The use of calcined clays [CC], combined in ternary blended with the limestone filler and cement has received considerable attention in recent years. This paper discusses the results on the rheological and compressive strength of three types of calcined clays in combination with marble powder and cement, used as ternary binder in self-compacting mortars. A simplex-lattice mixture design approach was used, with five levels, to establish the different binder combinations. The responses of the system were evaluated in terms of rheological properties and compressive strength. The tests conducted on SCM ternary mixes are slump flow diameter, v-funnel flow time, yield value, viscosity and compressive strength at 28, 90 and 365 days. It was concluded that the replacement of cement with calcined clays and marble powder in ternary mixes reduced the flowability by decreasing slump flow and increasing v-funnel time. However, the combined effect of marble powder and calcined clays is more appropriate to produce flowable SCM mixes while maintaining an adequate viscosity. In terms of compressive strength. A progressively increasing trend was observed for 28 days compressive strength with the increase in marble powder and calcined clays in binary proportions.

The article presents the influence of a superficial strengthening system on the behaviour of AAC-block walls with thin bed joints and unfilled head joints. The strengthening system consisted of a high-strength fibreglass mesh applied to both wall surfaces with a mineral mortar reinforced with fibreglass. A series of strengthened and unstrengthened specimens was tested under diagonal compression according to ASTM E519-15 to determine their shear strength and stress-strain characteristics. The use of optical strain measurement made it possible to identify the failure mode for both types of the tested walls. The strengthening system changed the wall failure development, which was initiated by unfilled head joints in both cases. The application of the strengthening system on both wall surfaces improved the strength properties of the wall significantly. The load-bearing capacity of the specimens increased by nearly 90% and cracking of the walls occurred at loads about 50% higher compared to specimens with no superficial strengthening. The strengthened specimens exhibited a ductile behaviour after reaching the maximum bearing capacity. A simplified method for computing the cracking load and maximum load was also proposed, the results of which are consistent with the tests results.

The surface zone of the recycled aggregate plays a significant role in the strength and durability of concrete. In this research, various concrete series incorporating natural coarse aggregate [NCA], untreated recycled coarse aggregate RCA(UN), mechanical scrubbing treated coarse aggregate RCA(MS), sulfuric acid treated coarse aggregate RCA(H2SO4) and hydrochloric acid treated aggregate RCA(HCl) were investigated. Manufactured sand was used as an alternative to natural river sand in five series of concrete with 100% replacement ratio. The mechanical properties: compressive, split tensile, and flexural strength, respectively, were determined at the age of 28 and 56 days. Durability properties: water absorption, drying, sulfuric acid, sodium sulphate and sorptivity test were determined at the age of 28, 56 and 90 days and the results were compared to reference concrete. According to the results, RCA(UN) was found to marginally decreased the concrete performance, and the above mentioned treated aggregate shows a significant improvement in overall performance compared to RCA(UN), especially RCA(MS), which enhances the concrete more significantly than other methods. Moreover, the scanning electron microscope results also emphasize the enhanced microstructure of treated recycled aggregate in concrete. The photographic view of the cross sections of the samples shows a superior interfacial transition zone in all kinds of treated aggregate concrete than in untreated recycled aggregate concrete.

The article deals with research on sustainable building materials - alkali-activated mortars with high temperature resistance. A cement-free alkali-activated binder [geopolymer] based on alkali-activated fly ash from coal combustion using perlite, perlite dust and cenospheres as filler. The object of the analysis was to study the effect of fillers on the coefficient of thermal conductivity, compressive strength and microstructure of the cementless mortars. The results showed that the most effective addition was perlite sand in the amount of 30%. The other tested lightweight fillers did not significantly change the thermal conductivity of the tested mortars.

In this study, repair mortars with artificial and natural pozzolan additives were produced for the restoration of historical buildings. Class C fly ash, an artificial pozzolan and zeolite the natural pozzolan, were substituted into these lime-based mortars. Two different aggregate types were used in the preparation of the mortars: natural river sand and crushed brick. A total of 18 batches of mortars were produced, two of which were reference batches. In the first group of batches, fly ash, which is the major pozzolan, was tested in both aggregate groups in 20%, 40%, and 60% ratios of lime substitution. In the second group of batches, fly ash and zeolite were used in different proportions as lime substitution. In the reference series, air lime was used alone. At the end of the 28, 56, and 90 days curing period, mechanical, physical properties, and phase composition of the mortars were determined. When the pozzolan-added mortars were compared with the reference mortars, it was observed that pozzolans provided significant improvements in the physical and mechanical properties of the repair mortars. While significant improvements were observed in the physical properties of the mortars where fly ash was used as the only pozzolan, mechanical properties were better in the mortars with zeolite.

This paper uses Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to semi-quantitatively measure the amount of calcium carbonate in historical gypsum mortars. 17 historical mortar samples related to Arch of Alishāh in Tabriz-Iran, belonging to the Ilkhanid period, were evaluated. The methodology used in this study was diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy [DRIFTS]. Gypsum mortars containing 0-6.5% calcite were prepared and analysed using an FTIR spectrometer. The calibration curve was prepared based on the band intensity ratio of 1485 cm-1 related to carbonate vibrations in calcite to 660 cm-1 corresponding to sulphate vibrations in gypsum. Calculating the amount of carbonate in all historical mortars shows the presence of about 0.12 to 1.08% carbonate in gypsum mortar. According to obtained results, it can be acknowledged that due to the meagre amount of carbonate in the mixture of mortars, the existing carbonate has entered the mortar as an impurity through soil or dissolved salts. This can indicate that, contrary to the initial idea about some of these mortars, lime and gypsum mixture was not used as the main component in the making these mortars.

A review of concrete durability at several sections of the new built expressways in Poland is presented. Two-layers jointed plain concrete pavements were constructed using a slip-form technology. For freeze-thaw and deicing salts durability of concrete the specified air void properties, including the spacing factor and the microvoids content, was evaluated on core specimens drilled from the constructed pavements. The observed system of fine air voids indicates optimal features for increased frost and scaling resistance without a significant negative impact on strength. The correlation was established between the microvoid content in the hardened concrete and the data of the Super Air Metre on fresh concrete mix was established. Concrete durability in high moisture environment, combined with fatigue traffic load and external supply of alkaline deicing salt solutions, was considered using newly developed principles of nonreactive aggregate selection. The aggregate selection based on petrographic analysis and the assessment of expansive behaviour of concrete was fully confirmed using the performance tests with external supply of sodium chloride. The suitability of the established methodology for durability acceptance testing for exploration of alternative materials for paving is discussed.

Waste recovery is now a favourable solution for technical and economic reasons. The purpose of this study is the valuation of marine co-products – seashells, whose goal is to produce an eco-material that responds to the environmental problem. The experimental study focuses on the idea of replacing natural aggregates with recycled shell aggregates and studying their influence on the properties of pervious concrete. For this purpose, six concrete mixtures were prepared, where three of them were based on natural crushed limestone aggregates with 20% of porosity but had different dosages of cement 250, 300, and 350 kg/m3. The other three concretes have identical compositions, except that crushed shell aggregates substitute the natural aggregates. The obtained results are showing that the use of crushed shells considerably influences the properties of the studied concretes. In the fresh state, all concretes present high slump values and low density. Using shell aggregates improves the mechanical resistance, especially the tensile strength, by bending for the hardened state. Despite their shapes, the shell aggregates used in this study do not affect the concrete porosity, and consequently, draining concretes with good permeability have been obtained.

Nowadays, because of the use of active additives in cement, studies on carbonation progress are crucial to ensure the safety of structures. Carbonation depth measurement involves the use of a calliper to determine the front of the carbonation. The values determined in this way are averaged, and the corrosion progress is estimated based on these values. Due to the fact that the standard approach assumes the use of a discrete method for determining the carbonation depth, the measurement may be subject to error, and its execution, especially for many samples, is time-consuming. An alternative method for determining the depth of carbonation may be continuous measurement, which determines the actual depth of carbonation since the entire sample area is analysed. Therefore, digital image analysis is the more precise and convenient approach. Unfortunately, it is not an approach, covered by the standards, but may help to assess the correctness of the determination, the carbonation depth. The problem with the use of digital analysis in proposed method may be the quality of the image obtained. The main problem may be the sphericity of the image, related to the nature of the camera, but also the lack of perpendicularity of the optical system of the camera to the sample when fixing its image, related to incorrect positioning by the camera operator. The results show that the digital image analysis is more accurate than the traditional approach, and that the distortion caused by the tilt of the image does not affect the obtained values to a greater degree than the measurement accuracy of the traditional approach.

By-pass dusts are waste products formed during the production of Portland clinker. Due to the high amounts of chlorine in by-pass dust, they cannot be reused in cement production. Mineral fertilizer producers have the technology to recover potassium from by-pass dust, during which unwanted chlorine is simultaneously extracted. Due to the high content of non-carbonated CaO in the residue after extracting potassium and chlorine from by-pass dust, this material can be a very valuable ingredient in the production of Portland clinker. This paper aims to present the possibility of producing low-emission Portland clinker using the residue after extracting potassium and chlorine from by-pass dust. Using the maximum amount of extraction residue in the raw material sets from which Portland clinker is produced reduced emissions by 407.6 kg CO2 per Mg of Portland clinker, compared to Portland clinker produced from natural carbonate raw materials. Additionally, cements made from clinkers calcined with extraction residue showed better strength increases after 2, 7, 28, and 90 days of curing compared to reference cement made from Portland clinker calcined with natural carbonate raw materials.

Additionally, cements made from clinkers calcined with extraction residue showed better strength increases after 2, 7, 28, and 90 days of curing compared to reference cement made from Portland clinker calcined with natural carbonate raw materials.","PeriodicalId":55632,"journal":{"name":"Cement Wapno Beton","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135734402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
