    Aggressive environment performance of low energy cements containing fly ash

    Gokce, H. Suleyman; Simsek, Osman

    In this study, compressive strength performance of boron active belite cement containing fly ash at the ratios of 0, 10, 20, and 30% (by weight of cement) is researched against aggressive environments; sea water, 5% sodium sulphate solution, and 5% ammonium nitrate solution in addition to tapping water. Alternative low energy cement i.e., Portland-composite cement was used and its results were compared with those of boron active belite cement. Early strength losses (reaching up to 40%) of the boron active belite cement with incorporation of fly ash up to 30% were found to be less pronounced than those (reaching up to 51%) of Portland-composite cement in tapping water. Although, the losses were highly compensated with the prolonged curing period (90 days), boron active belite cement and Portland-composite cement kept their losses up to 14% and 36%, respectively. Residual mechanical properties (reaching up to 67%) of boron active belite cement against aggressive environments were found almost similar to those of Portland-composite cement in presence of 30% fly ash. In conclusion, the study shows that belite cements with low fly ash contents can be a reasonable alternative for specific applications such as mass concrete, hot weather concreting especially in aggressive environments.

    A regional supplementary cementitious material for the cement industry: Pistachio shell ash

    Tekin, İ.; Dirikolu, İ.; Gökçe, H.S.

    The recycling of agricultural wastes in cementitious products has recently been a trendy approach for the sustainability goals of the world as it ensures economic and ecological advantages in addition to the safe disposal of these wastes. In this regard, the potentiality of a biomass ash obtained from the incineration of pistachio shell to serve as a supplementary cementitious material is documented in the present study. An increase of up to 30% in the amount of pistachio shell ash resulted in the proportional increase of both water requirement and setting time of the ordinary Portland cement by up to 54% and 300%, respectively. The incorporation of up to 20% pistachio shell ash into the cement yielded specimens of comparable or higher compressive strength values relatively varying between 98% and 117% at the 28 days and later curing ages. Beside the cementitious property, it was observed that a presence of graphitic structures in the pistachio shell ash remarkably improved the mechanical and the microstructural properties of cement mortars. In conclusion, at least 10% incorporation of this ash into the cement is highly recommended for the cement industry as it is beneficial in achieving the highest ultimate (400-day) compressive strength and promotes no loss on the early (2-day) compressive strength.

    Optimising High Lime Fly Ash Content By Means of Silica Fume Incorporation to Control Alkali-Silica Reaction And Drying Shrinkage of Mortars

    Gökçe, H. Suleyman; Hosseinnezhad, Hojjat; Üzüm, Onur; Hatungimana, Daniel; Ramyar, Kambiz

    In this study, the effect of binary and ternary cementitious systems composed of portland cement, high-lime fly ash and silica fume on the compressive strength, alkali-silica reaction (ASTM C 1567) and drying shrinkage of mortar mixtures was researched. For this purpose, binary and ternary binders were prepared with partial replacement of cement with either fly ash (15wt% and 30wt%) or silica fume (5wt%) or both mineral admixtures (15wt+%5wt% and 30wt%+5wt%). An alkali reactive basalt aggregate was used in this study. It was found that partial replacement of cement with high-lime fly ash reduced the strength of mortar mixtures even up to 28-days. Besides, addition of 5% silica fume had not a significant effect on the early strength of fly ash-bearing mixtures. However, silica fume inclusion improved the 28-day strength of mixtures. In terms of alkali-silica reaction (ASR), the fly ash with lower lime content reduced the 14-day expansion more than that of fly ash with higher lime content. The opposite results were the case in 28-day ASR expansions. The ASR expansions of the fly ash-bearing mixtures were significantly reduced by the introduction of the additional 5% silica fume to these mixtures. However, silica fume incorporation remarkably increased the drying shrinkage values of the mixtures. Finally, fly ash with higher lime content was found to be more satisfactory in terms of compressive strength, alkali-silica reaction and drying shrinkage in the ternary binder system.

    Development of Eco-Efficient Fly Ash-Based Alkali-Activated and Geopolymer Composites with Reduced Alkaline Activator Dosage

    Gökçe, H. S.; Tuyan, M.; Ramyar, K.; Nehdi, M. L.

    The eco-efficiency and economy of geopolymer composites largely depend on their alkaline activator dosage. In this study, the effect of applying a pre-setting pressure and variation of the aggregate-to-fly ash ratio on the alkaline solution dosage and mechanical strength of fly ash-based geopolymer composites was explored. It is shown that through control of the aggregate-to-ash ratio and application of pre-setting pressure, compressive strength could be increased by 102% and 86% for Class F fly ash-based geopolymer and alkali-activated Class C fly ash-based mixture, respectively. The total alkaline solution consumption could be reduced from 718 to 188 kg/m(3) and from 769 to 262 kg/m3 for Class F fly ash-based geopolymer and alkali-activated Class C fly ash-based mixture, respectively. The proposed method reduced the alkaline solution consumption per compressive strength (6.2 kg.m(-3).MPa-1) by up to 85% compared to that of the reference manually consolidated control geopolymer. The findings demonstrate that fly ash-based geopolymers could be made more sustainable and eco-efficient through tailored production techniques. (C) 2019 American Society of Civil Engineers.

    High temperature resistance of boron active belite cement mortars containing fly ash

    Gökçe, H.Süleyman

    Boron allowing stability of reactive belite phase in clinker production enhances neutron shielding capability of cement. In the study, neutron attenuation factor of boron active belite cements at various fly ash introduction was theoretically revealed by comparing with an alternative low heat cement (portland composite cement). High temperature resistance of the cements with and without fly ash introduction was determined on standard mortar prisms at elevated temperatures up to 900 °C with regard to compressive strength and flexural strength. Neutron shielding performance of boron active belite cement was found almost 25 times higher than Portland composite cement. Fly ash introduction significantly reduced the neutron attenuation factor of boron active belite cement. High temperature resistance of boron active belite cement mortar was found lower than that of Portland composite cement mortar at 700 °C at later curing time. 10% fly ash introduction improved the high temperature performance of boron active belite cement mortar exposed to 900 °C. Residual compressive strength values of the mortars containing fly ash were between 16% and 28% after exposing 900 °C.

    Effect of fly ash and silica fume on hardened properties of foam concrete

    Gökçe, H. Süleyman; Hatungimana, Daniel; Ramyar, Kambiz

    In this study, the effects of foam content as well as fly ash and silica fume inclusion on some physical and mechanical properties of foam concrete, subjected to various curing regimes, were researched. Totally, forty-five series of foam concrete mixtures were prepared at three replacement levels of fly ash and silica fume (0, 10 and 20%, by weight of cement), at three foam contents (0, 31 and 47%, by volume) and at three curing regimes (7- and 28-day standard water curing and autoclave curing). Density, water absorption, compressive strength and thermal conductivity values of the mixtures were determined on prismatic specimens with dimensions of 40 × 40 × 160 mm. The density (oven dry), water absorption, compressive strength and thermal conductivity results of the foam concrete were found to be between 873–1998 kg/m3, 3.5–35.9%, 1.5–88.1 MPa and, 0.239–0.942 W/m.K, respectively. A balanced benefit with regard to both compressive strength and water absorption of foam concrete was found in the mix with density of 1320 kg/m3. Particularly in the mixtures having high foam content, silica fume introduction resulted in superior compressive strength values and greater compressive strength/thermal conductivity ratios than fly ash introduction.

    A nondestructive testing technique: Nail penetration test

    Selcuk, Levent; Gökce, H. Suleyman; Kayabali, Kamil; Simsek, Osman

    This study presents a practical nondestructive testing (NDT) method: the nail penetration test (NPT). The major tools of the test technique are a gas nailer with 130 J (95.88 ft-lbf) power, concrete nails, and a gas nailer cell. The study covers three different limestone aggregate types. Six concrete mixtures were prepared from each aggregate type. Five nail shots were performed on each concrete mixture (or grade) and the average value was obtained. The average nail penetration depths were correlated with the compressive strength of concrete. Other NDT techniques, such as the Schmidt rebound hammer (SRH), ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), and Windsor probe (WP), were also applied to concrete samples. The measured compressive strength values were compared with those obtained from the empirical relationships using the data from the NPT, SRH, UPV, and WP. It was found that the reliability of the NPT to estimate the compressive strength of concrete is very high. The tool employed in the investigation covers a relatively wide range of compressive strength of concrete. This testing tool is proposed to estimate the compressive strength of in-place concrete.

    Gökçe, H. Suleyman; Simsek, Osman; Durmus, Gokhan; Demir, Ilhami

    Perlite is a natural building materials contribute to global warming positive thanks to its isolation and lightness characteristics as concrete aggregate with usage of in construction sector. In research results, about %74 of world perlite reserves was determined to be in Turkey. It is thought that energy of fairly hard obtained will provide more efficient usage thanks to efficient usage of the natural reserves. Such approaches will provide to reduce of environment pollution in the usage of energy. In this study, with different characteristic usability of expanded perlite aggregate was researched in raw perlite aggregated light weight concrete. 7 different mixtures were prepared in volume at 10% ratio by using 3 different expanded perlite aggregate instead of raw perlite aggregate. With prepared light weight concrete mixtures 100x100x100 mm sized cube samples were produced. 28 days compressive strength, unit volume weight and water absorption ratio of these sample were researched. As a result, with suitable characteristic usage of expanded perlite aggregate was understood to be effective on the mechanical and physical properties of perlite aggregated light weight concrete.
