“…INTRODUCTION This study aims to develop previous experimental research which can be found in [1]. Organic cement is the latest alternative to Portland cement and is made through organic waste recycling and Mediterranean soil substitution of Portland cement [2].…”
Organic cement is an environmentally friendly alternative to Portland cement which is acquired by recycled organic waste and Mediterranean soil. Waste management is a global problem. The physical characteristic test results of the organic cement show that the weight test of fresh organic concrete is 2081kg/m³ and the dry weight of concrete is 2032kg/m³ which are smaller than Portland cement concrete's which are 2525kg/m³ and 2405 kg/m³ respectively. The fineness of alternative cement grains that passed the 200 mesh sieve is 56%, which is more than Portland cement's which is 52%. The solid weight of alternative cement is 1200kg/m3 whereas the solid weight of Portland cement is 1250kg/m3.

“…A wide range of materials has been studied by scholars from different parts of the world. Among these studies and researches, agro-waste like rice husk [9,21] and its ash [18], bagasse [21], oil palm shell [22], corn [10], oyster shell [9], ground coffee waste [23], coconut shell [24] and plant ashes [25] and industrial waste like wood ash [26], treated waste foundry sand [12], wood fibre [27], biomass boiler ash and green liquor dregs from paper from waste paper industry [28] are investigated. Fibres material is mostly used to replace parts of the aggregates in the concrete while most of the ashes were used to replace cement in the mixture.…”
“…Even though the wide range of waste materials have been studied, the use of municipal waste in the fabrication of concrete has yet to be further investigated. It has been partially explored by Syarif et al [21] but only as a component of the "recycling organic waste" which is treated by burning to a temperature of 1450 °C before it is ready for mixing as part of concrete.…”
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is a worldwide problem growing with the increase of global human population. The practice of incinerating garbage has ceased in some parts of the world because of air contamination and other public health issues. Environmental impact of landfilling is ever increasing. There is clearly a need to adopt cost-effective alternatives to treat MSW. This paper is a part of a major work that considers MSW based biomass as a partial replacement of sand in concrete. The product of the global work is an exciting and eco-friendly alternative for the building industry, especially concrete intended for certain types of applications in the construction industry such as temporary works. Here, in this paper, an overview of the state of the art on the topic is presented.
“…e compressive strength of organic samples was about 1/3 of normal samples. But this ratio was 1/2 in the tensile test [27]. e used cement in this study is type II Portland cement that is provided from Bandar Abbas.…”
In this study, the compressive strength of the concretes made by the pipeline water of Larestan has been investigated. Although the used water for the concretes must be clean, standard, and generally drinkable water, in Larestan city, the pipeline water is nonpotable water; meanwhile, this type of water is still being used in the mixture of the concretes by companies and contractors. Since in the initial tests the compressive strength of the normal samples did not satisfy the standards, 50% of granite aggregate was replaced with the purpose of increasing strength of the samples. en four types of samples were made, which are (1) normal concrete with pipeline water, (2) normal concrete with potable water, (3) granite concrete with pipeline water, and (4) granite concrete with potable water. e results showed that the compressive strength of normal samples is not standard in the case of using the pipeline water. is issue can be seen during the first four weeks of the samples, whereas these samples are placed in the standard zone by replacing 50% of granite aggregate instead of normal aggregates. is may be attributed to the compensating effect of granite aggregates in opposition to damaging effect of water. Also, by using the granite aggregates in the mixture, the compressive strengths of the samples were standard and almost identical in both cases of pipeline water and tap water. As a result, the concretes made in this city must include additives for increasing the strength, or the tap water should be used as a replacement for pipeline water.
