“…According to this case, sustainable and greener production of construction technologies and eco-friendly evaluation of industrial by-products are current issues [ 35 ]. There have been lots of studies about the usage of industrial by-products as a replacement material against cement for the production of SCC [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. This study is focused on the fine aggregate replacement effect on the fresh and hardened properties of SCC mixtures.…”

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a special, highly fluid type of concrete that is produced using chemical additives. It is easier to pour and reduces defects arising from workability. Waste marble dust is generated during the production of marble using different methods, or during the cutting of marble in processing plants; however, the uncontrolled disposal of waste marble dust in nature is associated with some environmental problems. Cement and concrete technology is a field with potential for the utilization of these large amounts of waste. The present study explores the use of marble dust (MD) (an industrial waste generated in abundance around the province of Bilecik) and granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) (another industrial waste product) in the production of SCC. In this study, MD and GBFS are used as fine materials in SCC mixtures, and the rheological and workability properties and other hardened concrete properties of the produced SCC specimens are tested. Additional tests are conducted to identify the durability of the specimens to sulfate attack, as well as their freeze–thaw and abrasion resistance, followed by microstructure tests to identify the effects of MD and GBFS on bond structure. The late-age performances of MD and GBFS were then examined based on the results of the durability tests. The presented results revealed improvements in the fresh and hardened properties of SCC produced using MD and GBFS.

Flexural strength of concrete is an important property, especially for pavements. Concrete with higher flexural strength has fewer cracking and durability issues. Researchers use different materials, including fibers, polymers, and admixtures, to increase the flexural strength of concrete. silicon carbide and tungsten carbide are some of the hardest materials on earth. In this research, the mechanical properties of carbide concrete composites were investigated. The silicon carbide and tungsten carbide at different percentages (1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%) by weight of cement along with hybrid silicon carbide and tungsten carbide (2% and 4%) were used to produce eleven mixes of concrete composites. The mechanical tests, including a compressive strength test and flexural strength test, along with the rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT), were conducted. It was concluded that mechanical properties were enhanced by increasing the percentages of both individual and hybrid carbides. The compressive strength was increased by 17% using 4% tungsten carbide, while flexural strength was increased by 39% at 4% tungsten carbide. The significant effect of carbides on flexural strength was also corroborated by ANOVA analysis. The improvement in flexural strength makes both carbides desirable for use in concrete pavement. Additionally, the permeability, the leading cause of durability issues, was reduced considerably by using tungsten carbide. It was concluded that both carbides provide promising results by enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete and are compatible with concrete to produce composites.

“…The increase in weight reduction due to H 2 SO 4 and MgSO 4 CR immersion can be traced to the increased voids initiated by the CR in the cement pattern due to air entrainment during mixing. These voids in the strong cement pattern expand easily in the acidic environment causing deterioration of the cement paste and higher weight reduction [44].…”

“…Additionally, the decrease in salt resistance due to CR was due to the high pores in the hardened cement matrix resulting from the air entrapped on the surface of the CR during mixing. This increased the internal pressure on the cement matrix by the sulfate-related growth crystals, causing internal cracks and hence deterioration of the cement paste [44,45]. Furthermore, a large amount of crystals produced in the pores of the matrix by the salt solution causes large crystallization pressure causing deterioration of the cementitious matrix [46].…”

The world is now focusing on a sustainable environment and reducing the effects of global warming. One way to achieve such targets is to properly utilize waste and reduce greenhouse CO2 emissions. The cement industry is responsible for almost 10% of global CO2 emission due to the high demand for cement in the construction industry. One of the ways to minimize this effect is the partial replacement of cement by other materials in concrete. Therefore, in this study, calcium carbide residue (CCR), which is highly rich in calcium oxide, partially replaced cement for waste management. Waste tires were grinded to fine sizes in crumb rubber (CR) and partially replaced the fine aggregate. Therefore, this paper investigared the influence of CR and CCR on the durability properties and heat/temperature resistance of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The experiment was designed using response surface methodology to investigate the effects of CR and CCR on SCC properties, design models for properties of the SCC, and optimize the mixes to achieve the best results. The properties considered were the durability of acid attack resistance (H2SO4 attack), salt attack resistance (MgSO4 attack), and water absorption. The heat resistance considered was weight reduction and residual compressive strength after heating the samples at a 200 °C and 400 °C. The results findings showed that CR and CCR negatively affect the acid and salt resistance of the SCC. Furthermore, CR negatively affects the heat resistance of the SCC, while CCR slightly improved it at 200 °C. The models developed using RSM were significant with high degrees of correlation and predictability. The optimum properties achieved 2.9% CR as a fine aggregate replacement and 5.5% CCR as a cement replacement. The developed models can predict the durability performance of SCC mixes in terms of acid and salt attack resistance and the effects of elevated temperatures using CR, CCR, and fly ash as the variables. This will reduce the need for carrying out experimental work, thereby reducing cost and time.
