Summary

Recycling industry solid wastes (recycled aggregate, smelting slag, reclaimed asphalt pavement, etc.) in civil engineering materials is an important strategy to save the nonrenewable resources and protect the environment. However, the material characteristics of solid wastes are quite different from natural resources. Some property defects of solid wastes have hindered their utilization in civil engineering materials, such as low strength of recycled aggregate and volume expansion of smelting slag. To promote the utilization of solid wastes, the aim of this special issue is to summarize the materials processing and modification technologies that can strengthen the properties of typical wastes and improve the performance of waste based civil engineering materials. Suggested topics related to this special issue include, but are not limited to:

• Processing and application technologies of smelting slag aggregate

• Modification and application technologies of recycled aggregate

• Processing and production of solid waste based binders

• Permeability and transport performances of solid waste based civil engineering materials

• Utilization of solid wastes in civil engineering materials

    Abstract The composite exciter and the CaO to Na2SO4 dosing ratios are known to have a strong impact on the mechanical strength of fly-ash concrete. In the present study a hybrid approach relying on experiments and a machine-learning technique has been used to tackle this problem. The tests have shown that the optimal admixture of CaO and Na2SO4 alone is 8%. The best 3D mechanical strength of fly-ash concrete is achieved at 8% of the compound activator; If the 28-day mechanical strength is considered, then, the best performances are obtained at 4% of the compound activator. Moreover, the 3D mechanical strength… More >

    Abstract Glass powder of various particle sizes (2, 5, 10 and 15 μm) has been assessed as a possible cement substitute for mortars. Different replacement rates of cement (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) have been considered for all particle sizes. The accessible porosity, compressive strength, gas permeability and microstructure have been investigated accordingly. The results have shown that adding glass powder up to 20% has a significantly negative effect on the porosity and compressive strength of mortar. The compressive strength initially rises with a 5% replacement and then decreases. Similarly, the gas permeability of the mortar displays a non-monotonic behavior; first, it… More >

    Abstract The design of an underground nuclear waste disposal requires a full characterization of concrete under various thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical conditions. This experimental work studied the characterization of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical effects using concretes made with cement CEM I or CEM V/A (according to European norms). Uniaxial and triaxial compression under 5 MPa confining pressure tests were performed under three different temperatures (T = 20°C, 50°C, and 80°C). The two concretes were dried under relative humidity (RH) to obtain a partially saturated state of approximately 70%. The results showed that the effects of water saturation and confining pressure are more important than that of… More >

    Abstract In recent years, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) have played an increasingly important role in the construction and monitoring of underwater pile foundations. However, due to the open frame structure of such vehicles, a gap of knowledge still exists with regard to their hydrodynamic behavior. In this study, the hydrodynamic stability of such vehicles is investigated numerically by means of a multiple reference frame method. The hydrodynamic characteristics of the ROV when it moves horizontally and upward in the vertical plane are examined. It is found that there is interference between the horizontal and vertical thrusters of the ROV. There is… More >

    Abstract In general, acid aggregates are not used in combination with asphalt concrete because of their poor compatibility with the asphalt binder, which typically results in a scarce water stability of the concrete. In the present study, the feasibility of a new approach based on the combination of acid granite fine aggregate with alkaline limestone coarse aggregate and Portland cement filler has been assessed. The mineral and chemical compositions of these three materials have first been analyzed and compared. Then, the effect of different amounts of Portland cement (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the total filler by weight) on… More >
