“…6 show that the strength at 28 days of all concretes containing residues exceeded that of PC formulation by at least 3%. These results are similar to those reported in the literature [25,30] and almost 50% greater than that obtained in [28]. The strength of LCR T5 and T6 at 28 days exceeded all others by at least 20%.…”

“…All concrete samples produced had density less than 1700 kg/m³. This value is 10% lower than reported elsewhere [25,27,28] and 1850 kg/m³, which is the density that ACI 213-87R [24] recommends for lightweight concrete, and at least 20% lower than those reported for lightweight concrete [26,30]. The low density of concretes is due to the replacement of normal coarse aggregates of density around 2600 kg/m³ by EC0500 and EC1506 with densities of 1230 and 930 kg/m³, respectively.…”

Formulation and characterization of structural lightweight concrete containing residues of porcelain tile polishing, tire rubber and limestone

The recent increase in the construction industry has transformed concrete into an ideal choice to recycle a number of residues formerly discarded into the environment. Among various products, porcelain tile polishing, limestone and tire rubber residues are potential candidates to replace the fine aggregate of conventional mixtures. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of varying contents of these residues in lightweight concrete where expanded clay replaced gravel. To that end, slump, compressive strength, density, void ratio, porosity and absorption tests were carried out. The densities of all concrete formulations studied were 10% lower to that of lightweight concrete (<1.850 kg/m³). Nevertheless, mixes containing 10 to 15% of combined residues reduced absorption, void ratio and porosity, at least 17% lower compared to conventional concrete. The strength of such formulations reached 27 MPa at 28 days with consistency of 9 to 12 cm, indicating adequate consistency and increased strength. In addition, the combination of low porosity, absorption and voids suggested improved durability.

“…Microstructural analysis of RuC revealed higher porosity in the matrix at the rubber-cement paste ITZ, as well as a larger ITZ, when compared to conventional concrete [37,38]. In fact, the ITZ between rubber aggregates and cement paste increased from 6.65 m to 13.44 m at 10% and 50% sand volume replacement, respectively [38].…”

“…However, w/b was often varied with rubber content [38], which could Aiello and Leuzzi [17] Aliabdo et al [32] Batayneh et al [25] Bing and Ning(w/b=0.4) [33] Bing and Ning(w/b=0.6) [33] Correia et al [34] Flores-Medina et al [35] Ling [36] 3 possibly affect the hydration kinetics, mix porosity and ITZ density and width. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images have shown a lack of bonding (gap) between the rubber and cement paste at their ITZ, as well as limited hydration products surrounding the rubber particles [37][38][39]. Conversely, other studies show that rubber bonds well to the cement matrix [30,40].…”

“…Concrete is one of the most commonly used construction material in India because of its high compressive strength, long service life, and low cost [13,14]. Concrete requires 3 essential ingredients -cement (the binder), aggregates (ranging in size from fine to coarse) and water [15, 3 16].…”

Plastic waste is a silent threat to the environment, and their disposal is a serious issue. To sort out this issue, many efforts were made to reuse the plastic waste, but no significant results were achieved. On the contrary, concrete being the widely used construction material is facing problem due to unavailability of ingredient material (sand and coarse aggregate). In this study PET (polyethylene terephthalate) aggregates manufactured from the waste un-washed PET bottles in shredded form were used to partially replace fine aggregate and coarse aggregate in concrete in various percentages (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%). Various tests like workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, water permeability, abrasion resistance, dynamic and static modulus of elasticity were performed. The micro-structural analysis of the specimens was carried out using an optical microscope. It was found that the workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, dynamic and static modulus of elasticity decreased with the increasing amount of PET waste in concrete. Water permeability of concrete was found to increase with increasing amount of PET waste. In both the cases, i.e., when fine and coarse aggregates were replaced with PET waste, an improvement in the abrasion resistance of concrete was found.
