Summary: Recycling waste materials for sustainable concrete production can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consumption of natural resources. This study investigated the properties of sustainable concrete using waste materials like rubber tires, crushed clay bricks, and crushed glass as substitutes for natural aggregate. Tests and analysis were conducted to assess workability, density, strength, and microstructure. The findings showed that the waste materials can be used to produce lightweight sustainable concrete without significant deterioration of mechanical properties or conventional concrete with improved performance.

Summary: The disposal of waste rubber tires has become a major ecological issue globally due to their prolonged degrading period and severe hazard to the environment. Recycling waste rubber as construction material can help preserve depleting natural aggregate sources and protect the environment. This paper reviews research on using crumb rubber as eco-friendly aggregates in concrete and its impact on fresh and mechanical properties, aiming to update the database for further experimental and numerical research on rubberized concrete.

Summary: The study investigated the corrosion rate of concrete reinforcement bars (rebars) in the presence of sulphate and its combined effect with chlorides. It was found that both the presence of sulphate and its combined effect with chloride indeed increase the corrosion rate of rebars. Therefore, the selection of the construction site for a radioactive waste repository is crucial to meet the durability requirements of the facility.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of using nano waste glass (NWG) and nano waste ceramics (NWC) as cement replacement materials on the properties of self-compacted concrete (SCC). Results show that as the percentages of NWC and NWG are increased, the mechanical properties, microstructure, and corrosion resistance of SCC are improved, except for the 5% replacement ratio. Self-curing (SC) using polyethylene glycol (PEG400) has a positive effect on the properties of SCC.

Summary: This study examines the performance of concrete containing recycled PET waste in replacing fine aggregate. The experimental results show that replacing 10% of fine aggregate with recycled PET granules has a positive impact on the characteristics of the concrete, improving its workability and ductility. The mechanical properties of the concrete with PET granules show a strong linear relationship with available design guidelines. Overall, the study finds that replacing 10% of fine aggregate with PET granules results in the optimum performance.

Summary: Recycling is an important way to manage construction waste, reduce waste volume, and decrease exploitation of natural resources. This study found that increasing the replacement rate of recycled materials has an impact on the strength of concrete, but the reductions in strength are not statistically significant. The poor water absorption and weak adhesion of recycled materials are the main factors contributing to the decreased compressive strength.

Summary: This research study utilizes porcelain polishing residue (PPR) as a partial replacement of cement in concrete production and finds that a 15% replacement level gives the optimum compressive strength and flexural strength. It is also observed that the engineering properties of the concrete specimens are enhanced with this replacement level.

Summary: This study aimed to improve concrete properties by valorizing plastic and glass waste. By adding waste glass powder and plastic fibers, the concrete showed increased compressive and flexural strengths in the long-term. A combination of both wastes led to the highest compressive strength, with glass powder improving flexural strength. Incorporating glass powder also enhanced the ultrasonic pulse velocity of the concrete, making it more resistant to aggressive sulfuric acid attack.

Summary: Palm flower biochar can be a potential replacement for cement in pervious concrete, improving its various properties such as infiltration capacity, water absorption capacity, and porosity. However, excessive replacement can reduce the compressive strength of the concrete. The study also found that PFC replacement enhances the stiffness of the mix and improves the water purification ability of the samples.

Summary: This study explores the improvement of pervious concrete properties through the addition of fibers and different compaction methods. Short duration vibration was found to enhance mechanical properties of concrete, with fiber addition showing positive effects on mechanical properties but negative effects on porosity and permeability. Additional fibers had a more pronounced positive effect on vibrated mixtures.

Summary: This research aims to analyze the reliability of existing methods and establish new classifiers for assessing brick resistance to freeze-thaw cycles. Key classifiers including the median pore radius, ratio of compressive strengths pre- to post-freezing, and water desorption coefficient were identified to effectively distinguish between resistant and non-resistant bricks. The study highlights the significance of pore system characteristics in determining brick resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.

Summary: This paper presents an experimental investigation of the compressive behavior of high-strength self-compacting concrete exposed to temperatures up to 600 degrees C. The study found that mechanical properties sharply decreased and peak strain increased after 200 degrees C for all concrete compositions tested. Different mineral additives had an impact on residual compressive strength, peak strain, and residual modulus of elasticity. The strength loss observed in the regulatory code EN 1992-1-2 at temperatures up to 400 degrees C was found to be too conservative. The Popovics model provided a good approximation for the experimentally determined stress-strain curves at different temperatures.

Summary: Agricultural biomass ash, a potential bioenergy source, is still considered a waste without proper disposal and management solutions. This research focuses on the environmental impacts of using agricultural biomass ash in civil engineering practice. The study shows that adding agricultural biomass ash to the soil improves its geotechnical characteristics, but appropriate environmental risk assessment is necessary to prevent adverse effects.
