The common cause of cracking in cement paste is shrinkage due to different reasons, such as loss of water and chemical reactions. Incorporating limestone fines (LF) as a cement replacement can affect the shrinkage of the paste. To examine this effect, five paste mixes were prepared with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% LF as a cement replacement and with a water-to-binder ratio (w/b) of 0.45. Four volume stability tests were conducted for each paste: chemical, autogenous and drying shrinkage and expansion. Chemical shrinkage was tested each hour for the first 24 h and thereafter every 2 days for a total period of 90 days. The drying shrinkage, autogenous shrinkage and expansion were monitored every 2 days until 90 days. The results showed that replacing 15% LF enhanced the chemical shrinkage of the paste. However, autogenous shrinkage of the paste was found to increase between 0 and 10% LF and decline sharply at 15 and 20% LF. Drying shrinkage was found to increase with the increase in LF content. Expansion exhibited little variation between 0 and 10% LF and an increase for replacement above 15% LF. These results are discussed in terms of the formation of hydration products and self-desiccation due to hydration.

This study investigates the effects of two different Blaine fineness and three distinct curing conditions on the physico-mechanical properties of a geopolymer-ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) binder mortar activated through a combination of NaOH/NaS alkalis. By ensuring constant curing and mixing conditions, geopolymer mortar (GPM) specimens were prepared and evaluated to determine their capillary water sorption, capillarity coefficient, and change in unit weight, alongside their compressive strength and flexural strength 3, 7, 28, and 56 d after production. It was found that the capillary water sorption decreased by approximately 50% as the curing temperature of the water increased from ambient temperature to 22 °C. The coefficient of capillarity remained constant across the geopolymer materials, irrespective of the Blaine fineness of the GGBFS. Furthermore, the increase in the unit weight, owing to the variation in the Blaine fineness of GGBFS, results in a reduction in the water sorption properties of GPMs. The GGBFS and alkali-based binders imparted a continuous increase in the compressive and flexural strengths. The results revealed that a Blaine fineness of 6000 cm2/g in the GGBFS under water-curing conditions imparted the most significant advantageous effect on the physico-mechanical properties of a GGBFS binder mortar activated through a combination of NaOH/NaS alkalis.

Waste management is a vital environmental issue in the world today. Municipal solid wastes (MSWs) are discarded in huge quantities on a daily basis and need to be well controlled. Incineration is a common method for reducing the volume of these wastes, yet it produces ashes that require further assessment. Municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash (MSWI-BA) is the bulk byproduct of the incineration process and has the potential to be used in the construction sector. This paper offers a review of the use of MSWI-BA as aggregates in cementitious materials. With the growing demand of aggregates in cementitious materials, MSWI-BA is considered for use as a partial or full alternative. Although the physical and chemical properties of MSWI-BA are different than those of natural aggregates (NA) in terms of water absorption, density, and fineness, they can be treated by various methods to ensure suitable quality for construction purposes. These treatment methods are classified into thermal treatment, solidification and stabilization, and separation processes, where this review focuses on the techniques that reduce deficiencies limiting the use of MSWI-BA as aggregates in different ways. When replacing NA in cementitious materials, MSWI-BA causes a decrease in workability, density, and strength. Moreover, they cause an increase in water absorption, air porosity, and drying shrinkage. In general, the practicality of using MSWI-BA in cementitious materials is mainly influenced by its treatment method and the replacement level, and it is concluded that further research, especially on durability, is required before MSWI-BA can be efficiently used in the production of sustainable cementitious materials.

The incorporation of multiwalled Carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and their dispersion procedures such as the use of surfactant agents, functionalization, and ultrasonication have been intensively implemented to improve the mechanical and durability properties of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) mortar and paste. Many studies stated significant enhancements in the mechanical properties of OPC mortar or paste; however, others showed impairments. The review observed the preparation techniques for dispersion and mixing MWCNTs with dry materials such as cement and sand. The recent studies regarding the implementation of MWCNTs on the mechanical properties of OPC paste and mortar were reviewed. These properties include compressive, tensile, flexural strengths, and elastic modulus. A statistical approach was conducted to observe the effects of the MWCNTs' amendment on the mechanical properties of Portland cement paste and mortar. The results showed that there is no consistent preparation technique for the dispersion of MWCNT. The ultrasonication, used in most studies either alone or as a surfactant combination, was the most effective technique for dispersion when the sonication duration was between 20 and 45 min. The statistical mechanical property observations revealed that the majority of compressive strength enhancements were below 40% (approximately 91% of the data) regardless of the MWCNTs %. The improvement in strength below 40% was 74% of the data for tensile/flexural strength of mortar. For cement paste, 50% of the enhancements were equal to or below a 40% increase. However, some studies showed impairments in the mechanical properties of OPC composites when MWCNTs were incorporated. Most reduction in compressive strength was below 40% compared to mortar and cement with 0% MWCNTs.

Baked clay bricks (Impunyu) is the dominant wall construction material in Rwanda. Clay deposits in the country’s lowlands are utilized for baked clay bricks. Despite the ongoing campaign, the use of wood by some local brick producers is unfriendly to the environment. Recent research has called for alternative methods in order to reduce the cost and impact on the environment. Earlier efforts with compressed earth blocks were saddled with weight and a substantial use of cement for good surface texture and adequate resistance against surface erosion. This research explored the potentials of using an appropriate dose of clay (from Muhanzi), volcanic light aggregate (Amakoro, (from Musanze)), and cement to produce unbaked shelled compressed earth blocks (SCEB). SCEB is a compressed earth block with an outer shell and inner core of different cement content or materials, compressed into a unit block. The result is a masonry unit with a higher surface resistance, durability, and desirable architectural effect produced with a 60% reduction in cement content. A weight reduction of 12% was achieved with an optimum content of 33% of the volcanic lightweight aggregate. A cost reduction of 25% was recorded over conventional compressed earth brick walls and a 54% over sand-cement block walls. Possible future trends were also identified with appreciable prospects in earthen architecture.

The performance of reinforced concrete beams in the presence of cathode-ray tube (CRT) glass waste is examined. Four concrete mixes containing 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% CRT glass waste as partial replacement of sand were prepared. The compressive and flexural strength as well as the modulus of elasticity of concrete were determined. Reinforced concrete beams with varying amounts of CRT glass were prepared and the three-point bending test was conducted. The load-deflection curve as well as the strain distribution along the depth of the beams were determined. Concrete containing CRT glass showed an increase in compressive strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity especially at 10% replacement level. The load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete beam is higher when 10% of sand is replaced with CRT glass compared to the control beam and the beams with 20% and 30% CRT glass substitution. The failure mode of the reinforced concrete beams is flexural failure, and the failure pattern is similar for all beams. Strain distribution showed a better ductility at control beam where the deflection was higher than the other beams at the same load. Numerical analysis was conducted, and comparison was made with the experimental results. The comparison showed the accuracy of the software used, where the results of maximum load capacity and maximum deflection were very similar, and the difference did not exceed 5%. In addition, the tensile damage generated by the numerical analysis was very similar to that obtained by the experimental study.

The behavior of reinforced concrete beams containing fibers made of waste plastic straws (WPSs) under the three point bending test is examined. The effect of WPS fiber addition on the compressive and split tensile strength is reported. Four concrete mixes were prepared. The control mix PS-0 had a proportion of 1 cement: 1 sand: 2 coarse aggregate and a water cement ratio of 0.4. In the other three mixes PS-0.5, PS-1.5 and PS-3, 0%, 0.5%, 1.5% and 3% of WPS fiber (by volume) was added respectively. The results show that at 0.5% WPS, there is slight increase in compressive strength. However, beyond 0.5% addition, a decrease in compressive strength is observed. The split tensile strength shows a systematic increase with the addition of WPS fibers. The reinforced concrete beams containing WPS fibers show higher ductility as demonstrated by the larger ultimate tensile strain and ductility index (Δu/Δy). There is a tendency to have more fine cracks with the presence of WPS fibers.

Coal fly ash (FA) and basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag are the by-products of coal combustion in power stations and steel plants, respectively. The disposal of these wastes would require landfill space and can cause environmental pollution. In order to avoid disposal, the use of FA and BOF slag as sub-base material in highway pavement was investigated. The first part of this research was the characterization of FA and BOF in terms of their chemical and mineralogical compositions as well as the microstructural analysis. This is followed by the preparation of soil mixtures containing different proportions of kaolin, FA, BOF slag (0%, 15%, 20% and 25% by weight) and lime at a constant ratio (5%). Kaolin was used to represent the natural soil. The soil mixtures were cured for 1, 7 and 28 days and some were cured 56 days. At each curing age, the dry unit weight (γdmax), the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and California bearing ratio (CBR) were determined. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were also used to examine the changes in the phase-mineral composition and microstructure properties, respectively. The results show that the maximum dry unit weight values were observed in the mixture consisting of 25% FA, 15% BOF slag and 5% lime. The XRD analyses of kaolin soils containing, FA, BOF slag and lime exhibited the formation of hydrated products such as portlandite (C-H), calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) and calcium aluminium silicate hydrate (C-A-S-H), which increase with the age curing. According to results obtained, FA and BOF slag can be used in road base and sub-base materials.

This present work is a study of the durability of green self-compacting concrete (SCC) that incorporates recycled cathode ray tube glass (CRTG) and metakaolin (MK). In these SCC mixtures natural sand has been replaced with CRTG at levels of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% by weight, and the cement has been partially replaced by MK at substitution ratios of 5, 10, and 15% by weight. The fresh properties of SCC mixtures were then evaluated by slump flow, V-funnel, L-Box tests and their resistance to segregation was measured by the sieve stability test. The strength and durability properties of hardened SCC mixtures was assessed according to the compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), porosity, ions chloride permeability, gas permeability, and Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) tests. A SEM analysis was also carried out to examine the developing microstructure of hardened SCC mixtures. This study revealed an improvement in the fresh properties of SCC mixtures with up to 50% CRTG replacement. At the hardened state, the compressive strength and UPV of the SCC mixtures (10MK + 50CRTG) improved by 16% and 3% respectively after 90 days of ageing compared to SCC control mixtures. Moreover, using MK in SCC mixtures with different amounts of CRTG resulted in the best durability, while 10% of MK enhanced the porosity, permeability of chloride and gas permeability in SCC. Results show also that, 10% and 15% of MK can be prescribed in 0.1% limit of ASR in SCC mixtures with CRTG.

With increases in world population and a growing trend of people moving to urban areas, there has been an associated increase in urban pollution. This chapter explores the various ways that urban pollution may be reduced through the use of waste and recycled materials in construction projects and the use of innovation in construction. Reducing the amount of cement used in construction can have a positive impact on the environment. This can be achieved by replacing the cement with appropriate waste, such as pozzolanic and other materials. Waste clay is generated in urban areas in various places such as the tunnelling operation and other excavation activities. Recent research suggests that waste clay can be used in the production of lightweight aggregates through calcination. In some urban areas, in order to deal with the large amounts of municipal solid waste sent to landfill, it is incinerated.

Urban growth in Lebanon has been rapid over the last few decades. This chapter provides an overall review of the current critical status of water quality of the Litani River in view of concurrent urbanisation. It explains recent efforts of wastewater management and the future perspectives necessary for the integrated management of the basin. Urbanisation rates in Lebanon have exceeded the service capacities of large cities. Water quality deterioration of rivers and groundwater resources is one of the main threats to water sustainability in urban developed areas. The Litani River presents an example of the influence of urbanisation on water quality in Lebanon. In spite of the efforts of the Lebanese government aided by international development programmes to control pollution in and around the Litani River Basin, the problem has become more severe as urbanisation planning and effective wastewater and solid waste management are still lacking.

The types of Dynamic loads that might face an engineer during any design procedure vary. One of these loads is the explosion's pressure on buildings which is in other words the blast load. This research has examined the possibility of using a finite element method as a tool for predicting the dynamic response of blast loaded reinforced concrete beams. In this study, the advanced software, ABAQUS is used in order to model materials and consider the material nonlinearity, stiffness degradation and strain rate effects. Experimental results for several beams under explosion are chosen to be modeled and verified using ABAQUS. These experiments were carried out at the National University of Defense Technology in China. The results show that the material properties of concrete under impact loads (high strain rates) can be well defined in ABAQUS. Also the built in model CONWEP for blast load in ABAQUS can be used in the simulation process with an acceptable error.

Many engineering facilities are severely damaged by blast loading. Therefore, many manufacturers of sensitive, breakable, and deformed structures (such as facades of glass buildings) carry out studies and set standards for these installations to withstand shock waves caused by explosions. Structural engineers also use these standards in their designs for various structural elements by following the ISO Damage Carve, which links pressure and Impulse. As all the points below this curve means that the structure is safe and will not exceed the degree of damage based on the various assumptions made. This research aims to derive the Iso-Damage curve of a reinforced concrete beam exposed to blast wave. An advanced volumetric finite element program (ABAQUS) will be used to perform the derivation.

Also the built in model CONWEP for blast load in ABAQUS can be used in the simulation process with an acceptable error.
