Kaolin, one of the materials of major importance for the ceramic and paper industry, is also used in the construction industry as a raw material for the production of white cement clinker and, in the form of metakaolin, as an artificial pozzolanic additive for concrete. Metakaolin is a vital component of high-performance and architectural concrete; however, its application in regular concrete is very limited due to relatively high production costs. This report evaluates the performance of a low-cost metakaolin-based additive called thermally activated kaolin (TAK), in cement. Due to its pozzolanic properties and the densification of cement matrix, the application of TAK provides a 15% improvement of the compressive strength. It was shown that TAK of optimal quality can be manufactured by the thermal treatment of raw kaolin with 74% of kaolinite at 750 degrees C without the intermediate beneficiation stage. The application of a developed approach can significantly reduce production expenditures and make the application of such an additive feasible even in regular-grade cement and concrete.

Strength of carbon fiber reinforced polymers bonded to concrete and masonry Serdar Camli, Umit; Binici, Barış (Elsevier BV, 2007-07-01) Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) have gained popularity in upgrades of reinforced concrete structural elements within the last decade because of their ease of application and high strength-to-weight ratio. In the design of an effective retrofitting solution using FRP systems, the anchorage capacity has an important role. This study presents the results of 57 double shear push-out tests conducted to determine the strength of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) bonded to concrete prisms and hollow clay t...
Properties of Ground Perlite Geopolymer Mortars Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2015-07-01) Perlite is a volcanic aluminosilicate abundant in several countries that are major producers of portland cement. The amorphous nature and silica-to-alumina ratio of ground perlite indicate that it can be activated with alkaline solutions. This study presents the strength development of mixtures containing only ground perlite as their powder binder, activated with sodium hydroxide and/or sodium silicate solutions, at room temperature or using oven curing. The structure of the formed geopolymers is investigat...
Laboratory production of calcium sulfoaluminate cements with high industrial waste content Canbek, Ogulcan; Shakouri, Sahra; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01) A drawback of conventional calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement production is the use of the costly raw material bauxite as a source of alumina to form the main clinker phase ye'elimite. Replacement of bauxite with industrial wastes can benefit CSA cements economically and environmentally. This study demonstrates the use of high amounts of red mud, a sulfate-rich/high-lime fly ash, and desulfogypsum as raw materials in producing CSA clinkers and cements with better mechanical performances than an all-natural...
Synthesis of special cement with fluidised bed combustion ashes Selçuk Yüce, Nihal; Soner, I.; Selçuk, Emre (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2010-04-01) Fluidised bed combustion (FBC) ashes containing a significant amount of free calcium oxide and calcium sulfate in addition to valuable inorganic acidic oxide ingredients such as silicon oxide, ferric oxide and aluminium oxide can be utilised as potential raw materials in the production of non-expansive belite-rich calcium sulfoaluminate cement, which is one of the special cement types having performance characteristics similar to those of ordinary Portland cement in addition to having lower energy requireme...
Strength and fracture properties of roller compacted concrete (RCC) prepared by an in-situ compaction procedure ŞENGÜN, EMİN; Aleessa Alam, Burhan; Shabani, R.; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) © 2020 Elsevier LtdThe use of roller compacted concrete (RCC) technology in pavement applications has been steadily increasing owing to its economical as well as practical advantages. Past literature studies on RCC mixtures, focused mainly on the effects of RCC mixtures on their strength and durability properties, and there is a lack in the fracture properties. In this experimental study, a total of seven different RCC mixtures were designed with four different binder ratios ranging from 200 kg/m3 to 600 kg...
