Evaluation of concrete containing waste plastic shredded fibers: Ductility properties

Abhishek Jain et al.

Summary: This study found that the inclusion of waste plastic shredded fibers (WPSF) in concrete reduces compressive strength but improves energy absorption capacity and impact resistance. Therefore, WPSF can be incorporated into concrete up to a certain level to produce sustainable concrete pavement and barriers.

Durability performance of pervious concrete containing rice husk ash and calcium carbide: A response surface methodology approach

Musa Adamu et al.

Summary: Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete used for stormwater management due to its high porosity and permeability, but its low mechanical strength is a drawback. The study used calcium carbide waste and rice husk ash to partially replace Portland cement, finding negative effects on the durability of pervious concrete, with the best performance achieved with 0% RHA and 5% CCW.

Hybrid effect of carbon nanotubes and polypropylene fibers on mechanical properties and fire resistance of cement mortar

Peem Nuaklong et al.

Summary: The experimental study demonstrated that the addition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and polypropylene fibers can enhance the mechanical properties and fire resistance of Portland-cement-based mortar. The optimal mix of 0.25% MWCNTs and 0.2% PP fibers showed a significant increase in residual compressive strength at high temperatures, indicating improved fire resistance.

Effect of waste electronic plastic and silica fume on mechanical properties and thermal performance of concrete

Khawar Ali et al.

Summary: The research explores the use of plastic fine aggregate (PFA) from electronic waste as a replacement for natural fine aggregate in concrete, showing improved workability but reduced compressive and tensile strength. Addition of silica fume mitigates the effects of plastic aggregate, resulting in minimal strength reduction. Optimal performance is achieved with 20% replacement of PFA and silica fume in concrete, exhibiting improved thermal properties.

Hydration and pore-structure characteristics of high-volume fly ash cement pastes

Byoungsun Park et al.

Summary: The study found that there is a correlation between the hydration degree of HVFA cement and pore structure, and as the FA replacement ratio increased, the degree of hydration of cement increased while the degree of reaction of FA decreased. Furthermore, the gel/space ratio of HVFA cement paste showed a strong correlation with compressive strength.
