Properties Evaluation of Concrete using Local Used Bricks as Coarse Aggregate

With time concrete / reinforced concrete has become the popular material for construction. Modern industry utilizes this material a lot and has produced various beautiful, eye catching and amazing structures. Due to modern requirements for living and developed construction industries, the old buildings (usually constructed with brick masonry) are demolished and are replaced with new modern buildings. Demolition of buildings results in waste materials which can create waste related problems and environmental issues. By using recycled aggregates weight of concrete can also be reduced, which can also solve problems related to self-weight of concrete. In this paper attempt has been made to use local used bricks from vicinity of Nawabshah, Pakistan, as coarse aggregate. Concrete cubes made with local recycled bricks are cast and tested for overall weight of concrete, moisture content, dynamic modulus of elasticity and compressive strength (nondestructive and destructive methods). The results showed that concrete derived from recycled aggregates attained lower strength than regular concrete. More detailed elaborated work is recommended with different mix ratios and different proportions recycled aggregates for better conclusions.

Crack Propagation and Failure Characteristics of Modeled Concrete with Natural and Brick Aggregates

The failure characteristics of recycled concrete containing brick aggregates are still indistinct,especially how the angular aggregates effect the crack propagation.Based on the concept of modeled concrete,the development of cracks in concrete containing the natural aggregate and brick aggregate under a compression loading was studied.The strain distribution was analyzed with the Digital Image Correlation(DIC).The modeled aggregates include circular and squared ones,and the squared modeled aggregates were placed in different orientations,including 0°,22.5°and 45°.The results show that when the aggregate is placed at 45°,the upper and lower vertices of the aggregate lead to the highest critical strain concentration,therefore,cracks are easy to propagate from these areas and the strength of the corresponding modeled concrete is the lowest.When the modeled natural aggregate is placed at the orientation of 0°,the strain concentration first appears at the interface on both lateral sides of the aggregate.The brick aggregate has a lower elastic modulus and strength than the surrounding mortar.As a result,cracks always propagate through the brick aggregate,which is the primary reason for the low strength of the corresponding concrete.

Application of Fractal Theory in Brick-Concrete Structural Health Monitoring

In order to monitor and forecast the deformation of the brick-concrete building, by taking a brick-concrete building as research object, fiber grating sensors were used to collect the monitoring data and double logarithmic curve of limit value characteristic and monitoring data were obtained based on the fractal theory. Constant dimension fractal method cannot be used to analyze the data directly. With the method of variable dimension fractal, we accumulate data, and the double logarithmic curve is smooth. Piecewise fractal dimensions are close. The outer interpolation method is used to calculate the fractal dimension of the next point and then back calculate the vertical displacement. The relative errors are calculated by comparing the forecast values and monitoring values, and the maximum relative error is 5.76%. The result shows that the fractal theory is suitable to use in the forecast of the deformation and the accuracy is good.

Research on the resource utilization of Baosteel steel slag as concrete material

The utilization of steel slag has been a worldwide issue for a long time. Attention is increasingly being paid to the technological innovation and development of steel slag. Aiming at the development of environmentally friendly steel slag concrete materials and their use in a recyclable economy ,Baosteel has recently been conducting research on and using many new building materials, including steel slag powder concrete, steel slag pervious concrete, steel slag counter weight concrete and so on. In this way, steel slag has been turned from a kind of solid waste into a value-added material. The technology of steel slag utilization has been enriched and developed,while a new model of using Baosteel steel slag in a recyclable economy has also been explored and practised.

Analytical study of performance evaluation for seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete building using 3D dynamic nonlinear finite element analysis

This paper presents three-dimensional finite element （FE） analyses of an all-frame model of a three-story reinforced concrete （RC） building damaged in the 1999 Taiwan Chi-Chi Earthquake. Non-structural brick walls of the building acted as a seismic resistant element although their contributions were neglected in the design. Hence, the entire structure of a typical frame was modeled and static and dynamic nonlinear analyses were conducted to evaluate the contributions of the brick walls. However, the results of the analyses were considerably overestimated due to coarse mesh discretizations, which were unavoidable due to limited computer resources. This study corrects the overestimations by modifying （1） the tensile strengths and （2） shear stiffness reduction factors of concrete and brick. The results indicate that brick walls improve frame strength although shear failures are caused in columns shortened by spandrel walls. Then, the effectiveness of three types of seismic retrofits is evaluated. The maximum drift of the first floor is reduced by 89.3%, 94.8%, and 27.5% by Steel-confined, FuI1-RC, and Full-brick models, respectively. Finally, feasibility analyses of models with soils were conducted. The analyses indicated that the soils elongate the natural period of building models although no significant differences were observed.

The test results show that: Concrete pavement brick compressive strength at 28 days with zinc slag volume increases, zinc slag admixture is 40%, 28 days compressive strength is more than 32 MPa.

Effect of Clay Fines on the Behavior of Self-Compacting Concrete

The technology of concrete has significantly increased in recent years through the use of super plasticizer and availability of mineral additions. One of the most recent materials used as an additive, replacing a portion of cement in concrete, is fine clay fired at a temperature of 800℃ to 900℃. This research is based on trials that complied with artificial pozzolan (waste crushed brick), and their effect on the rheological and mechanical behavior of mortar. The addition of 5% of a waste crushed brick has helped not only to improve the strength (tensile and compression), but also to foster a better rheological behavior in terms of fluidity and stability, with a low heat of hydration compared to control. However, tests of optimizing the content of self-compacting concrete (SCC) in coarse aggregates, sand and binder, led us to confirm that the combined mass of more optimal (better workability and stability) is that based on low in volumetric percentage of sand/paste with a granular skeleton richest gravel low dimensions (2/3 of G 3/8 and 1/3 of G 8/15).

高延性混凝土加固单层砖木结构农房振动台试验研究

为提高我国农村砌体房屋的抗震性能水平,采用高延性混凝土(HDC)条带加固的方法,设计了两个缩尺比为1∶2的砖木结构模型,对加固模型与未加固模型进行振动台同台对比试验。对比分析了地震作用下两个模型结构的加速度响应、位移响应、扭转效应和破坏形态,并对其抗震性能进行评估。试验结果表明:单层砖木结构农房的整体抗震性能较差,结构的自振频率低、位移反应较大,扭转效应明显,在8度设防地震作用下接近倒塌;经HDC条带加固的模型结构自振频率增大,位移反应相比未加固模型更小,山墙外闪现象得到明显控制,结构扭转效应的破坏作用明显减轻,在9度罕遇地震作用下HDC面层只出现轻微受损,可达到“大震可修”的性能目标。采用HDC条带加固法可有效延缓结构在强震作用下的刚度退化,增加结构的耐损伤能力,并有效提高此类砌体结构的整体抗震能力。

再生细骨料和砖粉双掺对3D打印混凝土性能的影响

为减少3D打印混凝土中天然骨料及胶凝材料的用量,本文采用再生混凝土细骨料替代部分天然细骨料,砖粉替代部分水泥,首先开展单掺再生细骨料(取代率为0、25%、50%、75%和100%)、单掺砖粉(取代率为0、5%、10%、15%、20%和30%)和两者双掺的现浇混凝土的流动性和抗压强度试验,以获得再生细骨料和砖粉的适宜取代率;然后探究50%再生细骨料和10%砖粉双掺及配合比调整方式(附加水、提高减水剂用量)对3D打印混凝土拌合物性能及硬化后力学性能的影响。试验结果表明,当再生细骨料的掺量不超过50%时,现浇混凝土抗压强度降低幅度在10%以内;随着砖粉掺量从0增加到30%,现浇混凝土抗压强度总体呈现先增后减、再稍有增加的趋势,当砖粉掺量为10%时,混凝土抗压强度最高;相比于单掺50%再生细骨料的混凝土,50%再生细骨料和10%砖粉双掺时混凝土强度有所增加,而流动性基本不变。对于3D打印混凝土,同时掺入50%再生细骨料和10%砖粉,并采用添加附加水的方式保持3D打印混凝土初始扩展度不变,会使得混凝土的可建造性提高,但坍落度、开放时间、抗压和劈裂抗拉强度降低,强度各向异性加剧;而提高减水剂用量不仅能显著提升3D打印混凝土的流动性能、开放时间和抗压强度,还能降低打印试件的强度各向异性。

木丝水泥填充墙-RC框架抗震性能试验研究

为研究木丝水泥填充墙-钢筋混凝土(RC)框架的抗震性能和破坏机理,共制作五个试件进行低周反复试验,其中一个试件为普通砖填充墙-RC框架对比试件,两个试件为开窗洞的木丝水泥填充墙-RC框架,另外两个试件为添加玻璃纤维网格布的木丝水泥填充墙-RC框架,并分析试件的滞回曲线、骨架曲线、延性系数、耗能情况与刚度退化等指标。试验结果表明,木丝水泥填充墙-RC框架的抗震性能良好,刚度退化速度远小于普通砖填充墙-RC框架,耗能能力在试件开裂后超过普通砖填充墙-RC框架;在木丝水泥填充墙-RC框架上开窗洞后会削弱其承载力,但破坏时裂缝只是沿四个窗角分别向四个填充墙角扩展,最终形成“X”形裂缝,而木丝水泥填充墙-RC框架与混凝土之间的粘结面未被破坏,在木丝水泥填充墙-RC框架表面加入玻璃纤维网格布后可以减少墙面裂纹的产生,且提高了极限承载力和延性系数,并抑制了刚度的快速下降。
