However, the commonly used commercial fibers are costly, and their production involves the generation of CO 2 . On the other hand, the accumulation of discarded tire steel fibers (DSFs) is a big hurdle in the sustainability enhancement of modern society. Therefore, it is vital to study the effectiveness of steel fibers recovered from discarded tires (DSF) for potential applications in the construction industry. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of DSFs in achieving sustainable concrete structures. As a preliminary study, the linear shrinkage (LS) and indirect tensile strength (TS) of the DSF-reinforced concrete (DFRC) are examined. 0.30% and 0.75% of the DSFs are incorporated into concrete by volume fraction. Plain concrete (PC) is used as a reference. All tests are carried out following the ASTM standard. An improvement of 16% is noted in the TS of DFRCs compared to PC. The LS of DFRC decreased by 34% compared to the LS of PC. Therefore, it can be concluded that the DSFs can improve the sustainability of concrete structures. Therefore, it is recommended to study the long-term durability of DSF-reinforced concrete structures for practical implementation.","PeriodicalId":38731,"journal":{"name":"Gong Cheng Li Xue/Engineering Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44121701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plasters, which are used as a cover layer of load bearing structure, must resist to the adverse natural conditions, corrosion or mechanical damage. As the surface treatment there are used coatings which must require material and physical characteristics and help to resist to the material degradation. This article is focused on silicon-acrylate coatings. Silicons (polysiloxanes) are very resistant and expensive. Acrylates are cheaper and less resistant than polsiloxanes. The coating samples were measured in the ATR module in the infrared spectrometer. The advantage of this method is that the sample doesn´t need to be modified and the measurement is quite cheap. As a result, the mathematical model for quantitative analysis was created – the quadratic dependence of carbonyl peak area on the concentration of acrylate. Indirectly, the polysiloxane concentration can be calculated. In the reality the calculation of polysiloxane concentration can be the problem because of additives. The conditions of the measurement were specified and the statistical deviation was determined to be 4.6 %.","PeriodicalId":38731,"journal":{"name":"Gong Cheng Li Xue/Engineering Mechanics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47813099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
