These initial geometry imperfections can come from the slender structure that cannot maintain its perfect shape or lousy quality during the assembly process. Most researchers generate the initial geometry imperfection from the elastic buckling modes that may not represent the randomness in the geometric imperfection. Therefore, there is a need to develop a method to generate random initial geometry imperfection without carrying out elastic buckling modes from the analysis.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 This paper investigated the shear buckling behavior of CWSPG using non-linear finite element analysis and proposed a method to generate the initial geometric imperfection using the random material imperfection.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The random material properties for each meshed element follow a statistically random normal distribution of the material yield strength. The initial geometric imperfection is generated from the first second-order analysis with random material properties (using the in-house 3D-NLFEA package) to the point where the expected buckling shape is obtained.

This study proposes a constructive way of recovering the coarse aggregates of recycled aggregates from laboratory concrete waste taken through a focused treatment process with pozzolan. The study aims to replace the proportions of the cement slurry to treat and replace with rice husk ash (RHA) for the modification of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and replace fully natural coarse aggregate (NCA) for sustainable concrete production. One of the main challenges of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is the fractured surface, which often results in reduced strength and loss of concrete durability. The strength of concrete with RCA is principally influenced by the fractured hardened paste attached to the surface, predominantly characterized by voids and gaps resulting from its production using a mechanical method. High water penetration within and around the aggregate matrix due to the presence of micro- and macro-cracks results in strength and durability deterioration of concrete.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 This study addresses these problems by specifying aggregate treatment with a pozzolanic slurry of cement and RHA.
