Mechanical properties of concrete with bamboo chips as a potential source of aggregates have been investigated in this study.The measurement of this investigation includes slump loss, compressive strength, strain at peak compressive stress, modulus of elasticity, compressive toughness ratio, and splitting tensile strength. A 0.5-cm-thick bamboo chip was cut to a 1 cm (width)× 1 cm (height) piece and then dried, wetted, and coated to minimize water absorption.The coarse aggregates in the concrete specimen were replaced with 10%, 20%, and 30% (by volume) of each bamboo chip. The testing results showed that the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of concrete with bamboo chips decrease with increasing bamboo chip content (BCC). It is considered that the decrease of strengths is due to the weak bond between the mortar and the bamboo chip.

Test Results

AbstractThis study has determined the fracture mechanical properties of 9 types of rock, namely fine-, medium- and coarse-grained granites, gneiss, quartzite, diabase, gabbro, and fine- and coarse-grained limestones. Test results show among other things that quartzite has the highest compressive strength and fracture energy, while diabase has the highest splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. Furthermore, the strength and fracture energy of the interfacial zone between the rocks and 6 different mortars have been determined. The results showed that, in this investigation, the mortar/rock interfaces are in most cases weaker than both mortars and rocks.

In this study, some experimental investigations on the development of mechanical properties with age of high performance concrete (HPC) incorporated with blast furnace slag with fly ash or silica fume have been reported. Four different blended HPC were prepared in 0.40 water-binder ratio. At every four mixtures, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity at 7 and 28 days have been observed for HPC developments. Consequently, only replacement of silica fume significantly increases the mechanical properties in terms of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity.

Effect Of Temperature

Static and dynamic mechanical properties of concrete are affected by temperature effect in practice. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the corresponding influence law and mechanism. This paper demonstrates the variation of mechanical properties of concrete at temperatures from −20°C to 60°C. Temperature effects on cube compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, prism compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and frequency are conducted and discussed. The results indicate that static mechanical properties such as compressive strength (cube and prism), splitting tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity have highly linear negative correlation with temperature; this law is also applied to the first order frequency of concrete slab. The coupling effect of temperature and damage on change rate of frequency reveals that temperature effect cannot be ignored in damage identification of structure. Mechanism analysis shows that variation of elastic modulus of concrete caused by temperature is the primary reason for the change of frequency.

Waste Plastic

The objective of this research is to determine the mechanical properties of the waste-plastic-banner-fiber reinforced concrete: compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, rupture modulus and modulus of elasticity. Concrete mixtures with different proportions of waste plastic banner fiber were produced and tested: 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% of waste plastic banner fiber. The tests showed that the addition of fiber by 0.5% from the total concrete volume will increase the splitting tensile strength by 14.28% and produce the modulus of elasticity as high as 23,025 MPa (up to 12% from the normal mix)  and yield the concrete compressive strength of 35.56 MPa (up to 4.95% of the normal mixture). The rupture modulus will increase by 4.11% as the addition of 0.25% of waste plastic banner fiber.

Pet Fibers

The aim of this project was to develop of mix design nomograph for PFC that can be used for estimated the required compressive strength and splitting tensile strength with the required PET and water-cement-ratio.The fibers were prepared by using plastic granulator machine SLM 50 FY with size passing 10 mm and retained 5 mm sieve. Different volumes percentages of PET fibers with 0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%, were introduced in concrete mixes. The specimens prepared for this study was cylinder concrete with 100 mm diameter and 200 mm height. The laboratory work for physical properties were focused on density and workability, meanwhile for mechanical properties were focused on compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of PET fiber concrete (PFC). The experiment results indicate that the addition of PET fibers significantly decreased the compressive strength and splitting tensile, however the compressive strength still can be acceptable since achieved the mix design The nomograph developed can be used to estimate the desired compressive, splitting tensile strength as well as the modulus of elasticity (MOE).

Based on typical hydraulic engineering, difference of performances between full-graded and wet-screened concrete was studied. Results showed that owing to the gradation effect and skeleton effect of coarse aggregate and the size effect of specimen, full-graded concrete was 105%, 75%, 65% and 115% in compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, ultimate tension and compressive elastic modulus respectively, compared with wet-screened concrete. Under the same curing condition, compressive strength of wet-screened standard concrete specimen can represent the actual compressive strength of full-graded concrete.

Palm Shell

The performance of high strength structural lightweight concrete (LWC) using the palm wastes, oil palm shell (OPS) as well as palm oil clinker (POC) has been reported. Existing literatures used either OPS or POC individually for production of LWC. Each concept has their own advantages-disadvantages. In this study, both OPS and POC have been put together as coarse aggregate on the way to see the improvement of mechanical properties of waste based LWC. To achieve this purpose, regular coarse aggregate has been fully replaced by OPS and POC in the concrete. This structural grade lightweight concrete is named as palm shell and clinker concrete (PSCC). Attempts have been made with the series of OPS and POC mixture aimed at identifying for better performance. The quantity of OPS and POC mix has been varied as 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%. Mechanical properties of PSCC like density, workability, compressive strength at different ages, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength as well as modulus of elasticity have been evaluated. It is revealed that the proposed PSCC has extensive potential in terms of high compressive strength and good material behavior to perform as a better LWC. The study could offer structural lightweight concrete of compressive strength up to 46 MPa that is 31% higher than the control mix. The usage of 50% OPS to 50% POC coarse aggregate by vol. in the concrete mix is found to be the optimum mix. Furthermore, simple correlations have been developed which can easily predict compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity and ultrasonic pulse velocity of lightweight concrete.

Static Mechanical Properties

This paper presents an experiment to investigate the influence of moisture on the static mechanical properties of concrete, and prediction equations for strength and fracture toughness of concrete at different strength grades, relative to water saturation, were established respectively. The research results show that all of the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and fracture toughness of concrete exhibit an approximately linearly decreasing trend with the increase in water saturation. For saturated concrete specimens with w/c 0.65, 0.55, 0.42 compared with dry ones, compressive strength decreases by 40.08%, 36.08%, and 33.73%, respectively, splitting tensile strength decreases by 45.39%, 42.61%, and 35.18%, respectively, and fracture toughness decreases by 57.31%, 49.92%, and 46.76%, respectively. The higher the water saturation of concrete, the larger the slope of the ascending part of the uniaxial compressive stress-strain curve, and the smaller the peak strain corresponding to the peak compressive stress, then in this case, both crack mouth opening displacement and loading point deflection corresponding to the critical load on three-point bending beam, decrease. Ingress of water causes the deformation capacity to decrease, and the toughness to weaken, which are unfavorable to the mechanical properties of concrete.

Abstract The paper presents an impact of the addition of industrial machining chips on the mechanical properties of polymer concrete. As an additional filler, six types of industrial waste machining chips were used: steel fine chips, steel medium chips, steel thick chips, aluminium fine chips, aluminium medium chips, and titanium fine chips. During the research, the influence of the addition of chips on the basic parameters of mechanical properties, i.e., tensile strength, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and Young’s modulus, was analyzed. On the basis of the obtained results, conclusions were drawn that the addition of chips from machining causes a decrease in the value of the mechanical properties parameters of the polymer concrete even by 30%. The mechanism of cracking of samples, which were subjected to durability tests, was also explored. In addition, it was found that some chip waste can be used as a substitute for natural fillers during preparation of a mineral cast composition without losing much of the strength parameters.
