The wet slime tailing pond formed during the production of accumulated bauxite is a source of artificial debris flow hazard with high potential energy. In order to explore the effectiveness of solidification technology in processing bauxite slime, experimental study was conducted on the strength characteristics of cement-solidified slime with bauxite slime as the test object, so as to investigate the impact of cement contents and curing ages on the compressive strength of cement-solidified slime. According to the test results, the strength and deformation characteristics of solidified slime are related to the cement content, and the higher the cement admixed amount, the greater the compressive strength of solidified slime; the cement-solidified slime samples are subject to brittle failure, and with the increase of strain, the stress first rises to its peak and then decreases rapidly. The findings may serve as reference in processing bauxite slime.

Microbial solidified sand effectively enhances the strength of the soil, but it will cause brittle failure. In order to reduce the impact of microbial solidification sand brittleness, an improved method for adding carbon fiber to microbial solidified sand is proposed. The qualitative analysis was based on unconfined compressive strength test, calcium carbonate content determination, and penetration test. The results show that the addition of fiber in the microbial solidified sand can significantly increase the unconfined compressive strength of the sample. The unconfined compressive strength of the sample increases first and then decreases with the increase of fiber addition. The addition of fibers during the soil process enhances the toughness of the specimen and causes plastic damage during the failure of the specimen. Based on the analysis of the microstructure of the sample, the effect of fiber bundles on the strength characteristics of the sample is discussed when the fiber content is higher than the optimal fiber content. The addition of carbon fiber to microbial solidified sand can greatly improve the strength of the sample and increase the toughness, which plays a positive role in improving the safety and stability of the project.


Lightweight concrete is to be treated as structural concrete (using LECA as CA), it must satisfy the density in range of 1120-1920 kg/m3 and strength not less than 20 N/mm². In order to accomplish required strength, LECA with metakaolin was used at different concentrations of (20% to 26%) by weight of cement at equal increments of 2%. Test results clearly indicates that, using LECA and metakaolin as selective substitution increases the compressive strength and durable properties. The prerequisite of using additional cementious material as metakaolin was to enhance the compressive strength, durability of LWC. Metakaolin content seems to lead high early age strength with relative increase in strength of 28 days. The effective content of metakaolin was 24% along with 60% LECA as partial substitution gave very much appreciable results. The percentage reduction in density recorded was 33%. The durable aspects such as resistance offered to acidic environment was also affirming when as compared to conventional concrete.

The experiment aims to test the triple mixing (3M) technique to produce the concrete with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). Then, the impact prolonged mixing, representing the influence of delivery and discharge time in praxis, is analysed by the change in strength properties. Both the 28-day compressive strength and tensile splitting strength are evaluated in two aspects: the prolonged mixing time (0, 45 and 90 min after initial mixing), and the mixing method (normal and triple). Prolonged mixing time brought both the positive and negative changes in strength characteristics however the worst difference between initial mixing (0′) and 90′ minutes of mixing was only 8.4% for compressive strength and 8.5% for tensile splitting strength.

Piles formed by tamped concrete are a kind of technology in foundation treatment. In order to study the difference of strength characteristics between tamped and ordinary poured concrete, optimum parameters of mix proportion on tamped concrete are obtained by heavy compaction test in laboratory, then unconfined compressive strength tests are accomplished on the basis of optimum parameters of mix proportion. Influence factors of strength characteristics of tamped concrete are studied, such as cement-aggregate ratio, curing age, curing condition and so on. Finally, strength characteristics of tamped and ordinary poured concrete are compared. The test results indicate that the tamped concrete is hardened quickly and early-strength. In standard, water and saturated soil curing condition, compressive strength all grows sufficiency, thus tamped concrete can be used in ground and underground environment. At the same time, a higher strength can be obtained by smaller cement content, and the cost of tamped concrete can be reduced effectively.

The use of SCC (Self Compactibility Concrete) concrete in Indonesia is increasing in the field, especially for a variety of buildings that require large compaction speeds or use concrete that can compact itself. SCC Concrete Technology in the construction industry is growing, especially in meeting the needs of the construction world. Added material is an alternative material used to increase the strength characteristics of the concrete. Likewise the addition of glass powder waste, and bauxite waste in making SCC concrete is expected to increase the compressive strength concrete. Fresh concrete, which belongs to the self-compacting concrete (SCC) group, has a very high slump value (more than 20 cm), so measurements with cone abrams are no longer effective. The use of these materials as substitute materials and added based on the thought to utilize glass waste and , bauxite waste in order to reduce the impact of environmental pollution and provide economic value. This study uses glass powder as glass waste and bauxite waste as added material for cement. This study uses four kinds of mixed compositions, namely 0% (ordinary concrete); 2.5% mixture; 5% and 7.5% by weight of cement as added material from glass waste and bouksit waste, where each composition consists of 3 cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm. Until now there has never been any research from mananpun to test the 2 (two) mixtures, therefore we want to test it so that glass waste and bauxite waste are not wasted and can be reused, especially in making SCC concrete. From the research results it was found that the maximum slum cone test results were in the 2.5% variation that is equal to 44.3 cm, while the minimum at 0% was 29.3 cm. The maximum compressive strength at the age of 3 days is 455,418 kg / cm2 for variations of 7.5% while the minimum is at a variation of 2.5% of 200.469 kg / cm2 at 7 days of concrete.

The investigation is intended to evaluate the impact of substitution of demolished concrete debris as coarse aggregate (CA) in pavement quality concrete (PQC). The strength characteristics of PQC such as compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength after adding recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) are experimentally determined in laboratory environment. Specimens of M30 grade concrete were prepared and tested. The RCA was substituted up to 50% by replacing CA content. Based on the investigation results, it was found that reduction of slump value due to the substitution of RCA in concrete. There is no remarkable reduction of compressive strength and flexural strength up to 30% and 40 % replacement of CA respectively in all the curing periods. The impact strength was reduced due to addition of RCA and observed 8% reduction after adding 20% RCA. It is suggested that RCA may be used up to 20% as CA in PQC.

The article presents results obtained during testing of concrete based on CEM I 42.5R Portland cement, fine and coarse aggregate, glass, volatile ash, and superplastifier. The concrete mixture was modified using filler consisting of bromosilicate heat resistant cullet. Recycled aggregate was added to the batch. Samples for the need of testing were produced as (100 × 100 × 100) mm cubes. Before commencing proper tests, samples have been heated within the temperature range of 20–800 °C. Tests carried out during the proper testing procedure included tests of compressive strength, elevated temperature, impact strength, as well as macroscopic tests of the contact area. The obtained test results have provided proof of there being a possibility of producing special concrete, modified by products obtained from heat resistant cullet. This type of is generally characterized by satisfactory performance parameters. The average compressive strength for concrete modified by a 10% of heat resistant cullet was determined as 43.6 MPa and 48.3 MPa respectively after 28 and 180 days of curing.
