Volumes of dredged sediments are rather considerable and are estimated approximately 600 million m3 per year worldwide. These can represent a very interesting source of raw materials, in particular for a sector consuming aggregates such as civil engineering. The work presented in this article is interested particularly in the valorization of the muds which come from the dam of Fergoug (Algeria), with an aim of improving their mechanical behavior using binders (cement, lime) in order to use them in road engineering. To this end, we carried out a series of physical, chemical, mechanical and mineralogical analyses presented in this paper.

This work aims to valorize a mineral and natural resources such as the Limestone Fillers (F-Lime) and the Natural Pozzolan (PN) by incorporating them into the formulation matrix of cement or concrete. In order to minimize the CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, to reduce the energy and raw materials consumption and as well as, to improve the physical and mechanical properties in fresh cement paste and of mortar or concrete in the hardened state. In this present manuscript, we substituted the clinker by the combination between the F-Lime and NP at 40% by weight of cement with steps of 5% with the admixture of superplasticizers. The influences of the incorporation of these additions on physical and mechanical properties of mortar or concrete in the fresh cement paste and hardened state were evaluated. The obtained results by different formulations elaborated to show that the replacement a part of clinker by the mixing of F-Lime and PN has produced a new hydraulic binder eco-friendly and durable with improved physicochemical, physical and mechanical properties. These results show that we have succeeded to manufacture, characteristic and formulated of new ecofriendly hydraulic binder and sustainable with improved physical, chemical, and mechanical properties while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions on one hand and the reducing the energy raw materials consumption on the other hand.

Great Development

Bricks are widely used as a construction and building material due to its properties. Recent years have seen a great development in new types of inorganic cementitious binders called ‘‘geopolymeric cement’’ around the world. This prompted its use in bricks, which improves the greenness of ordinary bricks. The development of fly ash-based geopolymer lightweight bricks is relatively new in the field of construction materials. This paper reviews the uses of fly ash as a raw materials and addition of foaming agent to the geopolymeric mixture to produce lightweight bricks. The effects on their physical and mechanical properties have been discussed. Most manufactured bricks with incorporation of foaming agent have shown positive effects by producing lightweight bricks, increased porosity and improved the thermal conductivities of fly ash-based geopolymer bricks. However, less of performances in number of cases in terms of mechanical properties were also demonstrated.

The raw materials of the timber industry, especially furniture, are increasingly difficult to obtain in the quantity and quality needed. The development efforts carried out were utilizing Nipah coir waste as a raw material for making particle boards. Particle boards are panel boards made of wood particles or materials containing lignocellulose. Nipah plants contain 27.3% lignin and 36.5% cellulose which has the potential to be used as raw material for particleboard production. This study aims to reveal the physical and mechanical properties of particleboards made from Nipah fruit fibre with adhesive using tapioca flour. The making of particle board is done with a ratio of 90%: 10%, 80%: 20%, 70%: 30%, 60%: 40%, by giving a pressure of 100 kg / cm2. Particle testing is carried out according to the JIS A 5908 standard (2003). From this study, the optimum results were obtained in variations of 60%:40%. The particle physical properties which have an average density value of 1.15 gr / cm3 and an average moisture content of 5.8%. While the mechanical properties obtained by the value of Modulus of Elasticity an average of 21,188.93 kg / cm2. This shows the particle board variations of 60%: 40% produced to meet the JIS A 5908 (2003) standard. Based on the analysis of the quality variations 60%: 40% of particle boards can be recommended as raw materials for interior furniture.

Grinding Time

Investigations of the influence of dispersion of feedstock on the basis of clay of the Buguruslan deposit and drill cuttings from the facilities of PJSC «Orenburgneft» have been carried out, it is revealed that as the grinding time increases, the content of clay and dust particles increases. Intensive sintering of the samples between 1000 °C and 1100 °C has been established, which is confirmed by the compaction of the samples and the decrease in the water absorption of the ceramic masses. Minimal water absorption, within 2.35%, showed a sample of 3-hour grinding, and a sample of a 2-hour grinding of 8.34%. As a result of the study of dispersion of the charge on the basis of clay raw materials and drill cuttings, it was found that by subjecting the original composition to additional processing, within 2 hours, the physical and mechanical properties of ceramic bricks can be improved.

Recycling of building waste has become essential process in the construction industry due to the sustainability and economic benefits such as decreasing the waste to landfill, conserving natural resources, and reducing pollution. Large amount of building waste is produced from the construction and demolition process of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In this paper, the effect of using recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) on the behavior of concrete is experimentally studied. The RCA is prepared by crushing and sieving of waste of standard compression test cubes having a compressive strength ranging between 25 MPa and 30 MPa. The physical and mechanical properties of RCA are experimentally estimated and compared to those of natural coarse aggregate (NCA). A set of 72 standard concrete cubes, cylinders, and beams specimens are made using coarse aggregate replacement ratios (CARR) of 0%, 30%, 50%, and 100%. The specimens are tested to estimate the compressive, splitting, and flexure strengthens at the ages of 7 and 28 days. The study is extended by using the RCA in casting 12 RC columns with CARR similar to those of specimens. The columns are tested in an axial compression test protocol till failure. Crack patterns, failure loads, strains, displacements, and toughness of the tested columns are compared. It is concluded that using a CARR of 30% and 50% and a specific water cement ratio provides better mechanical behavior than that of NCA while the CARR of 100% yields worst mechanical behavior compared to that of NCA.
