposed of in landfill or crushing plants. The production of coarse aggregates using this waste concrete is potentially a sustainable approach to reduce environmental and economic impact.

Utilising geopolymer as a construction material has gained institutional and commercial interest over the past decade, due to its favourable emissions profile as an alternative to carbon-intensive Ordinary Portland Cement-based concrete, which currently accounts for around 7% of global carbon emissions. While significant research has been performed into the material properties of geopolymer, the commercialisation of the technology is still in its infancy, and several key barriers require rectification to facilitate more widespread adoption.

A significant change to the building bylaws by the Wellington City Council in the early 1920s allowed for the design and erection of much taller buildings in the central city than had previously been permitted. Coupled with the use of steel frames and concrete floors, buildings started to reach eight or nine storeys; not tall by American standards, but regarded as skyscrapers in a city where three- and four-storey buildings were still the norm. The fact that several of the most prominent of these new buildings were designed mainly by Australian architects, both in the 1920s and the early 1930s

Abstract:

In this paper ,the axes of a three-span dumbbell-shaped steel tube concrete arch bridge was changed due to deviation in bridge piers, tie beam construction and steel tube production, thereby steel tube arch ring can not be closed, and suspender hole can not be aligned. The side-span hollow steel tubes were intercepted and adjusted for three times through calculation and analysis, therefore the structure stress is reasonable and achieved original design standards under the condition of not changing the original arch axes, and the bridge was successfully constructed, thereby providing reference

According to the construction specification and relevant data collected from construction situ, quality of cement concrete in pavement of highway was evaluated by statistic result of flexural strength in this paper. The assessment and analysis were based on three statistic parameters of flexural strength, which are the qualified value of flexural strength, the minimum of flexural strength and variation coefficient of flexural strength, respectively. The estimating results could be summarized that the pavement concrete had been endowed with stronger flexural strength and better stability so to

In this modern technological era today, green materials are highly regarded as one of the most important elements when designing and conducting an environmentally sustainable construction project. The cement that is utilized in conventional concrete today is one of the culprits for the high levels of carbon dioxide generated, which is damaging to the environment. Many researchers have shown and suggested that cement substitution is a favorite technique for minimizing the generation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as substituting unused raw materials with concrete.

Many old dams are in need of strengthening and rehabilitation as a result of aging, deterioration, deficiencies in design and construction, and more stringent safety standards. These standards include the probable maximum flood and the maximum credible earthquake. Post-tensioned anchors are the most practical and cost-effective method of strengthening existing concrete dams subjected to direct tension, sliding, overturning and seismic loading. In some cases, they are used to stabilize rock abutments and concrete locks and to combat the effects of alkaline and aggregate reaction. The post-tensi

Abstract:

Prefabricated construction is an emerging industry in Australia and considered a key mechanism to boost productivity in the construction industry. The use of fibre reinforced concrete has a huge potential in the prefabricated industry as the concrete can be delivered straight to the precast mould, eliminating in many cases the steel reinforcement, thus increasing production quotas and cost savings. Such results can be further improved by utilising self-compacting concrete reinforced with fibres. Although the use of steel fibres as reinforcement is now well established, in the precast industry
