Abstract

Concrete is frequently utilized infra-structural construction material all over the world. Cement is the main part of the concrete, during its manufacturing emission of gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) from cement factories create greenhouse effect. In these days various natural pozzolanic materials are used as partial replacement of cement to enhance strength and durability and to reduction in consumption of cement consequently reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of groundnut shell ash as a cement replacement material on workability and compressive strength of concrete. One mix of ordinary concrete and five mixes of modified concrete were prepared, where cement is replaced by groundnut shell ash from 3% to 15% by weight of cement, with 3% increment with 1:2:4 binding ratio mixed with 0.5 water/cement ratio. The workability and compressive strength of concrete was investigated. The obtained outcomes demonstrated that, groundnut shell ash as a cement replacement material have significant effect on compressive strength of concrete.

Abstract

Peat is considered problematic soil due to its large void ratio, high compressibility and low shear strength. Various ground improvement methods have been developed in recent years to improve peat’s strength properties. Polyurethane grouting is one of the ground improvement methods that is gaining recognition as effective and fast way to stabilize soil. Polyurethane is a lightweight material produced by mixing polyol and isocyanate chemicals. Upon mixing, a polyurethane foam is created which expands up to a few times of its original volume. In this study, the strength characteristics of polyurethane with different mix ratios of polyol to isocyanate were evaluated to determine the optimum ratio suitable to be used to stabilize peat. Polyol to isocyanate ratio of 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:1.2, 1:2.5 and 1:3 were tested in this this research. The propagation, microstructure and density of polyurethane were investigated. Compressive strength of polyurethane determined using Unconfined Compression Strength test. Polyurethane created with higher ratio of isocyanate bears higher density and compressive strength compared to the polyurethane with lesser quantity of isocyanate. The cell structure of the polyurethane also is smaller with thicker cell walls. However, the curing time consumed by the polyurethane with high ratio of isocyanate is 8 times greater than the normal polyurethane. Thus, polyurethane ratio with fast curing time and high compressive strength was chosen as the optimum mix ratio to be used to stabilize peat.

Abstract

This study aimed toward analyzing length and content of coir fiber on workability and strength of concrete. For this purpose, different fractions of coir fibers of length as 10 mm, 20 mm and 30mm are used with varying proportions as 0.15%, 20%,0.25%,0.3% and 0.35% by the volume of concrete. One mix of control concrete and 15 mixes of concrete with inclusion of cot fibers were prepared. The experiments were conducted to check the workability, compressive and tensile strength of concrete. It was observed from conducted research, that the workability is decreased with increasing the content of coir fibers. On the basis of conducted research, the inclusion of 0.25% of coir fibers of length 20mm is optimum. With inclusion of 0.25% of coir fibers of length 20mm, compressive and tensile strength is improved as compared to control mix.

Abstract

Seismic isolation is a system to reduce seismic energy acting on the bridge by adding an object so-called base insulator. The purpose of this study is to obtain a comparison of dimension, damping ratio, and the lower structure response designed as a ductile component with High Damping Rubber Bearings (HDRB) and Lead Rubber Bearings (LRB). This study uses CSI BRIDGE 21 computer program. Earthquake forces analysis uses dynamic analysis with response spectra as final evaluation for the performance of lead rubber bearing and high damping rubber bearings and the load characteristics for bridges is following SNI 1725: 2016 and bridge design for earthquake load is following SNI 2833: 2016. The bridge performance is expected to no longer rely merely on the dimensions and stiffness of the pillars in response to earthquake loads, but also on LRB or HDRB as a structural device on bridge support by increasing the effectiveness of pillar stiffness in providing damping energy during an earthquake.
