D2 (B5) Ingemar Löfgren - A simple screening test of alternative pozzolanic m...Svenska Betongföreningen
This document presents a study that evaluated alternative pozzolanic materials using mortar prisms to assess compressive strength development and bound water content over time. Materials tested included fly ash, pumice, two grades of silica sand, ReSiCa slag, and limestone. Results showed that the silica sand had the highest strength and was highly pozzolanic based on its portlandite consumption. Pumice showed strength gains similar to fly ash but consumed less portlandite. The ReSiCa slag met activity index standards but did not significantly reduce portlandite, indicating it did not react pozzolanically. The study demonstrated mortar testing can effectively evaluate the pozzolanic potential of alternative SCM

IRJET- Geotechnical Investigation of Different Soil Samples using Regression ...IRJET Journal
This document presents the results of a study that used regression analysis to develop equations to predict geotechnical properties of soils based on index properties. Soil samples were collected from various locations and tested in the laboratory to determine their California bearing ratio (CBR), maximum dry density (MDD), and optimum moisture content (OMC). Simple and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to establish relationships between these properties and index values like liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index, etc. Correlation coefficients were calculated. Equations were developed for CBR, MDD and OMC in terms of percentage compositions of industrial waste, fly ash, red mud, cement and lime stabilizers. Additional equations linked CBR to individual index properties.

Impact of Dyeing Industrial Effluent on Groundwater Quality in and Around Ayy...IRJET Journal
This document analyzes the impact of dyeing industrial effluent on groundwater quality in and around Ayyampettai, Tamil Nadu. 10 groundwater samples were collected from the area and analyzed. The results show that the groundwater quality can be categorized as 'good' for irrigation purposes but only 'average' for drinking purposes, as some samples exceeded limits for parameters like BOD, COD, turbidity, and bacterial contamination. While the groundwater meets irrigation standards, contamination from dyeing effluent poses a threat to the area's groundwater supply for drinking uses. Comprehensive action is needed to curb further groundwater pollution in the region.
Study of behaviour of concrete using waste materials as a partial substituteSwathy B
Concrete is a composite material that comprises basically of a binding medium, such as a blend of Portland cement and water, inside which are embedded particles or fragments of aggregate, usually a mixture of fine and coarse aggregate. The increase in population has resulted a rise in demand of housing and other construction works, which in turn led to a large shortage of building materials. As these conventional building materials consume a large amount of thermal and electrical energies during their production, the rate of pollution of the environment is also on the rise. This led to the research of building material substitutes, which at the same time doesn’t compromise the quality of the construction and also has eco-friendly properties. This study aims at utilization and to ascertain the suitability of rubber wood ash, crumb rubber, ceramic tile pieces as a partial replacement of cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate respectively in normal concrete. Initially properties of materials are analyzed. There after binder material is partially replaced by rubber wood ash at varying percentage 0 to 10%, at interval of 2.5% and tested for its workability and compressive strength for the age of 7 and 28 days. And the results were compared with those of conventional concrete to arrive at an optimum mix having maximum compressive strength. The replacement which gives more strength is chosen and the binder is fixed accordingly for further trials. Thereafter coarse aggregate and fine aggregates are partially replaced by ceramic tile pieces and crumb rubber respectively at varying percentages from 2 to 8% at intervals of 2% to find the optimum mix having maximum compressive strength. The strength and durability performance of these concrete with conventional concrete is studied. Qualitative analysis of waste substituted concrete is studied using XRD method. It was found that maximum strength properties was when fine aggregate and coarse aggregate was replaced up to 2% with crumb rubber and ceramic tile pieces along with 5% rubber wood ash as partial replacement of cement.

ASTM C1293 intends to have Na2Oeq = 8.85 lbs/yd3.
New Mexico DOT study: with F ash, the ratio should be 1.45 ~ 1.75 to prevent ASR expansion.
25. Summary
1. All the C1293 specimens showed shrinkage, regardless of
moisture curing or not, in the range of 0.01~0.03 %.
(Prof. Mike Thomas confirms their tests showed comparable
shrinkage, especially with fly ash and slag specimens)
2. Durability tests have just started. The wet/dry and freeze-thaw
tests will dictate the timeline of the testing program.
3. Prof. Mike Thomas of U. of New Brunswick has received the
materials for C1293 parallel testing.
4. Data acquisition and analysis are on-going. The website will
be totally reconstructed shortly, and data will be posted.
