Synthetic fibers commonly used in cementitious composites are known to directly contribute the material cost, while causing concerns regarding their availability and carbon footprint. As a sustainable alternative synthetic fibers, this study explored use of sisal fiber. To address potential degradability natural fiber, two different coatings, i.e., polyester resin bio-based shellac, were examined. For purpose, various mixtures made with range fiber dosages investigated, including both...
In this paper, the effects of using copper slag wastes as a supplementary cementitious material on mechanical properties and durability aspects concrete are studied. To aim, mixtures made by employing 5, 10 15% cement replacement strength properties, water penetration, chloride ion permeability, sulfate expansions alkali–silica reaction investigated. The results indicate that waste decreases stresses in turn expansion during exposure solution. Additionally, reduces induced reactions. These...
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is a promising construction material mainly because of the crack-controlling mechanisms that discrete fibers can impart to inherently brittle concrete. Macrofibers, in particular, have been proven effective for providing post-crack ductility and toughness, while synthetic are solution avoid corrosion-related durability issues. To assess performance enhancement provided by macro-synthetic fibers, this study performs flexural tests on FRC beams containing three...
This paper reports on an experimental investigation into the performance of ternary concrete mixtures containing combinations natural zeolite with silica fume or fly ash. The is compared binary only one type supplementary cementitious material (SCM) and a control mixture without any SCM. programme included strength transport property evaluations mixture, 7·5% 10% 20% ash as partial replacements Portland cement, 5% cement. results study reveal considerable improvements in properties through...
This research investigation is intended to compare the abrasion resistance of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) with that vibratory-placed (VPC) and examine effects binder content water-to-binder ratio (w/b) on its wear resistance. In comparing SCC VPC, four mixtures varying contents 386, 445, 504, 564 kg/m3 (650, 750, 850, 950 pcy) were prepared at a uniform 0.35. To investigate effect quality quantity (binder content) paste SCC, additional also ratios 0.40 0.45. Depth compressive strength...
