AbstractAutoclaved cement-silica mortars having flexural strengths of up to 57 MPa were prepared by pressing and casting methods of fabrication. It was found that the Griffith dependence of strength upon the size of the largest flaw, the modulus of elasticity and the surface energy was applicable. The relative contributions of these three parameters were evaluated and it was established that although the maximum flaw was the dominant factor in a specific material, surface energy changes were responsible for major strength differences associated with water-solid ratios or variations in the preparation method. Preliminary studies identified the various microstructural features that operated as Griffith's flaws.

This study was conducted to assess the effect of CO2 curing on the compressive strength of high strength pervious concrete. The factors studied to evaluate compressive strength of concrete on CO2 curing pressure, curing time, and age of specimen at testing. Three Aggregate sizes, three CO2 curing pressures, three CO2 curing time, and three testing ages were used in this investigation. The research tried to produce a high strength pervious concrete and use carbon dioxide for curing to find out whether it could enhance the compressive strength. The results show that the compressive strength of the control group increases rapidly and its 90-day compressive strength closed to 60 MPa. The 1-day compressive strength has a major impact after CO2 curing and their strength decreased by about 0% to 50% as compared to the control group. However, it is observed that there is only slight difference in relationship between modulus of elasticity and compressive strength obtained from 100 by 200mm cylinders with CO2 curing.

Portland cement, crushed stone, sand and superplasticizer were used to obtain a high strength concrete with a low water to binder ratio. A reticular polypropylene fiber and a single polypropylene fiber were used to improve the strength of the high strength concrete, but the effects of the two fibers on the slump and strengths were quite different. The reasons of the differences were the surface area and the modulus of elasticity of the fibers. The results show the reticular fiber was better to used in high strength concretes.

This paper reviews a method, “in situ consolidation ball milling” that provides artifactfree bulk nanocrystalline samples for several ductile metals such as Zn, Al and Al alloys, and Cu and Cu alloys. The preparation method is described in this paper and examples of the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline materials made by this technique are given. It is found that in such artifact-free metals, combinations of both high strength and good ductility are possible.

Abstract This study investigates the use of steel fibers and hybrid composite with a total fibers content of 2% on the high strength flowing concrete and determines the density, compressive strength, static modulus of elasticity, flexural strength and toughness indices for the mixes. The results show that the inclusion of more than 0.5% of palm fibers in hybrid fibers mixes reduces the compressive strength. The hybrid fibers can be considered as a promising concept and the replacement of a portion of steel fibers with palm fibers can significantly reduce the density, enhance the flexural strength and toughness. The results also indicates that the use of hybrid fibers (1.5 steel fibers + 0.5% palm fibers) in specimens increases significantly the toughness indices and thus the use of hybrid fibers combinations in reinforced concrete would enhance their flexural toughness & rigidity and enhance their overall performances

Glass Wastes

This investigation includes the use of glass wastes after recycling to produce high strength sustainable concrete. The glass waste used is prepared to be a natural Pozzolan class (N) according to ASTM C618 with fineness of about 7340 cm2/gm. Many concrete mixes with different percentages of glass waste powder as a partial replacement by weight of cement (10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%) were prepared to study some properties of concrete (compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity at 60 day age). The test results indicate that the mechanical properties of concrete are improved with the increase of glass waste powder up to 15%, and then decreased. The maximum percentages of increase for compressive, splitting tensile, flexural strengths, and modulus of elasticity are 13.29%, 36.27%, 34.68%, and 8.2% respectively relative to the reference for concrete specimens containing 15% glass waste powder as a replacement by weight of cement.Corrosion inhibition of low carbon steel, stainless steel types 316 and 304 in hydrochloric acid by potassium iodide was investigated at different temperatures using weight loss and polarization electrochemical techniques

The mechanical properties of high strength concrete(HSC) were experimentally investigated under mixed erosion and freeze-thaw cycling according to ASTM C666(Procedure B), the erosion solution was mixed by weight of 3% sodium chloride and 5% sodium sulfate. The mass loss, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, compressive strength, elastic modulus and other relative data were measured. The results showed that with the increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles, the surface scaled more seriously; the mass loss, compressive strength and elastic modulus continued to decrease; the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity increased slightly in the first 225 freeze-thaw cycles, then decreased in the following 75 cycles; the corresponding strain to peak stress decreased with the increase of freeze-thaw cycles. After 200 cycles, the rate of deterioration of concrete accelerated obviously.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

In this research, calcined diatomaceous earth from Aceh Besar, Indonesia was used as cement replacement in producing high strength concrete. Four concrete mixtures in which the percentage of cement replacement of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% by weight were studied. Four cylinder-specimens with 100 mm diameter and 200 mm high were prepared for each mixture. The compression load was applied on the specimens at the age of 28 days until the specimens failed. The mixture without calcined diatomaceous earth was more workable than that with diatomaceous earth. The compressive strength of concrete with diatomaceous earth in this study was almost the same for all mixture. However, those compressive strength was lower than the compressive strength of concrete without calcined diatomaceous earth for about 14.6%. Modulus of elasticity of high strength concrete decreased with increasing of cement replacement percentage.
