Waste Foundry Sand in Concrete Production Instead of Natural River Sand: A Review

[EN] The by-product of the foundry industry is waste foundry sand (WFS). The use of WFS in building materials will safeguard the ecosystem and environmental assets while also durable construction. The use of industrial waste in concrete offsets a shortage of environmental sources, solves the waste dumping trouble and provides another method of protecting the environment. Several researchers have investigated the suitability of WFS in concrete production instead of natural river sand in the last few decades to discover a way out of the trouble of WFS in the foundry region and accomplish its recycling in concrete production. However, a lack of knowledge about the progress of WFS in concrete production is observed and compressive review is required. The current paper examines several properties, such as the physical and chemical composition of WFS, fresh properties, mechanical and durability performance of concrete with partially substituting WFS. The findings from various studies show that replacing WFS up to 30% enhanced the durability and mechanical strength of concrete to some extent, but at the same time reduced the workability of fresh concrete as the replacement level of WFS increased. In addition, this review recommended pozzolanic material or fibre reinforcement in combination with WFS for future research.SIThe research is partially funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation under the strategic academic leadership program ‘Priority 2030′ (Agreement 075-15-2021-1333 dated 30 September 2021)

The effect of POFA-gypsum binary mixture replacement on the performance of mechanical and microstructural properties enhancements of clays

Soft clay is categorized as problematic due to its weak and dispersive properties which requires stabilization. In Malaysia, there is another challenge, the increment of palm oil waste productions to meet the global demand for food oil. These two concerns motivate engineers to develop novel strategies for exploiting palm oil waste in soil stabilization. Utilizing POFA as a soil stabilizing agent is an economical and sustainable option due to that POFA contains high pozzolanic characteristics which make it more suitable and reliable to treat soft soil. This study uses the replacement portion of the soil with stabilizing agents -POFA and Gypsum; aiming to achieve Malaysia green technology goals by the balance of the economic expansion and environmental privilege. However, the aim of this study is to determine the effect of POFA-gypsum binary mixture replacement on the performance of mechanical and microstructural properties en-hancements of clays. Kaolin S300 is the control sample whereas POFA and gypsum are the used binders. The mechanical properties and shear strength with the curing period were tested. Results showed that treated clay marked increment of optimum water contents and reduction of maximum dry densities, a clear 200% of enhancement of treated clay’s compressive and shear strength with curing period as well as the amount of stabilizing agent to less than 15% of POFA and 6% of POFA. It is also found that as gypsum contains a high amount of lime (CaO), the results illustrate that strength raises significantly even with less curing time due to its high reactivity compared to silica and alu-mina. Overall, the results show an enhancement of mechanical and shear strength properties of treated kaolin supported by microstructural SEM imaging

Concrete with Partial Substitution of Waste Glass and Recycled Concrete Aggregate

[EN] The current practice of concrete is thought to be unsuitable because it consumes large amounts of cement, sand, and aggregate, which causes depletion of natural resources. In this study, a step towards sustainable concrete was made by utilizing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a coarse aggregate. However, researchers show that RCA causes a decrease in the performance of concrete due to porous nature. In this study, waste glass (WG) was used as a filler material that filled the voids between RCA to offset its negative impact on concrete performance. The substitution ratio of WG was 10, 20, or 30% by weight of cement, and RCA was 20, 40, and 60% by weight of coarse aggregate. The slump cone test was used to assess the fresh property, while compressive, split tensile, and punching strength were used to assess the mechanical performance. Test results indicated that the workability of concrete decreased with substitution of WG and RCA while mechanical performance improved up to a certain limit and then decreased due to lack of workability. Furthermore, a statical tool response surface methodology was used to predict various strength properties and optimization of RCA and WG.SIThis research is partially funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation under the strategic academic leadership program “Priority 2030” (Agreement 075-15-2021-1333 dated 30 September 2021)

Performance of steel-bolt-connected industrialized building system frame subjected to hydrodynamic force

People need durable shelters for living safely due to devastation caused by flooding in some areas, and it is not easy to mitigate the frequency and intensity of the flooding. Therefore, in this research, an industrialized building system (IBS) has been proposed as one of the best solutions. However, most of the existing IBSs were not designed and tested for resisting a sudden horizontal impact. Furthermore, the joints of some IBSs would likely be vulnerable to failure when subjected to a horizontal impact. There is a need to develop a bolt-connected IBS that is able to withstand a horizontal impact load. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the performance of steel-bolt-connected IBS frames subjected to the sudden impact of hydrodynamic force. Autodesk computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation was used for optimizing the laboratory experiment. A 1:5-scale IBS frame was designed and tested for the dam-break test using 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m reservoir water levels. The results showed that the bolt connections were very effective and robust in the IBS frame. They also restricted damages from spreading to other structural components due to energy dissipation. The main findings of this study are crucial to improving the current IBS method of construction

Wave Theory of Seismic Resistance of Underground Pipelines

The object of the research is an underground straight horizontal pipeline subjected to seismic impact. The research method was analytical. The results were compared with the experimental results of other authors and computer calculations. It was shown that the main disadvantage of the dynamic theory of seismic resistance of underground pipelines is the neglect of the dynamic stress state in soil under seismic wave propagation. The next drawback of the dynamic theory is an inaccurate, approximate accounting for the displacement of the soil medium to which the underground pipeline is embedded. The complete interaction process includes the stages of nonlinear changes in the interaction force (the friction force) by manifesting its peak value and the Coulomb friction. The contact layer of soil undergoes shear deformations until complete structural destruction of the soil contact layer. The interaction force is the friction force, and its peak value does not appear. The seismic resistance of underground pipelines should be considered based on the theory of propagating seismic waves in a soil medium and the interaction of seismic waves with underground pipelines, i.e., based on the wave theory of seismic resistance of underground pipelines. A one-dimensional coupled problem of seismic resistance of underground pipelines under seismic impacts was posed based on the wave theory. An algorithm and a program for the numerical solution of the stated wave problems were developed using the method of characteristics and the method of finite differences. An analysis of the laws of interaction of underground pipelines with soil under seismic influences shows that it is necessary to use in the calculations the laws of interaction that account for the complete interaction processes observed in experiments. The analysis of the obtained numerical solutions and the posed coupled problems of the wave theory of seismic resistance of underground pipelines show the occurrence mechanisms of longitudinal stresses in underground pipelines under seismic influences. The results of calculations stated that an account for the dynamic stress normal to the underground pipeline’s outer surface leads to multiple increases in longitudinal stress in the underground pipeline. This multiple increase is due to the transformation of the interaction force into an active frictional force, resulting from a greater strain in soil than the one in the underground pipeline. Based on the analysis results, a theory of the seismic wave propagation process in an underground pipeline and surrounding soil was proposed
