RE:CRETE - Building out of concrete, without pouring concrete (video)

<p>Concrete is the most ubiquitous construction material worldwide but also a major source of waste and CO2 emissions. Worse, it is too often crushed down prematurely for recycling or filling. Can&rsquo;t we do better?<br> We seek to reuse concrete from demolition sites by carefully sawing reinforced walls and slabs, hence generating a new circular supply chain. Reclaimed components come with their own history, their own imperfections and irregularities. Yet, they are a fully reliable construction material, amply capable of new structural feats.<br> We designed and built the RE:CRETE footbridge, a unique post-tensioned arch that spans 10 meters, with 25 reused concrete blocks. The joints are made with regular mortar before post-tensioning. Loaded up to 1.8 tons, and deflecting less than 1.15mm, the footbridge performs just as any other one.<br> This bridge is built out of concrete&hellip; without pouring any concrete. It opens up new pathways to drastically cut waste and CO2 emissions.</p>

Evaluation of Alternative Sources of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) for Concrete Materials in Transportation Infrastructure

<p>Fly ash is the most utilized supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in the US. Nonetheless, rapid decline in coal-fired power generation threatens its supply. The objective of this study was to evaluate alternative SCMs for concrete transportation infrastructure in Region 6. SCMs investigated included reclaimed fly ash (RFA), reclaimed ground bottom ash (GBA), metakaolin (MK), and conventional Class F fly ash (FA) as a reference. SCMs were characterized and the fresh and hardened properties of concrete incorporating different dosages (i.e., 10, 20, and 30% cement replacement by mass) of the individual SCMs (i.e., binary systems) and blended SCM systems of RFA-MK and GBA-MK (i.e., ternary systems) were assessed. All the coal ashes met the requirements for pozzolanic component, CaO, SO3, moisture content, LOI, SAI, and water requirement to be classified as Class F pozzolan according to ASTM C618. MK met all the but the water requirement. Concrete using FA generally exhibited better workability than the control mixture (i.e., without SCMs), whereas concrete incorporating RFA, GBA, and MK presented decrements in workability. Mixtures implementing ternary systems also displayed decrements in workability. Air content of fresh concrete mixtures incorporating binary and ternary systems generally decreased. Relative to the control mixture, decrements in 28-day compressive strength (f&rsquo;c) were reported when incorporating FA and RFA, yet this was generally not the case for the 90-day f&rsquo;c. In the case of GBA mixtures, significant differences in f&rsquo;c were not observed after 28 days nor 90 days. MK mixtures as well as RFA-MK and GBA-MK mixtures generally presented increments in 28-day and 90-day f&rsquo;c. Concrete mixtures implementing coal ashes did not produce significant differences in 28-day surface resistivity (SR) at any cement replacement levels; yet after 90 days of curing, significant improvements in SR were reported. MK, RFA-MK, and GBA-MK mixtures exhibited significant increments in SR at all dosages after 28 and 90 days of curing. Notably, while the control mixture and mixtures incorporating coal ashes did not meet the 28-day SR requirement for class A1 concrete according to LaDOTD, mixtures implementing MK and ternary systems did in almost all cases. All SCMs were effective at reducing drying shrinkage. Binary systems reduced drying shrinkage by 24.2-69.1%, whereas ternary systems reduced drying shrinkage by 55.2-75.3%. With regards ASR, mixtures implementing SCMs presented significantly lower expansion and the increment in SCMs content further reduced the expansion; thus, signaling a positive effect in suppressing ASR related expansion, specially at high dosages.</p>

Development of Cost-Effective High-Modulus Asphalt 5. Report Date Aug. 2021 Concrete (HMAC) Mixtures Using Crumb Rubber and Local Construction Materials in Louisiana

<p>One of the emerging solutions to enhance the durability of asphalt pavements is the use of a French asphalt mix<br> known as &ldquo;High-Modulus Asphalt Concrete (HMAC).&rdquo; This mix uses a hard asphalt binder, high binder content<br> (about 6%), and low air voids content as compared to Superpave mixtures. The key objective of this study was<br> to develop a cost-effective HMAC mixture using crumb rubber and local materials in Louisiana. To achieve this<br> objective, four HMAC mixtures were prepared using two asphalt binders (PG 82-22 and PG 76-22 plus 10%<br> crumb rubber) and two Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) contents (20% and 40%); additionally, a<br> conventional Superpave mixture in Louisiana was prepared as a control mixture. The laboratory performance<br> of these five mixtures was evaluated in terms of workability, dynamic modulus, rutting resistance, and cracking<br> resistance. The AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design software was also used to estimate the long-term field<br> performance of these mixtures. Results indicated that the HMAC mixture prepared with 10% crumb rubber and<br> 20% RAP successfully met the French mix design specifications for HMAC and LaDOTD specifications. This<br> HMAC mix outperformed the control Superpave mix in terms of dynamic modulus, rutting resistance, and<br> cracking resistance. Additionally, this HMAC mixture can reduce the required asphalt thickness by 1.5 or 2<br> inches based on traffic level. The cost-effectiveness analysis indicated that this HMAC mixture was more costeffective<br> than conventional Superpave mixtures in Louisiana. In addition, this mixture is environmentallyfriendly<br> since it can reduce the disposal of scrap tires in landfills.</p>

Durability of Concrete Produced with Alternative Supplementary Cementitious Material

<p>Historically, Class F fly ash has been chosen as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in concrete for its ability to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR). However, future availability of fly ash is uncertain because the energy industry has been investing in renewable energy production and removing coal burning generating stations from operation. Consequently, there is a growing need to find new, cost effective and environmentally friendly alternatives to fly ash. This study investigated a locally available natural pozzolan mined from a pumicite deposit near Espanola, NM for its ability to mediate ASR. Concrete and mortar mixtures included SCM contents ranging from 10 to 40%. Mortar bar tests and concrete tests for compressive and flexural strengths, shrinkage, frost resistance, chloride permeability, and surface resistivity were performed to assess the effectiveness of the pumicite. A minimum pumicite content of 20% was needed to mitigate ASR and that mortar mixtures containing 30% natural pozzolan had approximately 40% less expansion than mixtures containing 30% fly ash, indicating that the pumicite was substantially more effective at mitigating ASR than fly ash. Concrete mixtures containing natural pozzolan had comparable compressive strengths to specimens containing fly ash, while flexural strengths of specimens containing pumicite exceeded those of mixtures containing only fly ash. Concrete shrinkage decreased as pumicite content increased and when fly ash was used in place of pumicite. Fly ash mixtures produced at least 20% less shrinkage than similar 30% pumicite mixtures, indicating that the pumicite produced significantly greater shrinkage than the fly ash. Results also showed that mixtures containing 20 and 30% pumicite had the lowest acceptable durability factor (DF) values, and these DF values were significantly less than the DFs obtained using 30% fly ash. Rapid chloride permeability testing results showed that increasing pumicite content decreased chloride ion penetration. The 28-day surface resistivity results showed that the mixtures most susceptible to chloride ion penetration were the mixtures that contained either 10% natural pozzolan or 30% fly ash. Mixtures containing 30% fly ash provided substantially less chloride ion penetration resistance than mixtures containing 30% natural pozzolan at 28 days, but slightly better chloride resistance at 180 days. These results indicate that pumicite can reliably replace (partially or completely) fly ash for all of the durability issues addressed in this work.</p>

Multifunctional corrosion control system as a sustainable approach for reinforced concrete elements

<p>Corrosion inhibitors can be utilized to decrease the corrosion kinetics and therefore increase the durability of reinforced concrete structures. Recently, a green synthesized organic compound, 1-benzyl-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (BPT), was shown to be a successful green organic corrosion inhibitor for mild steel. Studies suggested that the BPT adsorbs chemically onto the steel and acts as a mixed inhibitor, suppressing both the anodic and cathodic corrosion kinetics of steel. In addition, microcapsules have shown to be an efficient way for a controlled inhibitor release in reinforced concrete structures. On the other hand, geopolymers (GPs) comprised of a long range of covalently bonded alumino-silicates, with amorphous network structure are generally considered as a suitable substitute for OPC for many structural applications due to their high strength and durability. The use of recycled waste materials or natural abundant materials for the production of GPs has attracted world-wide attention as it presents an environment-friendly aspect that may shed light on for replacing traditional OPC by its sustainability. One of the advantages of GPs is the significant reduction to CO2 emission due to the energy consumption, the geopolymers utilize materials such as fly-ash, which is a byproduct of coal combustion, or natural precursor materials (clays, basalt rocks, etc.) and their derives (metakaolin), which does not produce net CO2 emission. Recent studies have shown that GPs based cements can hinder the corrosion of reinforcement steel in concrete structures when compared to OPC, mostly because of lower chloride ingress (due to barrier protective capabilities) and the highly alkaline pH nature of geopolymer cements.</p>

Determination of the Optimal Parameters for Self-Healing Efficiency of Encapsulated bacteria in Concrete Simulated Subtropical Climate

<p>Concrete is a remarkable construction material. However, its low tensile strength makes it prone to cracking, which negatively affects its durability. To address this issue, bacterial concrete has been implemented as a self-healing alternative due to its capability to seal microcracks through microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICCP). In this study, a bacterial strain (i.e, Bacillus Pseudiformus) was encapsulated through three different methods: encapsulation through hydrogel beads, vacuum impregnation on lightweight aggregates, and attachment to cellulose nanocrystals. Furthermore, three precursor types were used, magnesium acetate, calcium lactate, and sodium lactate were implemented. Compressive strength tests and flexural strength tests were performed on mortar specimens to characterize their mechanical properties. Once the crack was induced, samples were subjected to 28 days of wet/dry cycles in which the corresponding crack width was monitored. At the end of this period, the beams were retested to determine the strength recovery of the specimens. The results showed that the specimen groups in which calcium lactate was added to the cementitious matrix displayed the highest values in compressive strength. In terms of flexural strength, no major difference was found among the specimens. Moreover, the flexural strength recovery of the specimens did not show any significant difference as well. In terms of the healing efficiency, the sample that displayed the best results was the one containing calcium lactate as a precursor along with bacteria and yeast extract encapsulated in hydrogel beads. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) along with x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was performed on the cracked specimens to characterize the healing products. Furthermore, a scale study was performed on concrete samples to determine the long-term implications of adding encapsulated bacteria along with calcium lactate and yeast extract in concrete.</p>

EVOL Concrete Blocks Smithfield

A series of concrete blocks spray painted to look like a housing estate by artist EVOL. Located on West Poultry Avenue, Smithfield, London. Date: 2011 The blocks (many more than shown in this model) have been here for nearly 8 years and are now very faded. Originally they were used to protect the Crossrail work site. They are now in the area of the development of the new Museum of London. The workers here say they would now be considered illegal as they are not fixed down and have no lifting points. They could weigh as much as a tonne and would be very hard to move. It is not clear who owns the blocks. Possibly the Corporation of London? http://evoltaste.com/ https://londonist.com/2011/11/street-art-evols-tower-blocks-at-smithfield-market 221 photos taken in July 2020 with a Sony a6000 and processed in Reality Capture.

Edmonton Concrete Piles: Ensuring Durability and Longevity in Construction

<p>Among the many construction uses for precast <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/DJzVVHVY4uKxB3Ez6"><strong>Edmonton Concrete Piles</strong></a> are foundations, bridges, and marine structures. Their strength and versatility make them ideal for supporting heavy loads and structures in challenging soil conditions. New construction, as well as renovations and repairs to older structures, frequently make use of precast concrete piles. The ability to insert precast concrete piles into the ground with minimal interference to nearby regions makes them a desirable option for reinforcing and repairing foundations.</p> <p>Buildings designed by engineers can be supported by this type of piling. This is suitable in the majority of cases and applies to all types of businesses. The use of precast concrete piles is justified in situations where dry strata lie over soft sediment. Furthermore, they are effective even on soil that is polluted or otherwise unfriendly.</p> <p>They are adaptable to many different types of soil and can be shaped with the help of a pile cropper. This is especially true when reducing the items to the recommended pile cutoff level. One reason they have been around for so long is because they provide a cost-effective piling solution in this way.</p> <p>Reinforcing and supporting foundations are just two of the many applications that benefit from their robust character and ability to endure tough soil conditions. Due to their little effect on the surrounding areas during construction, precast concrete piles are an eco-friendly option. If builders are aware of the advantages of precast concrete piles, they may choose the finest foundation solution for their projects.</p> <p>The installation of concrete piles does not typically result in significant material waste or degradation, therefore they are highly advantageous. The question is, how can we put these mounds to good use? What keeps them from being anything other than stalwarts in their&nbsp;construction industries? Regardless, what makes them stand out from the crowd?</p> <p>For more information about our Concrete Piles service, contact Shield Foundation Repair now!</p> <h2>Concrete and Ever Staff Precast Piles</h2> <ul> <li>A lot of industries still use precast concrete piles as their go-to. This becomes most apparent when building strong, long-lasting foundations. This is mainly due to its remarkable flexibility and resistance to corrosion.</li> <li>The fact that the piles may be linked to create longer ones makes it a versatile solution as well. One of the primary uses for these heaps is really in this context. The transportation of segmented piles opens up a world of possibilities for building projects of varying lengths.</li> <li>Do you want to know more about the finest cutting tools, pile cropping, or the foundation of concrete piles? Check out some of our other articles that will get your brain working right now. Another option is to contact us for additional information regarding our top-notch piling services.</li> </ul> <h2>Grasping the Benefits of Steel Sheet Pile Construction</h2> <p>Steel sheet piles, thanks to their exceptional strength and resistance, are the ideal choice for foundations in soils that are difficult to work with. Their capacity to provide stability and resistance to lateral pressures is a key feature that makes them ideal for use in retaining walls, underground parking lots, and waterfront complexes, among other uses.</p> <p>Steel sheet piles last longer and need less upkeep due to their high corrosion resistance. Their versatility allows for efficient installation and removal, reducing environmental impact. Steel sheet piles have many advantages as a construction material, including durability, longevity, and structural performance.</p> <p>One major benefit of steel sheet piling is its extraordinary strength. Steel can withstand severe weather and heavy loads since it is strong and durable. This makes steel sheet piling an ideal material for retaining walls along roads railroads, or any other project that needs to keep a lot of dirt or water contained.</p> <p>Steel sheet piling has many positive uses in construction and also has environmental benefits. Steel sheet piling may be recycled and repurposed once its useful life is done because <a href="https://www.shieldfoundationrepair.ca/services/underpinning/"><strong>Edmonton Steel Piles</strong></a> is a recyclable material. Because of this, steel sheet piling is a sustainable option for long-term projects like retaining walls.</p> <p>Shield Foundation Repair Inc. has been a leading supplier of steel sheet piles to the building industry on every continent for a long time.</p> <h2>How are piles produced, and what kinds of piles are there?</h2> <ul> <li>For centuries&mdash;if not millennia&mdash;piling has been and is an essential part of the building industry. Transferring weight from an elevated structure to the ground is the primary function of piles.</li> <li>The definition and background of&nbsp;piling will be covered in the first part of this course. The article continues by explaining the two main kinds of pile foundations, the steps involved in building and installing piles, and the importance of using safe working platforms to support piling rigs.</li> <li>Property subsidence can be secured in an affordable and non-invasive manner with screw piling underpinning. This method stops any additional movement caused by factors such as groundwater loss, trees getting larger over time, or roots absorbing enormous amounts of water from the earth.</li> </ul> <p>Using our screw piling foundation technology as an underpinning solution is a perfect match. The inability to employ a larger machine for excavation due to restricted access is a prime example of this. Then, to be safe, we'll pour concrete or use crushed debris to encircle the screw pile underpin cap and prevent the building from shifting any further. The current state of the ground following excavation will inform our engineer's decision on this matter.</p> <p>If you see any signs of building sinking or cracks, don't hesitate to contact Shield Foundation Repair Inc. Our professionals can remedy it quickly and affordably.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
