Title: | Sustainable Development of Innovative Green Construction Materials: A Study for Economical Eco-Friendly Recycled Aggregate Based Geopolymer Concrete | Authors: | Alhazmi, Hatem SHAH, Syyed Mahmood, Atif |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | MDPI | Source: | MATERIALS, 13 (21) (Art N° 4881) | Abstract: | Green revolution and high carbon footprint concepts have attracted the development of a green and sustainable environment. This work endeavors to investigate the behavior of recycled aggregate geopolymer concrete (RAGC) developed with four different types of effluents to develop sustainability in the construction industry and to produce an eco-friendly environment. Each of the types of effluents was used by completely replacing the freshwater in RAGC to examine its influence on compressive strength (CS), chloride ion migration (CIM), split tensile strength (STS), and resistance to the sulfuric acid attack of RAGC at various testing ages. The test outputs portray that the effluent obtained from the textile mill performed well for the CS (25% higher than the control mix) and STS (17% higher than the control mix) of RAGC. Similarly, the highest mass loss of RAGC due to the acid attack (41% higher than control mix) and the highest CIM (29% higher than control mix) were represented by the RAGC mix made with effluent obtained from fertilizer mill. The statistical analysis indicated no significant influence of using textile mill effluent (TE), fertilizer mill effluent (FE), and sugar mill effluent (SE) on the STS, CIM, and mass loss due to acid attack while it presented a significant influence on the CS of various mixes. Therefore, this investigation solidly substantiates the acceptability of studied types of effluents for the fabrication of eco-friendly green materials. | Notes: | Shah, SAR (corresponding author), Pakistan Inst Engn & Technol, Dept Civil Engn, Multan 66000, Pakistan.; Shah, SAR (corresponding author), Univ Hasselt, Inst Mobiliteit, Wetenschapspk 5 Bus 6, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium. halhazmi@kacst.edu.sa; Syyed.adnanraheelshah@uhasselt.be; Amahmoo6@binghamton.edu |
