Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a well-known type of concrete, which has been employed in different structural applications due to providing desirable properties. Different studies have been performed to obtain a sustainable mix design and enhance the fresh properties of SCC. In this study, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) algorithm is developed to predict the
Characteristics of sustainable high strength concrete
Dierent proportions of eco-friendly materials were used to produce SHSC, achieving 102.1 MPa. The eect of RHA, SF and BFSP as eco-friendly materials on the fresh and mechanical properties of SHSC is studied. Experimental program In this experimental program, were studied the eects of RHA, SF and BFSP on fresh and hardened concrete proper - ties.
A step towards sustainable glass fiber reinforced concrete
In the present research, Conplast SP 430 superplasticizer was used. It is included commonly in the scope of 0.6% to 1.3% by cement weight. The utilization of a superplasticizer makes pumpable...
- Can superplasticizers be used in concrete engineering?
- To further examine the application of the technically optimized superplasticizers in concrete engineering, production of the solid-state superplasticizer was carried out on different scales by applying the superplasticizers in the construction of a railway passenger dedicated line (PDL) that runs from Zhengzhou city to Xuzhou city in China.
- Is solid-state polycarboxylate superplasticizer better than liquid-state PCE?
- Herein a novel solid-state polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) with low energy-consumption was designed and synthesized. In industrial application, solid-state PCE has exhibited better cement paste fluidity and concrete slump compared to liquid-state PCE.
- What is polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE)?
- 1. Introduction Polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE), when applied in cement-based materials such as cement paste, mortar and concrete, can significantly improve the workability, strength and durability of the material ( Zheng et al., 2019) by dispersing agglomerated cement particles ( Zhang et al., 2020 ).
- Can a solid-state superplasticizer improve slump retention in concrete?
- Replacing the superplasticizer to the solid-state superplasticizers, synthesized in this study, resulted in an improved slump retention in the concrete. This effect can be observed for each solid-state superplasticizer on each different scale of production ( Fig. 3 (e)) and, importantly, allows meeting the requirements of concrete engineering.
- Does a PCE superplasticizer deteriorate GWP based on low carbon binders?
- This calculation suggests that even for a worst-case scenario where a PCE dosage of 2.5 % by weight of concrete is applied, the PCE superplasticizer does not deteriorate the favorable GWP of concretes based on low carbon binders.
- Do superplasticizer products impact the environment?
- However, few systematic reports have been made detailing the environmental impacts of superplasticizer products (including the synthesis, packaging, and transportation, among others) with LCA methodology. This research aims to fill this gap.
