Effect of self-healing on strength and durability of zeolite-immobilized bacterial cementitious mortar composites

There is a compelling economic incentive to develop concrete materials that can repair its own damage, increase durability and prevent structural failure. This research investigated the potential of adding two different mineral producing bacteria into two types of cementitious mortar matrix to enhance self-healing ability for autonomous crack repair. In this study, zeolite was used as a carrier material to protect bacteria in high pH environment normally exists in concrete. The spore forming ability and ureolytic activity of zeolite-immobilized bacteria were investigated in order to examine potential for producing healing compounds. The self-healing ability of bacteria incorporated normal and fiber reinforced mortars was judged based on the development of compressive strength and permeation properties of cracked specimens with age as well as micro-structural characterization of crack healing compounds using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction.

Adsorption efficiency and photocatalytic activity of fly ash-based geopolymer foam mortar

Fly ash-based geopolymer foam mortar (GFM) was used as an adsorbent material to methylene blue (MB) and also the dye removal material using the photocatalytic mechanism. The GFM, containing 50 wt% river sand aggregate, was prepared to have approximately 46% open porosity, pore size distribution between 0.01 and 3.5 mm, and water permeability of 0.2 cm/s. The variation of adsorption efficiency and adsorption capacity with the contact time of the GFM was first evaluated using various GFM dosages (10, 20, 50, 80, and 100 g/L). The adsorption efficiency at equilibrium (AE_e) was found to linearly increase, while adsorption capacity (q_ae) exponentially decayed, with an increase of loading dosages. The photocatalytic removal efficiency of ~100% was obtained with 50, 80, and 100 g/L GFM loading dosages, with a shorter time at higher dosages. The GFM could be reused, without regeneration, for 5 cycles. The AE_e and q_ae for each reused cycle did not noticeably change suggesting the reusability. The photocatalytic removal efficiency, however, was found to decrease with an increase of the reused cycle. After the 5^th cycle, the highest removal efficiency was reduced to ~70%. The attempts to treat the GFMs with hydrochloric (HCl) and phosphoric (H₃PO₄) acid to reduce the excess alkaline did not give satisfactory results as expected. The photocatalytic removal efficiency had subsided after the treatment with both acids.

Effects of light crude oil contamination on the physical and mechanical properties of geopolymer cement mortar

Fly ash and oil contaminated sand are considered as the two waste materials that may affect environment. This paper investigated the suitability of producing geopolymer cement mortar using oil contaminated sand. A comparison between physical and mechanical properties of mortar produced using geopolymer and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), in terms of porosity, hydration and compressive strength, was conducted. The results showed that heat curing can increase the compressive strength of geopolymer mortar up to 54% compared to ambient curing situation. The geopolymer mortar with 1% of light crude oil contamination yielded a 20% higher compressive strength than OPC mortar containing sand with a saturated surface dry condition. Furthermore, the formation of efflorescence decreased as the level of oil contamination decreased. Moreover, the heat curing method increased the kinetic energy and degree of reaction for geopolymer cement mortar, which cause an increment of the density of the pore system and improving the mechanical properties of the resulting composites. From the results of this study, it was demonstrated that geopolymer mortar has the potential of utilizing oil contaminated sand, and reducing its environmental impacts.

盐冻循环条件下SBS改性沥青砂浆的力学性能分析?

在寒冷地区,冬季路面极易出现积雪结冰现象,常使用融雪盐对路面进行融雪除冰,融雪盐的使用会对沥青混合料产生侵蚀。沥青砂浆作为沥青混凝土材料的重要组成部分,在力学性能方面发挥了极其重要的作用。对 SBS 改性沥青盐冻循环前后的三大指标(针入度、软化点和延度)进行了测试,对经历不同盐冻循环的沥青砂浆试件进行单轴压缩蠕变实验,并通过扫描电镜(SEM)研究其微观结构的变化。结果表明,冻融循环和荷载应力会造成沥青砂浆力学性能的下降,因此在昼夜温差较大的北方寒冷地区的冬季应尽量限制重载车辆的通行量以及融雪盐的用量,以减少对路面结构的损坏。
