“…Other studies have shown that direct mixing phase change material can greatly improve the hydration cycle, but affects the mechanical properties of cement paste / concrete [32]. Alccofine1203 has improved mechanical quality properties in high intensity concrete and green concrete [32][33][34] with a 10% integration. Direct incorporation of PCM in concrete had been studied primarily earlier.…”

energy is increased by 2.4 to 3.2% per year from 2015 to 2040 [1]. Energy savings in the residential or commercial sector using different materials for thermal energyefficient buildings has given a new scope for research. A general idea amidst the energy-efficient building design strategies is to increase the thermal mass of the building materials which can store the thermal energy during day time and release the energy at night. This can ultimately save energy consumption in building sectors and reduce

“…It is a measure of the ability of concrete to withstand axial loads or forces that tend to squeeze or crush materials. Sagar and Sivakumar [23] observed a maximum 17 % improvement in compressive strength of conventional concrete. Pawar and Saoji [18] discovered that self-compacting concrete (SCC) containing 10 % alccofine-1203 had superior workability and compressive strength.…”

The infrastructure of a country depends significantly on cement concrete as the primary construction material. The aggregate comprises a significant proportion of the overall volume of concrete. However, the ongoing extraction of granite rock to obtain coarse aggregate contributes to the escalating need for natural resources among future generations. Due to its high carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint, the cement industry is a significant contributor to global warming. An appropriate reduction in the amount of cement in concrete without affecting its key properties can result in economical and sustainable development of the construction industry. In this investigation, agricultural waste coconut shell is considered as a substitute for conventional aggregate in concrete to produce lightweight coconut shell concrete. The alccofine-1203 contains ultrafine particles with a distinctive composition that enhances the pozzolanic and hydration process in concrete. Alccofine ranging from 5 % to 15 % were added to cement. The results demonstrated that the 10 % alccofine enhanced the fresh and mechanical properties of the lightweight coconut shell concrete. Using a combination of coconut shell and alccofine in concrete would be the most environmentally sustainable option in the construction industry.

“…This increase may be due to inclusion of fillers in concrete diminish the voids by enhancing packing density and addition of fibre reduce crack growth and development of new cracks. https://www.indjst.org/ Based on the compressive strength, the replacement of cement with alccofine was beneficial upto 10% and further, 12% or 14% replacement levels falls in strength were observed compared to mix with10% alccofine (18) . Replacement of cement with 10% alccofine and iron powder enhanced the maximum compressive strength of 43.52 N/mm 2 , flexural strength of 5.1N/mm 2 respectively compared to the conventional concrete (19) .…”

“…The increases may be due to the effect of arbitrarily oriented PP fibres that produces the higher energy absorption. The increases in flexural strength to alccofine based mixes may be attributed due to strong bonding (ITZ) between the aggregates and cementitious materials (18) . The flexural strength of prism specimens made with and without polypropylene fibres are presented in Table 5.…”

Objectives:The intent of the study is to assess the strength and durability behavior of concrete specimens attaining micro fillers such as alccofine and zeolite and micro reinforcement in the form of polypropylene fibres. Methods: Polypropylene fibres were added in volume fractions of 0%,0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4%. The mechanical properties of concrete such as compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and flexural strength were obtained for concrete mixes with and without PP fibres through standard testing procedure. Some durability properties such as water absorption, porosity, sorptivity, acid resistance were also examined. Appropriating instrumentation has been adopted for making the measurements pertaining to the above parameters. Findings: Introduction of micro fillers and polypropylene fibres caused a significant effect on as compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, flexural strength, water absorption, porosity, sorptivity, and acid resistance. The results indicated that inclusion of polypropylene fibers exhibit maximum increase of 15.15% and 14.87% has been realized in the compressive strength of cube and cylinder, a maximum increase of 10.47% in flexural strength and 14.35% in elasticity modulus through the inclusion of polypropylene fibre. Novelty: The article reveals that inclusion of micro fillers and polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete in public spaces is a promising practice, since they are impacted by adverse environmental conditions, suffer surface degradation, and are the target of vandalism. It is clear that using concrete with improved characteristics will be advantageous.
