The decomposition of organic waste going to landfills produces methane gas, which is 21 times worse than CO2 in its global warming potential. Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are one type that makes up a significant proportion the landfills. Therefore, it becomes imperative look for recycling solution transform this into valuable resource. concrete industry has potential contribute significantly increasing rate material. However, due high content, unsuitable be used directly structural concrete....
There is a growing interest in developing environmentally-friendly substitution for Portland cement soil stabilization. This study evaluated the feasibility of using volcanic ash (VA)-based geopolymer as an alternative stabilizer to by comparing their shear strength behavior and life cycle assessment (LCA). The effects curing conditions, vertical confinements, binder contents, alkali activator properties were investigated. results revealed that regardless type binder, increasing content...
This research evaluated the effect of different moisture conditions on ductility, geotechnical and microstructural characteristics improved clayey subgrade with various lime contents geogrid layers. The results more than 120 tests showed that combined application to significantly enhanced ductility by increasing content up an optimal value. It was observed higher water pressure led separation layers from subgrade; thus, uniformity, consistency, properties were reduced. Microstructural...
Expansive soils swell when they absorb water and shrink by losing water. This process causes significant volume changes in highly expansive clay soils. Clay soil foundations have caused problems for various civil engineering projects, including pavements, railroads, embankments, worldwide. Besides, the accumulation of huge amounts waste glass is responsible several environmental issues. Although idea using pavement application not new, adoption treatment as subgrade has been rarely studied....
This innovative study presents the manufacture of structural lightweight concrete (SLWC) with 100 % waste coarser tire rubber and sets an inaugurating move in identifying its durability properties. Two newly designed casting moulds were developed to enhance strength properties rubberized without any conventional coarse aggregates. Slump values different fresh RuC mixes varied from 84 122 mm, maintaining requirement denoted by ACI 213R. Density compressive novel SLWC determined. The...
The production of concrete is heavily reliant on the continuous mining natural resources, with majority component being aggregates which make up about 70–75% volume. As emphasis shifts towards promoting sustainability through recycling all types waste to create a closed-loop circular economy, it's vital explore alternative materials that can replace traditional raw in production. Biochar derived from different organic has shown improve strength properties concrete. However, research focussed...
The use of scrap tyres in construction materials has been promoted to curb the environmental exploitation caused by open disposal non-biodegradable waste rubber. Tyre grinds as aggregates geopolymer concrete (GPC) would increase its sustainability value reducing consumption natural aggregates. Although there is limited literature addressing damage GPC characteristics rubber aggregates, this investigation was designed determine extent possible side effects using crumb (CR) GPC. Additionally,...
Lime treatment is extensively used to improve the properties of soft and weak soils. One most important reasons for using lime reduce swelling behaviour clay soil. The reaction quicklime (CaO) with water, forms hydrated (slaked) (Ca(OH)2) therefore are improved by creation extra bonds. Increasing brittleness stabilised major shortcoming lime. Therefore, aim this study investigate effects curing time on geotechnical kaolinitic geogrids. At first, different percentages (3, 5, 8%) were mixed...
Lime concrete and lime treatment are two attractive techniques for geotechnical engineers. However, researches have rarely been carried out to study the effects of moisture capillary action due increasing groundwater level on properties concrete. The aim this is investigate curing time degree saturation some such as unconfined compressive strength (UCS), secant modulus (Es), failure strain, brittleness index (IB), deformability (ID) using compression tests. First all, chemical used materials...
