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:
Even for the construction of conventional buildings, materials for construction expense is unnecessarily rising, and this is becoming a major factor impacting the global housing market. This has made research into the economy of building materials necessary. In this regard, concretes have been created that partially substitute conventional aggregates with Demolished Concrete Waste (DCW) as coarse and fine aggregates. By bridging concrete cracks, the steel fibers’ characteristic helps to increase the inherent tensile strength of the material. For the purposes of this study, three distinct combi

Abstract:
Fly ash based geopolymer concrete, one of the environment friendly alternatives to conventional concrete, is expected to behave better at elevated temperatures. However limited information is available about its behaviour at elevated temperatures. This paper presents the engineering properties of fly ash based geopolymer concrete after exposure to elevated temperatures and compares the corresponding results with those of a conventional concrete having almost the same compressive strength of geopolymer concrete (at ambient temperature). The specimens were heated at a constant rate (5.5 °C /minu

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;The mechanical properties of concrete deteriorate at high temperatures. Strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) are a special class of fiber-reinforced concretes that exhibit strain-hardening behavior in direct tension. The mechanical behavior of a SHCC made using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers is characterized after exposure to temperatures up to 800°C. The effects of temperature on compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of rupture are reported. For comparison, a normal strength conventional concrete of similar compressive strength to the SHCC was heated

Abstract:
A High-Strength Reduced-Modulus High Performance Concrete (HSRM-HPC) for use in prestressed concrete rail ties has been developed by the authors. The HSRM-HPC material was originally considered for highway bridges but was rejected because of the accidental finding of the low modulus of elasticity. It is shown that the elastic modulus of the HSRM-HPC is reduced as much as 50% compared to the conventional HPC of the same strength while preserving all other properties of the conventional HPC. The use of the more flexible HSRM-HPC in concrete ties leads to reduced stress amplitudes and regularized

Abstract:
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a relatively modern class of concrete with properties that include very high compressive strengths, increased tensile strengths, very low permeability, and superior durability compared to conventional, normal-strength concrete. As research of this material continues to progress, its applications under both military and civil works categories expand. However, mixture and structural design guidance using UHPC is limited, particularly in the United States. This special report provides an overview of UHPC as initial guidance for the US Army Corps of Engine

Abstract:
High-volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC) has improved durability and sustainability properties at a lower cost than conventional concrete, but its early-age properties like strength gain, setting time, and air entrainment can present challenges for application to concrete pavements. This research report helps with the implementation of HVFAC for pavement applications by providing guidelines for HVFAC mix design, testing protocols, and new tools for better quality control of HVFAC properties. Calorimeter tests were performed to evaluate the effects of fly ash sources, cement–fly ash interactions, c

High-volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC) is more cost-efficient, sustainable, and durable than conventional concrete. This report presents a state-of-the-art review of HVFAC properties and different fly ash characterization methods. The main challenges identified for HVFAC for pavements are its early-age properties such as air entrainment, setting time, and strength gain, which are the focus of this research. Five fly ash sources in Illinois have been repeatedly characterized through x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence, and laser diffraction over time. The fly ash oxide compositions from the sam

Abstract:
Cracks and their formations in concrete structures have been a common and long-lived problem, mainly due to the intrinsic brittleness of the concrete. Concrete structures, such as rigid pavement and bridge decks, are prone to deformations and deteriorations caused by shrinkage, temperature fluctuation, and traffic load, which can affect their service life. Rehabilitation of concrete structures is expensive and challenging—not only from maintenance viewpoints but also because they cannot be used for services during maintenance. It is critical to significantly improve the ductility of concrete t

In this article, the merits of a thermo-mechanical framework to estimate properties of high-strength concrete are evaluated for potential standardization as a test method. Previous work conducted by the authors was summarized to show the individual advancements toward development of a laboratory testing framework. Most notably, laboratory-based curing protocols have been shown to produce temperature profiles that were similar to mass placements and achieving peak temperatures that were within 2°C of peak temperatures recorded in a mass high-strength concrete placement.
