Cyclic Loading Over “Stress Behaviour of High Strength Fibre (Steel and Glass) Reinforced Concrete
Abstract: Construction spectrum is growing as it has never been before; there is always something under new construction. It is thus very much important to use updated materials in construction to improve usability, workability and durability, along with the increase in characteristic strengths of material with respect to high rise structures specially. Concrete is one such material obtained from mixing of various materials. Concrete is good at compressive strength but shows …

Re-characterizing of Asphalt Concrete Mix Design Properties Blended with Waste Engine Oil Fractions for Heavy Traffic. (Case Study; Stability and Density)
Abstract: Waste and rising cost of importing admixtures during construction have influenced research into better ways of recycling local waste and reduce cost of importation of admixtures. Waste Engine Oil are checked as non-bituminous and can be incorporated into asphalt concrete mix design. Different researches have shown that some waste/by-products can be included as additive in hot-blend black-top cement to acquire specific beneficial properties. It is on this basis that this …

Study the Corrosive Effect of Greenhouse Gases on Metallic and Non-metallic Materials
Abstract: Carbon dioxide is a major corrosive pollutant for building materials. It enters inside materials by diffusion or osmosis process and in presence of moisture it produces H2CO3 which decrease the pH value and accelerates chemical and electrochemical reaction with building materials. The carbonation reaction produces deterioration inside and outside of building materials. It produces corrosion reaction with metallic bar and disbanding with concrete. CO2 reacts with Ca (OH)2 and Mg(OH)2 …

Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Coconut Shell
Abstract: In such a structure, we are studying coconut shell which is a good replacement. It is a concrete or coconut shell that we will study on. We put the coconut shell on the replacement of cement, because coconut shell is very light weight. so instead of concrete we will use it, and in a way, using concrete. It is a non-renewable natural stone aggregate which proves to be very convenient …

Comparative Study of the Nature of Slag in the Formulation of Concrete Pavers
Abstract: The steel mill generates about 8000 tons/year of slag by transforming scrap metal to produce more than 60000 tons/year of wire rod and steel reinforcing bars. These co-products are stored or used for backfill. With this almost inexhaustible slag deposit, Morocco has a valuable resource thanks to its high content of silicates, lime and metal oxides. This has led to the attempt to valorize it in the manufacture of paving …

Study on Electrical Resistivity of Metakaolin Concrete
Abstract: The present work studies the electrical resistivity of metakaolin concrete containing metakaolin at water–binder ratios 0.58, 0.55, 0.50 and 0.45. Cement was replaced with 0%–15% MK. The optimum replacement level was found 10%. Testing included measurement of electrical resistivity (ER), compressive strength and flexural strength (DT); rebound hammer; and ultrasonic pulse velocity test. ER increases with MK content, age and reduction in W/b ratio. The interrelation between ER and compressive …
