Chemical anchors are widely used in additional installations of construction irons, repair and reinforcement work. Due to the increasing diversity of materials and the improved awareness of waste products, it has become possible to produce different kinds of concrete, with various properties. In this study, class B420C ribbed bars with 16 mm diameter, were installed in four different concretes by using four different chemical adhesives, and a tensile force was applied. The stiffness, displacement ductility ratio, energy-dissipation capability and tensile force values were determined and the failure modes were interpreted from the load-displacement curves, obtained as a result of the experiments. It was found that the tensile force and energy-dissipation capacity, had increased as a result of installing anchor and applying a tensile force to the concrete, that was obtained by adding admixture materials, to the reference concrete. In the analytical part of the study, the formulation provided in ACI 318 was used, capacity and design strengths were identified, and their safety levels were determined in comparison with the test results.

The cement industry is facing the challenge of a lack of supplementary cementitious materials substituting clinker. This applies primarily to granulated blast furnace slag, the most commonly used as the main component of cements, due to changes in the metallurgical industry, and to siliceous fly ash due to the abandonment of fossil fuels in the world. A potential new main component of common cements may be calcined marls, which are available in large quantities for every producer of Portland clinker. In this article, research was carried out on calcined marls from the Folwark deposit, near Opole, Poland. The conducted experiments showed that marls after calcination show pozzolanic-hydraulic properties and can replace both granulated blast furnace slag and silica fly ash in the composition of cement. The best pozzolanic-hydraulic properties are obtained by calcination of Folwark marls at 900°C

Lightweight concrete [LWC] is rapidly reaching its full potential for a broad range of applications in the construction of concrete structures. It is tailor-made material for specific applications having beneficial properties. Therefore, the paper is devoted to the experimental analysis and study of fly ash and bagasse ash on the durability properties of lightweight concrete. Durability can be defined as the ability of the material to withstand the effects of its environment which are influencing the deterioration of concrete. The saturated water absorption and sorptivity was studied through experimental investigations, by varying the percentage of fly ash and bagasse ash content. Both fly ash and bagasse ash shows that the increase in the percentage of replacement leads to the more absorption of lightweight concrete. The results are investigated and presented on the studies conducted as follows, showing that the increases in the percentage of replacement, strength also increased.

Even though concrete is considered to be durable, the environment to which the concrete is exposed plays an important role in its durability. The durability of concrete is challenged due to its porous nature, which is especially important in harsh exposure conditions such as marine environment. The reinforced concrete elements of marine structures such as bridges, wharves, docks, etc. are subjected to various types of exposures such as wetting and drying action [WDA], fully submerged condition, and in contact with chlorides. To refine the pore structure of concrete and to improve the durability characteristics of such structures, it is essential to use high performance concrete [HPC]. In this study, metakaolin [MK] is used as partial replacement of cement to produce HPC. The use of metakaolin is found to be very effective in reducing the porosity of concrete. As the porosity of concrete decreases, the corrosion rate can be reduced considerably. The durability characteristics of metakaolin-incorporated HPC is studied for 365 days to investigate the changes in its pore structure in long term. The iCOR® NDT method is used to find the corrosion performance and concrete resistivity of high performance metakaolin concrete under a simulated wetting and drying action [WDA] of seawater over several periods. The deterioration effect caused by the simulated WDA of seawater is also studied by considering the bond strength of specimens subjected to normal and corrosive exposure conditions.

This paper presents the results of a study of the effect of synthetic zeolite addition on the formation of tobermorite in a burnt lime-quartz mixture. Synthetic zeolite was obtained by thermal activation of halloysite followed by boiling in sodium hydroxide solution. In this study, the formation of tobermorite was investigated at a constant CaO/SiO2 molar ratio of 0.86 under autoclaving conditions corresponding to saturated steam pressure at 180ºC. The synthesis times were 4 and 12 hours. Synthetic zeolite was added at 5%, 15% and 30%. Studies have shown that synthetic zeolite infl uences the formation of hydrated calcium silicates with poor crystallinity. After 4 hours of autoclaving for samples with synthetic zeolite, a small peak of tobermorite can be found on the XRD pattern. In samples where the molar ratio of Al/(Al+Si) > 0.15 was exceeded, hydrogarnets of the hibschite-katoite group appear. The paper shows that hydrogarnets of the hibschite-katoite group appear for samples with 15% and 30% zeolite after 4 hours of hydrothermal treatment. The intensity of the katoite reflection decreases with increasing autoclaving time and disappears for the sample with 15% zeolite after 12 hours of autoclaving. The presence of portlandite was also demonstrated in these samples.

Technological progress in construction is manifested in both industrialization of construction projects and in the production of high-quality precast elements in complex architectural projects. The production process requires detailed preparation. It begins at the design stage of the facility, which is the most important part of the implementation process. There was a significant change in the time-consuming execution of the technical design of the facility, in relation to the production of precast elements and especially the implementation of the facility itself. Production and project management are carried out thanks to BIM technology, which supports not only the production process but also the phase of its operation. The technical documentation takes into account both the modularity of the wall and ceiling elements, as well as the physical, chemical, and visual parameters of the concrete of individual prefabricated elements. Therefore, the technical drawings of the facilities must be prepared taking into account the close cooperation of builders and architects.

In this study, an integrated approach by Taguchi, Analytic Hierarchy Process [AHP] and Simple Additive Weighting [SAW] method was proposed to find out the optimal insulation plaster mortar series, based on multiple criteria. Firstly, Taguchi method was applied to define the experimental design plan, with the factors of cement, lime, dolomite and perlite in three levels for each with L9 orthogonal design. Then, ultrasonic pulse velocity, compressive strength, bond strength, capillarity water absorption and thermal conductivity experiments, were made according to the design. The importance weights of criteria were obtained by AHP and the scores of the series were calculated by SAW method. The factors’ optimum levels were obtained based on the scores and the optimal series was proposed.

Light weight concrete is an important part in the concrete technology. The use of mineral additives in light-weight concrete, to replace fine aggregate with fly ash and bagasse ash, helps to reduce the cement content. The present investigation aims to meet the performance of light weight concrete, by adding fly ash and bagasse ash, as fine aggregate replacement additives. The strength properties such as cube compressive strength, cylinder compressive strength and split tensile strength were investigated after different ages, to find the optimum addition of mineral additives such as fly ash and bagasse ash, in concrete. The strengths were compared and the optimal replacement level of cement with fly ash and bagasse ash was found. The cylinder compressive strength and split tensile strength of light weight concrete were measured, at the same replacement levels of mineral additives, at the age of 28 days curing. The mathematical equations were proposed to achieve cube compressive and tensile strengths, cylinder compressive and tensile strength and cube compressive and cylinder compressive strengths, concerning typical strength.

This paper describes the use of CRT glass waste for the production of polymer concrete. The CRT glass was subjected to a multistage mechanical disintegration process, in a way that allowed obtaining grains smaller than 2 mm. A set of hybrid reinforced polymer concrete was produced by using: ground CRT glass, sand and cut glass fibers 4.5 mm and 12 mm long. The influence of the volume of fibers and the length of glass fibers on the properties of polymer concrete with 30% by volume of epoxy resin, acting as a binder was described. Tests of CRT glass were carried out, among others study of chemical composition, particle size distribution and analysis of grain morphology. For polymer concrete, the flexural strength and compressive strength were determined, and the open porosity, apparent density, and water absorption were examined. The test results showed that polymer concrete with the use of milled CRT glass is a good way to manage this problematic waste. The polymer concrete has several times better than traditional concretes and significantly lower porosity and water absorption, which makes this material advantageous in applications such as the production of thin-walled products and products exposed to water and chemical attack. The addition of chopped glass fibers leads to an increase in mechanical properties and also protects the material against rapid disintegration after exceeding the maximum tresses, which is extremely important for the safety of use of the structure in the event of a failure.
