Abstract:
Polymer recycling has received a great deal of attention in recent years. At the present time, small percentages of polymer wastes in Malaysia are being recycled. The recycling process has typically consisted of reprocessing the waste material to make other polymeric products or energy recovery from complete combustion. Thus, the development of concrete using non-conventional aggregates, such as polymer waste (especially polystyrene), ceramic waste, or other wastes, has been investigated to determine the comparative properties of the various concretes and the comparative costs.

Along with the development of technology to utilize waste in order to create sustainable concrete materials; therefore, this research tries to apply several artificial aggregates derived from concrete waste and fly ash. The test object was a standard concrete cylinder measuring 150 mm in diameter and 300 mm in height. Concrete was made from geopolymer coarse aggregate, treated recycled coarse aggregate, and conventional coarse aggregate. The surface hardness value was measured using a hammer test to obtain the rebound number (RN). Tests were also conducted on concrete with natural aggregate. T

Abstract:
Concrete made with large-size recycled aggregates is a new kind of recycled concrete, where the size of the recycled aggregate used is 25–80 mm, which is generally three times that of conventional aggregate. Thus, its composition and mechanical properties are different from that of conventional recycled concrete and can be applied in large-volume structures. In this study, recycled aggregate generated in two stages with randomly distributed gravels and mortar was used to replace the conventional recycled aggregate model, to observe the internal stress state and cracking of the large-size recyc

Abstract: The ongoing need for infrastructure around the world as a result of continued population growth suggests that more aggregate and cement will be needed in the manufacture of concrete. This would eventually result in greater carbon emissions, increased resource extraction, and depletion. The increasing aggregate and cement requirements are a result of the constant global demand for concrete. More extraction occurs as a result, depleting natural gravel resources and increasing CO2 emissions from quarrying operations. Construction costs and carbon emissions could both be reduced by parti

Abstract Historically, the coatings industry has prescribed 28 days of cure time for concrete before coating application. The 28-day threshold was based on conventionally specified strength gain values such as minimum 5,000 psi compressive strength at 28 days. The logic behind the adoption of the 28-day rule was twofold: The majority of minimum specified strength gain is empirically reached within the first 28 days. Therefore, if the compressive strength has mostly been achieved, then most of the tensile stress that form cracks will have developed. This assumes most of the shrinkage of the cem
