This study investigates the feasibility of mitigating temperature-related issues, such as heat island effect, ice layer formation and thermal distresses asphalt pavement, by controlling properties hot mix (HMA). Expanded polypropylene (EPP) beads graphite powder are selected additives to change HMA, their effects on mechanical evaluated experimentally. The test results show that EPP modified HMA yields a reduction in conductivity, capacity indirect tensile strength up 17, 32, 27%,...
Due to the increased demands of adapting sustainability concept in construction industry, many researchers have developed and evaluated composite materials made with agricultural by-products, such as straws, fruit-shells, cobs, materials. Because no research work has been reported regarding incorporation common reed fiber (CRF) into a concrete produce green sustainable concrete, this focused on evaluation physical, mechanical, thermal properties mortar mixture containing CRF density,...
Blast furnace slag (SL) is an amorphous calcium aluminosilicate material that exhibits both pozzolanic and latent hydraulic activities. It has been successfully used to reduce the heat of hydration in mass concrete. However, SL currently available market generally experiences pre-treatment increase its reactivity be closer portland cement. Therefore, using such pre-treated may not applicable for reducing In this work, adiabatic semi-adiabatic temperature rise concretes with 20% 40% (mass...
This research studies the influence of aggregate proportions, namely Waste Glass Sand (WGS) and Basic Oxygen Furnace Slag (BOFS), on expansion compressive strength characteristics both geopolymer Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) mixtures. The includes an experimental program in which mixtures were prepared with different combinations WGS BOFS contents (0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25, 100/0, respectively) alongside reference OPC samples containing only or BOFS. for testing behavior cured under 2...
Chemical stabilization with cementitious and chemical additives such as portland cement, lime, fly ash, calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) is now being extensively used in road base or subgrade primarily to enhance mechanical strength improve resistance attack, resulting a more durable roadway. In recent years, there has been renewed interest the combined use of these induce synergistic effect on strength, well deficiencies single-chemical treatment process (e.g., slow early development ash...
Abstract The issue of rainfall-induced slope failure has attracted more attention from geotechnical engineers as a consequence global warming. Current cumulative waste disposal generated scientific interest in the utilization materials design for climate change adaptation measures. Taking into consideration effect height and angle, steel slag—a product derived production steel—was investigated cover against rainfall. To assess stability infiltration water soil, numerical analyses were...
The effectiveness of several Class C and F fly ashes in controlling expansion due to alkali silica reactivity (ASR) was investigated based on a modified ASTM 1260 test method. Three different strengths NaOH solution (1N, 0.5N, 0.25N) were used the reactive potentially aggregate mortars with 20 35% ash replacements by mass cement. other variables included high low cement, extended curing time, longer testing period 28 days. Test results confirm that is more effective than ASR, but can also be...
Developing sustainable concrete with less ordinary Portland cement is a growing issue in the construction industry. Incorporating industrial by-products (such as fly ash or slag) municipal solid wastes waste glass recycled aggregate) into becomes an effective way to reduce consumption of natural sources and carbon dioxide emission if proper mix design provided. The present study examines influence combined use off-ASTM Class F (FFA) limestone powder (LSP) on flowability, compressive...
