In this study, we explore an innovative approach to sustainable construction by utilizing industrial by-products: sintered fly ash aggregate (SFA) and waste marble sand in lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC). This study used SFA as a coarse aggregate, whereas river sand was partially replaced by waste marble sand (10–50 %). The waste marble sand modified LWAC has been investigated for mechanical and durability properties. The test related to permeability like water absorption, sorptivity, permeability, and drying shrinkage has been performed. Mercury intrusion porosimetry test was performed to validate durability results. The results indicate that 30 % of river sand can be replaced with waste marble sand as it improves the overall performance of LWAC. Our research contributes to global sustainability efforts by providing a method to reduce industrial waste through its incorporation in building materials. This study not only addresses the urgent need for environmental preservation but also offers potential enhancements in the mechanical properties of LWAC, making it a viable and eco-friendly option in the construction industry worldwide.","PeriodicalId":51766,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Civil Engineering Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141817180","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}

In this study, natural clinoptilolite zeolite was calcined for three hours at 200°C, 400°C, 600°C, 800°C, and 1,000°C, and the effects of calcination on different physical and chemical properties were observed using a range of experimental tests. The impacts of calcined zeolite were investigated in the hydrated system with the replacement of portland cement up to 20 % by mass on hydration kinetics (i.e., heat of hydration, setting time, chemical shrinkage, degree of hydration), drying shrinkage, and compressive strength. Results revealed that calcination minorly decreased the crystallinity, particle size, and peak pore size of the zeolite, leading to a slightly increased external specific surface area, whereas it increased the rate of moisture absorption and pH of zeolite particles. In the hydrated cementitious system, calcined zeolite reduced the workability and heat of hydration and retarded the initial setting time. The calcined zeolite particles absorbed a part of the water from the fresh mixture and expanded volumetrically, which led to a negative volume of chemical shrinkage up to the final setting time and increased the drying shrinkage. As the dosages of calcined zeolite increased, the compressive strength substantially decreased because of the lower degree of hydration. Overall, soak calcination pretreatment decreased the reactivity of clinoptilolite zeolite particles and impacted the performance of calcined zeolite in the blended system.","PeriodicalId":51766,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Civil Engineering Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141817576","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}
