  Mechanical, durability and microstructure properties of eco-friendly self-compacting mortars with addition of volcanic scoria, silica fume and boron waste as cement replacement

  Şahin Yön, Merve

  The objective of this experimental study is to investigate the mechanical and durability performances of self-compacting mortars containing industrial waste and natural stone to develop an environmentally friendly mortar. Binary series of boron waste (B), silica fume (S) and volcanic scoria (V) were formed by substituting up to 95 % by weight with Portland cement, and ternary series were formed by substituting up to 80 % by weight with Portland cement. A total of 14 mixtures and one reference mixture (R) were improved for the purpose of investigating the workability, mechanical strength and durability properties of self-compacting mortar with different binder compositions. Samples of 40x40x160 mm were produced to evaluate mechanical properties and freeze-thaw effect, 100x100x100 mm for abrasion testing and 50x50x50 mm to determine physical properties. Additionally, SEM/EDS and XRD analyses were performed to determine the microstructural characteristics of the mixtures formed. The test results demonstrated that the sole replacement of boron waste with Portland cement resulted in enhanced fluidity. Nonetheless, the 90-day compressive strengths of the S10V20 and B5S10V5 mixtures exhibited increases of 7.47 % and 5.57 %, respectively, relative to the reference, whilst the B15 series saw a 52.5 % reduction, marking the lowest 90-day compressive strength compared to the reference sample. When the freeze-thaw effect was assessed after 136 cycles, the compressive strength diminished by 8.57 %, 13.1 %, 4.13 %, 7.28 %, 6.22 %, 24.77 %, and 48.1 % in the R, B5, V5, V10, V15, B5S10V5, B5S10V10, and B5S10V15 samples, respectively. Among the samples subjected to abrasion tests, a loss of 6.5 per thousand occurred in the mass of the reference sample at the end of 6 minutes, while a loss of 11 per thousand occurred in the binary mixture containing 5 % B, which had the highest abrasion.

  Investigation of the variation of mechanical and durability properties of elements manufactured with rubber substituted SCMs with element height

  Akgül, Melek; Etli, Serkan

  Controlling the homogeneous distribution of granulated rubber materials added to self-compacting concrete/mortars along the height is of great importance in terms of preserving and defining the holistic behavior of structural elements. In this study, the effect of EPDMGR (ethylene propylene diene monomer granulated rubber) ratio (0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 % and 25 %), test age, L/D (slenderness ratio) and element test zone (bottom, middle and top) on the mechanical properties (flexural and compressive), durability properties (porosity and sorptivity) of the elements produced with SCM were evaluated. The results obtained were statistically evaluated by GLM-ANOVA. It was observed that flexural tensile strength was strengthened up to 5 % substitution rate due to the hydrophobic properties and elasticity properties of EPDMGR used, while porosity values increased with height in the upper regions compared to the lower regions due to the placement properties of SCM. Differences in compressive strength appeared in the upper and lower sections after 5 % EPDMGR substitution. This indicates that for the mixture properties used, the properties examined in terms of mechanical and durability test results may have different properties with limited variability in terms of L/D ratio depending on the EPDMGR ratio used and the region where the element was taken.

  Laboratory evaluation of oak ash waste for use in hot mix asphalt modification

  Geçkil, Tacettin; Beyza İnce, Ceren; Aksağan, Zülfükar

  In this study, the effect of Oak Ash (OA), a biomass waste, on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt (HMA) was investigated and its usability in road engineering was evaluated. For this purpose, firstly, various physical and chemical properties of B70/100 penetration class pure asphalt, OA and crushed limestone aggregate were determined. Then, the optimum asphalt content (OAC) of the mixture was determined according to the Marshall mix design method using aggregate and pure asphalt. Based on this determined content, pure and OA added (1%, 2%, 4% and 6% by weight of asphalt) modified hot mix specimens were prepared. Pure and OA added modified mixture specimens were subjected to Marshall stability, indirect tensile strength (ITS), moisture damage, indirect tensile stiffness modulus (ITSM), static-dynamic creep and calorie tests. According to the results obtained, it has been determined that the OA additive has an improving effect on all mechanical properties of the mixtures, especially on the permanent deformation resistance at high temperatures. It is considered that the use of this additive at a rate of 2% in the hot mixture can increase the resistance of the pavement against deterioration and reduce the maintenance and repair costs of the road.

  A novel prediction model for durability properties of concrete modified with steel fiber and Silica Fume by using Hybridized GRELM

  Cemalgil, Selim; Gül, Enes; Onat, Onur; Yılmaz Aruntaş, Hüseyin

  The service life performance of conventional and modified concrete subjected to harsh climatic condition environment is directly related to durability properties of concrete like abrasion, freezing and thawing cycles. These properties are critical issues that should be predicted before performing experimental test. On this basis, the basic purpose of this paper is to predict the abrasion loss, freezing and thawing properties of concrete modified with silica fume (SF) and steel fiber (SFb) by using mix design and additional properties. From this point of view, a conducted experimental study was selected as a case study. In the control concrete (CC) mixtures, Portland cement, crushed stone aggregate, and superplasticizer (SP) were used in the selected experimental study. SP in concrete mixtures was used in the amounts of 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% by weight of cement, and so modified concrete was produced with and without SFb according to the target strength of C25. Furthermore, SF and SFb were used in different amounts to modify the concrete. The SF was replaced with cement in the amounts of 7.5%, 10.0%, and 15.0%. In total, 16 different mix designs were prepared with different SP and SF ratios. In addition, SFb was added to all mixtures of designed concrete at a constant amount of 65 kg/m3. Additionally, a 16-mix design was prepared with SFb. Cumulatively, 32 different mix designs were prepared for the experimental study. Tests on the fresh, hardened, and life-cycle performance properties of the concrete were conducted. As for the metaheuristic part of this study, on the basis of the available experimental data, life-cycle performance parameters of the concrete modified with SF and SFb are predicted by using single and hybrid generalized extreme learning machine methods. Eight different data sets were generated with gradually extended input data. Two different outputs were considered: abrasion resistance (AL) and freezing/thawing (FT). Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithms were used to produce binary and ternary hybrid methods. Four different models were proposed as listed: single use of Generalized Extreme Learning Machine (GRELM), binary use of GRELM-PSO, and GRELM-GWO. Finally, PSO and GWO were hybridized and integrated into GRELM. Two quality indicators, namely Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and correlation of determination (R2), were considered to see the performance of the prediction. The results showed that the proposed ternary prediction model composed of GRELM-PSO-GWO provided more accurate results in all sets from 74% to 91% by extending input parameters, even if complicated parameters are inserted in as an input to the data set.

  High-temperature and abrasion resistance of self-compacting mortars incorporating binary and ternary blends of silica fume and slag

  Yön, Merve Şahin; Arslan, Furkan; Karatas, Mehmet; Benli, Ahmet

  Researchers from all over the world have recently developed an interest in the utilization of waste materials in the concrete industry. Using silica fume (SF) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (S) to manufacture self-compacting mortars (SCMs) could be a step toward sustainable waste management and produce the unique fresh qualities needed for SCMs. This research evaluates the abrasion and high-temperature resistance of SF and S based SCMs. A total of 14 mixtures were designed by partially replacing SF and S with Portland cement (PC) including control, binary and ternary mixtures. Binary mixtures were obtained by replacing cement by SF and S at replacement rates of 5, 10, 15 and 20 % and 10, 20, 30 % by weight respectively. Ternary mixtures were determined at the rates of 5, 10, 15 and 20 % SF and 10 and 20 % S respectively. The flexural strength and compressive strength of SF and S based binary and ternary water curing SCMs samples were determined at the age of 7, 28 and 90 days at room conditions. SCMs specimens were exposed to high temperatures after 90-day water curing. Water absorption, apparent porosity, sorptivity and abrasion resistance of 28-day water cured SCMs samples was also determined. The fresh and rheological properties of SCMs was evaluated by conducting mini-slump flow and viscosity tests. Cost analysis of the SCMs were also performed. The experimental results exhibited that the flowability of SCMs mixes containing SF was reduced with the increasing rate of SF compared to control while the workability of S incorporated SCMs mixes increased with the increase of S in comparison to control mixtures. Late- age of compressive strength above 70 MPa was achieved for 20 % SF incorporated binary mixture and 15 %SF and 10 % S incorporated ternary mixture. The ternary mixture with 15 % SF and 10 % S also exhibited the best abrasion resistance and the lowest sorptivity. Overall, it can be concluded from the mechanical characteristics and abrasion resistance that ternary combination of S with SF content of especially above 10 % and can be used to manufacture self-compacting mortar with a smaller carbon footprint.

  Performance of marble powder on cementitious composites including waste steel chips as an additive

  Gülmez, Nihan

  The reuse of industrial waste materials in cement-based composites contributed to preventing increasing environmental problems and reducing production costs. This article examined the effectiveness of using recycled steel chips (Ast) from metal industry waste and waste marble powder (BMP) instead of cement and the possibility of obtaining eco-efficient specimen. While steel chips included in mortars as additives decreased workability, marble powder increased it. An increment in the level of substitution of steel chips resulted in a subsequent increase in water absorption percentages and apparent porosities of mortars. Maximum flexural strength was obtained in 2% steel chips-10% marble powder in waste system.

  Investigation on the properties of new palm-oil-based polyurethane modified bitumen

  Vural Kök, Baha; Aydoğmuş, Ercan; Yilmaz, Mehmet; Akpolat, Mustafa

  Polyurethane-derived polymer synthesized by the reaction of 4.4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) with the new modified palm-oil-based polyol was used as an alternative additive to thermoplastic-elastomers, such as styrene–butadienestyrene (SBS), the most commonly used additive. The study aimed to investigate the effect of polyurethane (PU) modification on the rheological and chemical structure of base bitumen. The softening point, rotational viscosity, dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), multi-stress creep recovery (MSCR), bending beam rheometer (BBR), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) tests were conducted on the binders. The effects of curing time and temperature, isocyanate/hydroxyl (NCO/OH) molar ratio, and PU content were examined and the best modification conditions were determined. It was found that 24 h curing conditions at 85 °C were sufficient for the formation of PU bonds and these processes increased the rutting parameter of the binder by 256% compared to 1 h curing. At 50 °C and a frequency of 5 Hz, the binder with a 4:1 NCO/OH ratio had 63% more complex modulus than the binder with a 10:1 NCO/OH ratio. The 7 wt% PU modified binder had the same performance level as 4% SBS modification and 10 wt% PU modified binder was one degree higher. Moreover, above 60 °C, all the PU modified binders gave lower phase angles compared to the 4% SBS modified binder. 7 wt% PU modified binder showed similar elastic properties against cracks at low temperatures compared to the 4% SBS modified binder. The use of palm oil in the synthesis of PU presents an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution compared to the use of petrochemical derivatives.

  Cemalgil, Selim; Onat, Onur; Tanaydın, Mehmet Kayra; Etli, Serkan

  The aim of the current experimental study is to investigate the effect of waste textile dye absorbed almond shell on fresh and mechanical characteristics of self-compacting mortar (SCMs). In this context, eight SCMs were designed by substituting Violet Dye Solution adsorbed Almond shell (VDSA) at the rate of 0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, 10.0%, 12.5%, 15.0% and 17.5% as a cement on weight basis including the control mix. To measure the rheological properties of SCMs, mini slump and V-Funnel tests were conducted. A total of 72 beams of 40x40x160 mm3 dimension specimens were casted and immersed in water curing at the end of the 7, 28 and 56 days to determine the mechanical parameters. 48 cubes of 50x50x50 mm3 dimensions were casted and kept in the curing tank to determine durability characteristics such as porosity, sorptivity and specific gravity. Quantitative analyses are also performed by using Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM), X-ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The experimental results indicated that as the content of VDSA enchases, a remarkable enhancement in flexural strength at early days age and 28 days age strength. Whereas, increasing the content of VDSA resulted in a considerable decrease in compressive strength higher than 5%.

  Mechanical and fracture characteristics of self-compacting concretes containing different percentage of plastic waste powder

  Gesoglu, Mehmet; Güneyisi, Erhan; Hansu, Osman; Etli, Serkan; Alhassan, Mahammed

  This study addresses the mechanical and fracture properties of self-compacting concretes (SCCs) containing plastic waste (PW) powder in varying amounts used as a cement replacement material. Partial amount of cement was replaced by PW powder at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by weight so as to design six SCC mixtures with a constant slump flow of 700 ± 30 mm, total binder content of 550 kg/m3 and water-to-binder (w/b) ratio of 0.35. Mechanical characteristics of SCCs were tested for compressive and splitting tensile strengths, net flexural strength as well as modulus of elasticity at 28 day. Moreover, failure characteristics of the concrete were monitored via three-point bending test on the notched beams. The findings indicated that mechanical properties of PVC powder modified SCCs decreased while the concretes became less brittle.

  Determination of the effect of lead mine waste aggregate on some concrete properties and radiation shielding

  Çullu, Mustafa; Ertas, Haydar

  The aim of this study is to determine the radiation absorption capacity of concretes produced from lead mine waste which cannot be processed economically as the lead content is low in the mines they are extracted. Lead mine waste (tallow) were exchanged at ratios of 25%, 50% and 75% respectively with barite and limestone aggregates and samples were prepared at C16, C25 and 05 classes. The compressive strength and the unit weight of the prepared samples were determined. The linear absorption coefficients of prepared concrete samples at 662 keV of energy were determined. In addition the relationship between the radiation absorption capacity and the compressive strength-unit weight was investigated. The experiments demonstrated that best absorption was in concrete samples with 100% barite content (100B). On the other hand in the concrete samples prepared from the mixture of limestone and lead mine waste aggregates, it was observed that radiation absorption capacity decreased due to decreasing amount of barite. In concrete samples prepared from the mixture of lead mine waste and limestone aggregates, it was observed that radiation absorption capacity increased due to increasing amount of mine waste aggregates in the concrete. As a result it was observed that lead mine waste aggregates do not absorb as much radiation as barite aggregates depending on the ratio increase of lead mine waste in the aggregate added to the concrete mixture. However the absorbed radiation amount was observed to be higher compared to limestone aggregates. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
