Abstract

The interfacial transition zone (ITZ) significantly negatively impacts the structural performance of concrete. This negative impact can be ameliorated by introducing mineral additions into the concrete. In this study, different forms (degree of circularity) of coarse aggregates and three contents (10%, 15%, and 20%) of mineral addition (natural pozzolan) were used to prepare ordinary concrete. This article aims to determine the optimal and effective mixture (the best form of aggregate and addition). This article aims to determine the optimal and efficient mixture (the best form of aggregate and addition) based on mechanical (compressive strength) and chemical (immersion in 3.5 % H2SO4 solution) tests. Furthermore, the effect of the interaction between the aggregate and the modified cementitious matrix was analyzed and discussed using the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that adding 20% pozzolana improves the aggregate/matrix transition zone, making it possible to develop a maximum compressive strength at 60 days (51 MPa). In addition, the effect of mineral additions varies depending on the shape of the coarse aggregate. Thus, effective numerical modeling of the compressive strength is based on the full factorial design approach, considering the degree of circularity of the coarse aggregates and the pozzolan content.

Abstract

The development of the building materials industry in Algeria and worldwide has opened up new commercial opportunities for waste recovery. Using recycled materials and natural resources such as expanded clay aggregates are increasingly seen as a solution for the future to meet the gap between production, consumption, and environmental protection. The present study investigates the effect of expanded clay aggregate (ECA) on a concrete slump, porosity, softening coefficient, compressive strength, and Freeze-thaw durability. Tests were conducted according to Russian National State Standard (GOST) 10060-2012 of concrete mixtures with expanded clay aggregate (ECA). A total of 7 mixtures were prepared. One is considered a reference mixture based on limestone aggregates. The other six mixtures were prepared by replacing the limestone aggregates with expanded clay aggregates, using two substitution rates (15%, 30% by weight) and three aggregates sizes (Sand 0/4, Gravel 8/16, and 16/25) while maintaining the same w/b ratio. The results indicate that ECAs can be used for concrete production. Furthermore, concrete containing 30% ECA (0/4) has the best properties and is the most freeze-thaw resistant than the other mixtures with ECA.
