The paper presents new and unique results of two-year examinations of mortars containing ground glass, as a substitute for 15 or 30% by mass of ordinary Portland cement in comparison with the properties of mortars with the analogous addition of ground granulated blast furnace slag, in different temperatures. Moreover, after a two-year curing period, the mortars were autoclaved. Samples were subjected to compressive strength measurements, XRD analysis and the determination of calcium hydroxide content, by means of thermogravimetric analysis. The results confirm that as an additive, glass powder, thanks to its pozzolanic properties, can compete with common SCMs like granulated blast furnace slag. Additionally, a reduction in strength was not observed after the autoclaving process, for the mortars with 15% glass addition. The data collected in the paper confirms that the pozzolanic properties of ground glass allows its use as an additive. It also shows the ability of these mortars to maintain a constant level of strength in the long term and even after the autoclaving of two-year-old samples

The paper presents the results of the study on the possibility of obtaining high-strength durable geopolymer concrete with fly ash as the basic component. As a result of the research conducted, it was found that the highest potential to obtain geopolymer concrete with high strength was shown for fine-grained, specially selected siliceous ashes from coal combustion. However, the geopolymer concrete obtained by alkaline activation of these ashes with the 8M NaOH solution was not resistant to freeze-thaw cycles. Replacement of 15% fly ash with calcined waste clay and the use of the mixture of NaOH solution and water glass as an activator substantially increased the durability of this concrete. This modification of the concrete composition changed the microstructure of the matrix in the hardened concrete, since the cancrinite was found in the study.

The effect of limestone filler [LF], dolomite filler [DF], metakaolin [MK], and metaillite [MI] additives on the packing density of the binary blended cements were studied using of the water film thickness [WFT] and the optimal water demand [OWD]. The influence of these supplementary cementitious materials [SCM] on the flowability of cement pastes and mortars was analyzed and the compressive strength of mortars was discussed. The results indicate that the incorporation of these SCM on the packing density is highly related to the particle size distribution and the optimal addition of SCM to the blended cements, assures maximum packing density. The effects on flowability not only depend on packing density but of the surface area of particles and the addition of SCM enhance the compressive strength of the mortars.

In this study, the behavior of concrete beams with and without fiber was investigated. In the experimental part, a total of 16 beam specimens were manufactured having different section sizes. 12 specimens were reinforced with synthetic fibers, that provide toughness, impact, and fatigue strength to concrete. The fiber ratios of the samples varied between 0% and 0.20% by mass. The samples were subjected to a four-point bending test to obtain the maximum load and displacement values, until they reached the failure modes. Subsequently, the beam samples were modelled in the Abacus finite element analysis software. Due to the comparison of experimental and numerical values and stress distributions of the specimens, it is seen that numerical analysis could be an option when investigating the behavior of beams with different dimensions in four-point bending.

In order to evaluate the usefulness of unground granulated slag for the concrete production, as the partial replacement of fine aggregate – namely sand, the detailed studies of the influence of this addition on the properties of the fresh and hardened concrete were conducted. These studies included the compression strength and the modulus of elasticity determination, as well as the evaluation of durability by the determination of frost resistance. The evaluation of the properties of concretes hardened under winter conditions, at +10oC and summer conditions at +20oC. These studies also covered the resistance to chloride attack and carbonization. The long-lasting examination covered also the ASR. At the end, under real construction conditions in the Austrian prefabrication plant, the unground granulated slag was examined. Under these conditions especially the long-lasting measurements of the strength development of the precast elements were verifi ed. In order to evaluate the usefulness of the unground granulated slag, as partial replacement of fine aggregate, the concretes with the additions of slag of 10% and 15% were produced and examined. For this evaluation, the slags of two Austrian plants from Upper Austria and Styria were used. The old and fresh slags from these two plants were used because the old slags can also be adopted for concrete production. Presented in the paper results are confi rming that the natural aggregate of the fraction < 4 mm can be successfully replaced by unground granulated slag, without any negative influence on the properties of concrete.

In the study, a field trial was carried out to evaluate the applicability of ground waste glass cullet as a binder component, in the industrial production of precast concrete elements. The influence of glass cullet addition on the properties of fresh and hardened concretes was compared to siliceous fly ash. Moreover, the effects of a partial substitution of the natural aggregate with recycled concrete and expanded clay aggregate were determined. The compressive strength of concretes, in which 25% of cement was substituted with ground waste glass cullet, was even 20% higher compared to elements with an analogous addition of siliceous fly ash. Over 56 days, no drops in strength related to the harmful effects of the alkali-silica reaction were observed. Replacing half of the natural aggregate with graded recycled concrete aggregate, allowed to lower the thermal conductivity of the walls by approx. 10%, with no negative impact on the compressive strength of precast elements. However, a decrease in the consistency of fresh mix was observed after 30 minutes. Replacing the 2÷8 mm gravel with the same fraction of expanded clay resulted in an approx. 18% decrease in thermal conductivity, while maintaining satisfactory mechanical properties. It was concluded that ground waste glass cullet can be successfully used as a fly ash replacement in the production of precast concrete elements.

This paper deals with the strength and mass loss of geopolymer concrete in comparison with conventional cement concrete after elevated temperature exposure. In this study, the coarse aggregates of the conventional geopolymer concrete are replaced partially (40%) with ferrochrome slag aggregates, to obtain the replacement mix of geopolymer concrete. The microstructure of geopolymer concrete was examined by XRD, X-ray tomography, and SEM and also discussed in this paper. The results concluded that after exposure at elevated temperature, the conventional cement concrete has a strength loss of about 18% higher than the geopolymer concrete. It was also noted that though replacement geopolymer mix exhibited the strength loss of 24.4% and mass loss of 1.35% higher than the conventional geopolymer mix, it had greater strength than conventional geopolymer mix, for most of the temperature ranges. Thus the replacement mix of geopolymer concrete behaves better than conventional geopolymer concrete, both at ambient and elevated temperature conditions.

The energy consumption and the release of carbon dioxide during cement production require the search for alternative building materials. There is an increasing need for more environmentally friendly, more economical, durable and high-strength materials. Studies on recycling of waste materials in construction contribute to meeting this need. In this study, a new material that allows reuse of wastes was produced using known materials and techniques. Alkali-activated roller compacted concrete [AARCC] was produced with recycled coarse aggregates and the mechanical properties of this material were investigated. In this experimental study, the objective was to produce an alternative construction material composed of waste or by-products. Ground granulated blast furnace slag [GGBFS] was activated with a sodium silicate [Na2SiO3] and 10 M sodium hydroxide [NaOH] solution. The Na2SiO3 / NaOH ratio was 2.5 in the activator solution. The coarse aggregates were obtained from roller compacted concrete (RCC) wastes and an environmentally friendly material was produced without using any cement. As a roller compacted concrete is produced with a very dry consistency compared to conventional concrete, the amount of activator used is low, which provides environmental and economic benefits. The compressive strengths of the cube RCC specimens were determined at the ages of 7 and 28 days. Using the mix proportions designed in this study, it was found that the compressive strengths of alkali-activated RCCs were higher than roller compacted Portland cement concrete having high dosage of cement. Unit mass, total water absorption, ultrasonic pulse velocity [UPV], and modulus of elasticity of alkali-activated RCCs were also determined.

Reduce, reuse and recycle are the important facets of susta-inable construction and environmental recovery. Increase in the construction activity generates huge amount of construction and demolition waste worldwide, and has a potential to be used as concrete coarse aggregate. In the future, where, most of the cities are likely to become concrete jungles, recycling and multi-recycling of concrete becomes all the more important. Also, the precast industry generates large amount of wastes due to discrepancies in quality of materials. Instead of depositing them as landfi lls or rejecting recycled materials, the possibility of reusing them is investigated and the fi nite number of times the recycling can be done, is examined. The present paper ponders on literature works, done by various researchers to check the variation in properties of recycled concrete aggregate, after fi nite number of generations of recycling. The studies on fresh and hardened state properties of recycled aggregate concrete showed a decrease in quality, with respect to mechanical performance of newly made concrete. The recycled concrete aggregate from precast rejects performed equal to natural concrete and even showed slightly higher compressive strength than natural aggregate concrete and can be replaced up to 20% of natural aggregate, to produce the concrete of accepted quality. The third generation recycled concrete aggregate showed almost twice the amount of mortar as that of fi rst generation re-cycled concrete aggregate. It can be seen that the concrete can be recycled only a fi nite number of times. A relationship between strength and durability properties of recycled aggregate concrete of different generations was derived based on multi-linear regres-sion analysis.

The aim of the research was to explain how the addition of graphene oxide [GO] to concrete influences performance parameters such as compressive, tensile, and flexural strength, air permeability, sorptivity, absorbability, frost resistance, and thermal conductivity. It was found that the addition of GO in most cases decreased the compressive strength. Nevertheless, an improvement of selected parameters has been observed, eg, an increase in flexural strength by 7% and a split tensile strength by 6% for concrete with GO in the content of 0.005%. Concrete mixes with higher fluidity and improvement of homogenization procedures are suggested for future research areas.
