powder was used in concrete mixes as partial substitution of cement, while fine and coarse ceramic aggregates were used as 100% substitution of fine and coarse natural aggregates. They foundthat compressive strengthincreases by incorporating ce-ramic waste in concrete.In another study, Al Bakri et al.

In addition, many researches have analysed the properties of hardened recycled aggregate concrete, but few of them have focused on the mixing method and the consequences that it has on the properties of concrete. In this research, recycled aggregate concrete using dry, with extra water supply, and saturated recycled aggregate has been prepared.

conventional concrete due to higher porosity of recycled aggregate. ii. The densities of recycled aggregate concrete made with recycled aggregate are below those of the control concrete. This indicates that the densities decrease with the incorporation or addition of recycled aggregate. A new method for predicting compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) mixtures; which

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is often an economic alternative to new aggregates. In the construction sector, sustainable development is applicable on many levels, one ch is the production and the use of the recycled materials, especially concrete (as a percentage of the most commonly used construction material). The term "recycling", in general, is defined as a single use or multiple

the use of recycled concrete aggregate instead of natural aggregate. This project will also show that the water permeability of pervious concrete is primarily influenced by the porosity and not affected by the use of recycled concrete aggregate in place of natural aggregate. The empirical inter relationship developed among porosity, compressive strength and water permeability could be used in

The data acquired through both practical and literary research highlights that recycled aggregate (R.A.) can be used as a substitute for materials within a concrete mix design. However, its use is limited to low bearing surfaces such as footpaths and paving. This is clearly represented in the findings as it shows that a maximum of 25% R.A. and 50% R.A. with 100% OPC and 50% OPC and 50%

This first section (approximately 1,000 ft and 11 or 12 ft wide) is made out of 64 tons of crushed concrete. At a rate of $6 a ton, we paid $384 for the materials at that point. Compare it to $18 a ton for gravel making it $1,152 and we are talking serious saving here. Of course, you have to calculate fuel as well.

The material in this publication is not a substitute for professional advice — always consult a structural engineer. Lowered embodied energy with recycled content. Concrete is composed of three main components: coarse aggregate (stone), fine aggregate (sand) and cement, with water added to the mix to catalyse the reaction that causes it to solidify. Concrete's main environmental impacts

The w/c is the single most important factor governing the strength of concrete. High w/c implies high porosity, and thus lowered strength. The trend shown in Figure 1 for the dependence of compressive strength on the w/c is true for most concretes. The Abram’s law is

Concrete made with GGBS cement sets more slowly than concrete made with ordinary Portland cement, depending on the amount of GGBS in the cement mix, but also continues to gain strength over a longer period leading to improved overall durability and life expectancy. Silica fume. Silica fume is a by-product from the manufacture of silicon. It is

compacting factor test will be appropriate to assess the workability of concrete containing CCB because of the resulting dry mix and (iv) up to 20% of sand replacement with CCB will result in compressive strength that is not significantly different from the control.

Recycling plastic into concrete and opportunities - Deon Robbertze. 30th June 30th June by Linda van Tilburg. Plastic waste is everywhere. Even at the bottom of the Mariana Trench - the deepest oceanic trench - the dreaded waste has been found. It is choking our cities, rivers and beaches - even being dubbed the white flower of South Africa. But there's a company turning

This article presents the results of an experimental study on a new protocol to create a non-autoclaved cellular concrete containing a partial substitution of sand by an equivalent volume of pure perlite and perlite waste. The development of the experimental protocol was performed based on a series of steps to control each parameter that influences this swelling procedure (temperature, water

Usually the test blocks of waste concrete are crushed, cleaned, graded and mixed in a certain proportion to make "recycled aggregate", and the concrete made from these recycled aggregates is called recycled aggregate concrete. Waste concrete usually comes from several aspects: (1) buildings reach their useful life or aging demolition; (2) infrastructure transformation, laboratory waste

Sep 06,  · The recycled aggregate concretes also exhibit poor sorptivity, water absorption, and chloride ion permeability compared to concrete containing NA. The result of poor durability performance of recycled aggregate concretes is relative to high porosity of constituents and interconnectivity of the pore system in the concrete.

The Performance of Recycled and Quarry Aggregates and Their Effect on Permeable Concrete Yan Zhuge1 1A/Professor of Civil Engineering, University of Southern Queensland Abstract: In this paper, the results of a series laboratory testing which have been conducted to evaluate the structural strength and permeability/porosity of various mixture designs of permeable concrete

Recycled concrete aggregate is a readily available, flexible, and sustainable product that has a proven track record as a high-performance material for sub-base and other road construction projects. Up to a certain replacement level, it is also a viable substitute for aggregate in concrete for an increasing number of applications.

recycled aggregate concrete (RCA) as a substitute for density and more porosity of the RCA. They also investigated Recycled concrete can be also used in the production of concrete for pavements, shoulders, median barriers, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, building and

Recycled concrete, or crushed waste concrete, is a feasible source of aggregates and an economic reality, especially where good aggregates are scarce. Conven-tional stone crushing equipment can be used, and new equipment has been developed to reduce noise and dust. Aggregates must conform to certain standards for

The crushed materials (powder/dust) also act as fillers to improve on the porosity of the treated samples thereby improving the density. Results have shown significant reduction of the optimum moisture content (OMC) of treated soils more especially with the ash or powder based geopolymer cements because of the improved hydration reaction and moisture resistance of the polymers. The maximum dry

In the present study, 20 models were developed using gene expression programming (GEP) to predict the compressive strength and mass loss of geopolymer mortar (GPM) containing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) exposed to elevated temperatures. To do so, the results of 160 specimens manufactured out of 32 different mixture designs in an experimental effort were used.

Nov 30,  · The recycled concrete replaces the natural aggregate for producing new concrete. "The composition of the recycled concrete gives that product additional flexibility and adaptability," says Alam.

Rizvi et al. ( ) concluded that a substitution of 15% of aggregate by recycled concrete aggregate did not affect the workability or mechanical properties of their mixtures. Butler et al. ( ) compared pervious concrete mixtures using and recycled aggregate and concluded that the

Recycled concrete is created by breaking, removing, and crushing existing concrete to a preferred size. It is commonly used as a base layer for other construction materials. Recycled concrete can be used as aggregate in new concrete, particularly the coarse portion. When using the recycled concrete as aggregate, the following should be taken into consideration: Recycled concrete as aggregate
