This paper describes the experimental investigation carried out to develop the geopolymer concrete based on alkali-activated rice husk ash (RHA) by sodium hydroxide with sodium silicate. Effect on method of curing and concentration of NaOH on compressive strength as well as the optimum mix proportion of geopolymer mortar was investigated. It is possible to achieve compressive strengths of 31 N/...

A new kind of retarding polycarboxylate superplasticizer (M20S80) was prepared through the modification of black liquor and polycarboxylate superplasticizer (S) through an Fe-H2O2 reaction system. The synthesis process of M20S80 was introduced. Infrared spectrum analysis (FT-IR) was used to investigate the changes in functional groups in M20S80. At the same time, a mixture of LM20S80 was made b...

The environment is threatened by the large-scale mining of natural resources like sand. Therefore, it becomes necessary for us to consider using industrial by-products instead materials in order save ecosystem. In this study utilization saw dust generated wood industry concrete has been explored. purpose making sawdust decrease waste sawdust, which could protect long run. Concrete most widely u...

Self-Compacting concrete (SCC) needs no external vibration and compacts fully under its self weight. This paper describes experimental work carried out to develop SCC and to study the effect of different sizes (i.e., 20mm; 16mm; 12.5mm and 10mm) of coarse aggregate (C.A) on the properties of SCC. Eight mixes were investigated for M30 grade concrete. The water-powder ratio was kept fixed through...

Abstract The manufacturing of cement liberates the green-house gasses into atmosphere. To overcome this problem so many alternative materials has been invented by researchers to minimize addition cement. incorporation these as cementitious material in concrete enhances attributes concrete. In scenario metakaolin gained momentum a substitution Most studied performance incorporating normal curing...

High Strength Concrete (HSC) is defined as concrete that meets special combination of performance and uniformity requirements that cannot be achieved routinely using conventional constituents and normal mixing, placing, and curing procedures. It is a highly complex material, which makes modeling its behavior a very difficult task. This paper aimed to show possible applicability of Neural Networ...

Curing early age concrete (hereinafter referred to as EAC) with CO2 a new method for capturing and storing can not only result in energy savings emission reductions, but also improve the performance of shorten curing time, which leads various application prospects. In this paper, we collect existing research results at home abroad explain reaction mechanisms CO2-cured EACC); summarize effects e...

To comply with recent international trends and initiatives, and in order to help achieve sustainable development, Korea has established a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target of 37% (851 million tons) of the business as usual (BAU) rate by 2030. Regarding environmentally-oriented standards such as the IGCC (International Green Construction Code), there are also rising demands for the ...
