In the exploratory study presented in this paper, an attempt was made to develop different mixtures of ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) using various locally available natural and industrial waste materials as partial replacements of silica fume and sand. Materials such as natural pozzolana (NP), fly ash (FA), limestone powder (LSP), cement kiln dust (CKD), and pulverized steel slag (PSS), all of which are abundantly available in Saudi Arabia at little or no cost, were employed in the development of the UHPC mixtures. A base mixture of UHPC without replacement of silica fume or sand was selected and a total of 24 trial mixtures of UHPC were prepared using different percentages of NP, FA, LSP, CKD, and PSS, partially replacing the silica fume and sand. Flow and 28-d compressive strength of each UHPC mixture were determined to finally select those mixtures, which satisfied the minimum flow and strength criteria of UHPC. The test results showed that the utilization of NP, FA, LSP, CKD, and PSS in production of UHPC is possible with acceptable flow and strength. A total of 10 UHPC mixtures were identified with flow and strength equal to or more than the minimum required.

The large quantities of expensive materials such as steel fiber, silica fume, filler and superplasticizer required in the composition of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) make its fabrication cost significantly higher than ordinary concrete. This study evaluates the effect of the type of silica fume and filler on mechanical properties of UHPC. The evaluation shows that the use of Zr silica powder instead of common silica fume improves significantly the fluidity of UHPC without loss of the strength and enables to reduce the amount of superplasticizer by maximum 70%. Moreover, the evaluation of the effect of the type and size of the filler reveals that modifying the size of the filler from 2 μm to 4 μm enhances the fluidity without strength loss and that the use of cement kiln dust (CKD) and limestone powder can achieve UHPC with compressive strength higher than 150 MPa. These results show that the use of the materials such as Zr silica powder, CKD and limestone powder can help to fabricate more economic UHPC.

In this study, the effects of cement kiln dust and silica fume on the tensile performance of fiber-reinforced concrete mixtures comprising special materials and polyethylene fiber for the reinforcement of facilities were analyzed. For the purpose of repair, ultra-rapid-hardening cement with high C3A content was employed, and the cement was replaced with supplementary cementitious materials such as granulated ground blast furnace slag, limestone powder, cement kiln dust, and silica fume. Cement kiln dust was incorporated at 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% weight of cement, and silica fume was incorporated at 20% and 40% weight of cement. Four hours after specimen fabrication, a direct tensile test was conducted. The obtained experimental results indicate that the tensile performance (including tensile strength, strain capacity, and energy dissipation capacity) is found to be significantly high when the content of silica fume is 20% and that of cement kiln dust is 15%.

Abstract Various experimental studies have highlighted the negative consequences of Portland cement on health and the environment, such as toxic emissions and alkaline sewage. The development of environmentally acceptable substitutes for cement is thus one of the objectives of current investigations. The proposed environmental alternatives to cement, nevertheless, might have detrimental impacts on the concrete’s characteristics. This investigation intends to study the suitability as alternatives to cement in cement mortar, using industrial wastes like silica fume and cement kiln dust. As a replacement for cement, the cement mortars developed in this research continue from 0% to 60% silica fume and cement kiln dust. Ultrasonic pulse velocity tests at 1 to 4 weeks of age were conducted on hardened specimens. The findings showed that a low reduction in the pulse velocity resulted from high proportions of silica fume and cement kiln dust replacements, whereas an improvement in the characteristics of the mortars with low replacement ratios. Using low kiln dust and silica fume of 20 to 40%, the durability of mortars may increase.

Test Results

This novel study on cement paste material was conducted with the aim of keeping up with the rapid development of urban construction and contributing to the continuous improvement of building materials to overcome environmental issues. In this study, several kinds of industrial waste were used to enhance the properties of cement paste for application in a marine environment with a tropical climate, such as in Vietnam. This study focuses on evaluating the properties of cement paste containing cement replacement combining 0–30% fly ash, 0–10% silica fume, and plasticizer accounting for 0.3% and 0.4% of the binder by mass. Water demand, chloride ion and sulfate ion permeability, and microstructural properties of the cement paste were determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) and they were investigated after 28 and 56 days. The test results show that an optimum mixture could be obtained with the use of 20% fly ash, 10% silica fume (replacing Portland cement), and 0.4% plasticizer. The application of such materials to sea dikes affected by a tropical climate (characterized by heat, humidity, salty seawater, many big storms, large waves, and strong tides) was investigated for four years on the Vietnamese coast. The test results indicate that fly ash and silica fume can improve the corrosion and abrasion resistance of concrete in coastal areas with a tropical climate, such as in Vietnam.
