Curing Method

In this study, the effect of curing conditions on the mechanical properties of slurry infiltrated fiber reinforced concrete (SIFCON) was investigated. For this purpose, SIFCON samples containing 4% and 8% steel fiber with two different aspect ratios were produced. The samples were subjected to three different curing types, namely standard, dry and accelerated curing methods. Ultrasonic wave velocity, flexural strength, fracture toughness, compressive strength, impact resistance and capillary water absorption tests were performed on the samples. The highest flexural strength was found to be achieved in the samples with an aspect ratio of 55 and a content of 8% steel fiber. The most suitable curing method was determined as the standard curing method and the best flexural strength was achieved at the rate of 8%. According to the test results, the best strength properties were achieved in the samples exposed to the standard curing method. In addition, the samples exposed to the accelerated curing method showed satisfactory values. The accelerated curing method can be used as an alternative in SIFCON production especially in applications requiring mass production.

Abstract: Polymer waste volumes have surged in recent years as a result of growing industrialization and fast improvements in living standards. In Malaysia, the majority of polymer waste is discarded rather than recycled. This circumstance results in major issues such as waste of natural resources and pollution of the environment. Polymer products, such as synthetic fibres, plastics, and rubber, are petrochemical compounds that disintegrate slowly in nature. Even after a long amount of time, plastic materials are not easily biodegradable. In reality, a wide range of waste materials can be used as a cement matrix inert. For the manufacture of the polymer concrete, trash bag plastics were employed as polymer wastes HDPE in this study (PC). The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristics and characterisation of polymer HDPE as a coarse aggregate replacement in concrete. Temperatures of 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, 190°C, and 200°C were used in the heating procedure. By volumetric approach, five compositions of coarse aggregate with varied crushed stone: HDPE waste ratios of 0:100, 15:85, 30:70, 45:55, and 60:40 were utilised. The use of polymerwaste as coarse aggregate in traditional concrete was examined. With fresh and hardened concrete tests, the effects of polymer wastes on the workability and strength of the concrete were investigated. After 28 days, the compressive strength of the PCwas determined to be suitable for nonstructural use. The findings of the cost research revealed that the PC is more cost effective than traditional concrete. Keywords: Polymer Wastes HDPE; Coarse Aggregate; Compressive Strength; Properties

This paper presents the fiber effect in the polymer concrete. The concrete is prepared with 10% Bethemcharla stone powder as replacement to cement and 10% of Bisphenol-A polymer to the concrete mixes. The fibers were incorporated to the concrete in the proportion of 0,1 and 2% by volume of specimen. The study mainly focused to evaluate compressive, split, shear and flexural strengths of concrete. Tests conducted on cube, cylinder and beam specimens and from the results it is found that, the fiber seeding to mixes enhances the strength properties. In addition to the mixes, plan cement concrete mix without stone powder and polymer is prepared and tested for the same strengths, this mix is considered as reference mix for comparison purpose. For present experimental work few mathematical models are established to assess strengths in association of cube compressive strength.

AbstractGeopolymer concrete is a booming technology in the construction industry. Much research is occurring in geopolymer concrete, as it emits low carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, is eco-friendly material and is an alternative for cement. This research mainly focuses on the use of fly ash based geopolymer concrete in ambient curing conditions and the use of manufactured sand due to the scarcity of natural sand. Mainly studies have evolved on the workability, setting time and compressive strength by the effect of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), manufactured sand (M-sand), alkaline activator solutions to binder ratio and the proportions of sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide (SS/SH) in geopolymer concrete and mortar. The experimental studies were carried out using nine geopolymer concrete mixes and the comparisons were made. The workability of concrete decreases by increasing the percentage of GGBFS, M-sand and the proportions of SS/SH whereas workability of concrete increases when increasing the alkaline liquid to binder ratio. The compressive strength of geopolymer mortar and concrete increases when the percentage of GGBFS and M-sand is increased, and it decreases by increasing the alkaline liquid content. There is no change in strength by decreasing the proportions of SS/SH.
