Effect of recycled tyre polymer fibre on engineering properties of sustainable strain hardening geopolymer composites

Behaviour of recycled tyre polymer fibre reinforced concrete at elevated temperatures

“…Herein, only the static mechanical properties of RTP fibre reinforced concrete at elevated temperatures were investigated, while the effect of RTP fibres on dynamic mechanical properties of concrete exposed to elevated temperatures remains unknown. For a wide range of practical applications, it is vital to explore the coupled effect of temperature and strain rate on dynamic mechanical properties of RTP fibre reinforced concrete in comparison with commonly used polymer fibres such as PP, PVA and PE [27,40,66,67]. This is a subject of ongoing work and will be presented in a future publication.…”

Experimental and analytical study of bond between basalt FRP bars and geopolymer concrete

“…Fine and coarse aggregates were used in saturated surface dry (SSD) condition according to ASTM C128 [42] and ASTM C127 [43], respectively. Table 1 shows the mix proportion of GPC adopted in this study, which was determined as reported in previous studies [44,45] considering the acceptable engineering properties in terms of workability, setting time and strengths. The mixing procedure for GPC is given as: (1) FA, GGBS, sand and coarse aggregates were mixed in the dry state for 3 min to ensure homogeneity of the mixture.…”

Study on the Utilization of Iron Tailings in Ultra-High-Performance Concrete: Fresh Properties and Compressive Behaviors

“…A test was carried out to measure the effect of TS content on the autogenous shrinkage of UHPC. After mixing procedure, the slurry was poured into the mold with a size of 25 mm × 25 mm × 280 mm based on ASTM C490-17 [35], and two contactors were embedded at both ends of the specimen simultaneously (Figure 7). After one day under a temperature of 20 ± 2 • C and a relative humidity of 60 ± 5%, the specimen was demolded.…”
