Abstract

This paper reports the effect of slag (SL) replacement and water-to-binder (w/b) ratio on properties of one-part geopolymer derived from high-calcium fly ash (FA) and sodium silicate powder (NP). The FA was replaced by SL at the rates of 20% and 40%, respectively. This study focused on conducting experimental tests to evaluate the relative slump, setting time, compressive strength, and flexural strength of one-part FA-based geopolymer. The relationship between compressive and flexural strengths of one-part geopolymer mortar was expressed using the simplified linear regression model, whereas the normalization of compressive and flexural strengths with SL replacement by the strength of one-part geopolymer mortar without SL as the divisor was also evaluated. Experimental results showed that the increase of SL replacement and w/b ratio significantly affected the workability and strength development of one-part geopolymer mortar. Higher SL replacement exhibited a positive effect on their compressive and flexural strengths; however, a reduction in its setting time was obtained. The enhancement in strength development of one-part geopolymer was primarily due to the increased calcium content of SL. Similarly, reducing the w/b ratio in the production of one-part geopolymer resulted in a decrease in setting time and an increase in strength development. Based on the relationship between compressive and flexural strengths, the prediction coefficient value (R2) obtained from the curve fitting procedure was 0.835, indicating a good level of reliability and acceptability for engineering applications. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2024-010-013 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This research aims to establish a theoretical framework for developing binders from waste materials to reduce cement use in mortar production. It specifically examines the potential of ground basalt rubble (BS) as a supplementary binding material for partially replacing Portland cement Type 1 (OPC) in mortar mixtures. Various substitution ratios of BS, specifically 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% by binder weight, were tested while maintaining a constant water-to-binder ratio (W/B) of 0.45. Superplasticizers (SP) were utilized to ensure consistent workability and flow of the mixtures. The SEM-EDS analysis was conducted to examine the microstructure of the cement paste, confirming the presence of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) phases resulting from the pozzolanic reactions of BS. The findings showed that, at the 7-day test, replacing cement with 10% and 20% basalt rubble (BS) by weight of the binder yielded compressive strengths of 97% and 92% compared to the control (CT) mortar. In contrast, replacements of 30% and 40% BS resulted in compressive strengths of 72% and 60% of the CT mortar, respectively. Results from 28-day tests showed that replacing 10% of OPC with BS not only increased the compressive strength but also significantly decreased chloride penetration compared to the control mortar (CT). This enhancement suggests that BS can effectively replace 10%-20% of cement, with the compressive strength of the mortar ranging from 92% to 107% of that of the control. The findings accentuate the potential of using industrial by-products such as ground basalt rubble to reduce waste, alleviate environmental impacts, and promote the development of sustainable construction materials. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-12-013 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Waste glass enhances concrete sustainability by reducing virgin material use and recycling waste. In traditional concrete, it boosts strength through pozzolanic reactions, while in geopolymer concrete, it improves durability, insulation, and resistance to harsh conditions. This study investigated the viability of substituting auto glass powder (AGP) for high-calcium fly ash (FA) in geopolymer mortar formulations. AGP was utilized as a substitute for high-calcium FA at substitution levels ranging from 0% to 40% by weight. The study examined the physical properties, compressive strength, thermal insulation, and high-temperature performance of the geopolymer composites. The findings indicated that a higher AGP content corresponded with a reduced mortar flow, while increasing the proportion of AGP resulted in the diminished compressive strength of the geopolymer composites. Incorporating 10–20% AGP into the geopolymer mortar gave satisfactory compressive strengths (75–85%) compared to the reference mortar. Thermal conductivity testing indicated that AGP enhanced the thermal insulating properties of mortar. Notably, the compressive strength, after being exposed to 600–900°C, improved with the inclusion of the AGP. Based on XRD, the combeite crystalline phase was present in the mortars containing 20% and 40% AGP after being subjected to 900ºC. This phase contributed to the durability and stability of the material. Thus, it was confirmed that AGP not only served as a beneficial additive but also could play a crucial role in the thermal resilience of geopolymer systems.

Abstract

This study investigated the behavior of masonry-infilled walls (MIWs) within reinforced concrete (RC) frames when exposed to hydrodynamic forces from tsunamis by employing a multi-spring modeling approach across different inundation levels. The proposed analytical model divided the MIW into 1 to 5 horizontal nonlinear spring elements that were allocated along the wall's height. Each spring represented a segment of MIW and was defined by a tri-linear force–displacement relationship. The model was calibrated with the experimental data from previous studies and was analyzed using pushover assessment under uniformly distributed hydrodynamic forces corresponding to four tsunami inundation levels (0.25H, 0.50H, 0.75H, and 1.00H). The models, which had employed four or five horizontal springs, had most effectively replicated MIW behavior under tsunami loading at all inundation depths. Conversely, single-spring models tend to overestimate lateral resistance by up to 50%, particularly when the frame is only partially submerged. This discrepancy arises because less force is transmitted through the MIW, with a greater amount of it being transferred directly to the foundation. The utilization of several spring elements provided a realistic load path, improved the interaction between the frame and MIW characterization, and optimized the precision in simulating lateral resistance and post-peak behavior.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of hard resin derived from the Yang tree (HY), a renewable bio-based byproduct, as a performance-enhancing additive in natural rubber-modified asphalt (NRMA). HY-modified binders (HYMA) containing 3%, 7%, and 15% HY by weight were evaluated through a multi-scale experimental program, including physical, rheological, thermal, chemical, and mechanical tests. Standard binder characterizations (penetration, ductility, softening point, viscosity), spectroscopic analyses (FT-IR, NMR), microstructural observations (ESEM, XRD), thermal profiling (DSC), and performance assessments (DSR, Marshall) were conducted. The results demonstrated that HY improved binder properties at optimal concentration by introducing additional hydrocarbon structures without chemical cross-linking. HYMA3 achieved the most favorable balance of stiffness, flexibility, and compaction efficiency, whereas higher HY contents (≥7%) impaired structural integrity and deformation resistance. Microstructural and thermal evidence confirmed surface modifications and altered thermal transitions, which influenced viscoelastic response. These findings provide new insights into bio-resin–asphalt interactions and establish the viability of HY as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymer modifiers. Beyond performance improvement, HY promotes circular construction by transforming agricultural byproducts into functional pavement materials, supporting the development of climate-adaptive infrastructure.

Abstract

The increasing demand for corrosion-resistant reinforcement in concrete structures has highlighted the potential of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars as a sustainable alternative to conventional steel reinforcement. However, the flexural behavior of BFRP-reinforced concrete beams remains insufficiently characterized, particularly through advanced numerical simulation. This study develops and validates a finite element model (FEM) to analyze the flexural performance of BFRP-reinforced concrete beams and to compare it with that of steel-reinforced beams. Eight beam specimens (200 × 300 × 3,100 mm), including six reinforced with BFRP bars and two with steel bars, were modeled under four-point bending using ANSYS software. The FEM predictions were validated against experimental data and benchmarked with the design provisions of ACI 440.1R-15 and CSA S806-12. The model showed strong agreement with experimental results, yielding ultimate load ratios of 0.92–0.94 for steel-reinforced beams and 1.01–1.45 for BFRP-reinforced beams. At higher reinforcement ratios, FEM predictions tended to overestimate the capacity of BFRP-reinforced beams. While steel-reinforced beams exhibited ductile failure, BFRP-reinforced beams failed in a brittle manner. The predicted moment-deflection responses and crack patterns closely matched both experimental observations and code-based predictions. This validated FEM provides a reliable computational framework for assessing and optimizing the design of BFRP-reinforced concrete beams, thereby advancing the application of non-metallic reinforcement in structural engineering. The findings also highlight challenges in accurately modeling concrete crushing and bond behavior within FEM, indicating directions for future refinement.

Abstract

This study develops a strength-based mix-design framework for rehabilitating flexible pavements using reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) blended with crushed rock (CR) and cement. Objectives were to quantify 7-day unconfined compressive strength (UCS) as a function of mixture variables and to provide field-ready proportioning equations. Methods comprised laboratory testing of RAP–CR blends (RAP = 0–100%) with 2–5% cement, Modified Proctor compaction, and 7-day UCS; regression related UCS to a modified parameter (w/c)(1−k·AS), where asphalt content (AS) is obtained from AS = 0.04·RAP. Findings show that increasing RAP lowers dry density (2.31→2.11 g/cm³) and raises optimum moisture (5.03→7.17%). The 7-day prediction is qᵤ,7 = 23.44/[(w/c)(1−0.22·AS)]0.677 (R² = 0.863). A worked example (4-cm asphalt over a 20-cm base; 20-cm milling) gives RAP = 20%, AS = 0.80, recommended w/c = 1.31, and cement = 4.03% at OMC = 5.28% and dry density = 2.276 g/cm³, satisfying 1.72 MPa (17.5 kg/cm²) at 7 days. Novelty/Improvement: the framework consolidates RAP content and binder effects into a single modified w/c parameter, enabling rapid, transparent proportioning for construction control. Broader impacts include reduced demand for virgin aggregate and haul-off of demolition debris, fewer truck movements and landfill burdens, and potential life-cycle cost savings in network-level rehabilitation.
