Abstract:
In this work, the properties of concrete modified with dosages of natural pozzolans (NP) in substitution of cement or superfine aggregates were evaluated. Proportions of 20/80 pozzolan/cement or pozzolan/superfine aggregates were selected for the additions of quarry and tuff pozzolans. Pozzolanic activity, durability, compressive strength, characteristic resistance, settling consistency, density, electrical resistivity, depth of water penetration, accessible porosity, and carbonation and chloride penetration were determined for the resulting concrete mixtures, and they were subsequently compared to the values obtained for the reference concrete batches without additions. The results of the cementitious mixtures supplemented with tuff (PZT) and quarry (PZQ) pozzolans, expressed in mmol/L, are consistent with the pozzolanism test, with [Ca(OH)2]/[OH−] ratios at 7 days are 6.03/60.19 for PZQ and 1.78/92.78 PZT. In addition to the pozzolanic activity at these dosages, the characteristic resistance and durability parameters required by EHE-08 were verified. Particular attention was given to the determination of the diffusion of chloride ions, introducing an instrumental modification of the accelerated integral method. The modification provides values of diffusion coefficients similar to those obtained by the other methods with the advantage of greater stability and quality of the measurement.

Abstract:
In this research work, the quantitative characterization of a binary blend comprised of two pozzolans (sugar cane straw (SCSA)–sugar cane bagasse ashes (SCBA), bamboo leaf ash (BLAsh)–SCBA and paper sludge (PS)–fly ash (FA)) taking into account the calculated values of the kinetic parameters of the reaction in the pozzolan/calcium hydroxide system is shown. The paper shows the most significant and important results obtained by the authors in the quantitative assessment (calculation of kinetic parameters) of the pozzolanic reaction of different mixtures of pozzolanic materials that are residues from agriculture or industrial processes. This allows a direct and rigorous comparison of the pozzolanic activity of the binary combinations of materials. The values of the kinetic parameters (reaction rate constant or activation free energy) constitute a very precise quantitative index of the pozzolanic activity of the binary combinations of materials, which is very useful for its employment in the elaboration of ternary cements. This paper shows that the binary blends 1SCBA60Blash40, 1SCBA50Blash50, 1SCBA70Blash30 have a very high pozzolanic reactivity followed by PSLSFA, 2SCBA50SCSA50, PSISFA and SCWI.

Abstract:
The current work reports the influence of synthetic seawater on some of the durability aspects of an ordinary concrete mixture (control) and six pozzolan-concrete mixtures. Three types of pozzolanic materials were employed; silica fume (SF), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and metakaolin (MK). The pozzolanic materials were employed as an addition to cement in binary and ternary combinations. All mixtures were tested for strength deterioration ratio (SDR) after 3, 6, and 12 months of exposure to synthetic seawater, permeability was measured after 6 and 12 months of exposure. It was found through this investigation that pozzolans increase the ability of concrete to withstand aggressive environment and prevent most of the deterioration signs. The pozzolanic materials serve also to increase the strength and to minimize the strength loss (SDR) upon exposure to seawater. The pozzolanic materials led to reduce concrete permeability compared to control.

Abstract:
Natural pozzolan is one of the oldest construction materials. Lime-pozzolan cements have been used for several thousands of years and have an excellent reputation for their durability. Pozzolans are being widely used as a cement replacement in Portland cement concrete. The use of pozzolans has the advantage of lower costs and better durability, but the disadvantage of a longer setting time and a slower early strength development. Different techniques have been tried to increase the reactivity of natural pozzolans to overcome these disadvantages. This paper has reviewed various methods used to activate the pozzolanic activity of natural pozzolans. All activation methods can be classified into three catalogues: thermal, mechanical, and chemical activation. A comparison based on strength–cost relationship indicates that the chemical activation method is the most effective and cheapest one.Key words: activation, reactivity, natural pozzolans, pozzolanic reaction, calcination, elevated temperature curing, chemical activators, strength, cost.

Abstract:
Numerous waste streams can be employed in different cement production processes, and the inclusion of pozzolans will, moreover, permit the manufacture of concrete with improved hydraulic properties. Pozzolanic materials can be added to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in the range of 10%–20% by mass of cement. One such example is the phyllosilicate kaolinite (K), and its calcined derivative metakaolin (MK), incorporated in international cement manufacturing standards, due to its high reactivity and utility as a pozzolan. In the present paper, discarded ballast classed as Construction and Demolition Waste (C&DW) is reused as a pozzolanic material. Various techniques are used to characterize its chemical, mineralogical, and morphological properties, alongside its mechanical properties, such as compressive and flexural strength. Discarded ballast in substitution of cement at levels of 10% and 20% produced type II or IV pozzolanic cements that yielded satisfactory test results.

Abstract:
Pozzolanicity is a very interesting issue regarding building materials, as a way to enhance mortars and concrete durability. This property results from the reaction between calcium hydroxide and silica and alumina based materials. Different types of natural and artificial pozzolans show pozzolanic activities that differ depending on the materials characteristics. Therefore, the study of this property, namely its reactivity with calcium hydroxide, reveals itself to be important in the selection of the type and content of these materials. This paper presents the results of several pozzolanic reactivity methods, applied to different pozzolanic materials. The selected pozzolanic methods include Chapelle method, Fratinni method and Strength Activity Index. Those tests have been applied to evaluate the reactivity of various kinds of artificial pozzolans. The correlation between the test methods are presented and discussed.

Abstract:
The powder materials containing active SiO2, which are used as pozzolanic active materials in cement mixtures, can be classified in consideration of their pozzolana activity, particle size or reactivity. In this paper, several types of metakaoline are studied using Frattini and modified Chapelle test for pozzolanic activity determination. The particle size analysis is measured using the laser diffraction analyser and the differences in the chemical composition are characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The obtained data show influence of particle size and chemical composition of tested powders on their pozzolanic activity, which corresponds with the results of Frattini and modified Chapelle test.

Abstract:
The possibility of using pozzolanic materials as a partial substitute for Portland cement (PC) to develop mortars and concretes promotes environmental and economic benefits. The present paper includes an in-depth investigation into the characterization of natural pozzolans from Guatemala for the valorization of these materials. An exhaustive physico-chemical characterization of the starting materials was first carried out. Second, an analysis of the pozzolanic reactivity of both pozzolans was performed using an evolution test of the pH and electrical conductivity measurements and a Frattini test. Finally, pastes and mortars were manufactured with pozzolans T and R as a substitute for PC. The results of the pH and electrical conductivity measurements confirmed that natural pozzolans can be classified as low-reactivity. The Frattini test and the thermogravimetric analysis confirmed the pozzolanic behavior of natural pozzolans at 28 curing days. In the cement pastes, lime fixation was positive for a long curing period, which demonstrated that these pozzolans had medium–long-term pozzolanic activity, similar to fly ash (FA). The results were confirmed by mechanical assays. The mortars with 15%, 25%, and 35% substitutions of cement for pozzolans had strength gain percentages of around 13–15% at 90 curing days.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to assess the possibility of using natural pozzolans (NPs) from Cameroonian volcanic scoria as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in the production of Portland cement mortars. Four natural pozzolans (Black Natural Pozzolan: BNP, Dark-Red Natural Pozzolan: DRNP, Red Natural Pozzolan: RNP and Yellow Natural Pozzolan: YNP) with 3600, 4500, 4700 and 5200 cm2/g Blaine fineness respectively were produced from different colors (Black, Dark red, Red and Yellow) volcanic scoria in a laboratory mill. Natural pozzolans were characterized with regard to particle size distribution, particle shape, electrical conductivity, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The calcium hydroxide consumption by NPs was assessed firstly by electrical conductivity measurements of calcium hydroxide/NPs suspensions with calcium hydroxide excess. Evidence of pozzolanic reactivity of NPs is revealed in hydrated lime pastes, and low reactivity was observed in aqueous suspensions. The effects of 15, 25, and 35 wt.% of NPs as cement substitution on the properties of Portland cement mortars were investigated. Different properties were studied such as setting time, consistency, mechanical strength, pozzolanic activity, absorption by capillarity and resistance to carbonation. The reactivity of NPs was also assessed by means of the mechanical strength development of mortars. The results obtained show that pozzolanic and hydraulic reactions take place in OPC systems. The correlation between mechanical strengths and physical properties of NPs has been established. The study concludes that using DRNP and RNP at 15 wt. % cement replacement can ameliorate globally the performance of mortar. Using all NPs at 35 wt. % has negative effect on the fundamental properties of cementitious mortars.

Abstract:
In the study, raw materials including clinker, gypsum, pozzolan were separately milled on a ball mill (the ball mill size: φ500 mm × L500 mm, productivity: 5 kg / grinding time) to achieve the desired blaine fineness. A mixture is mixed at the calculated ratio includes of 90 % fineness clinker, 5 % fineness gypsum and 5 % fineness pozzolan (In it, pozzolanic additive is mixed at different fineness levels). The effects of the mixture of gypsum and fineness pozzolanic additive as well as the fineness of pozzolanic additive to strength of PCB50 Fico cement were investigated. The study shows that, pozzolanic additive have reduced the strength of cement. But, when pozzolanic additive is mixed with gypsum, this additive mixture has increased the strength of the cement at the late time (at the age of 28 days). The fineness of pozzolan has little effected on the early strength of cement.

Abstract:
Many of the waste materials produced from modem heavy industries are pozzalans, which develop cementitious properties when finely divided in the presence of free lime. This property allows a potential industrial use for this waste as a cement replacement material in concrete. An example of such a waste material is blast furnace slag from the smelting of iron and steel. The US produces 26 million tons of blast furnace slag annually. Most of the slag is slowly cooled in air and it makes a poor pozzolan. Only 1.6 million tons of the slag is available in the granulated form, which is suitable as a cementitious and pozzolanic admixture. Most European countries are well endowed with coal-fired power stations and this produces fly and bottom ash, flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) gypsum. However, less than 25% of the total ash from power stations has found an industrial use mainly in cement and concrete industry. This creates a massive waste-disposal problem. Disposal of unused fly ash in open tips and ponds, for example, creates pollution problems since the drainage of effluents from the ash in the deposit ponds threaten water supplies by polluting the ground water with traces of toxic chemicals. Recent research has concentrated on the alkali activation of waste pozzolanic materials, especially ground blast furnace slag. This thesis has investigated the alkali activation of low calcium fly ashes. These form very poor pozzolans and the alkali activation of the fly ash offers the opportunity for the large scale use of fly ash. Water glass was selected as a suitable activator for the fly ash. A comprehensive series of tests have been carried out to gain information on the effect of different parameters, such as proportion and composition of the constituent materials, curing conditions and casting methods, in developing high performance construction materials. Laboratory investigations were carried out to determine the following characteristics of alkali activated materials: density, water absorption, apparent porosity and coefficient of saturation, drying shrinkage, compressive creep, compressive, flexural and tensile splitting strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, accelerated weathering (freeze-thaw cycle) resistance, fire resistance (temperatures up to 600°C), microstructure, macrostructure and investigation of hydration phases by SEM, ED AX, Digital-mapping and X-ray diffraction. The influence of key parameters e.g. slag content, curing method, water/binder ratio and water glass hardener content on the mechanical properties were determined. Optimisation of the alkali-activation of fly ash materials was achieved by blending this with other pozzolans such as silica fume and slags. Mechanical properties were further improved by using moulding pressures and by thermal treatment. The use of short fibre reinforcements was investigated to overcome microcracking, volumetric deformation and creep in the materials. The free shrinkage and creep of the materials agree with the model developed by Mangat and Azari for fibre reinforced Portland cement composites. Other additives were also investigated to improve workability, frost and water resistance and physical properties of the alkali activated materials. The fundamental relationships between chemical composition, hydration phases,microstructure and engineering properties (strength, durability and stability) of alkali activated materials were investigated. It is clear that strength development is a function of the hydration products developed and these are affected by the mix composition and the curing temperature. The current work found parameters such as the Si/Al ratio, the Ca/Si ratio and the Na20 content to be important. These chemical parameters decide the principal phases in the hydration products formed in alkali activated materials, between calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and zeolite of the form (R[2]0 n Al[2]O[3] x SiO[2] r H[2]O).Overall the thesis shows the great potential of alkali activated materials to produce high strength construction materials. Limitation in the shrinkage of the materials can be overcome by the use of fibre reinforcement. At the end of the thesis limitations and suggestions for further work are made.

Abstract:
Self-consolidating concrete has been described as the most revolutionary development in concrete technology in several decades with the ability to flow freely through closely spaced reinforcements, expel entrapped air and self compact without vibration. Since it was first developed in Japan in the early 1980's, major development in the chemical admixture technology has made SCC more viable. An experimental study was conducted to identify the mechanical properties of SCC by optimizing the use of pozzolanic materials and local aggregates with some proposed statistical models. The research was focused to investigate compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and drying shrinkage behavior of concrete. The results were established experimentally and compared with the available SCC research data based on extensive literature study. Besides the improved mechanical performance, results indicate that the use of pozzolanic materials and local aggregate in SCC is recommended in terms of its cost benefit value.

Abstract:
Perlite is a volcanic glass which has high amount of silica and alumina. Those properties make it a candidate, if finely ground, for being used as a pozzolan. The studies on the pozzolanic properties of perlite are very limited, and none of them has dealt with the use of perlite in the blended cement production. The aim of this study is to investigate the pozzolanic properties of perlite, and if appropriate to investigate perlite&rsquo
s usability in blended cement production. For this purpose, perlites from two different sources &ndash
Izmir and Erzincan - are used as replacement of portland cement clinker with two different percentages: 20% and 30% by weight of total cement. Then for each different composition, materials are ground with some gypsum in order obtain grinding curves for the resultant cements. After obtaining the grinding curves, a total of 22 cements with two different finenesses are produced by intergrinding and separately grinding the materials for each composition. The obtained cements are used in paste and mortar production so that normal consistencies, setting times, autoclave expansions, and compressive strengths are determined.

Abstract:
Cement is the main ingredient in concrete, and the production of cement is a costly and energy absorbing process. In addition, production of cement ominously contributes to environmental pollution, as 1 ton of cement releases about 0.9 ton of CO2 in the atmosphere. Since cement is the material which is primarily responsible for the cost and the pollution, there is a critical need to develop materials which exhibit cementitious property and could be used as a substitute of cement. Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM), are substances which possess cementitious properties, hence they can be used as a partial/total replacement of cement. Recently, use of recycled material, such as waste glass powder (WGP), has received augmented attention in the concrete industry. At first, waste glass was used as an aggregate replacement in concrete and it was observed that the mechanical and durability properties of the modified concrete were degraded due to the increased potential of Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR). Later, literature studies have shown that ASR occurrence in concrete is dependent on the particle size distribution of the glass used. As the particle size decreases the ASR probability reduces. These results motivated the use of recycled glass powder (RGP) with microscopic particle size distribution as cement replacement. There are multiple benefits of using RGP as cement replacement: firstly, using a waste material would reduce the load on the landfills, secondly, the total cost would be less as recycled WGP is replacing the costly cement; and finally, the use of RGP would lead to sustainable construction as a consequence of a decrease in cement manufacturing. The present study deals with the experimental investigation on RGP as a pozzolanic cement. The Glass Powder (GP) used in this experiment was provided by the Australian company, Enviro Sand who supplied samples with two particle sizes of 75 μm and 150 μm for the purpose of this research. The main aim of this research project is to study the pozzolanic performance of GP having a particle size smaller than 150 μm. The current study involves an extensive experimental program which includes: density, compressive strength, tensile strength, pozzolanic activity, water absorption, chloride resistance, heat of hydration and drying shrinkage. Extensive concrete specimens of standard cube, cylinder and rectangular prism of standard dimensions are prepared to investigate the various material, strength and durability properties by varying the GP content. In addition, present experimental work consists of enhancing the pozzolanic performance of the GP by varying the curing conditions and modifying the mix design. In total, about 700 specimens were tested in three stages in this experimental research work The optimisations resulted in Strength Activity Index (SAI) of coarse GP which was comparable to the SAI values of much fine GP reported by the earlier published research works. Since a considerable amount of energy would be consumed in grinding the glass from coarse to fine, the grinding energy would in turn lead to increment in the cost and rise in harmful carbon di oxide emissions. The current research is significant owing to the multiple benefits mentioned in the previous paragraph, furthermore, locally, according to a recent report from Australian National Waste, Australia generates around 1.1 million tonnes of glass waste which is equivalent to about 45 kg glass per capita and approximately 44% of it is landfilled. This practice of dumping the glass waste in landfills is environmentally unsustainable, since glass is non bio-degradable in nature. The last stage mix design alteration resulted in a maximum SAI of 117%. In addition, it resulted in higher resistance to chloride ion penetration of 17% and about 23% lower heat of hydration than the control mix at 30% replacement of the coarse GP.

Abstract:
The use of high performance concrete in construction has been enhanced by the use of pozzolanic materials. However, the use of these materials has not been optimized. Such optimization may be achieved by a systematic increase in the amount and combination of pozzolanic material additions, with accompanying studies of their effects on the mechanical, durability and microstructural characteristics of blended concrete. This work evaluated various concrete durability issues by studying systematic increases of pozzolanic materials such as fly ash and blast furnace slag (BFS) in the range of 25, 50 and 70%, and silica fume at 10% of total cementitious materials, forming various binary and ternary concrete blends. The concrete specimens were cured for a period of seven days after demoulding in line with widely practiced commercial curing procedures. The research explored the role and effectiveness of various binary and ternary blends of pozzolanic materials on the mechanical, durability and microstructural characteristics of concrete. Durability was evaluated by two independent rapid chloride permeability tests measured as charge passed and chloride conductivity from the RCPT and UCT tests respectively. These two rapid tests were coupled with long-term ponding tests to evaluate chloride ingress and the extent of corrosion for a period of two years. Further durability tests such as carbonation, drying shrinkage and porosity of these blends were also undertaken. This study also utilized micro-analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy to follow the hydration mechanism in various binary and ternary blends. Statistical significance testing was used to analyse and confirm all experimental results and conclusions. It is well known that a level of caution is exercised in the construction industry in the use of ternary blends. This study aims to evaluate the durability aspects of ternary concrete blends, in addition to binary blends, for resistance to chloride, corrosion, carbonation attacks and provide recommendations relating to the limits of blending level, as well as exposure conditions for blended concretes, based on the results of this study. It is expected that this will fill a major knowledge gap observed in the concrete industry. A comparison of two rapid chloride permeability tests such as UCT and RCPT indicates that the UCT test is easy and practicable, and does not contradict results obtained in the standard RCPT. However, the statistical significance of results obtained for some blends was only able to be established by using the RCPT. This effect can be attributed to the larger size specimens compared to UCT. The recommended blend to acquire both early-age and long-term strength development in fly ash is the ternary blends comprising 10% silica fume and 25% fly ash cast using lower w/b ratio. In addition, the same blend exhibited lower carbonation depth, lower charge passed from RCPT, lower chloride ingress and higher corrosion resistance characteristics from long-term ponding test compared to other blends of fly ash. In BFS blends, an increase in compressive strength was observed only in the specimens of 25% BFS compared to other higher percentage blends, while the higher addition of 50 and 70% replacement showed no significant difference in compressive strength between them and their corresponding ternary blends with addition of silica fume. The results of this study indicate that control (OPC) specimens cast with increased w/b ratio of 0.48 showed higher chloride ingress compared to both binary blends of 70% fly ash and 70% BFS specimens. This indicates that (OPC) cast using higher w/b ratio is to be avoided in chloride environments. On the other hand, though, the ternary blends of 10% silica fume and up to 50% fly ash exhibited lower chloride ingress compared to their respective binary blends of fly ash. However, these ternary blends exhibited lower compressive strength, more negative corrosion potential and higher corrosion rate, compared to the respective binary blends of 25% fly ash and its ternary blends. Therefore, the recommended blend observed in the long-term ponding test is the ternary blend of 25% fly ash and 10% silica fume. The recommended level of corrosion resistance in slag specimens is achieved by the use of ternary blends comprising silica fume at 10% added to the blend that contains up to 70% slag. However, the recommended level of slag for a lower carbonation effect is the use of a ternary blend comprising 50% slag and 10% silica fume (3B5S1) which showed a carbonation depth of 10.8 mm and a compressive strength of 53.2 MPa after 365 days of exposure. The drying shrinkage of concrete increased with the increase in fly ash and the same trend was observed in BFS specimens. However, the results were not significantly different between their respective blends. The extent of carbonation in fly ash specimens was higher compared to BFS blends specimens. This can be attributed to the formation of dusty and weak surfaces on the outer surface in addition to the excessive leaching of sodium chloride solution from the long-term ponding test in the former specimens compared to later. The high volume pozzolanic materials, irrespective of fly ash or BFS and addition of silica fume (70% fly ash and 10% silica fume, and 70% BFS and 10% silica fume), showed higher cumulative pore volume indicating that these blends with seven days of curing were not beneficial. These high volume ternary blends required prolonged curing to release portlandite from the hydration of cement to continue the pozzolanic reaction. This study has shown that 7-days curing of the pozzolanic concrete is inadequate if pozzolanic activity is to be invoked. This is particularly the case when it is expected that the concrete is likely to be subjected to a harsher than usual environment characterised by a dry atmosphere.

Abstract:
Perlite is a glassy volcanic rock that contains approximately 70-75% silica and 12-18% alumina. There are very large perlite reserves in the world (~6700 million tons) and approximately two thirds of these is in Turkey. Due to its high amounts of silica and alumina, at the beginning of such a study, it seemed that it would be worth first to find out whether perlite possesses sufficient pozzolanic property when it is a finely divided form and then to investigate whether it could be used as a pozzolanic addition in producing blended cements. In this study, perlites from two different regions (izmir and Erzincan) were tested for their pozzolanic properties. After obtaining satisfactory results, grindability properties of the clinker, perlites and their different combinations were investigated. Several blended cements with different fineness values and different perlite amounts were produced by either intergrinding or separate grinding methods. The tests performed on the cement pastes and mortars containing the blended cements produced were as follows: Water requirement, normal consistency, setting time, soundness, compressive strength, rapid chloride permeability, resistance to sulfate attack and resistance to alkali-silica reactions. The results showed that Turkish perlites possess sufficient pozzolanic characteristics to be used in cement and concrete industry. Moreover, the properties tested in this study satisfied the requirements stated in the standards for blended cements. The durability of the mortars was found to be improved by 20% or more perlite incorporation.

Abstract:
The extent of the benefits provided by use of SCMs in cementitious systems increases as their percentage amounts in total binder increases. However, the proportion of SCMs in cementitious systems is limited, especially for natural pozzolans, by some factors such as increase in water requirement and decrease in rate of strength development. Therefore investigations are needed to increase the amount of natural pozzolans in blended cements or in concrete as much as possible without decreasing their performance. This aim requires studies on cementitious systems with more reactive natural pozzolans than widely-used ones. The objective of the study was to investigate the pozzolanic activity of natural zeolites (clinoptilolite) from two localities in Turkey, and properties of cementitious systems containing low (15%), moderate (35%) and high (55%) amount of them. The study covers characterization of the natural zeolites used, evaluation of their pozzolanic activity in comparison with some popular mineral admixtures, and properties of pastes, mortars, and concrete mixtures containing low, moderate, and high amounts of natural zeolites. Reactivity of the natural zeolites with Ca(OH)2 was found to be higher than those of the fly ash and the non-zeolitic pozzolan, but lower than that of the silica fume. Natural zeolite blended cements were characterized with the following highlighted properties
faster setting than portland cement, low amounts of Ca(OH)2 and capillary pores larger than 50 nm in hardened pastes, relatively dense microstructure of hardened paste than portland cement, more compatibility with melamine-based superplasticizer than being with naphthalene-based one, and excellent compressive strength performance. Concrete mixtures containing natural zeolites as partial replacement for portland cement were characterized with the following properties
7-day compressive strength of ~25 MPa and 28-day strength of 45-50 MPa with only 180 kg/m3 portland cement and 220 kg/m3 zeolite dosages (55% replacement), comparable modulus of elasticity with plain portland cement concrete, &ldquo
low&rdquo
and &ldquo
very low&rdquo
chloride-ion penetrability for low and large levels of replacement, respectively.

Abstract:
In recent years, scientific studies are carried out to find new refractory material. Having good mechanical properties under very high temperatures, refractories are widely used in industries like iron, steel, glass, cement and pottery. Researches are focused on monolithic refractory making because of their superior properties comparing to conventional firebrick refractories. Providing a mono-block body, having no joints makes the monolithic refractories more durable at elevated temperatures. Easier production and installation are two main points that people are choosing monolithic refractories, thus an economy is made. In this study, for monolithic refractory production, high alumina cement was used as binding material. It is known that the increase in alumina (Al2O3) content increases the high temperature resistance, so that crushed firebrick, having 85% Al2O3 was used as aggregate. Pozzolanic materials, which are silica fume, fly ash, ground granulated firebrick and ground granulated blast furnace slag, were added to improve physical and mechanical properties of mortar. With the addition of steel fibres, change in compressive strength and flexural strength was observed.Superplasticizer was used to understand its behaviour under high temperatures. Portland cement containing mortars were also prepared to make comparison with high alumina cement containing specimens. Specimens were prepared in 5x5x5 cm and 4x4x16 cm prisms. They were cured for one day at curing room, then heated to 105°
C and then heated to 1100°
C. Weight, size and ultrasound velocity change, compressive strength and flexural strength tests were done to determine physical and mechanical properties of the monolithic refractories, before and after heating. Heated and non-heated specimens were pulverized for microstructural investigation with X-Ray diffraction (XRD) method. Using high alumina cement with 50 &ndash
60 % granulated blast furnace slag or granulated firebrick, by the weight of cement, and crushed firebrick as aggregate, a satisfactory monolithic refractory material was made. It was observed that, mechanical properties were decreased at the Portland cement used mortars after several times of heating and cooling cycles. Also, it was determined that the microstructure of the high alumina cement containing mortars did not deteriorate much at 1100°
C, as long as there was no change observed from the results.

Resumo: O modo como são dispostos os resíduos gerados pela indústria, pela agropecuária e pela sociedade gera uma preocupação crescente. Muitas pesquisas têm sido desenvolvidas com a finalidade de diminuir o impacto que estes causam a sociedade e ao meio ambiente. Diversos resíduos têm sido estudados como materiais cimentícios suplementares para substituição de parte da quantidade de cimento, contribuindo para a redução de áreas de aterro e também na diminuição da emissão de CO2 associada à produção de cimento Portland, que é responsável por cerca de 5% a 8% da emissão global de CO2. Um destes resíduos industriais é a cerâmica vermelha, proveniente do descarte de olarias. O objetivo geral dessa pesquisa é estudar a aplicação de resíduo cerâmico proveniente de olarias em misturas de solo-cimento para estabilização de um solo laterítico, avaliando a resistência à compressão, o efeito de expansão e contração, o potencial hidrogeniônico, a condutividade elétrica, a microestrutura e a proporção ideal de mistura (solo + resíduo cerâmico + cimento Portland). Os resultados mostram ganho de resistência e menor contração/expansão para as misturas com cimento, em relação ao solo puro. E que mesmo com a substituição de parte do cimento por resíduo cerâmico, a resistência praticamente não se altera, devido a reação pozolânica existente entre a cerâmica e o hidróxido de cálcio, o que é confirmado nos ensaios de pH e condutividade elétrica e por imagens obtidas por meio de microscopia eletrônica de...

Abstract: The waste generated by industry, agriculture and society is a growing concern. Much research has been carried out to reduce the impact on society and the environment. Several residues have been studied as supplementary cementitious materials to replace part of the amount of cement, contributing to the reduction of landfill areas and also to the reduction of CO2 emissions associated with the production of Portland cement, which accounts for about 5% of 8% of global CO2 emissions. One of these industrial wastes is red ceramics from the disposal of potteries. The general objective of this research is to study the application of different percentages of the mixture of ceramic residue with Portland cement in the stabilization of a lateritic soil, evaluating the compressive strength, expansion and contraction effect, permeability, hydrogenation potential, electrical conductivity, the microstructure and the ideal mixing ratio (soil + ceramic residue + Portland cement). The results show increased strength and lower contraction / expansion for cement additions, relative to pure soil. And even with the replacement of part of the cement by ceramic waste, the strenght is practically unchanged due to the pozzolanic reaction between the ceramic and the calcium hydroxide, which is confirmed in the pH and electrical conductivity tests and the images of scanning electron microscopy.

Abstract:
The improvement in the impermeability of concrete was studied using different methods. The main aim was to investigate impermeability improvement of concrete and to compare these methods. Two different methods were examined to investigate and compare impermeability and strength improvement of concrete by using two different sets of concrete specimens. These methods included the application of coating materials to concrete and the production of concrete using different constituent amounts and types. The first set of concrete specimens was prepared by applying two different coating materials (a coating material including both powder and liquid components
and a coating material including only a liquid component) on reference concrete specimens separately. The second set of concrete specimens was prepared using different proportions of concrete constituents such as cement, water, steel and plastic fibers, mineral and chemical concrete admixtures. Various tests were conducted on both sets of concrete specimens in order to compare the permeability of concrete specimens. However, some of these tests v were not applied on all of the specimens because of test and material specifications. The tests were used to evaluate compressive strength, water absorption, chloride ion penetration and depth of water penetration under pressure. These test methods were carried out on concrete cube specimens and concrete cores taken from those specimens according to the relevant standards. It was found that the permeability of the concrete specimens decreased significantly when the coating material which was composed of the combination of powder and liquid components was applied on concrete specimens. However, permeability did not decrease significantly for concrete specimens coated with the coating material composed of only a liquid component. Significant improvement in the impermeability of the concrete specimens was observed when the amount of cement was increased, the water-to-cement ratio was decreased, mineral admixtures (silica fume and fly ash) and plasticizers were used. This improvement was associated with densification of the concrete microstructure and reduction in capillary pores as a result of pozzolanic reaction and due to reduction in water-to-cement ratio. Coating materials were determined to be effective for concretes with high permeability prior to coating whereas their effect was less significant for lower-initial permeability concretes. Moreover, the effect of coating materials on permeability differed depending on their chemical compositions. The effect of using steel fibers and plastic fibers for the improvement of concrete impermeability was found to be insignificant.

Abstract:
Abstract This study is focused on the application of novel pozzolans (superplasticizers) ahead of cement, prior to casing and while drilling to treat and prevent wellbore fracture due to overburden stresses. This study is a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis based on laboratory and field applications of pozzolanic materials in the construction of wells. Pozzolans have long been applied to construction materials in order to improve lifespan and compressive strength. The application of pozzolanic materials goes back over 2000 years to the construction of Roman Aqueducts, buildings and roads known for their longevity and ability to resist corrosion and stress. These materials cover a broad range of naturally occurring and man-made materials. The most common pozzolanic materials used in drilling today include Bentonite, Kaolin, and Fly Ash. Pozzolans when combined with Portland Cement have been shown to increase the compressive strength and durability dramatically. Pozzolans are currently applied globally in cementing applications for HTHP, high loss zones and more. This paper will examine the application in the drilling phase as an applied treatment during drilling for the reinforcement of the wellbore as well as to treat induced losses. The study will review cases for use of Novel Pozzolans for drilling, pre-cement, casing and for production zones the application of Novel acid soluble pozzolans for similar purposes. These applications validate the application of these materials beyond cementing into the drilling phase and wellbore construction for reducing backside pressure, reducing days on losses, reducing sidetrack, increasing operational ECD while drilling and cementing and achieving top of cement without inducing losses due to overburden in tight ECD window environments. Deepwater environments provide a unique environment for the application of these novel materials as they offer some of the highest overburden environments with greatest operating costs and daily operating costs. Thusly this study has shown the applications have saved operators on multiple wells and over long periods many days and millions in operating costs with proven prevention of losses in field studies where wells were compared for offset value over a period of time. Multiple operators have adopted this technology as a result and there is a long track record of use while there are few papers on the subject. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the best practices as well as new technologies and state of the art when it comes to the development of the latest in pozzolanics for these applications.

Abstract:
Silica fume (SF) is used as a constituent to formulate cementitious materials for subsurface (oil-well) applications, e.g. by the offshore industry. Using green supplementary pozzolanic materials like silica fume could both improve the material’s performance and the footprint of the sustainable solution. X-ray diffraction and isothermal calorimetry were employed to investigate the evolution of cement paste hydration (water to binder ratio 0.44) after 14 h, 3, 7, and 28 days of curing. Experimental results are presented for both cement pastes made of Class G Portland cement and for a blended paste system where 8% of the Class G cement has been replaced by silica fume. The results indicate beneficial effects of SF on the microstructural development of the slurry.

Abstract:
Abstract In the oil and gas and geothermal industry, a barrier material is pumped behind the casing to fill the annular gap between the casing and formation/outer casing. After placement, this slurry is solidified rapidly, and it functions to seal the annular space and protects the casing during the lifecycle of the well. In this article, four different barrier materials namely expansive cement, non-cement pozzolan-based material, geopolymer, and thermosetting resin are examined under equal conditions. The long-term mechanical properties of the candidate materials were tested by measuring uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), tensile strength, and Young’s modulus. These properties were measured at seven different time intervals, from one day to nine months after curing at a bottomhole static temperature of 90 °C and pressure of 170 bars. The change in the mechanical properties was further investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. The results were benchmarked with the properties of the API neat class G cement as non-commercial reference material. Our results show that the neat class G cement had a consistent behavior in most of the test period, and its UCS was dropped by 23 % after nine months compared to six months. The expansive cement had no significant change in mechanical properties, but the expansive crystal can weaken the structure, especially close to the boundaries with the cement matrix. The pozzolanic material and geopolymer did not develop early strength. The pozzolanic material reached a plateau after seven days, while the geopolymer developed strength up to six months. The thermosetting resin had the highest UCS and tensile strength up to one month, but its mechanical properties were started to deteriorate from seven days after curing.

Abstract:
As the most widely used construction material, concrete is very durable and can provide long service life without extensive maintenance. The strength and durability of concrete are primarily influenced by the initial water-cement ratio value (w/c), and the curing condition during the hardening process also influences its performance. The w/c value is defined as the total mass of free water that can be consumed by hydration divided by the total mass of cement and any additional pozzolanic material such as fly ash, slag, silica fume. Once placed, field concrete pavements are routinely cured with liquid membrane-forming compounds. For laboratory study, concrete samples are usually cured in saturated lime water or a curing room with a relative humidity (RH) value higher than 95%. Thus, the effectiveness of curing compounds for field concrete needs to be studied. In this study, the dielectric constant value of plastic concrete was measured by ground penetrating radar (GPR). The w/c value of the plastic concrete was calculated by a mathematical model from the measured dielectric constant value. The calculated w/c value was compared with the microwave oven drying measurement determined result in AASHTO T318. A modified coarse aggregate correction factor was proposed and applied in microwave oven drying measurement to determine the w/c value of plastic concrete in AASHTO T318. The effectiveness of curing compound was evaluated by field concrete slabs by GPR measurement. It was found that GPR can be a promising NDT method for In this study, the dielectric constant value of plastic concrete was measured by ground penetrating radar (GPR).
