“…It is known that bleeding depends on the cement type, 18 admixtures, 20,21 w/c ratio, 20,22 aggregate size and type, 23 and the scale of the used cementitious mixes (i.e., concrete, mortar, or paste) 17,24 .

“…17,24 Concrete subjected to uncontrolled bleeding may need expensive repair, or even replacement of the entire concrete element. 25,26 The significant impact of the bleeding process on the durability of concrete requires the control of this process. To control the bleeding process, the following question is crucial: How do the physical properties of binder grains influence the bleeding process of concrete, and consequently its mechanical properties and durability?…”

Bleeding is a common problem in concrete slabs, and may lead to serious damage. The goal of this article is to understand the impact of alternative binders and their properties on the bleeding of concrete. Therefore, the impact of the type of binder on the bleeding process is investigated. The results show that the addition of granite powder or fly ash allows for the increased control of the bleeding process. It was found that a finer particle size distribution (PSD), an increased specific surface area (SSA), and a higher bulk density may reduce the amount of dispensed water in the concrete mix. Furthermore, the use of additives with an increased SSA leads to even a 30% reduction of the bleeding rate of mixes. The utilization of additives with a finer PSD than cement enables a 37% reduction of the bleeding rate of mixes. The influence of bleeding on compressive strength was assessed using destructive and non-destructive tests: Replacing 30% of cement with granite powder leads to a 30% reduction of concrete strength after 28 days of curing; on the other hand, replacing 30% of cement with siliceous fly ash leads to an 18% reduction of strength. Importantly, bleeding was also found to lead to the heterogeneity of the physical and mechanical properties across the concrete section. Consequently, the proper control of the bleeding process leads to more homogeneous properties of concrete across its cross-section.

“…The use of wastes for partial replacement of cement, such as ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, marble powder and glass powder have been studied by many researchers [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. However, glass can be considered as the most appropriate as cement substation, due to its chemical composition and physical properties [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ] as well as its abundance in the landfills in large quantities.…”

This study investigates the use of crushed glass waste as partial cement replacement in ordinary concretes. Six concrete mixes were designed and prepared: a reference without substitution and five substitution percentages of crushed glass waste ranging from 5% to 25%. The made concrete mix design underwent different tests, namely: slump test, mechanical strength, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) determination and finally, water porosimetry, in order to evaluate the influence of the use of crushed glass waste on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. Mechanical strengths results show that the use of 15% of the crushed glass waste improves the mechanical strength. TGA analysis confirms this result by highlighting a higher hydration degree. The latter contributes to the reduction of the porosity and, consequently, the mechanical strength increases. Also, it can be caused by the increasing amount of chromium which, if added a little, accelerates the hydration of C3S and leads to an increase of the mechanical strength. The BET technique and porosimetry tests showed that the use of crushed glass waste reduces the global porosity of concrete. This is due to the filling effect of the glass powder.

“…UPV has been widely used in evaluating different concrete conditions. Recently, there have been studies that used UPV to evaluate building materials modified using industrial wastes [ 9 , 10 ]. In the study of Sadowski et al [ 9 ], the results confirmed the potential of using the hybrid ultrasonic-neural method in analyzing the compressive strength of concrete screeds with materials from industrial waste.…”

The results of the research showed that incorporation of marble powder affect the UPV, apparent density, and compressive strength.…”

The main objective of this research is to investigate the effect of water content in concrete on the velocities of ultrasonic waves (P- and S-waves) and mechanical properties (elastic modulus and compressive strength) of concrete. For this study, concrete specimens (100 mm × 200 mm cylinders) were fabricated with three different water-to-binder ratios (0.52, 0.35, and 0.26). These cylinders were then submerged in water to be saturated in different degrees from 25% to 100% with an interval of 25% saturation. Another set of cylinders was also oven-dried to represent the dry condition. The dynamic properties of concrete were then assessed using a measurement of elastic wave accordance with ASTM C597-16 and using resonance tests following ASTM C215-19, before and after immersion in water. The static properties of saturated concrete were also assessed by the uniaxial compressive testing according to ASTM C39/C39M-20 and ASTM C469/C469M-14. It was observed that the saturation level of concrete affected the two ultrasonic wave velocities and the two static mechanical properties of concrete in various ways. The relationship between P-wave velocity and compressive strength of concrete was highly sensitive to saturation condition of concrete. In contrast, S-wave velocity of concrete was closely correlated with compressive strength of concrete, which was much less sensitive to water saturation level compared to P-wave velocity of concrete. Finally, it was noticed that water saturation condition only little affects the relationship between the dynamic and elastic moduli of elasticity of concrete studies in this study.
