The backfill of metal mines is easily damaged by the disturbance due to their low strength. We proposed a method that uses flexible meshes as the backfill skeleton to enhance the strength of the backfill. The physical and mechanical properties of the flexible mesh-reinforced filling body are investigated by combining theoretical analysis and laboratory experiments. The strengthening effect is remarkable with the flexible meshes. With the friction-passive resistance between the high-strength reinforcement material and the filling body, the insufficient tensile strength of the filling body is compensated and the reinforcement is improved. The ultimate compressive strength is increased by 1.07 to 1.35 times, and the elastic modulus is increased by 1.08 to 4.42 times. We concluded that the essence of strengthening the flexible mesh-reinforced filling is to increase the cohesive force of the filling and increase the ability to resist external load damage.

Strength And Toughness

This study was conducted to determine some physical and mechanical properties of high-strength flowable mortar reinforced with different percentages of palm fiber (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6% as volumetric fractions). The density, compressive strength, flexural strength, and toughness index were tested to determine the mechanical properties of this mortar. Test results illustrate that the inclusion of this fiber reduces the density of mortar. The use of 0.6% of palm fiber increases the compressive strength and flexural strength by about 15.1%, and 16%, respectively; besides, the toughness index (I5) of the high-strength flowable mortar has been significantly enhanced by the use of 1% and more of palm fiber.

This work deals with the investigation of physical and mechanical properties of selected rocks for condition of drilling categorization. Rock samples collected from five drilling locations were tested in the laboratory for uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, and Drilling Rate Index (DRI) using 1,100 kN compression machine, point load tester and miniature drill. Similarly, hardness, brittleness, Rock Abrasivity Index (RAI), penetration rate and bit wear rate were determined. The results showed that uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength and Drilling Rate Index varied from 47.78 - 111.11 MPa, 8.09 - 19.44 MPa, and 20 - 52 respectively. The Nast point system chart was used to classify the rocks into drilling conditions. The drilling classification shows that the drilling condition of the rocks varied from slow to fast. The drillability characteristics of the rocks vary from extremely low to medium as specified by the Drilling rate Index (DRI). It was concluded that uniaxial compressive strength, texture and grain size, drilling rate index and Equivalent Quartz Content (EQC) are important parameters affecting drilling condition of the rocks.

Ultra High Performance Concrete

The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis that shows the influence of fiber on ultimate compressive strength and tensile strength of ultra-high performance concrete. The internet scholarly search engines and ScienceDirect article references were used to illustrate the papers concerning the experimental investigations of mechanical properties of ultra-high strength concrete with and without fiber with clearly, completely and comparative raw data. The normal concrete test results were dismissed from this search. Seven trials were identified based on the adopted inclusion and exclusion criteria above. The meta-analysis based on standardized mean difference was carried out on the basis of a fixed-effects model for the major outcomes of the ultimate compressive and tensile properties of ultra-high performance concrete. A total of 888 test specimens were enrolled in these seven trials. The combined analysis yielded a sign of a significant improvement in ultimate compressive strength and tensile strength of ultra-high strength concrete with fiber addition of 2% by concrete volume. The summary effect size of ultimate compressive strength was 2.34 while a more improvement in term of tensile strength with effect size of 2.64. By addition fiber of 2% provides a significant benefit in mechanical properties of ultra-high performance concrete.

The properties of high-strength artificial porous aggregate from glass-containing waste of metallurgical productions are described. The developed technology makes it possible to expand the raw material base for the production of aggregates for light concrete. Granulated slags of metallurgical productions – the main (M0>1) slags of the Novokuznetsk Iron and Steel Plant and acid (M0<1) slags of the Gorky plant are studied. According to the results of studies, it was found that the optimal swelling interval for acidic slags is 1000–1100оC, and for basic slags-1100–1150оC. A high – strength artificial porous aggregate-slag gravel with a bulk density of 340–780 kg/m3 and a compressive strength in the cylinder of 2.8–12.3 MPa was obtained. The main physical and mechanical properties of the resulting aggregate, which meets the requirements of the current standard GOST 9757–90 “Gravel, crushed stone and sand. Artificial porous”, were studied. The aggregate obtained is almost twice as strong as the known aggregate of expanded clay gravel. With the use of porous gravel and sand, light concrete of strength class B7,5–B40 and a density of 1100–1600 kg/m3 was obtained.

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are an attractive reinforcement material for several composites, due to their inherently high strength and high modulus of elasticity. There are controversial results for cement paste with admixed CNT up to 500 µm in length. Some results show an increase in flexural or compressive strength, while others showing a decrease in the values. Our experiments produced results that showed a small increase in fracture energy and tensile strength. Micromechanical simulations on a CNT-reinforced cement paste 50×50 µm proved that CNT clustering is the crucial factor for an increasein fracture energy and for an improvement in tensile strength.

AbstractConcrete is one of the materials in which polymer wastes are utilized. Generally, these wastes are added at specific rates in scientific studies but an important problem of waste polymers is size irregularity. Even when consistent dosage rates are used, variations in polymer size can lead to variability in the physical and mechanical properties of the concrete produced. The aim of this study is to determine physical and mechanical properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-containing concretes. In order to produce normal and high strength concretes, 10%, 20%, and 30% replacement ratios of PVC powder and granules by volume of aggregate are used. Slump, fresh and hardened densities, compressive strength, capillary water absorption, and abrasion were tested on all concrete types. As the PVC ratio increases, important changes are seen in all physical and mechanical concrete properties. The unit weights of the 10%, 20%, and 30% replacement PVC powder concretes are lower by ∼4%, 8%, and 13%, respectively, as compared to the reference mixtures, and the replacement PVC granule concretes are lower by ∼2%, 4%, and 7%. Compressive strength test results showed similar trends. As PVC replacement increases, the capillary water absorption decreases between 10% and 50%, and abrasion decreases between 27% and 77%.

Plain concrete is susceptible to cracking under aggressive environment such as in freezing shaft. And addition of steel fibres in plain high strength concrete is proved to be effective in cracking resistance and brittleness improvement, etc. This paper presents results of experimental investigation carried out to study the mechanical properties of steel fibre-reinforced concrete having volume fractions of 0.38%, 0.51% and 0.64% for two types of fibres respectively. The results of this study revealed that there is an increase for all the mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and flexural strength. Enhancement for split tensile strength and flexural strength is more evident than compressive strength.

Abstract To study the influence of thermal shock caused by water cooling on the physical and mechanical properties of high-temperature granite, granite was subjected to an increasing number of high-temperature (300℃) water-cooling and thermal shock treatment cycles, and static mechanical experiments were carried out on the treated granite. The results support the following conclusions: (1) Thermal shock causes an increase in the number and size of the pores and cracks within the granite; thus, its volume expands, density decreases, water absorption rate increases, and P-wave velocity decreases. (2) With an increase in the number of thermal shocks, both the compressive strength and tensile strength of the granite decrease, and there is a linear relationship between the compressive strength and tensile strength. With the corresponding fitting formula, the change in the strength of the granite can be accurately predicted. (3) With an increase in the number of thermal shocks, the plasticity of the granite increases and its resistance to deformation weakens, which is manifested as a decrease in both the compressive modulus and tensile modulus of the granite. After 15 cycles of thermal shock, the compressive elastic modulus and tensile modulus of the granite decreased by 25.18% and 46.76%, respectively. (4) The m and s values of the damaged granite were calculated based on the Hoek-Brown empirical criterion, and it was found that both of these parameters decrease with the increase in the number of thermal shocks. The calculation results can provide a reference for engineering rock mass failure.Clinical trial registration

This research was carried out to investigate various physical properties of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and, some physical and mechanical properties of concrete incorporating RHA in different proportions. The concrete specimens were tested at 7, 21 and 28 days after curing. Test results revealed that the specific gravity of RHA was found lower than that of sand. The density of concrete containing RHA was recorded between 80-110 lb.ft-3, which is lower than conventional concrete. Water absorption was found increasing with the increase of RHA content in concrete specimens. There were significant variations in compressive strength values of concrete containing 5%, 10% and 20% volume of RHA. The compressive strength of 5% RHA specimen was 150-200% higher than that of other specimens. Hence, upto 5% replacement of RHA could be recommended for making normal lightweight concrete. The splitting tensile strength was about 9-10% of compressive strength. It was concluded that upto 5% RHA can be used effectively in making normal lightweight concrete. The higher percentage of RHA could be used in making non-structural concrete where the strength of concrete is not concerned.J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 9(1): 29-33 2016

Concrete Properties

In this research, physical and mechanical properties of high strength concrete containing PVC waste have been investigated. The fine aggregate was replaced with PVC waste with two different gradings (fine grading and coarse grading) at dosages of 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, and 40% by the volume of aggregate. The properties include physical properties of density and water absorption, mechanical properties of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength. Results show that in general, using 5% PVC replacement in high strength concrete has no appreciable effect to damage the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. With increasing PVC aggregate content, the deterioration of the concrete properties was observed. The coarse graded PVC aggregate has some more effect on the deterioration of concrete properties compared to the fine graded PVC aggregate.
