Abstract

In the realm of sustainable construction materials, the quest for low-environmental-impact binders has gained momentum. Addressing the global demand for concrete, several alternatives have been proposed to mitigate the carbon footprint associated with traditional Portland cement production. Despite technological advancements, property inconsistencies and cost considerations, the wholesale replacement of Portland cement remains a challenge. This study investigates the feasibility of using alkali-activated slag (AAS)-based binders for two specific applications: structural plaster and pervious concrete. The research aims to develop an M10-grade AAS plaster with a 28-day compressive strength of at least 10 MPa for the retrofitting of masonry buildings. The plaster achieved suitable levels of workability and applicability by trowel as well as a 28-day compressive strength of 10.8 MPa, and the level shrinkage was reduced by up to 45% through the inclusion of shrinkage-reducing admixtures. Additionally, this study explores the use of tunnel muck as a recycled aggregate in AAS pervious concrete, achieving a compressive strength up to 20 MPa and a permeability rate from 500 to 3000 mm/min. The relationship between aggregate size and the physical and mechanical properties of no-fines concretes usually used for cement-based pervious concrete was also confirmed. Furthermore, the environmental impacts of these materials, including their global warming potential (GWP) and gross energy requirement (GER), are compared to those of conventional mortars and concretes. The findings highlight that AAS materials reduce the GWP from 50 to 75% and the GER by about 10–30% compared to their traditional counterparts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this paper, dynamic behaviour of fiber reinforced mortars manufactured with innovative binders based on calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA), supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), gypsum (G) and hydrated lime (CH) was investigated. Fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) were used to develop sustainable Portland-free cementitious materials. Polypropylene structural fibers (1% by mortar volume) were used to reinforce the cementitious matrix. Fresh properties of mortars were evaluated in terms of workability and specific mass. In addition, elastic modulus, compressive and flexural strength were determined up 28 days from casting. The dynamic behaviour was studied by means of Split Hopkinson Tensile bar having 60 mm in diameter. Preliminary dynamic results reported in terms of stress versus crack opening displacement were evaluated and discussed.

Abstract

The main challenge for concrete industry - and in general for construction materials - is to serve the two major needs of human society, the protection of the environment, on one hand, and the requirements of buildings and infrastructures by the world?s growing population, on the other. In the past concrete industry has satisfied these needs well. However, for a variety of reasons, the situation has changed dramatically in the last years. First of all, the concrete industry is the largest consumer of natural resources. Secondly, Portland cement, the binder of modern concrete mixtures, is not as environmentally friendly. The world's cement production, in fact, contributes to the earth's atmosphere about 7% of the total CO2 emissions, CO2 being one of the primary greenhouse gas (GHG) responsible for global warming and climate change. As a consequence, concrete industry in the future has to face two antithetically needs. In other words, how the concrete industry can feed the growing population needs being - at the same time - sustainable? The answer to this question is represented by the ?3R-Green Strategy? widely discussed in the first chapter of this PhD thesis: Reduction in consumption of gross energy for construction materials production, Reduction in polluting emissions and Reduction in consuming not renewable natural resources. In particular, this thesis is focused on the alternative binders to Portland cement such as alkali-activated slag cements and calcium sulphoaluminate cement-based binders in order to manufacture sustainable mixtures for special applications such as repair mortars, lightweight reinforced plasters and concretes for slabs on ground. The experimental results show the feasibility of manufacturing both EN 1504-3 R3 class mortars and Portland-free concretes for jointless slabs on ground with calcium sulphoaluminate cement, supplementary cementitious materials (fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag) and hydrated lime instead of Portland cement. Moreover, alkali-activated mortars and concretes seem to be a reasonable alternative to natural hydraulic lime-based and/or traditional Portland cement-based mixtures for rehabilitation or restoration of ancient masonry buildings and existing concretes structures. Finally, a new sustainability index was developed taking into account the environmental impact, the performances and the durability of mixtures. In particular, in the environmental impact section, the natural raw materials consumption, the greenhouse gas emissions and the energy consumption have been considered. Furthermore, depending on the applications and the environments, design parameters and properties related to durability have been assigned to each mixture. less

Abstract

In this study, three different hardening accelerating admixtures (sodium carbonate, lithium carbonate and a blend of sodium and lithium carbonates) were employed to prepare calcium sulphoaluminate cement-based mortars. The workability, setting times, entrapped air, elasto-mechanical properties such as compressive strength and dynamic modulus of elasticity, free shrinkage, water absorption and carbonation rate were measured and mercury intrusion porosimetry were also performed. Experimental results show that a mixture of lithium carbonate and sodium carbonate acts as a hardening accelerating admixture, improving the early-age strength and promoting a remarkable pore structure refinement. Finally, sodium carbonate also reduces the water absorption, the carbonation rate and the shrinkage of mortars without affecting the setting times and the workability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

43. Self-Sensing Properties of Green Alkali-Activated Binders with Carbon-Based Nanoinclusions.

Author

D'Alessandro, Antonella, Coffetti, Denny, Crotti, Elena, Coppola, Luigi, Meoni, Andrea, and Ubertini, Filippo

Abstract

This paper is aimed at investigating the self-sensing properties of Portland-free alkali-activated binders doped with carbon-based nanofillers. Four different inclusions (carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, carbon black and graphene nanoplatelets) were added into the matrix in the same amount. The physical and electromechanical properties were analyzed. The self-sensing capabilities of the samples were tested by applying a square wave voltage signal and measuring the variation of electrical resistance during cyclical compression tests. The results showed that the presence of nano-inclusions enhanced the sensing behavior of the materials, especially regarding the linearity and the hysteresis performances. Such results appear promising for the application of such novel and innovative nano-modified composites in the field of monitoring structures and infrastructures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The increase in concrete structures’ durability is a milestone to improve the sustainability of buildings and infrastructures. In order to ensure a prolonged service life, it is necessary to detect the deterioration of materials by means of monitoring systems aimed at evaluating not only the penetration of aggressive substances into concrete but also the corrosion of carbon-steel reinforcement. Therefore, proper data collection makes it possible to plan suitable restoration works which can be carried out with traditional or innovative techniques and materials. This work focuses on building heritage and it highlights the most recent findings for the conservation and restoration of reinforced concrete structures and masonry buildings.

Abstract

The topic of sustainability of reinforced concrete structures is strictly related with their durability in aggressive environments. In particular, at equal environmental impact, the higher the durability of construction materials, the higher the sustainability. The present review deals with the possible strategies aimed at producing sustainable and durable reinforced concrete structures in different environments. It focuses on the design methodologies as well as the use of unconventional corrosion-resistant reinforcements, alternative binders to Portland cement, and innovative or traditional solutions for reinforced concrete protection and prevention against rebars corrosion such as corrosion inhibitors, coatings, self-healing techniques, and waterproofing aggregates. Analysis of the scientific literature highlights that there is no preferential way for the production of “green” concrete but that the sustainability of the building materials can only be achieved by implementing simultaneous multiple strategies aimed at reducing environmental impact and improving both durability and performances.

Abstract

The paper represents the “state of the art” on sustainability in construction materials. In Part 1 of the paper, issues related to production, microstructures, chemical nature, engineering properties, and durability of mixtures based on binders alternative to Portland cement were presented. This second part of the paper concerns the use of traditional and innovative Portland-free lime-based mortars in the conservation of cultural heritage, and the recycling and management of wastes to reduce consumption of natural resources in the production of construction materials. The latter is one of the main concerns in terms of sustainability since nowadays more than 75% of wastes are disposed of in landfills.
