Compressive Strength Of Concrete

Abstract: The same amount of mixture ratio of cement, replacing a part of fly ash with a certain amount of mud to research about the workability of fresh concrete and the effect of the mechanical and shrinkage properties of hardened concrete. Test's results show: The different kinds of mud lead that the fluidity of the fresh concrete and the strength of hardened concrete are different. The influence of sand mud is lighter than planting mud on the fluidity and strength of concrete. The compressive strength of concrete decreases and the early shrinkage increase with an increase of mud replaced the fly ash.

Palm Kernel Shells

This study examined the effect of varying water cement ratio on the compressive strength of concrete produced using palm kernel shell (PKS) as coarse aggregate at different replacement levels. The replacement levels of coarse aggregate with palm kernel shells (PKS) were 0%, 25%, 50%, and 100% respectively. PKS concrete cubes (144 specimens) of sizes 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were cast and cured in water for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days respectively. A mix ratio of 1:2:4 was adopted with water-cement ratio of 0.45, 0.5, and 0.6 respectively while the batching was done by weight. Slump test was conducted on fresh concrete while compressive strength test was carried out on the hardened concrete cubes using a compression testing machine of 2000kN capacity. The result of tests on fresh concrete shows that the slump height of 0.45 water cement ratio (w/c) increases with an increase in PKS%. This trend was similar to 0.50 and 0.60 w/c. However, the compressive strength of concrete cube decreases with an increase in w/c (from 0.45 to 0.60) but increases with respect to curing age and also decreases with increase in PKS%. Concrete with 0.45 water-cement ratio possess the highest compressive strength. It was observed that PKS is not a good substitute for coarse aggregate in mix ratio 1:2:4 for concrete productions. Hence, the study suggest the use of chemical admixture such as superplasticizer or calcium chloride in order to improve the strength of palm kernel shells-concrete.

This study was undertaken to reduce the usage of cement in concrete where different proportions of tile powder as cement replacement were used. Since in the manufacture of cement an exuberant amount of carbon dioxide is disposed of in the environment, this research aims to curtail the dependence on cement and its production. The objective of this work is to investigate the properties of fresh mix concrete (workability) and hardened concrete (compressive and splitting tensile strength) in concrete with different proportions of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% of tile powder as a cement substitute. In this study, a total of 90 concrete samples were cast with mix proportions of 1:1.5:3, 0.5 water-cement ratio, cured for 7, 14 and 28 days. For determining the compressive strength, cubical samples, with dimensions of 100mm×100mm×100mm, were cast, while for the determination of the splitting tensile strength, cylindrical samples with dimensions of 200mm diameter and 100mm height, were tested after 7, 14, and 28 days. The highest compressive strength of concrete achieved for tile powder concrete was 7.50% at 10% replacement after 28days of curing. The splitting tensile strength got to 10.2% when concrete was replaced with 10% of tile powder and cured for 28 days. It was also shown that with increasing percentage of the tile powder content, the workability of the fresh concrete increases.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

Based on experimental results, mathematical models were elaborated to predict the development of compressive strength of concrete with fly ash replacement percentages up to 30 %. Strength of concrete with different types of cement (CEM I 42.5, CEM I 32.5, CEM III 32.5), after 2, 28, 90, 180 days of curing, have been analysed to evaluate the effect of addition content, the time of curing and the type of cement on the compressive strength changes. The adequacy of equations obtained was verified using statistical methods. The test results of selected properties of binders and hardened concrete with fly ash are also included. The analysis showed that concrete with fly ash is characterised by advantageous applicable qualities.

The article deals with theme of high fly ash content concretes intended for long life constructions. Considering the still growing consumption of fly ash in construction concretes it is a live theme in the Czech Republic and abroad as well. The emphasis will be laid namely on characteristics and requirements for fresh concrete intended for construction of these specific concrete constructions. They are for instance waterproof constructions, tunnel linings, concretes for bridge and road constructions etc. Also the hardened concrete properties like compressive strength, resistance to pressure water, durability and further necessary parameters for obtainment of required properties of these concretes will be monitored.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

Limestone powder is a readily available and inexpensive material. As an admixture, limestone powder partially replacing fly ash or slag which gets serious to supply today has great significance in the aspects of solving raw materials of concrete, reducing project cost and environment protection. Effects of complex adding of ultra-fine limestone powder and fly ash on the workability and strength of concrete are studied in this paper. Experimental results show that: The fluidity of fresh concrete increases with the ratio of ultra-fine LP to fly ash increasing. The slump loss decreases with the ratio of ultra-fine LP to fly ash increasing. When the ratio of LP to fly ash increases from 5:5 to 9:1, the W/B decreases slightly and the slump of concrete almost is in the region of 210-230mm, the compressive strength of concrete remain basically unchanged. The concrete can produce lots of air bubble when the ratio of ultra-fine LP to fly ash exceeds 8:2 .When the proportion of admixtures of ultra LP and fly ash exceeds 50%, the 28 days compressive strength decreases obviously.

Forced Mixing

This paper made a study on the effect of different vibrating parameters on the air content and compressive strength of concrete by the test of using the combining method of vibrating and forced mixing, and compared it with common forced mixing and mixing with air entraining agent. It indicated that the blade of the mixer, also as the vibrating source of vibrating mixing, had a significant effect on the air content of fresh concrete and compressive strength of hardened concrete; the air content of the fresh concrete could be up to 3.0%~3.5% when the vibrating strength was 4~8, and meanwhile the compressive strength of the hardened concrete was higher; different with improving the air content by adding air entraining agent, the vibrating mixing could increase the air content in the concrete by more retained air from bubbles refined in the mixing process and make the diameters of pores inside in the decreasing direction. In this case, it could not only improve the air entraining effect to achieve the high value of air content required by the construction, but it also could increase the compressive strength of the concrete comparing with the forced mixing with air entraining agent.
