Abstract:
To address the environmental constraints due to cement production and sand scarcity, strength properties of high-calcium fly ash (CFA)-based geopolymer concrete with quarry dust as fine aggregate is explored in this paper. River sand was replaced with quarry dust from 0 to 100% by mass. Sodium hydroxide solution with 8M and 14M concentration, alkaline liquid-to-fly ash ratios of 0.50 and 0.60, and three curing regimes—oven curing, ambient curing, and external exposure curing—were used. The results indicated that geopolymer concrete achieved comparably equal strength to that of the reference concrete mixture at a 100% quarry dust level. External exposure and ambient curing can be practiced to attain comparable strength properties of geopolymer concrete with quarry dust as fine aggregate. Experimental values of split tensile strength of geopolymer concrete with quarry dust follows good relations with various empirical equations.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study conducted to understand the behavior and stress-transfer mechanism of fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites externally bonded to a concrete substrate for strengthening applications. The FRCM composite was comprised of a polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO) fiber net embedded within two layers of polymer-modified cement-based mortar. Single-lap shear tests were conducted on specimens with composite strips bonded to concrete prisms. Parameters that varied were bonded length and width of composite. Additionally, the external coating layer of matrix was omitted on a limited number of specimens to examine the interfacial behavior between fibers and matrix and the role of the matrix in the stress transfer. Strain measurements along the composite bonded length were used to investigate the stress-transfer mechanism. Results suggest that the effective bond length of this composite is within the range of 250 to 330 mm (10 to 13 in.). Unlike with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, no width effect was observed in terms of the maximum load. Finally, the stress-transfer mechanism at the matrix-fiber interfaces on either side of the fiber net was found to be unequal.

Hydration and strength development characteristics of high-alumina cement (HAC) containing sodium sulfate and a variety of different zeolites were studied. The zeolites obtained from different sources included different types containing clinoptilolite, chabazite, stilbite, and natrolite. The one-day compressive strength of HAC mortars containing a commercially available zeolite and sodium sulfate was as high as 60 MPa. No strength reduction occurred in the HAC mortars water-cured at 38 C for 330 days. Hydrogarnet formation was significantly inhibited. Clinoptilolite or chabazite-based zeolites in combination with sodium sulfate were more effective in preventing the formation of hydrogarnet in HAC paste than stilbite or natrolite-based zeolites. Zeolite alone was not able to prevent the hydrogarnet formation in the HAC paste. Chabazite was the most effective zeolite in promoting str tlingite formation in the HAC paste.

Concrete parking lots now serve many transportation facilities, industrial plants, commercial developments, and multifamily housing projects of all sizes. They are used for storage of vehicles and goods. They provide maneuvering areas for vehicles and access for delivery and distribution vehicles. The design and construction of concrete slabs for parking lots and outside storage areas share many similarities with the design and construction of streets and highways, but they also have some very distinct differences. A full appreciation of the differences and the modification of design and construction procedures to take these differences into account can result in economical and serviceable concrete parking lots that will provide satisfactory service for many years with minimum maintenance. Guide includes information on site investigation, thickness determination, design of joints and other details, paving operations, and quality assurance procedures during construction. Maintenance and repair are also discussed.
