The study explores the mechanical and durability performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) made with different types of wastewater. Results show that RAC made with textile factory wastewater has the highest compressive strength and split tensile strength, while RAC made with domestic sewerage wastewater has the highest water absorption rate. The use of fertilizer factory wastewater leads to the highest mass loss and chloride penetration in RAC production.
The reuse of industrial wastewater and the recycling of construction and demolition waste material produced by the construction industry will lead to a sustainable environment by reducing the exploitation of the new natural resources and the waste deposit areas. The present study endeavors to investigate the mechanical and durability performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) made with five different kinds of wastewater taken from domestic sewerage, fertilizer factory, textile factory, sugar factory, and service station. The potable water was completely replaced with each kind of wastewater for the mixing of concrete to examine its effect on compressive strength (CS) and split tensile strength (STS), water absorption (WA), chloride penetration (CP), and resistance against sulfuric acid attack of RAC at various testing days. The results show that using the wastewater taken from the textile factory in the production of RAC presents the maximum CS (32.2 MPa) and STS (3 MPa) that were 19% and 16% higher than that of the RAC made with potable water. The use of wastewater taken from domestic sewerage for the mixing of RAC presented the highest WA (13.88%). The usage of wastewater taken from the fertilizer factory in the production of RAC depicted the maximum mass loss (19.62% at 120 days of testing) due to an attack of 4% H2SO4 and the highest CP (16.49 mm at 28 days of testing). The statistical analysis depicted a considerable difference among the CS and CP of RAC mixes while no considerable difference was depicted by the statistical tests for the WA, STS, and acid attack for various RAC mixes.

Experimental and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Modeling of Instream Vegetation Hydrodynamic Resistance

Afzal Ahmed, Manousos Valyrakis, Abdul Razzaq Ghumman, Rashid Farooq, Ghufran Ahmed Pasha, Shahmir Janjua, Ali Raza

Summary: This study investigates the influence of upstream structures on the bulk drag coefficient of vegetation using experimental methods that have not been previously explored. An embankment model with and without a moat/depression was placed upstream of the vegetation. The results indicate that the presence of an upstream structure leads to a reduction in the bulk drag coefficient of vegetation, with a maximum decrease of 11% observed when only the embankment was present and a decrease of 20% observed when both the embankment and moat models were present. Regression models and artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed to predict the bulk drag coefficient based on various influencing factors. The ANN model with nine neurons in each hidden layer performed the best, achieving the highest accuracy and lowest error values compared to the regression models.

Experiment and finite element modelling on compressive and damage evolution of graphene nanoplatelet reinforced Porous cement composites

Bangyu Cheng, Jinlong Yang, Yucheng Fan, Zhi Ni, Ziyan Hang, Bowen Zeng, Huanxun Liu, Chuang Feng

Summary: This study investigates the property-microstructure relationships in graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) reinforced cement composites (GNPRCCs) using three-dimensional finite element modeling and experiments. The results reveal that GNPs aligned at 45 degrees have the most significant impact on enhancing load-bearing capacity and damage resistance of the composites. A larger GNP diameter-to-thickness ratio is beneficial for crack bridging and propagation control. The orientation and porosity of pores have significant effects on the damage behaviors of the composites, while pore shape shows negligible effects. These findings provide key guidelines for optimizing microstructural features and improving the performance and durability of construction materials.
