Full textRecycled concrete aggregates (RCA) contain, due to their origin, residual cement paste which gives them high porosity and moderate performance. The porosity leads to a strong water absorption. This is a major difficulty on the industrial level because it complicates the adjustment of water in concrete batches, which allows to control their workability in production. The RCA manufacturing process results in having more paste in the finer particles and therefore more absorption. As a result, while the industry today recycles coarse RCA into concrete relatively well, it uses small amounts of RCA sand because of their greater porosity. Yet, during the manufacture of RCA, about 50% sand and 50% coarse aggregates are obtained. Consequently, the porosity of RCA sand hinders the circular economy of concrete. A number of techniques have been proposed for removing or improving the residual cement paste, but they are expensive. The natural carbonation of RCA by atmospheric CO2 helps with decreasing their water absorption by obstructing their porosity, but this is a several month reaction. Research is ongoing to make accelerated carbonation (by concentrating CO2, for example) on an industrial scale. The present work explores an alternative idea, which consists in forming in a few days, using biocalcifying bacteria, a matrix of CaCO3 around the RCA and especially the sand part, in order to limit the access of water to their porosity. First, candidate non-pathogenic bacteria were identified, selected, adapted to the alkaline medium of RCA, then we checked their ability to produce CaCO3. In a second step, we detemined the conditions, which favor uniform bacterial colonization and production of CaCO3 on the surface of model agar media. Homogeneity is indeed mandatory to obtain good water tightness. We thus confirmed the value of selecting bacteria capable of producing biofilm. Finally, the methods developed were applied to model mortar disks facilitating visual observations. Preliminary results confirm that it is possible to significantly lower the absorption of these mortars within one month. Further work is needed to confirm these encouraging results on sand part of RCA

Full textThe sustainability of primary resources is subjected to continuous threat via the construction industry. In fact, the amount of construction and demolition waste (CDW) produced and dumped into landfills is increasing each year. This situation forced the concrete industry to generate effective solutions such as implementing CDW as recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) to produce new types of concrete. Furthermore, a recent life cycle assessment study proved that the concrete made of RCA presents the best environmental behavior. CDW is currently used in the road and sidewalks construction and maintenance, however it needs more time and further investigations before using it completely as RCA in new concrete for building construction field because of their poor porosity properties. The recycling of the totality of the RCA in order to be used as new materials to produce new recycled concrete opens nowadays new environmental, economic and technological perspectives. Many scientific obstacles need to be studied in order to solve these perspectives. The re-use of the CDW as RCA will allow the limitation of the extraction of the raw materials and preserving the natural aggregates fields. In this thesis, we will be studying the fraction 1-4 mm of the RCA called recycled sand (RS). The water absorption of the RS influences the fresh and the hardened properties of mortar. Therefore, it is hard to maintain a constant W/C ratio since there is two phenomena during the fabrication of mortar: the absorption kinetic of the RS and the hydration reaction of the cement. In addition, the use of the RS leads to a decrease in the compressive strength and the durability properties of mortar. This decrease is controlled by three parameters: the porosity of the RS, the properties of the new cement paste and the properties of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ).The thesis proposed by the laboratory FM2D / MaST (IFSTTAR) is entitled ‘Effect of the treatment of the recycled sand on the properties of mortar’. This research subject is a comparison study between the behavior of treated recycled sand mortar and non-treated recycled sand mortar. In order to solve the problem of the use of recycled sand new mortar, we suggest two approaches:-Determining an optimal saturation state of the recycled sand in order to obtain a constant effectif W/C ratio.-Enhancing the microstructure of the RS using chemical products before using it in formulating new mortar. The treatment process proposed in this research consists of testing different chemical products with different concentrations using different application methods and different application times. The aim behind the chemical treatments proposed is, firstly, to decrease the value of the water absorption coefficient of the RS. The fresh and the hardened properties (compressive strength, durability properties, shrinkage) of mortar made with the treated RS (100% volume substitution) will be studied and compared to the properties of mortar made of non-treated RS and finally with the normalized mortar.The results obtained during this research indicate a success of the chemical treatment. The WAC of the RS decreased and the fresh and hardened properties of the mortar as well as it durability properties were enhanced compared to the mortar made of non-treated RS

Full textVery large quantities of construction and demolition wastes and especially concrete wastes are produced yearly. At the same time, high amounts of natural aggregates are needed for construction industry. Up to now, only a small fraction of these concrete wastes is re-used as recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for the manufacture of concrete. RCA are composed of an intimate mix between aggregates and hardened cement paste (HCP). Hardened cement paste is much more porous than the natural aggregates and the properties and proportions of HCP largely influence the properties of RCA. As a consequence, the fine fraction of RCA (FRCA), essentially composed of mortar and cement paste, possesses a large water demand which makes it harder to recycle into concrete.The objective of this research is to better understand the role played by HCP on the properties of RCA in relation with the improvement of the characterization methods of these materials and their reuse in the manufacture of mortar or concrete. Firstly, an experimental method based on salicylic acid dissolution allowing to determine HCP content of FRCA is developed. FRCA properties are then studied as a function of hardened cement paste content, particle sizes and properties/composition of the original concrete. From the obtained relationship between water absorption and cement paste content, the water absorption coefficient of the smaller fraction (0/0.63mm) can be estimated whereas it is difficult to measure. Secondly, different industrial RCA are characterized which allows us to expand the preceding conclusions to “real RCA”, meanwhile, the influence of carbonation on the properties of FRCA is also carried out. Finally, the influence of the saturation state of FRCA on the properties of fresh and hardened mortars and on their microstructure is explored. The recycled mortars with dry FRCA have better compressive strength than that with saturated FRCA, which is confirmed by the study of ITZ properties. The mechanical properties of mortars with different RCA content and replacement fraction are determined. The finer fraction of RCA has a worse influence on the mechanical properties of RAC than the coarser fraction

Full textThe increased interest in concrete recycling results from a willingness to reconcile the construction industry with sustainability. Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) consist of a mix of natural aggregates and attached cement. The high porosity of RCA modifies the effective water content of a recycled concrete at the expense of its fresh and hardened performances. A testing method based on spread measurements is suggested to follow quantitatively water transfers between RCA sand and a fresh cement paste. This protocol is tested on cement paste sands (CPS) having 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 water/cement ratios (W/C). Results show that the saturation degree of CPS embedded in a filler paste reaches a maximum no later than 6 minutes then remains quasiconstant. The saturation degree increases with the W/C of CPS ratios but remains less than 1. Moreover, similar water transfer kinetics are found whether initially dry CPS are immersed in a filler or a cement paste. The established protocol assumes a correlation between spread and effective water content of a mortar. In order to study this correlation, on the one hand, under the lubrication approximation, the yield stress of mortars is calculated from their spread radius. On the other hand, yield stress of mortars is calculated using a biphasic modelling of mortars viewed as non-colloidal suspensions in a yield stress fluid. Consistency between the two approaches is examined

Full textRecycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are not enough used in the construction sector, mainly because of their high water absorption capacity. These fine particles are composed of crushed natural aggregate and adherent hardened cement paste. The first part of this work consists in valuing particles smaller than 4 mm of an RCA in a mortar composition. Thus, the fresh and hardened behavior of mortar performed with recycled fine aggregate and model natural aggregate have been compared. The natural model fine aggregate has been performed to have an equivalent physical characteristics with the recycled one. This approach helped to understand the hardened behavior of the mortar made with recycled fine aggregate. The second part of this work consists in finding a recovery track for particles smaller than 125 μm of RCA, the goal is to use them as mineral addition. A characterization work show that the recycled powder is porous, thus a theoretical model and an experimental methodology allowing to estimate this porosity are developed. Finally, a comparison between mortar made with a limestone powder, and a recycled powder are compared. The results show that the recycled powder can be used as mineral additive in mortar composition

Full textThe use of recycled concrete aggregate (i.e. aggregate produced from concrete demolition rubble) has a significant impact on the mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete members. This work focuses on the influence of recycled concrete aggregate on rebar-concrete bond. First, an analytical madel of the rebar-concrete bond is developed. The original feature of this modellies in the limited number of non-free physically-based parameters on which it is based. These parameters are then experimentally determined through a pull out test campaign. Three types of concrete, including two recycled aggregate concretes, are studied. Pull-out test monitoring is completed by acoustic measurements in order to obtain data from inside the concrete bulk, where the reinforcing bar is located

Full textThis paper presents test results of mechanical properties of fibre reinforced sand-concrete (BSP) formulated to be used in the sprayed wet-mix process, as a substitution to fibre reinforced concrete (BOP) sprayed by dry-mix process. This process of application of concrete is suitable for diverse applications such underground support and slope stabilization. In BOP, formulated with aggregates up to 8 mm, both material and fibre rebounds are high (50 %); this results in economic implications, and affects the performances of the mixture negatively.BSP formulated with low dosage of cement, sand and high content of limestone filler, but without coarse aggregate; seems to be indicated to alleviate most of these problems, because of its fineness, high cohesiveness, high fluidity and better homogeneity. BSP was investigated and compared with BOP, on the basis of fresh and hardened properties with special emphasis on rebound, compressive strength and drying shrinkage. Results of investigations showed many advantages of this new mixture (BSP) when compared to BOP: reduction of material and fibre rebounds by approximately 50%, relatively substantially thicker layers (9 cm vs 6 cm), good finishing surface, higher early age compressive strength, and long term drying shrinkage close to that of BOP.Comparison of the results shows that the endogenous shrinkage of BOP, BSP and vibrated concrete (BV) is similar.On the other hand, the present study showed that a low amount of steel fibre (50 Kg/m3)reduces the drying shrinkage of BSP by approximately 16%.While, in the case of BOP, the influence is not significant.The aim of this study is to bring some answers to the questions about the delayed deformation of the shooting sand-concrete [BSP], which is made of aggregates up 5 mm.Drying shrinkage results, revealed that drying shrinkage of BSP is higher than that of BV in the short term. In the long term, it becomes lower than that of BV. However, the BSP loses more water during the period of shrinkage measurements than BV. Furthermore, pore size distribution shows that the mesoporous structure of BSP lost more water than the bimodal structure of BV, which includes macropores and mesopores. These particular porometric structures of BSP and BV are the main factor behind the difference of the drying shrinkage behaviour of the two mixtures.This is an interesting and unexpected result, which is not in accordance with the commonly accepted relationship between shrinkage and weight change of samples, and between moisture loss and porometric structure. This work provides an explanation for this phenomenon by taking into account the kinetics of drying and the porometry of the concrete

Full textThe concrete consumption has been becoming more and more important due to the increase of urbanization requiring the rehabilitation and the construction of buildings and infrastructure. Nevertheless, the concrete production that accompanies the urban development leads to many environmental problems related to the preservation of natural resources which are not inexhaustible. Despite of recycling efforts, most of recycled materials are typically used for road works or embankment. By participating in the French National Project Recybéton, this thesis aims to assess the enhancement of recycling materials issued from deconstructed concretes by incorporating them in new concrete design. Two types of recycled materials will be studied, the powder produced in large quantities during the crushing phase of demolished concrete, and the aggregates (sand and gravel) whose the most part issued from the initial natural aggregates. Therefore, research study aims to quantify the properties of cementitious materials in various states by the use of: • recycled aggregates in the granular skeleton, grinded recycled concrete sand and powder of dust removal as supplementary cementing materials. The first part is dedicated to the study of the influence of moisture states of recycled aggregates (sand and gravel) on the concrete's rheology evolution in time and the study of their impact on 28 days compressive strength. The results obtained within the limit of experimental context will allow suggesting recommendations on the initial moisture state of recycled aggregates and their incorporation's rate in the concrete mix. The second part presents the evaluation of the feasibility of using grinded recycled concrete sand and crushed concrete powder (industrially recovered) as supplementary cementing materials. From the results, it will be possible to assess the extent that these fines are compatible with cement matrix in the fresh state, hardening state and hardened state. The third part proposes a way to limit the problem of Alkali-Aggregate Reaction (AAR) in recycled concrete. The strategy is based on two methods. The first insists to verify the applicability of the FD P18-464 documentation when using recycled aggregates. The second examines the interest in the use of mineral additives to limit or even prevent the AAR

Full textSands produced from demolition wastes (RCA) have a significant porosity due to the residual mortar resulting from the primary concrete. This is a brake on their recycling in concrete, as would be desirable to develop the circular economy of the sector. The natural carbonation byair of RCA is known to improve their performance. On the other hand, it is very slow and the associated storage constraints are not industrially acceptable. In addition,calcifying bacteria have been used for years to improve soils or monumental stones. In this context, the object of this thesis is to develop a method of accelerated calcification by deposition of bacteria on the surface of RCA This thesis is divided in 2 phases:- Selection and adaptation to pH12 of alkalophilic bacteria with the study of their growth and theirCaCO3 production yield, in vitro, in different environments (pH, urea or not, calcium concentration…) - RCA and mortar disk treatment with different processes whose efficiency is evaluated by a diminution of the material porosity. At the end of this work, a bacterial strain with a satisfying calcific production in contact with RCA was identified. However, the porosity reduction of the treated RCA porosity remains limited. The observations made show that this is linked to a heterogeneous deposit of calciumproduct on the surface of RCA. To conclude this work,several areas to be explored are proposed to improve the process

Full textThe south of Algeria is known for these immense sand dunes which cover part of its territory (the Sahara). This sand present of the characteristics which make it possible to foresee a valorization in the field of construction in the form of concrete with Ultra High Performances (UHPC). This type of concrete uses in great quantity of the silica fume, ultrafine addition which confers its very high performances to him, but which is also relatively rare and expensive. Its replacement by another addition with equivalent properties, such as the metakaolin, can also be considered. The objective of this study is thus at the same time to develop the sand of dune of the Western erg of the western south of Algeria but also to reduce the manufacturing costs of the Concretes with Ultra High Performances while incorporating in it of the metakaolin in the place of the silica fume. The performances to be determined are mechanical performances instantaneous, in compression and inflection, and differed, in the form of shrinkage and of creep, as well as properties of durability. Initially, we characterized Algerian sands of dune. Then, we proceeded in the search of a formulation of UHPC, adequate in term of implementation and allowing replacing the silica fume by the metakaolin. Lastly, we studied the valorisation itself of the sand of dune. The concretes obtained present very high mechanical performances, going until a resistance in compression of 250 MPa, a resistance in traction by inflection of 45 MPa and a tensile strength direct from approximately 20 MPa, with the mode of suitable heat treatment. They present also a very good differed behaviour, including under load, as well as excellent indicators of durability. This study shows that the valorization of the sand of dune studied is completely possible in the UHPC, and in particular the fiber UHPC, and that the replacement of the silica fume by the metakaolin do not deteriorate the properties of these concretes

Full textThe work presented in this thesis, compares the behavior of the fluid concrete to the ordinary one with the exactly the same strength of the free strain of concrete. The bibliographical study, presented in this work, had permitted to analyze the tree principal models used to describe the shrinkage The monitoring of the drying process of microscope and the analysis of their porometry, of the mono modal type, were thus shown. The drying shrinkage of sand concrete has a kinetic which does not greatly differ from of ordinary concrete, however the sand concrete amplitude is almost twice that ordinary concrete. The autogenously shrinkage of the two concrete are almost identical. We have study simu1tanemet the shrinkage at different conditions (T= 2 0° and 30°C) and humidity (HR=50, 60, 70, 9(0 %) and their lost of height. Another important result found is that the desiccation of the sand concrete occurs without major cracking. This is explaining by the velocity and essentially by the uniformity

Full textImproved techniques of characterization of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and a better understanding of the properties of concrete based on RCA would promote their use. The aim of this work is to study the influence of the state of saturation of RCA, especially of recycled sand, on the fresh and hardened behavior of mortars. The first part of this work is dedicated to the study of water absorption of recycled sand (RS) by different methods. The results show that the water absorption of RS is greater than that of natural sand (NS). However, the water absorption value of the RS is closely related to the used method and the pre-saturation mode. The second part is dedicated to the influence of the saturation state of aggregates on the workability of mortars. The results show that the initial saturation state, the pre-saturation mode and the pre-saturation time significantly influence the workability of the mortars. The influence of the saturation state of recycled aggregates on the hardened behavior of mortar is then studied with two mortars based on recycled dry or over-saturated sand. The microstructure is explored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) followed by image analysis and by indentation test under the SEM. The compressive strength of mortars containing RS is lower than that of mortars made with NS. Moreover, the initial saturation state of RS does not influence significantly the compressive strength of mortars, the mean porosity of the new interfacial transition zone (ITZ) and the micro-hardness of the cement matrix. However, the saturation state influences significantly the distribution of meso-porosity in the new ITZ

Full textThe calcium silicate materials are obtained by careful mixed dosage of Lime and quartz crushed then molded by compression and acted on by vapour inside an autoclave. Using a sand-reference, the study shows that mechanical strengths of calcium silicate concrete increase proportionally with the intensity of pressing of fresh mix, and with the lime/sand (Ca(OH)2)/Si02) ratio. We note that for each pressings Level corresponds an optimum of lime for which the compressive strength is maximum. The hydrated calcium silicate CC-S-H) which is formed is probably the C2 S Ho,35· It is badly crystallised but nevertheless is detectable by X diffraction. The quantity of C-S-H formed and the mechanical characteristics depend of the sand (reference or two Tunisian sands Boujafar and Kledia) and of the conservation's conditions : air at 20°C, 60° c and water at 60°C. The study of the density, the capillary absorption and the compressive elasticity modulus permits, with the mechanical strengths, to locate the calcium silicate concrete in the area of materials

Full textThis work is part of the ANR VBD ECOREB which aims with the project PN RECYBETON to remove the technological locks for the use of recycled aggregates for the formulation of structural concretes.For this study, six concretes of recycled aggregates corresponding to two classes of compressive strength C25 / 30 and C35 / 40 and S4 class of workability are developed. These mixtures, defined in the framework of the PN RECYBETON, are derived from two reference formulations by substituting partially or completely the natural aggregates with materials resulting from the recycling of concretes. An experimental program was carried out to determine the properties of concrete in fresh state and hardened state. The results of mechanical tests show that for the same class of compressive strength, the incorporation of recycled aggregates into the concrete induces a decrease in the tensile strength and the elastic modulus as well as an increase in the peak and ultimate strains. Under loading-unloading compression, the damage at the peak stress increases when the substitution rate is high while the damage rate becomes lower The creep tests carried out on beams loaded under three-point bending indicate that creep kinetics are influenced by the presence of recycled aggregates and is accelerated as the replacement rate is important.The experimental results of the present study together with an extensive number of results reported in the literature have allowed evaluating the current relationships used for predicting mechanical properties of recycled concrete aggregates (RAC). The validity of many analytical expressions of the stress-strain relationship has been also studied and the effect of replacement ratio was taken into account. It was pointed out that design codes relationships dedicated to assess the mechanical properties and the stress-strain compressive curve of natural aggregates concretes (NAC) are not adequate to predict the behavior of recycled aggregates concrete (RAC). It is established that these properties are related to fcm and to a parameter, which takes into account the effect of the recycled aggregates. The comparison between the stress-strain curves obtained in this thesis and some models shows that, with the proposed modifications, these models satisfactorily describe the behavior up to failure

Full textOn the one hand, against a backdrop of deposits lack and depletion of natural resources in terms of aggregates and, on the second hand, in the presence of abundant marine material from dredging operations, the emerging idea is to recover these wastes in a cement matrix for two applications: standard sand concrete and aggregates. From this perspective, our interest is to propose an alternative to conventional concrete for some applications. The formulation study is a complex task and the nature of the basic materials accentuates it further. The study consists to propose a new formulation method of standard sand concrete. Given the extensive granular, the incorporation of a filler is judicious and essential both for technical reasons such as improving the compactness and economic such as reducing the cement mixture. Through the characterization phase of our sand concrete, several test protocols have been established to highlight the qualities of this material and promote its current use. To describe the behavior of our concrete sand, we carried out characterization towards several phenomena that is: compressive strength, tensile strength, static and dynamic elasticity modulus, consistency, hydration at early ages, shrinkage on drying kinetics, microstructure and quantification of different forms of water in the cement matrix. In a similar manner, we proposed a methodology formulation of aggregates based on the same materials as concrete sand. The aggregates tested were manufactured by extrusion. The results of characterizations of concrete and aggregates sand are very promising

Full textFine recycled aggregates are an important waste steam coming from the demolition of old concrete structures. They are up to now not valorized because of an increased water absorption, lower density and higher fines content compared to natural aggregates. Moreover, they often have a high sulfate concentration. These sulfates could have originated from plaster in a demolished building, or from the residual cement that is commonly present in these materials. The sulfate level of recycled aggregates is recommanded to stay under 0.2 mass% by standard EN206, to limit the risk on sulftate attack: the reaction between cement components, water and sulfates results in the formation of expansive minerals such as ettringite. This expansion can eventually lead to cracking of the material and a general loss in mechanical performances. Fine recycled aggregates from recycling plants did contain 0.15 to 0.80 % of sulfates which is more than allowed, but these amounts did not cause any swelling or degradation when the aggregates were incorporated into mortars. A very elevated sulfate content of 3 % was needed to observe significant expansion, and even this level of contamination could be mitigated by increasing the alkalinity of a mix. Concretes made with varying sulfate levels either expanded or they didn’t: the absolute swelling amount was not proportional to its sulfate content. The actual threshold concentration that started the swelling reaction was dependant on the type of coarse aggregate. The results of this study provide recommandations for the use of fine recycled aggregates contaminated with gypsum residues : a sulfate content of at least 0.3 % could be possible, and even more if certain parameters and mix compositions can be adjusted accordingly. The current limit of 0.2 % seems too strict and hinders the valorization of fine recycled aggregates in high quality construction applications

Full textComposed of several components (natural aggregates and adherent cement paste), RCA are not widely recommended in new concrete formulations. Their poor properties considerably complicate the determination of the effective water in fresh concrete. In a first part, a bibliographic study will highlight the wide dispersion of the results of characterization tests of RCA and the properties of fresh and hardened recycled concrete. In a second part, the heterogeneity of RCA and crushed concrete aggregates (CCA) is studied according to different parameters: granular impurities, density, cement paste content, mixing of parent concrete, and water absorption capacity according to their pre-humidification. The third part consists of three experimental studies that intend to improve effective water control in the manufacture of recycled concrete. The absorption kinetics of CCA in a cement paste is first studied. Then, the evolution of effective water in fresh concrete during mixing is studied using an original method based on the power evolution of the mixer. Finally, the effect of vacuum mixing on the properties of ordinary and recycled concretes is investigated
Yin, Kexin. "Influence of clay fraction on the mechanical behavior of a soil-concrete interface." Thesis, Ecole centrale de Nantes, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021ECDN0015.
Full textIn geotechnical engineering, the soil-structure interface is an important aspect to take into account in soil structure interactions because it relates to the stability of the supported structure. In particular, the mechanical behaviour of the interface plays a key role in the design of civil engineering structures and their analysis over time. The interface is a thin zone of soil in contact with the structure where major stresses and strains develop in. To our knowledge, previous works on the characterization of the mechanical behaviour of the soil-structure interface mainly include typical soils (sand or clay) or natural soils, in contact with variable structural materials (concrete, steel, wood). However, natural soils are very complex, partly due to geological heterogeneities, and the mechanical response of typical soils do not always represent accurately intermediate soils between sand and clay. Previous studies on the mechanical behavior of those soils are significantly represented in the literature, especially in experimental research, however it is rather poorly documented on the interface between these soils and structural materials, whereas their response to mechanical loadings is different. Moreover, at the engineering scale, there is still a lack of understanding on how this interface behave along loaded pile within soils between sand and clay, numerically, and experimentally due to instrumentation restrictions along the pile. The objective of this thesis is to characterize the mechanical behaviour of the soil-structure interface for intermediate soils between sand and clay, both by experiments at the laboratory scale and by models at the engineering scale. Artificial mixtures of silica sand and kaolinite-rich clay are chosen to represent intermediate soils in this study. For this propose, the research is organized in a first and main experimental campaign that aims to investigate the effect of the clay content, from 0% (sand) to 100% (clay) on the mechanical behavior of a soil-concrete interface by a new interface direct shear device in the laboratory. A particular attention is given to the design of the setup, and to the investigation of four sample preparations to insure an optimize sample homogeneity. A second and numerical campaign is performed to input the results from the experimental campaign, to model the mechanical response of the interface between sand-clay soils and a lateral concrete loaded pile at the engineering scale. A new subroutine of a MATLAB finite element code is implemented to perform the numerical modelling of the interface’s response via the p-y curves. The characterization of the mechanical behaviour of the soil-structure interface at different clay and sand fractions allows to enlighten the role of soil microstructure at the soil-structure interface on the stability of civil engineering structures

Full textThe objective of this work is to study the effect of the quantity of fillers on the rheological, mechanical and dimensional properties of calcareous concretes. These concretes were made with the same coarse aggregates and same sand coming from the same production, in order to avoid any artifact. Sand was used to manufacture five sands representative of the categories defined in the EN 12260 norm for aggregates for concretes, by mixture with its fine fraction or its grained fraction extracted beforehand by washing. The employed sands contain approximately 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 % of fillers. The concretes were formulated with the BetonlabPro2 software, whose algorithms take into account the presence of the fillers limestones. Concretes were realized at first without superplastifiant, then in the presence of a superplastifiant measured in 2/3 of saturation. The obtained results showed that a quantity of fillers limestones from 100 to 130 kg/m3 for the concretes and from 60 to 80 kg / m3 for superplasticizred concretes allows obtaining optimal properties, in equal consistency. But, higher quantities of fillers do not deteriorate significantly the properties of the concretes, even if their packing density decreases. One explains this behavior not only by the binding effect allotted to the fillers limestones, but also by an improvement of the paste-aggregates bond. Mixtures containing the strongest rates of fillers were again studied to formulate self compacting concretes SCC, which require a big quantity of fillers. Crushed sands bring then the major part of this constituent, what opens to them a new way of use
