“…The results indicate that the workability of the concrete specimens increased with the percentage of iron filings in the concrete mixture. Similar conclusions were drawn in previous studies [20][21][22]. The percentage of 10,0 % iron filings significantly increased by 33,3 % compared to the reference mixture, whereas 20,0 % and 30,0 % yielded slump increases of 45,0 % and 58,3 %, respectively, compared to the reference mixture Figure 3.…”

This study examined the influence of partial sand replacement with iron filings on the mechanical and physical characteristics of concrete, as well as conducted experimental tests of the shear behaviour of reinforced-concrete beams. Four replacement rates were used in this study, i.e., 5 %, 10 %, 20 %, and 30 % with a reference mixture containing no iron filings. At ages 7, 14, and 28 days, mechanical property tests (slump, density, ultrasonic pulse velocity, compressive strength, and splitting strength tests) were conducted. In addition, the shear behaviour of five reinforced-concrete beams with the same replacement rates (0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 20 %, and 30 %) were experimentally tested. Tests were conducted to determine the ultimate load failure, final deflection, energy absorption, stiffness, ductility index, compressive stress, and crack formations. According to the results, the correlation between the slump test and iron filings is positive; however, that for absorption is negative. With a higher percentage of iron-filing replacement, the density and ultrasonic pulse velocity increased. For specimens with 30,00 % iron filings, the densities, pulse velocities, and slumps were raised by 6,27 %, 2,44 %, and 58,33 %, respectively, compared to the reference specimens, whereas the absorption rate decreased by 20,00 %. Having 20,00 % iron filings produced the maximum compressive and splitting strengths of 28,00 %, which was 4,60 % higher than the reference mixture, whereas 30,00 % iron filings produced the highest flexural strength, which was 9,50 % higher than the reference mix. The findings of beam testing revealed that increasing the iron-filing content in concrete beams increased the final failure load, final deflection, ductility index, and energy absorption by 6,70 %, 10,29 %, 11,30 %, and 35,00 %, respectively. The initial and secant stiffnesses decreased at rates of 12,60 % and 3,10 %, respectively.

“…This is mostly due to the fact that water is a universal solvent that can dissolve a wide variety of compounds. This is a beautiful property that we utilize for routine activities like cooking, cleaning, and taking medications, but it is also the property that makes water so easily contaminated (Familusi et al, 2021).…”

This research aimed to determine the lived experiences of the parents in Barangay Cagangohan, Panabo City, Davao del Norte, Philippines related to water pollution. The participants were selected through purposive sampling by choosing six respondents. The phenomenological research approach was employed in this study to get their views from their experiences, some of their alternative solutions, and the insights they have gained in facing the problem. Further conclusions can be drawn from the findings about how parents are able to find alternative ways to maintain the health of their families despite the lack of clean water in the community. This result may be used by the government, educators, parents, students, and future researchers as a foundation for offering suggestions and solutions for mitigating the problem of a lack of water sources in the community.
