Exploring alternative aggregates or recycled aggregates to substitute traditional concrete aggregates, particularly sand aggregates, which are becoming more limited and must comply with environmental protection standards, is essential. Research has explored various alternative materials to sand in concrete, including concrete from demolished buildings, and broken glass from projects, among others. Investigating the use of recycled broken glass to substitute sand aggregates and implementing this research in compression columns is crucial. This paper examines the compressive behavior of reinforced concrete columns that utilize recycled glass particles as a substitute for sand in concrete. The research findings establish the relationships: load and vertical displacement, load and deformation at the column head, mid-column, and column base; the formation and propagation of cracks in the column, while considering factors such as the percentage of recycled glass, the arrangement of stirrups, and the amount of load-bearing steel influencing the performance of square reinforced concrete columns under compression. The feasibility of using recycled glass as a substitute for sand in column structures subjected to compression has been demonstrated, with the ideal replacement content for sand aggregate in reinforced concrete columns in this study ranging from 0% to 10%. The column’s load-bearing ability dropped from 250 kN to 150 kN when 100% recycled glass was used instead of sand. This is a 40% drop, and cracks started to show up sooner. The research will support recycling broken glass instead of using sand in building, improving the environment and reducing natural sand use.

The incidence of edges on vertices is a cornerstone of graph theory, with profound implications for various graph properties and applications. Understanding degree distributions and their implications is crucial for analyzing and modeling real-world networks. This study investigates the impact of vertex degree distribution on the energy landscape of graphs in network theory. By analyzing how vertex connectivity influences graph energy, the research enhances the understanding of network structure and dynamics. It establishes important properties and sharp bounds related to degree spectra and degree energy. Furthermore, the study determines the degree spectra and degree energy for several key families of graphs, providing valuable insights with potential applications across various fields.

Wastewater pollution from domestic, industrial, and agricultural sources threatens the environment and human health. Traditional wastewater treatment methods are energy intensive, generate significant sludge, and may not remove all contaminants. This study explores the use of microalgae, Chlorella sorokinianana, to treat wastewater and evaluates its impact on concrete properties. The research aims to optimize microalgae growth conditions, set up nutrient-rich growth chambers, develop biomass separation methods, and assess the effects of microalgae-treated wastewater on concrete. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze concrete structures produced with microalgae-treated wastewater, freshwater, and sewage treatment plant (STP) water. Concrete from microalgae-treated wastewater exhibited euhedral crystals with pronounced gaps, while freshwater concrete had denser subhedral to anhedral crystals. STP water concrete consistently had lower strength values, possibly due to impurities affecting cement hydration. Microalgae-treated water concrete showed intermediate strength levels, suggesting organic or biological factors may influence hydration, but it still gained strength with time. This study underscores the potential of microalgae-treated wastewater for sustainable concrete production, highlighting the importance of further research to optimize conditions and promote environmentally friendly construction practices.

The interfaces between masonry infill and reinforced concrete (MI-RC) frames are identified as the weakest regions under lateral loads. Hence, the behavior of such frames under lateral loads can be understood mainly through experimental investigations. The deformation demands induced by horizontal loads on RC frames with infill masonry walls change due to contact losses between the infill masonry and the RC frames. This can be controlled by providing proper reinforcements at the interfaces. In the present experimental investigation, three half-scaled models subjected to reversed cyclic lateral in-plane loads were tested. In detail, the specimens considered are the MI-RC frame model, an MI-RC frame with geo-fabric reinforcement at the interface and an MI-RC frame with geo-fabric reinforcement at interfaces with an open ground story. The models were subjected to reversed cyclic lateral in-plane loads, and the post-yield responses of the models with respect to stiffness degradation, drift, energy dissipation, ductility and failure mode have been discussed.
