Effect of Partial Replacement of Fly Ash by Decoration Waste Powder on the Fresh and Mechanical Properties of Geopolymer Masonry Mortar

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using decoration waste powder(DWP)as a partial replacement for fly ash(FA)in the preparation of geopolymer masonry mortar,and to examine the effect of different DWP replacement rates(0%-40%)on the fresh and mechanical properties of the mortar.The results showed that each group of geopolymer masonry mortar exhibited excellent water retention performance,with a water retention rate of 100%,which was due to the unique geopolymer mortar system and high viscosity of the alkaline activator solution.Compared to the control group,the flowability of the mortar containing lower contents of DWP(10%and 20%)was higher.However,as the DWP replacement rate further increased,the flowability gradually decreased.The DWP could absorb the free water in the reaction system of geopolymer mortar,thereby limiting the occurrence of geopolymerization reaction.The incorporation of DWP in the mortar resulted in a decrease in compressive strength compared to the mortar without DWP.However,even at a replacement rate of 40%,the compressive strength of the mortar still exceeded 15 MPa,which met the requirements of the masonry mortar.It was feasible to use DWP in the geopolymer masonry mortar.Although the addition of DWP caused some performance loss,it did not affect its usability.

Experimental study on the seismic performance of masonry wall reinforced by cement mortar and polypropylene band

Since masonry structures are prone to collapse in earthquakes,a novel joint reinforcement method with a polypropylene band(PP-band)and cement mortar(CM)has been put forward.Compared with the common reinforcement methods,this method not only facilitates construction but also ensures lower reinforcement cost.To systematically explore the influence of joint reinforcement on the seismic performance of masonry walls,quasi-static tests were carried out on six specimens with different reinforcement forms.The test results show that the joint action of PP-band and CM can significantly improve the specimen′s brittle failure characteristics and enhance the integrity of the specimen after cracking.Compared with the specimen without reinforcement,each of the seismic performance indexes of the joint reinforced specimen had obvious improvement.The maximum increased rate about peak load and ductility of the joint reinforced specimen is 100.6%and 233.4%,respectively.

Bond-slip constitutive relationship between bars and mortar for block masonry

Ten specimens were tested in this paper in order to study the bond behavior and the process of force transfer when bars adhered to mortar. The development of the bond stress between bars and mortar was calculated. Test results show that the maximum bond-stress is not influenced by the bar bond length and increases as the increased splitting strength of mortar for block. The local bond stress-slip curve was obtained. Then,based on the regressive analysis of test data,two bond shearing stress-slip constitutive models between bars and mortar were proposed. The models can be used in the numerical simulation or finite element analysis and provide references for the improvement of the corresponding design codes.

Numerical simulation on the seismic performance of retrofitted masonry walls based on the combined finite-discrete element method

Due to the long construction life,improper design methods,brittle material properties and poor construction techniques,most existing masonry structures do not perform well during earthquakes.The retrofitting method using an external steel-meshed mortar layer is widely used to retrofit existing masonry buildings.Assessing the seismic performance of masonry walls reinforced by an external steel-meshed mortar layer reasonably and effectively is a difficult subject in the research field of masonry structures.Based on the combined finite-discrete elements method,the numerical models of retrofitted brick walls with four different masonry mortar strengths by an external mortar layer are established.The shear strength of mortar and the contact between the retrofitted mortar layer and the brick blocks are discussed in detail.The failure patterns and load-displacement curves of the retrofitted brick walls were obtained by applying low cycle reciprocating loads to the numerical model,and the bearing capacity and the failure mechanism of the retrofitted walls were obtained by comparing the failure patterns,ultimate bearing capacity,deformability and other aspects with the tests.This study provides a basis for improving the seismic strengthening design method of masonry structures and helps to better assess the seismic performance of masonry structures after retrofitting.

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Some Mortars Prepared from Selected Jordanian Masonry Cements

In light of the highly demanding cement market in Jordan, comprehensive studies should be undertaken to investigate the properties of the different cement types. This paper studies the Dynamic modulus of elasticity (DME) at 2, 7 and 28 days in mortars using six cement Jordanian types with CaO contents less than that of the ordinary Portland cements. It was found that the DME has strong relation with compressive strength. At the age of 28 days the mortars had some different values of DME. One important result of our work is that DME at the age of 28 days can be derived from those of the two days mixes. To account for the differences in dynamic modulus of elasticity with time, it is highly recommended to study in detail the mortars petrography under the light microscope. Using the scanning electron microscope (SEM), usually with attachment for chemical analysis at the crystal scale, in addition to X-ray diffraction technique may help characterization of the cement phases qualitatively and quantitatively.

Potential Use of Crushed Ghanaian Limestone in Paste and Mortar Formulated for Masonry

Crushed Ghanaian limestone （L） powder was analysed for its physical, chemical and microstructural properties for the formulation of mortar for masonry. Ordinary Portland Cement （OPC） was replaced by 10- 40% limestone powder for paste and mortar formulation. Mechanical properties that included compressive strength, water demand and setting times （initial and final） were determined and analysed. The mechanical properties were determined in accordance with ASTM standards. The test results indicated that crushed limestone powder contained about 88.7% CaO in calcite form. A 10-30% and 35-40% limestone content in conjunction with OPC was suitable to produce ASTM type M and S mortars respectively. Formulated OPC - L paste showed a high water demand, a delayed initial setting time and an accelerated final setting time than the plain OPC paste.

Experimental Investigation of Bed Joint Reinforcement Corrosion in Masonry Mortars

The paper investigates the behaviour against corrosion offered by seven masonry mortar compositions to the reinforcement placed in masonry bed joints. Durability protection was evaluated on the basis of four criteria: carbonation area of the specimens, mass loss of steel, electrochemical potential and presence of chloride ions. Tests were performed against two corrosive environments, with and without chloride ions, and were carried out for three periods: three, six and thirty three months. Two types of steel were used, plain steel and galvanized steel. Moreover, the steel protective action of a corrosion inhibitor, sodium nitrite, was examined. A qualitative comparison approach against prototype concrete-like mortars was used. The results showed that the selected masonry mortars did not exhibit similar properties against corrosion to those of concrete and that the addition of sodium nitrite decrease of the corrosion rate only 5% - 20% did not meaningfully improve durability properties. Nevertheless, the addition of lime in small quantities did not have a negative impact on the mortars’ durability characteristics, e.g. the same average corrosion rate.

基于计算机断层扫描的浆砌石真实三维孔隙网络模型及其渗流数值模拟

为研究浆砌石渗流规律,以广东省某已运行30余年的浆砌石拱坝典型芯样为例,基于计算机断层扫描(CT)技术构建了浆砌石真实三维孔隙网络模型,并对不同孔隙结构和水压差下浆砌石的渗流特性进行模拟。结果表明,高流速的渗流路径沿着大孔隙所在位置集中,流线更加顺直平滑,而其周围的小孔隙内渗流路径则较为分散;大孔隙中流速和流量更大,大流速会冲蚀浆砌石结构从而促进联通孔隙向着微裂隙转变,小孔隙向着大孔隙转变;随着水头差增大,浆砌石最大流速和最大流量均逐渐增大,且孔隙结构越发育,增大幅度越大。

考虑砌筑砂浆劣化的老旧砌体结构抗震性能分析

北京地区现存大量建造于1980年前后的在役老旧砌体房屋,因服役时间较长,普遍存在建筑材料劣化的现象。选取砌筑砂浆作为研究对象,通过分析冻融循环劣化过程和现场砌筑砂浆实测结果,建立北京地区实际服役环境下砂浆抗压强度劣化时变模型。通过建立典型老旧砌体结构房屋有限元模型,采用层间位移角作为评价指标,对不同建造年代的砌体房屋抗震性能进行分析研究。结果表明,随着服役时间增加,该六层砌体结构整体位移响应增大,且主要发生在服役20年之后。在7度设防地震作用时,服役超过40年的砌体房屋损伤接近严重破坏状态,难以满足抗震设防要求。在峰值加速度为200gal的地震作用时,未劣化砌体结构没有达到倒塌状态,而服役50年的劣化砌体结构进入倒塌状态指标界限内,抵抗倒塌的能力下降十分显著,显示出对多年服役劣化砌体结构进行鉴定加固的急迫性。
