Abstract:

With the development of new cement-based raw materials, foaming agents and fillers used for special applications of foam concrete, the use of foam concretes has become widespread. Foam concrete is a type of concrete that stands out with its lightness, waste potential, controlled low strength, thermal insulation, acoustics performance, and durability. The knowledge base is still developing for this particular building material. This article describes in detail the fresh, hardened, and physical properties of foam concrete.

Abstract:

Reducing waste from industrial production is a major issue of our time. The concrete industry is looking for ways to deal with the fresh concrete slurry waste that is produced during production. Worldwide, this sludge is often filtered and used for further application. However, in many concrete plants, such a facility is not economically beneficial and therefore solutions are being looked for to recover the slurry water without major modifications. This article deals with the recovery of sludge water in its fresh state immediately after its generation from concrete production. The tested concr

Silica fume (SF) modifies interfacial transition zone between cement paste and aggregate at the micro level. Properties of both fresh and hardened silica fume concrete are affected significantly compared to normal concrete. Experiments indicate that concretes become more cohesive and less prone to segregation in the presence of silica fume, moreover, performance of water demand, setting of time, plastic shrinkage varies respectively from concretes without silica fume.

Concrete mixtures have an optimized mix design in view of attaining desired properties. However, after mixing, during further processing, it is typically not possible to further adjust the performance of the fresh and hardening concrete. A new and emerging approach is to actively control the concrete properties by means of responsive particles or polymers triggered by an externally applied signal. Active control of properties of concrete refers to the concept of on- demand changes of one or more properties of the concrete after mixing by triggering a response to one or more of the constituents

Preventing these cracks therefore remains a problem in practice.

There are several factors that affect the fresh concrete workability: water demand and composition of Portland cement, properties of fine and coarse aggregates, presence of superplasticizer and others admixtures, etc. Influence of quantity and fineness of ground quartz additives as well as polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer amount on workability of fresh concrete was studied in the paper. The properties of fresh mixture (slump) and hardened concrete (compressive strength at the age of 24 hours, 28 and 360 days) were estimated.

Abstract:

Self compacting concrete has ability involves not only high deformability of paste or mortar, but also resistance to segregation between coarse aggregate and mortar when the concrete flows through the confined zone of reinforcing bars. Several researchers have employed the different methods to achieve self- compactability. In recent years, self-compacting concrete (SCC) has gained wide use for placement in congested reinforced concrete structures with difficult casting conditions. For such applications, the fresh concrete must possess high fluidity and good cohesiveness. The initial results of

Abstract:

The use of recycled aggregates from demolished constructions as coarse aggregates for concrete becomes a need to reduce the negative effects on the environment. Internal curing is a technique that can be used to provide additional moisture in concrete for more effective hydration of cement to reduce the water evaporation from concrete, increase the water retention capacity of concrete compared to the conventionally cured concrete. High strength concrete as a special concrete type has a high strength with extra properties compared to conventional concrete. In this research, the combination of p

Abstract:

This study aims at evaluating effect of fiber types on comprehensive property of a practical fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) applied for hydraulic construction. Three fiber types including polypropylene, glass, and steel fiber were used to replace concrete volume at 0.3 vol.%. Experimental results illustrated that when compared with the reference concrete, the fiber reinforced concretes with steel or glass fiber had comparable or slight changes on the fresh properties. But, addition of polypropylene fiber induced the fresh FRC with decreased slump flow and significantly increased air entrained

Abstract:

Self-compacting concrete represents a unique type of concrete that achieves self-compression through its mass, eliminating the need for external vibrations. The mechanical characteristics of self-compacting concrete can be enhanced by incorporating agricultural waste materials as partial substitutes for cement. In this experimental study, a graded M30 concrete mix was employed to produce self-compacting concrete by replacing cement with 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14% of sugarcane bagasse ash and rice husk ash. To assess the concrete's properties, both in its fresh and hardened states, several tests wer

Abstract:

The growth of global construction has contributed to an inevitable increase in the amount of construction and demolition (C&D) waste, and the recycling of C&D waste as aggregates in concrete is receiving increased interest, resulting in less demand for normal aggregates and bringing a potential solution for the landfilling of wastes. Recently, several studies have focused on the use of C&D waste in alkali-activated concrete to move one step closer to sustainable concretes. This paper focuses on the main mechanisms of using C&D waste in the resulting physical, mechanical, and du

The influence of sand mud is lighter than planting mud on the fluidity and strength of concrete.

Concrete is increasingly utilized in the construction field in Southern Nevada. This area has an arid and hot summer and freezing cold winter conditions. These extreme conditions affect the properties of fresh concrete, which can cause cracking. Hot weather conditions may adversely affect both fresh and hardened concrete properties. Even though practices can minimize the detrimental effects, good quality control of fresh concrete, from mixing to finishing, is crucial under hot weather conditions. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the seasonal consistency of concrete quality, co

Abstract:

Environmental preservation has been a theme debated in virtually every country in the world. Many measures are being taken to reduce the environmental impact due to unplanned development. Growing environmental restrictions to the exploitation of sand from riverbeds have resulted in a search for alternative materials to produce fine aggregates, particularly near to larger metropolitan areas. Artificial fine aggregates then appear as an attractive alternative to natural fine aggregates for concrete. This work is the final part of a study about the use of residues in concretes.
