Abstract:
Achieving energy efficiency of building in north part of Kazakhstan is very critical due to the large temperature difference during long harsh and severe winter and short hot summer seasons. Energy efficient building shows significant savings to homeowners including costs reduction from energy, water, waste, and lower operations and maintenance costs. In terms of building materials, lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) due to its thermal properties is often used to maintain thermal comfort levels in buildings and to reduce building energy consumption. In this paper, the potential of LWAC to improve the energy performance of building was assessed for LWAC with three different mixture proportions and a normal weight concrete (NWC) for comparison purpose. The energy saving effect of LWAC was simulated using OpenStudio software tools with an EnergyPlus engine. Moreover, annual heat loss and amount of heat transfer of construction wall of building were calculated. Results showed that LWAC can improve the energy efficiency of building and thus the use of LWAC can be a good alternative to the traditional NWC.

Abstract:
The replacement of cement with sugarcane bagasse ash in concrete is considered due to its rich properties of projecting pozzolanic activity. The availability of aggregates is becoming scarce as a result of the non-renewable characteristic of fine and coarse aggregates. The construction waste end products like demolishing waste also cause the problem of improper disposal. Hence a majority of the construction industries have preferred the usage of construction and demolition (C&D) waste as a replacement for coarse aggregate. Substitution of coarse aggregates by construction and demolition waste and fine aggregates by iron slag ash is considered. The Taguchi method is adopted for the determination of mix combinations. This paper focuses on determining the properties of concrete having pozzolanic properties by replacing the cement with sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), coarse aggregate with demolished building waste (DBW), and Fine aggregate with iron slag ash (ISA). The experimental investigation proved that SBA, DBW and ISA have a potential sign to be used as an alternative sustainable building material. From the comparative analysis of experimental results with ANN, it is revealed that the concrete show an acceptable prediction of physical and strength properties.

Abstract: The last few decades have seen a rapid increase in urbanisation, which has increased demand for building materials, particularly aggregates. The aggregate mining has put a burden on the environment and raised concerns about swift ecological harm. Lack of building aggregates is a severe issue that requires the use of alternative recycled aggregates in its stead. Old, abandoned building debris is used to create recycled aggregates (RA), which are then hauled to a landfill and disposed of there. In addition to pushing waste sites farther away, the decades-long urbanisation of the region has also increased the expense of moving these aggregates. Utilising them in place of natural aggregates in concrete mixtures is the solution. Here in this study some proportion of natural coarse aggregate is being replaced by the recycled aggregate and analysis of its effect on various mechanical properties of concrete is being done. The mechanical properties of concrete constitute Compressive Strength, Flexural Strength, Shrinkage, Creep and Modulus of Elasticity.

Abstract:
The use of concrete for various building constructions has been widely used, both as a building structure and also for transportation purposes, especially for concrete roads. Nanga Jemah Village is one of the villages located in Boyan District, Kapuas Hulu Regency which has potential in the field of building materials. The use of aggregates originating from Nanga Jemah has often been done, but until now no one has investigated this type of aggregate as a concrete-forming material, especially for the manufacture of concrete rebate roads. The aggregates used in this study are aggregates derived from Nanga Jemah, both fine aggregates and coarse aggregates by comparing the use of commonly used materials. The purpose and objective of this research are to develop the potential of the area in the form of materials originating from the village of Nanga Jemah so that they can be used as concrete-forming materials, especially for the construction of the Rabat Beton road.

Abstract:
Lightweight constructions materials provide better thermal insulations properties for buildings. Using lightweight’s aggregates, such like wood particles is one of the most common ways for making lightweight building materials. The low cost and availability of wood particles made it the best ultimate materials preference in production of composites construction materials. Geopolymer, the alkali-activation cement-based materials have been proven can be used to produce lightweight materials. In additional, geopolymer possess excellent mechanical properties and significant reduction in CO2 emissions compare to ordinary Portland cement. The use of environmentally friendly building construction materials has become increasingly important. This paper presents a review on producing lightweight building materials from geopolymer with wood particles as an aggregate.

Abstract:
Abstract Lightweight aggregates (LWA) are building materials with a lower bulk density than standard construction aggregates. In recent years, the contribution of industry to the circular economy has become a serious concern. Among these, the mining sector is confronted with significant problems relating to the management of a huge quantity of generated waste. The major contemporary task is to address a number of interconnected challenges, including waste management and recycling, conservation of scarce natural resources, reduction of energy use, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Natural aggregates are consumed by the construction materials industry in the range of 8 to 12 billion tons per year. According to reports, the construction materials sector consumes the most energy and scarce natural resources (rocks, aggregates, and water) while also emitting greenhouse gases. In general, using waste material as lightweight aggregate decreases the concrete’s overall weight. The materials used as lightweight aggregate in concrete are discussed in this study. According to research, utilizing trash as a lightweight aggregate not only improves the characteristics of concrete but also gives a sustainable approach to minimize global waste.

Abstract:
Due to their porous nature, lightweight aggregates have been shown to exhibit thermal properties that are advantageous when used in building materials such as lightweight concrete, grout, mortar, and concrete masonry units. Limited data exist on the thermal properties of materials that incorporate lightweight aggregate where the pore system has not been altered, and very few studies have been performed to quantify the building energy performance of structures constructed using lightweight building materials in commonly utilized structural and building envelope components. In this study, several lightweight concrete and masonry building materials were tested to determine the thermal properties of the bulk materials, providing more accurate inputs to building energy simulation than have previously been used. These properties were used in EnergyPlus building energy simulation models for several types of commercial structures for which materials containing lightweight aggregates are an alternative commonly considered for economic and aesthetic reasons. In a simple model, use of sand lightweight concrete resulted in prediction of 15–17% heating energy savings and 10% cooling energy savings, while use of all lightweight concrete resulted in prediction of approximately 35–40% heating energy savings and 30% cooling energy savings. In more complex EnergyPlus reference models, results indicated superior thermal performance of lightweight aggregate building materials in 48 of 50 building energy simulations. Predicted energy savings for the five models ranged from 0.2% to 6.4%.

Abstract:
In this work, an experimental study is conducted to compare the properties of aggregate from concrete waste generated during demolition, concrete laboratory waste and natural aggregates – which are used as control samples. The study examines the possibility of using demolition waste to develop building materials with stable properties, in order to obtain economic benefits from the disposal of man-made waste. Initially, the production of aggregates from waste is carried out by crushing concrete scrap from demolition waste and laboratory waste, followed by the study of their physical and chemical properties to obtain aggregates and concrete mixtures, the production of samples, and the determination of compressive, flexural and tensile strength. The correlation between the results obtained from various experiments is analyzed and a linear correlation between the compressive strength and other established mechanical properties is noted. The possibility of recycling construction waste, leading to the solution of several problems, is presented: reducing the cost of industrial waste disposal and improving the physical and mechanical properties of concrete by introducing it as a filler.

Abstract:
Global warming, energy savings, and life cycle analysis issues are factors that have contributed to the rapid expansion of plant-based materials for buildings, which can be qualified as environmental-friendly, sustainable and efficient multifunctional materials. This review presents an overview on the several possibilities developed worldwide about the use of plant aggregate to design bio-based building materials. The use of crushed vegetal aggregates such as hemp (shiv), flax, coconut shells and other plants associated to mineral binder represents the most popular solution adopted in the beginning of this revolution in building materials. Vegetal aggregates are generally highly porous with a low apparent density and a complex architecture marked by a multi-scale porosity. These geometrical characteristics result in a high capacity to absorb sounds and have hygro-thermal transfer ability. This is one of the essential characteristics which differ of vegetal concrete compared to the tradition mineral-based concretes. In addition, the high flexibility of the aggregates leads to a non-fragile elasto-plastic behavior and a high deformability under stress, lack of fracturing and marked ductility with absorbance of the strains ever after having reached the maximum mechanical strength. Due to the sensitivity to moisture, the assessment of the durability of vegetal concrete constitutes one of the next scientific challenging of bio-based building materials.

Abstract:
With more than three tons per head, per year, concrete is the most important and widespread material used in construction worldwide. The Italian code allows the use of waste produced by construction and demolition (C&D) operations to produce recycled aggregates. The great interest, both technical-economic and environmental aroused by this subject has in recent years and all over the world led to a noteworthy increase in experimental and theoretical studies on recycled materials resulting from the construction sector and, in particular, on recycled aggregates. The possibility of utilizing recycled aggregate is a very good solution to the problem of C&D waste and at the same time it reduces quarrying operations and limits the use of natural aggregates. The Italian ministerial decree of 14 January 2008 containing technical regulations for construction works, together with UNI EN 12620 and UNI 8520-2 standards concerning structural materials now allows a limited replacement percentage of only coarse recycled aggregates (sizes above 4 mm), to produce structural recycled concrete. In this scenario, the research activities described herein were developed with the final purposes of: Characterizing “real” coarse and fine recycled aggregates derived from construction and demolition waste by only concrete, randomly taken from an authorised class A storage site. This characterization was performed to determine their performance, compliance with the Italian code and the best experimental practice for the production and use in structural concrete. Furthermore the characterization of recycled aggregates by means of their shape, sizes, density, structure, strength, permeability and resistance to freezing and thawing cycles, directly leads to CE+2 certification, which is not present in Sardinia at the moment. Analysing different concrete mixtures made with different replacement percentages of fine and coarse and only coarse recycled aggregates in place of the natural ones to create a product having good properties during production, transport and implementation, with good compatibility with all devices and machines employed in concrete plants. The intention is to use recycled aggregates produced exclusively by concrete, coming from authorized class A storage sites, immediately after their release from the crusher and to optimize the mix design of the recycled concrete and the relative packaging procedure. Determining the mechanical properties of recycled concrete made with different replacement percentages of coarse and fine and only coarse recycled aggregates and comparing them with ordinary concrete to measure the gap in performance and evaluating their use in structural concrete. Reviewing and examining the scientific scenario in the determination of mechanical properties of the transition zone (ITZ). The results obtained from characterization of fine and coarse recycled aggregates, show a variability in line with what usually occurs in the characterization of natural aggregates, especially for coarse aggregates. The CE marking of recycled aggregates from concrete only, now completely absent in Sardinia, appears to be a feasible goal. However, a complete reorganization of demolition companies with selective demolition and separation of C&D waste is essential, together with a reorganization of authorized storage sites. Experimental results show a generally good behaviour of fresh and hardened recycled concrete. In concrete made with only coarse recycled aggregates, for very high replacement percentages of 50% and 80%, the differences with the strength properties of ordinary concrete are minimal, and sometimes irrelevant. In concrete made with fine and coarse recycled aggregates a reduction in strength was found, but was contained for replacement percentages up to 50%. Fine recycled aggregates present more problems compared to coarse recycled aggregates, especially as regards water absorption and particle size distribution. Their use in practice is possible if the dosage of water, cement and additives to be included in the mix is studied in advance. The study of the mix in producing concrete, and in particular for recycled concretes, plays a role of fundamental importance. The excellent results obtained in this experimental work, in terms of workability and strength are probably for the most part to be attributed to the choices made in this stage, mostly as concerns the choice of the additive and the amount of compensating water added to the mixtures. An important result of the experiments performed concerns the possibility of producing structural concrete using real coarse and fine recycled aggregates coming exclusively from the waste crushed concrete, immediately as it comes out of the crusher, without the need to optimise the grain size curve. However, an optimal mix design must be arrived at, especially as concerns the W/C ratio and the quality and quantity of additive used.

Abstract:
The aim of this work was to use simulation as a tool to better understand areas of orthokinetic (shear-induced) aggregation which are still not well understood. These areas include aggregate structure, aggregate strength, breakup and restructuring and combined perikinetic/orthokinetic aggregation. Previous simulation studies were reviewed and it was concluded that the methodology of Chen and Doi (1989) was an appropriate starting point for this study. The modified simulation was validated by comparison with theoretical and experimental results. Orthokinetic aggregates were found to have a fractal structure with an estimated value of 1.65. Scaling exponents, which were shown to be indicative of fractal dimension, of 2.1-2.7 were also obtained. Flexible bonds allowed restructuring to occur which led to an increase in the co-ordination number, scaling exponent, aggregate strength and a reduction in aggregate size. Thus aggregate strength increases with fractal dimension. It was confirmed that both restructuring and breakup/reformation could lead to the formation of small, compact aggregates. The high shear conditions simulated favoured breakup/reformation, while restructuring was expected to dominate with more flexible bonds, possibly at lower shear rates. Taking some account of hydrodynamic interactions by the inclusion of Kirkwood-Riseman theory led to an increase in the compactness of the aggregates and the co-ordination numbers, as well as a decrease in size of the aggregates. The results showed that hydrodynamic interactions can not be ignored. The explanation for the dramatic effects was that particles/microflocs on the outer edges of the aggregates broke off and reformed in a more compact way. Erosion was found to dominate in all cases, thus supporting the theory that erosion dominates at higher fractal dimensions. The shearing range simulated was found to be relatively high (equivalent to <200s-1 for particles of 2-5??m), producing relatively small aggregates. Hence it is proposed that under high shear conditions, erosion dominates. It was shown by extension of the DLCA algorithmic restructuring work of Meakin and Jullien (1988, 1989) that the scattering patterns observed in gently sheared aggregating systems are consistent with the interpretation that the shearing causes partial restructuring at large length scales.

Abstract:
The valorization of available agricultural by-products is important for the development of bio-aggregate based concretes as eco-friendly solutions for building materials. However, their diversity requires to assess their potential of use in vegetal concretes. This study aims to propose simple and relevant multi-physical characterization methods for plant aggregates. Basic and complementary characterizations were carried out on hemp shiv as a reference plant aggregate, and nine by-products available in the South-West part of France, i.e., oleaginous flax shiv, sunflower pith and bark, coriander straw, wheat straw, wheat chaff, corn shuck, miscanthus stem and vine shoot. The basic characterizations performed were those recommended by the TC-RILEM 236 BBM, i.e., particle size distribution, bulk density, water absorption and thermal conductivity. Complementary characterizations have also been proposed, taking into account the possible environment of the binder and the vegetal concrete manufacturing method. The additional tests developed or adapted from previous research assess the following properties: the content of water-soluble compounds at pH 7 and 12, the dry density of plant aggregates compacted in wet state, the real water absorption after compaction and the compression behavior of these compacted aggregates. This complete characterization highlights the distinct behavior of the different agroresources and allows to correlate these characteristics to the use properties of hardened composites.

Abstract. In the latest period, the volume of building material has greatly extended, raising social and environmental concerns surrounding waste recycling. Construction and demolition waste is a significant factor in global generated waste. Construction necessarily requires the use of massive quantities of aggregates. When the structure's useful life is up, it will be demolished, and all of the demolished waste will disposed of in landfills. It became increasingly difficult to identify large areas for landfills. Crushed, graded inorganic particles that have been processed from construction materials and demolition debris make up recycled aggregates. Aggregates that have been recycled for use in high-strength structural concrete. In this work, recycled coarse aggregate was employed to replace virgin coarse aggregate. The properties of both fresh and hardened concrete made from 100 % recycled coarse aggregate which has been internally or externally replaced found, and the effects are compared to concrete by applying the virgin coarse aggregate.

Abstract:
The utilization of waste materials in concrete production can provide potential technical and environmental benefits. In this study, the incorporation of recycled waste glass and olive stone aggregates as partial replacements for fine and coarse aggregates in concrete mixtures was evaluated. Coarse aggregate was replaced with crushed bottle glass, while fine aggregate was replaced with processed olive stones from agricultural waste. Five concrete mixtures were tested, with a control mixture containing 0% waste aggregates and others containing 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% replacements by weight of aggregates with waste glass and olive stones. The compressive strength, flexural strength, and thermal conductivity of standard concrete and specimens were evaluated. The results indicate that compressive strength was equal to or higher in the waste aggregate concretes compared to the control, with 20-30% of replacements showing the best performance. The olive stones increased flexural strength, while the glass reduced it compared to control samples. Thermal conductivity decreased linearly with increasing waste aggregate content due to the lower density and non-crystalline structures. These findings provide evidence that recycled glass and olive stone aggregates can be successfully used as sustainable substitutes for natural aggregates in concrete mixtures.

Abstract:
This research investigates the efficiency of using Flax Fibers reinforced bio-sourced polymer by comparison to traditional system based on Carbone Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Polymer in order to confine recycled aggregates concrete. Four concrete formulations have been formulated by incorporating recycled aggregates from demolition waste (0%, 30%, 50% and 100%). An air-entraining agent was added to the formulations to achieve the level of 4% occluded air. The main objective is to discuss and to evaluate the effectiveness of confining them using bio-sourced composite by comparison to traditional ones. To hit this target, the developed approaches are both experimental and analytical. The first part is experimental and aimed to characterize the mechanical behavior of the materials: the composites used in the confining process the unconfined concrete (effect of incorporating recycled aggregates on the overall mechanical characteristics). We establish that bio-sourced composites are efficient in strengthening recycled aggregates concrete especially if they are air-entrained. The second part of this work is dedicated to analytical modeling of mechanical behavior of confined concrete with composite under compression based on Mander’s model. The input parameters of the model were modified to consider the rate of recycled aggregates incorporation. Comparison between experimental results and the modified Mandel’s Model is satisfactory.

Abstract:
The construction industry is the largest global consumer of materials, among which sand plays a fundamental role; now the second most used natural resource behind water, sand is the primary component in concrete. However, natural sand production is a slow process and sand is now consumed at a faster pace than it’s replenished. One way to reduce consumption of sand is to use alternative materials in the concrete industry. This paper reports the exploratory study on the suitability of aquaculture byproducts as fine aggregates in concrete mixtures. Seashell grit, seashell flour and oyster flour were used as sand replacements in concrete mixtures (10%, 30% and 50% substitution rates). All the mixtures were characterized in fresh and hardened states (workability, air content, compressive strength and water absorption). Based on compressive strength, measured at 7 and 28 days, seashell grit provided the most promising results: the compressive strength was found to be larger than for conventional concrete. Moreover, the compressive strength of the cubes was larger, when larger percentages of seashell grit were used, with the highest value obtained for 50% substitution. However, for oyster flour and seashell flour, only 10% sand substitution provided results comparable with the control mixture. For the three aggregates, workability of concrete decreases with fineness modulus decrease. For mixtures in which shell and oyster flour were used with 30% and 50% substitution percentages, it was necessary to increase the quantity of mixing water to allow a minimal workability. In conclusion, considering the promising results of the seashell grit, it is suggested to study further the characteristic of the material, also considering its environmental and physical properties, including acoustic and thermal performances. Higher substitution percentages should also be investigated. This research adds to the relevant literature in matter of biobased concrete, aiming at finding new biobased sustainable alternatives in the concrete industry.

Abstract:
The water-resistance of cow-dung has made it a widely used stabiliser in traditional earthen structures in several Asian and African countries. Multiple studies have shown an improvement in water-resistance with the addition of cow-dung, but none provides insight into this behaviour. The present study investigates the water-resistance behaviour of cow-dung stabilised earthen blocks through an extensive experimental programme to identify and characterise the components of cow-dung responsible for its water-resistance. Fresh cow-dung was collected and separated into fibres (>63 μm), medium-sized microbial aggregates (1-63 μm) and small-sized microbial aggregates (0.5-7 μm). Each component was mixed with soil and samples were prepared at different water contents (optimum water content corresponding to the highest dry density and water content higher than optimum) and compacted with 2.5 MPa force to prepare compressed blocks. The water-resistance of these blocks was evaluated through the immersion and modified drip/rain test. It was found that the small-sized microbial aggregates are almost entirely responsible for water-resistance behaviour of cow-dung stabilised earthen blocks. Small-sized microbial aggregates were further characterised by gas chromatography, mercury intrusion porosimetry, N2- BET surface area, zeta potential measurement and electron microscopy. The results indicate that the small-sized microbial aggregates are composed of clay-sized negatively charged particles that are rich in fatty acids. The hydrophobicity of these particles is hypothesised to be responsible for water-resistance behaviour. These insights are further used to produce stabilised blocks that performed at least 30 times better than the unstabilised blocks in both water-resistance tests. The study concludes with practical recommendations for the use of wet cow-dung over dry cow-dung and a reduction of fibre content to increase the water-resistance of earthen blocks.

Abstract. The development of a country is well exhibited through its infrastructure and technology, where civil engineering plays an influencing role in the development of a nation. In the field of construction, concrete is the major material that is used for building purpose. Particularly, natural aggregates are involved in making concrete sound better. The natural aggregates are getting diminished due to its extensive practice. If the same situation prolongs, the natural aggregate gets extinct. This paper majorly focuses on making the environment better and in order to achieve sustainability and to preserve the environment, marble power is employed as partial material in the place of fine aggregate. On the other side, it aims at attaining the strength properties using M20 grade without any compromise. The test results clearly exhibits that incorporation of marble waste in making concrete is eco friendly as well as economical.

Abstract:
The article considers the possibility of using agricultural waste in the development of new building materials in the form of wall blocks. When selecting the compositions, the ideal fractions and ratios of straw to flax were determined, providing the forming of the densest frame of coarse and fine aggregates. Cement and lime were used as a binder. The effect of humidity on the durability and thermal conductivity of straw wall blocks and straw flax boon blocks were investigated. The conditions for the possible occurrence of mold on the block surface of aggregates were studied. According to the results of full-scale tests, the obtained dependencies of the temperature distribution during the coldest period of the winter season were analyzed and the high insulating ability of wall blocks was confirmed. The dependencies of the distribution of humidity over the thickness of the wall blocks after the end of the winter season testing operations were revealed. As a result of the research, a solution for the rational use of plant waste building wall blocks was proposed. The blocks can be applied to the construction of load-bearing and nonload-bearing walls in one-story buildings and multi-story frame construction when filling exterior wall openings.

Abstract:
Self-compacting concrete developed as a material that does not need vibration for compaction has been increasingly being used in routine practice. Successful application of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is difficult to achieve due to increased flowability of the concrete mixture. Segregation of aggregate is one of the major problems during construction and ultimately influences the strength and durability of SCC. A fresh self-compacting concrete with poor segregation resistance can lead to a nonuniform distribution of coarse aggregates in the concrete volume, contributing to blockage of concrete flow, and nonuniform mechanical properties and durability at the hardened concrete. The article presents the unique method for quantitative assessment of aggregate segregation in hardened self-compacted concrete. A digital image analysis procedure using original lighting microscope equipment has been placed to investigate the concrete segregation behavior. The photographs of concrete specimen surfaces were taken to calculate measurements of aggregate volume in concrete. The research results showed that the originally developed attachment and unique aggregate segregation assessment method are useful in laboratory tests and could be used in the on-site application.
