Despite several studies focusing on producing sustainable concrete with nonconventional materials, there are short-term and long-term lapses in behavior of some of the concretes. This study, with a main focus on durability performance, explores strength and behavior of manufactured sand concrete containing alcofine and zinc oxide in severe environmental conditions. Alcofine and zinc oxide were added to the mixture at 10% and 2% by weight of cement, respectively. Manufactured Sand was used as a partial replacement for river sand at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete were determined after standard curing regimes. Durability tests, entailing exposure of concrete to acid attack, sea water, water absorption, sulphate attack, water permeability and rapid chloride penetration, were also performed. The results show that mixture made with 50% manufactured sand 10 %Alccofine and 0.5% Zinc oxide replacement, demonstrated better durability.

By the recent global research developments, a lot of natural and artificial materials that are normally discarded and landfilled, are continually investigated for potential construction applications. In this study, the mechanical and durability properties of lightweight self-compacting concrete produced using pumice, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), rice husk ash (RHA) and precipitated silica, was investigated. A detailed experimental design was performed, which entailed reducing the water powder ratio, and use of viscosity modifying admixture, for enhancing the fresh SCC quality. The experimental process involved assessment of mechanical and durability properties of concrete mixtures. The results have shown that compressive and flexural strength of SCC made with lightweight aggregate are improved using mineral blended cement. Also, same mix, but with pumice as coarse aggregate gave higher split-tensile strength than other mixtures. This study deduced that pozzolanic reactivity and filler action of supplementary cementitious materials used, enhanced the resistance of the mixtures to deterioration when exposed to aggressive environment.

This study determined the strength properties of high-performance concrete (HPC) produced using ternary blended cement, based on Nano-silica (NS) and bagasse ash (BA) addition to Portland cement. Several mix proportions, based on random mix design, were considered based on the substitution of constituent materials. Fine aggregate was comprised of 60% river sand and 40% recycled aggregate (RA), coarse aggregate used was crushed rock for the development of M50, M60 and M70 grades of concrete. The replacement of cement by BA causes slowdown initial strength development, but increased the setting time of concrete. In order to improve the performance of HPC at early stage, NS was considered as third admixture for developing ternary binder blend in the concrete. The effect of NS and BA on fresh and hardened HPC were investigated and presented. The results indicated that the incorporation of NS reduced setting time and increased the early age strength development significantly. Thus, it was concluded that the addition of NS with mean particle size of 12 nm is suitable as an additional binder for improving the early age performance of HPC.

This research focuses on studying the effect of different pozzolanic materials (Metakaolin, fly ash, silica ash, micro clay, ordinary clay and their combinations) on strength of concrete cured for a period of time - 56 days. This work primarily deals with the compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete. First four mixes were made by adding 1-2% of pozzolanic materials in concrete. Next five mixes were made by increasing the percentage of clay and lime as a substitute of cement in concrete. A comparative study is done between experimental data and predicted data. Bountiful research works were done using soft computing tools to predict the strength characteristics of concrete, in this work we had employed Levenberg-Marquardt and Bayesian Regularization approach to predict. ANN is employed to measure the outcome performance of admixtures added while varying the curing period. Best fit models were arrived using back propagation method of ANN, R2 values were obtained in the range of 0.91 showing the effectiveness of the study. It is suggested that this proposed algorithm can be employed to predict the strength characteristics of concrete.

This study investigates the fresh properties of self-compacting concrete incorporating electric arc furnace oxidizing slag as coarse aggregate. A binary blend of 30% fly ash and cement was utilized as binder to improve the performance of concrete in its fresh state. Concrete grades M20, M30 and M40 were developed by replacing natural coarse aggregate with 50% and 100% electric arc furnace oxidizing slag (EAFOS) aggregate. Thus, fresh properties of SCC; slump flow, T500, U box, V funnel and L-box were determined. From the evaluation of fresh properties, it is shown that the grades of concretes developed passed the set standard limits for SCC. The results showed that 50% EAFOS addition to SCC will not deter its fresh properties in any way, however, when EAFOS was added up to 100%, there was reduction in workability properties of the concrete. The study showcases the significant potential of EAFOS as an alternative aggregate in SCC. Thus, the data provided in this study will be useful for concrete constructors.

Abstract The demand for lightweight materials in construction has become very popular due to its flexibility and economical importance. Cold-formed steel beams and columns are used for provision of lightweight, durable and cost-efficient structures, and its usage also helps to optimize the construction time. Cold-formed steel section exhibits post-buckling strength, in which hot rolled section is deficient. However, more theoretical background on design and behavior of cold form section is still required, especially when it is subjected to axial loading. Thus, this paper presents numerical and theoretical behavior of pin -jointed cold-formed steel (CFS) column section (built-up battened Lip channel) under axial loading. The numerical modeling was done by using ABAQUS 6.10 software. Based on American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) specifications, two types of sections were selected for single lipped channel, and it was ensured that the selected chord spacing permits both moment of inertia about the major axis and minor axis are equal. The numerical and theoretical study were done using a varying batten number and section slenderness ratio. The ultimate loads were obtained under the two approaches, for the lipped channel built-up columns, and were compared for the effective section proposed. From the results, the prediction of buckling mode and the failure load of the column were found to be stable and approximately relevant to the FEM results from slenderness ratio ranging from 20 to 60. Also, flexural buckling of all column sections occurred about the axis parallel to the webs, where there is an opportunity for composite action.
