“…Based on the type of fibres used, the rate of https://www.indjst.org/ absorption differs. Compared to abaca fibers, PP fibers had less water absorption, whereas, in the present study, PVA shows lower absorption than PP fibers (13) . The effect of fibre and alccofine on absorption following immersion and boiling followed a similar trend, as shown in Table 5.…”

Objectives:The study intends to assess the durability behaviour of Engineered Cementitious Composites containing Alccofine and fibres in mono and hybrid formats. Methods: The study comprehensively investigates ECC's response to water absorption, density, volume of permeable pores and sorptivity based on ASTM C 642 and 1585, respectively. In addition, ECC specimens were subjected to various environments such as acid, alkaline and sulphate mediums to find the performance mentioned above. Findings: The introduction of Alccofine caused a significant effect on both mechanical and durability properties. The results indicated that the inclusion of Alccofine exhibited a decrease of 18.67% of absorption and 25.89% of voids in ECC compared to the control mortar. The density of ECC increased by about 13.42%. After being exposed to acid, alkaline, and sulphate environments, the percentage loss of weight in ECC is 2.93%, 0.56%, and 0.51%, respectively, whereas in the control specimen, it was 3.92%, 0.83%and 1.51%, respectively. Percentage loss of strength also follows the same trend; the values are 14.67%, 3.27% and 11.19% in ECC, whereas in the control specimen, 23.32%, 8.33% and 16.79%, respectively. Alcconfine enhanced microstructure refinement and synthetic fibres crack mitigation behaviour improve ECC's resistance to the deterioration mechanisms. Novelty: The article reveals that adding Alccofine and hybridising fibers developed a sustainable material and found superior performance in all harsh environmental conditions. Using concrete with enhanced properties will be beneficial.

“…Studies have shown that the addition of alccofine to concrete reduces water absorption, and thus increases the durability [30]. Vivek et al [31] found that an alccofine-admixed fibre-reinforced SCC mix has less water absorption than that of control concrete. Figure 11 illustrates the water absorption characteristics of all mixtures.…”

“…Researchers have found that alccofine in concrete decreases the sorptivity coefficient and thus increases the durability [30]. It was found that the alccofine-admixed fibre-reinforced SCC mix had a lower sorptivity value than that of the control concrete [31]. Figure 12 shows the sorptivity values of the concrete mix containing alccofine with the addition of CS.…”

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.
