The influence of different types of polyethylene (PE) substitutions as partial aggregate replacement of microsteel fiber-reinforced self-consolidating concrete (SCC) incorporating incinerator fly ash was investigated. The study focuses on the workability and hardened properties including mechanical properties, permeability properties, sulfate resistance, and microstructure. Regardless of the polyethylene type, PE substitutions slightly decreased the compressive and flexural strength of SSC initially; however, the difference was compensated at later ages. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of the interfacial transition zone showed that there was chemical interaction between PE and the matrix. Although PE substitutions increased the permeable porosity and sorptivity, it significantly improved the sulfate resistance of SCC. The influence of PE shape and size on workability and strength was found to be more important than its type. When considering the disposal of PE wastes and saving embodied energy, consuming recycled PE as partial aggregate replacement was more advantageous over virgin PE aggregate-replaced concrete.

Mechanical properties, durability, and life-cycle assessment of self-consolidating concrete mixtures made with blended portland cements containing fly ash and limestone powder Çelik, Kemal; Akgül, Çağla; Gursel, A. Petek; Mehta, P Kumar; Horvath, Arpad; Monteiro, Paulo JM (2015-02-01) This paper reports the composition and properties of highly flowable self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures made of high proportions of cement replacement materials such as fly ash and pulverized limestone instead of high dosage of a plasticizing agent or viscosity-modifying chemical admixtures. Self-consolidating concrete mixtures are being increasingly used for the construction of highly reinforced complex concrete elements and for massive concrete structures such as dams and thick foundation. In this...
Evaluation of effect of sulfate on class c fly ash and lime stabilized expansive soil As, Mehme; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) In this study, effect of sulfate on expansive soil treated with Class C Fly Ash was investigated. Also, lime was used for comparison purposes. The swelling soil was prepared at laboratory environment by mixing kaolinite and bentonite. Class C Fly Ashes obtained from Soma and Sivas-Kangal Thermal Power Plants were used as main additives for stabilization. Na2SO4 and CaSO4.2H2O were used as sulfate sources with different concentrations (3000ppm to 40000ppm). Optimum fly ash content was chosen as 15% and 10% f...
Production of modified clays and their use in polypropylene-based nanocomposites Seyidoglu, Tijen; Yılmazer, Ülkü (2013-01-15) The use of modified bentonite as a reinforcement in polypropylene (PP)/organoclay/maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) nanocomposites was investigated. The modified bentonites (organoclays) were prepared from raw (unpurified) bentonite (RB) and two quaternary ammonium salts with long alkyl tails: hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide [HDA][Br] and tetrakisdecyl ammonium bromide [TKA][Br]. The ternary composites were produced by using a corotating twin screw extruder, followed by injection molding, a...
Hydration and properties of limestone incorporated cementitious systems Erdoğdu, Korhan; Tokyay, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2002) As limestone is a new widely used mineral addition in cement, understanding the effects of this material on cement properties and hydration in a detailed manner is of substantial importance for efficient and proper usage. Consequently, the current study is designed. In the experiemental study, three different limestones were used. The aim of using different limestones is to reach broad generalisations by crosschecking the results and compare the effects of limestones with different structures. These limesto...
Development of high-volume low-lime and high-lime fly-ash-incorporated self-consolidating concrete Sahmaran, M.; Yaman, Oe.; Tokyay, Mustafa (2007-03-01) The current article presents an experimental study on the use of two types of fly ash ( low lime and high lime) as mineral admixtures in producing self-consolidating concrete (SCC) with the objective of assessing the effects of both types of fly ash on the fresh and hardened properties of SCCs. Within the scope of an experimental programme, SCCs were prepared by keeping the total mass of cementitious materials constant at 500 kg/m(3), in which 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70% of cement, by mass, was replaced by high-l...
