Healthcare wastes can accelerate the further spread of the virus and threaten the health of citizens and the environment. In order to deal with this lateral problem of the on-going pandemic, face-mask wastes were processed and recycled in concrete materials. The objective of this research was to investigate the influences of recycled facemask products on the performance of concrete. To do so, the compressive and splitting tensile strength tests were performed to assess the mechanical behaviour of concrete with and without of the recycled facemask products. Moreover, gas permeability test was conducted on the designed samples before and after exposure to fire temperature, to verify whether the proposed addition provides a similar effect like conventional polypropylene fibres, or not. The results were supplemented with the heat of cement hydration measurements.","PeriodicalId":55632,"journal":{"name":"Cement Wapno Beton","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90877799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CO 2 greatly affects the carbonation depth of concrete, which can affect the deck for reinforced concrete bridges causing corrosion to steel reinforcement. Cement content and water to cement ratio greatly influence the carbonation depth of concrete. This study aims to investigate the effect of climate change on carbonation depth by considering different Representative Concentration Pathways [RCPs]. In addition, the effect of different compressive strengths on the carbonation depth was investigated in this research. Additionally, the effect of different cement contents on the probability of carbonation-induced corrosion has been investigated. Two parameters are considered, namely, the cement content 400 kg/m3, 350 kg/m3, and 250 kg/m3 and, the water to cement ratio [0.45 and 0.55]. This study RCPs for CO2 concentrations. The RCP [2.6, 4.5, 6, and 8.5] trajectory was used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], which represents low emission pathways, intermediate emission pathways, and high emission pathways, respectively. Carbonation depth has been estimated using Yoon’s and Stewart’s equations. Furthermore, the probability of carbonation-induced corrosion has been investigated using Monte Carlo simulation and the first-order reliability method at different cement contents for RCP 8.5. The percentage increase in the carbonation depth using Yoon’s compared to Stewart’s equations for concrete mixes which consist of different water to cement ratios and cement content for the years 2025 and 2100 for both RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5 were calculated. Finally, the probability of carbonation-induced corrosion conducted by FORM for cement content of 250 kg/m3 has been increased by 18% compared to the probability of carbonation including cement content equal to 400 kg/m 3 for the year 2100.","PeriodicalId":55632,"journal":{"name":"Cement Wapno Beton","volume":"374 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84944500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Graphene oxide na-nocomposite is a material that has been recently proposed as a suitable alternative for part of cement in concrete. However, there is no research on the addition of these synthetic compounds to concrete, and little is known about the effect of these materials on the mechanical and durability properties of concrete. Therefore, in this laboratory study, the synthesis of Fe3O4/SiO2/GO and GO nanoparticles was performed and confi rmed with FT-IR, SEM, TEM analyses. These nanoparticles partially replaced cement by 1, 2, 3, and 4 % by mass of the cement, and their effect on mechanical and durability properties of concrete at the ages of 7, 28, and 90-day, were investigated. The results suggest that mixtures in which 2% Fe3O4/ SiO2/GO and 3% GO substituted cement yielded the best results in the mechanical properties tests. Concrete containing Fe3O4/SiO2/GO nanoparticles enhanced compressive strength by 14% and splitting tensile strength by 12% after 28-days of curing. Also, concrete containing 2% Fe3O4/SiO2/GO, had the highest re-sistance to an acidic environment, the lowest permeability, and the highest transient pulse velocity in the ultrasonic test, compared to the specimen containing GO nanoparticles and the control sample.","PeriodicalId":55632,"journal":{"name":"Cement Wapno Beton","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89120771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The kiln has the double role: the hearth and the chemical reactor. The diminishing of the heat loading of the kiln can be obtained only by emitting the calcination heat of raw materials from the kiln. At the same time, it gives the possibility of significant increase of the kiln productivity, which was already no longer limited by the heat quantity, linked to the kiln burner. In this technology, the kiln burner was only applied to heat the material in the kiln from the temperature of 1100°C to 1450°C, which was fulfil about 15% of the heat, from the entire heat demand of clinker burning. It will be 3050 x 0.15 equal to about 480 kJ/kg of clinker. As is known in the clinker formation process, radical changes of the properties of the roasting material occur, which are started at the temperature of 1260°C and are linked with the liquid phase appearing. After the liquid phase appears, the process cannot be conducted in the fluid reactor, because the material can form the roasting formation on the reactor walls, which can cause its plugging. From these reasons, the best technological solution was the division of the process into two operations, applied in two different equipments: (a) heating and calcining conducting in the fluid heater, which was the preliminary calciner, and (b) sintering and clinker formation in the rotary kiln. This technological division caused the high kiln capacity, because the quantity of heat needed in the kiln was low and the heat charge of the zone of fuel burning in the kiln burner was also low","PeriodicalId":55632,"journal":{"name":"Cement Wapno Beton","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74490091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
