Performance of Recycled Concrete Made from Railway Sleeper: Experimental Study

Concrete railway sleeper has been used in Indonesia since about 1990�s. It has more advantage that is less maintenance, stabile, good quality, shapeable, onsite raw material, and higher loading ability [9-10, 20 - 22]. But It is prone to damage such as cracking and breaking during construction, so it is often thrown away as a solid waste that can contaminate the land and reduce soil fertility. Therefore, it should be utilized in order to be more useful that is used as recycle aggregate. The concrete waste that is taken from broken concrete railway sleeper will be crush as an aggregate as raw material in the concrete to substitute part or all of the normal concrete. It is called recycled aggregate and concrete that is made from recycled aggregate is called recycled concrete. Base on the testing of raw material, the recycled aggregate can be met to the specification as ASTM [1], so it can be used for concrete raw material. Recycled concrete compressive strength result lower the normal concrete compressive strength in the same initial strength design. The strength value of recycled concrete is decrease about 1 � 17% for 25 MPa and 10 � 18% for 30 MPa. It is also happened to tensile strength of recycled concrete that decrease about 2 � 13 % for 25 MPa and 7 � 22 % for 30 MPa.

Effects of Steel Fibers (SF) and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBBS) on Recycle Aggregate Concrete

Recycle aggregate is one of the good options to use in concrete as coarse aggregate which results environmental benefits as well as sustainable development. However, recycle aggregate cause reduction in concrete performance. One the other hand, the removal of industrial waste would be considerably decreased if it could be incorporated in cement concrete production. One of these possibilities is the substitution of the cement by slag, which enhance concrete poor properties of recycle aggregate concrete as well as provides to the decrease of cement consumption, reducing carbon dioxide productions, while resolving a waste management challenge. Furthermore, steel fiber was also added to hance the tensile capacity of recycle aggregate concrete. The main goal of this study is to investigate the characteristics of concrete using Ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) as binding material on recycle aggregate fibers reinforce concrete (RAFRC). Mechanical performance was assessed through compressive strength and split tensile strength, while durability aspects was study through water absorption, acid resistance and dry shrinkage. The results detected from the different experiments depict that replacement of Ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) enhance mechanical performance as well as durability aspects of the recycle aggregate fibers reinforce concrete (RAFRC).

Effect of Silica Fume on Mechanical and Durability Properties of Recycled Coarse Aggregate Concrete

Reusing concrete is the best choice to diminish the eagerness on mind blowing standard assets and to oblige the total of waste which is engineered in landfills. Reused concrete has been regularly used as an unbound material as a touch of dams, bases, and sub-bases. RAC has in like way been utilized as a piece of the improvement of asphalts and wastes yet in less case as the examination in this field is not the most outrageous utmost of RAC has not yet been investigated. In this investigation the reused total was utilized as supplanting with 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% by substitution of typical aggregate. Standard Ordinary Portland cement was supplanted with 10% of mineral admixture silica fume. Tests were coordinated to choose the mechanical properties and durability properties such us rapid chloride penetrability test and water sorptivity test. The results show that increasing the recycle aggregate percentage above 40% with natural aggregate, small modifications to the mix design may be adopted to secure that comparable property to natural aggregate concrete is attained

Study of the Compressive Strength of Concrete Using Marble, Granite and Recycled Aggregates with Polypropylene Fiber

Marble Industry produces large amount of waste during mining and processing stages. This waste is dumped on to open land which creates a lot of environmental problems We get recycle aggregate from the old dumped structures and buildings. The main objective of this study was utilization of marble, granite and recycled aggregate waste with polypropylene fiber as a replacement for conventional natural coarse aggregates in concrete. Experimental investigations were carried out to examine the feasibility of use of marble, granite and recycled aggregates waste as coarse aggregates in concrete. Conventional natural coarse aggregates was fully replacement by marble in different percentages 0-60% , granite 0-30% and recycle aggregates 0-40% with polypropylene fiber less than 1% by weight. The concrete formulations were prepared with a constant water.

Review on The Production Of Concrete By Using Waste Coarse Material

Marble Industry produces large amount of waste during mining and processing stages. This waste is dumped on to open land which creates a lot of environmental problems. Similarly granite is also produced in the same manner in great amount. We get recycle aggregate from the old dumped structures and buildings. the main objective of this study was utilization of marble, granite and recycled aggregate waste with polypropylene fiber as a replacement for conventional natural coarse aggregates in concrete.

STUDI KUAT TEKAN BETON RECYCLE AGREGAT TERHADAP LINGKUNGAN AIR LAUT

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menginvestigasi kekuatan tekan beton agregat recycle (BAR) terhadap pengaruh rendaman air laut. Total tiga puluh benda uji beton berbentuk silinder dengan ukuran (f150 x 300 mm) diproduksi dari dua jenis campuran yang berbeda. Jenis pertama beton agregat normal (BAN) adalah beton normal terdiri atas campuran semen portland, normal agregat kasar (NAK), pasir sungai dan air tawar. Adapun jens kedua (BAR) adalah beton recycle aggregate yang terdiri dari campuran semen Portland, recycle agregat kasar (RAK), pasir sungai dan air tawar. Adapun rencana target kuat tekan beton benda uji adalah sebesar 250 kg/cm2 dengan nilai faktor air semen (fas) sebesar 0.45. Benda uji yang telah dibentuk kemudian dilakukan proses perendaman air laut secara langsung mulai umur 3, 7, 14, 21, dan 28 hari.

Structural steel bond to concrete with waste aggregate

The article presents the results of bond tests of B500SP structural steel to concretes subjected to thermal stress. Concretes were designed purely on the basis on waste aggregate made of soft clay pottery with using two types of cements: Portland CEM 32.5R and aluminous cement Górkal 70. In the research was used the method of direct pulling the steel rod out of the concrete cover (Pullout Test). For the tests were prepared four types of concretes: two bases of aluminous cement and two on Portland cement without additions. In the remaining mixtures containing the additive in the form of clinoptilolite, the method of simple weight replacement of the selected type of cement with clinoptilolite in the amount of 10% was used. Mineral puzzolana additives are intended to modify the phase composition of hardened cement slurry towards reducing the portlandite and changing the CaO/SiO2 ratio in the C-S-H phase. The results of the tests confirmed that the bond of the selected steel type to concrete on the recycle aggregate does not differ from the results achieved with natural aggregate. It was also confirmed that addition of clinoptilolite to concrete with Portland cement has beneficial effect when it is subjected to thermal stress.
