The density of lightweight concrete is about 0.56 that of the ordinary concrete. This type of concrete is commonly used as a flooring material in buildings. Thus there is possibility of its corrosion in different climatic conditions. In the present research, we would investigate the compressive strength and durability of the lightweight concrete in the acid environment, so that by specifying the corrosion rate, one could have a better understanding of the behavior of these concretes. For making the lightweight concrete in the present research use has been made of pumice aggregate in the mix design, and the acid used is 1M sulfuric acid. Also, the effect of adding two types of Nanomaterials i.e., Nano silica and Nano clay on the concrete behavior is assessed. The results have shown that in case of keeping the specimens of lightweight concrete in the acid environment for 90 days, their weight reaches 0.56 that of the ordinary specimens. The results of the current research have shown that the use of Nano silica and Nano lime per 10 wt% of cement could result in the increased compressive strength of the lightweight concrete. So that the concrete compressive strength per 10 wt% of Nano lime increases by 1.43%. On the other hand, the concrete durability in the acid solutions reaches the maximum value per addition of 5% Nano silica and 5% Nano lime, and has lost a lower percentage of its weight.PenPubJournal of Civil Engineering and Materials Application2676-332X3420191201Effect of Hybrid Fibers on Water absorption and Mechanical Strengths of Geopolymer Concrete based on Blast Furnace Slag19320110123210.22034/jcema.2020.101232ENAmir Bahador MoradikhouYoung Researchers and Elites club, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran.Alireza EsparhamYoung Researchers and Elites club, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran.Mohammad Jamshidi AvanakiSchool of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, 14155-6457, Tehran, Iran.0000-0003-2642-3821Journal Article20190218In recent years, geopolymers, as a new class of green cement binders, have gained significant attention as an environmental-friendly alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) which can potentially reduce negative environmental impacts of OPC. Fiber Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete (FRGPC) is known as a new type of concrete with enhanced ductility characteristics over conventional concrete. In this experimental study, hybrid fibers of 12mm modified polypropylene and 55mm polyolefin were used to manufacture FRGPC specimens based on Granulated Ground Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS). In this regard, FRGPC and non-fiber specimens were produced. The specimens were subjected to compressive, indirect tensile and 3-point flexural tests, as well as water absorption capacity and specific density studies. The obtained results showed that using hybrid fibers decreased the specific density and water absorption, a slight increase in compressive strength and a significant improvement in tensile and flexural strengths of FRGPC specimens compared to non-fiber specimens.PenPubJournal of Civil Engineering and Materials Application2676-332X3420191201Studying the Buckling Behavior of Composite Columns (CFST) by Cyclic Loading20321310178710.22034/jcema.2019.101787ENSeyed Ali Mousavi DavoudiDepartment of Structural Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Civil Engineering, Tabari Higher Education Center, Babol, Iran.0000-0003-1196-1870Morteza NaghipourFaculty of Engineering, Noshirvani University of Technology, Babol, Iran.Journal Article20190729One of the most sensitive decisions a structural designer should consider is choosing the type of consumables in the structure. This decision is in many cases dependent on the type of structure, financial issues also the experience and skill of the designer. The main aim pursued in the design is to obtain highly secure, economical structures. Concrete and steel are materials that are widely used in construction. The benefits of both materials are well known today. The clever combination of these two materials, an effective explosion-proof system, will have the effect of exploding explosions in the Plasco building in Tehran compared to using any of the materials. Lack of efficient performance factors, lack of clear and valid guidelines for the seismic design of such columns, how to model their geometry and material can still be obstacles to using such systems. In this research, according to the objectives of the problem, different parameters should be evaluated, this parameter is the type of column cross-section geometry. The aim is to determine the effect of defined parameters, especially column geometry, on the behavior and seismic capacity of composite columns) CFST(, achieving high resistivity, especially for columns that, incidentally, increase their loading exponentially with increasing classes. It is found that circular sections of composite columns )CFST( show better behavior and performance than columns with square geometry and further show that composite columns) CFST( can be used as a basic solution. Use it to solve challenges between designers and architects.PenPubJournal of Civil Engineering and Materials Application2676-332X3420191201In Vitro Evaluation of the Effect of SP200 Lubricant on Compressive Strength of Lightweight Concrete with Leca Aggregate and Powdered Silica21522310269910.22034/jcema.2020.102699ENNeda MohammadiBuilding Materials Institute, Apadana Institute of Higher Education, Shiraz, Iran.Davood Ghaedian RoniziDepartment of Civil Engineering, Eghlid Branch, Islamic Azad University, Shiraz, Iran.Journal Article20190814In today's advanced world and due to advances in various scientific fields of the concrete, industry has also evolved, and light concrete production is a result of these advances. It has had its advantages, many efforts have been made in the past to improve the quality and efficiency of concrete, and today the use of additives helps us to achieve this goal. The additive in this study is lubricant based on polycarboxylate brand SP200 and Powdered silica. The use of silica is also widely used in advanced countries due to its pozzolanic properties. In this study of 20 mixing designs, 2 of which were used as control sample and 18 with SP200 super-lubricant and micro silica powder, the results show that in the first mixing design with 0.49 water/cement ratio the highest compressive strength of The 7 and 28 days is related to M / 35/5 sample which has 0.35% super-lubricant and 5% micro silica powder And in the second mixing scheme with water/cement ratio of 0.55, the highest compressive strength is related to the sample of M /35/10 It contains 0.35% super-lubricant and 10% Powdered silica. The use of silica and super-lubricant in the manufacture of lightweight concrete has increased the compressive strength of lightweight concrete in some of the samples.PenPubJournal of Civil Engineering and Materials Application2676-332X3420191201An Analysis of the Shear Strength and Rupture Modulus of Polyolefin-Fiber Reinforced Concrete at Different Temperatures22523310282910.22034/jcema.2019.102829ENMoslem YousefvandDepartment of Structural Engineering, Vali Asr University, Rafsanjan, Iran.Yaser SharifiDepartment of Civil Engineering, Vali Asr University, Rafsanjan, Iran.Saeed YousefvandDepartment of Structural Engineering, Malayer University, Malayer, Iran.Journal Article20190724Structural engineers are generally aware of the intrinsic safety properties of concrete exposed to fire (non-flammability at high temperatures). However, the tendency of concrete for spalling at high temperatures is a significant defect, and recently many researchers have conducted studies on this issue. One of the primary objectives of this study is to assess the shear strength and modulus of rupture of concrete reinforced with different percentages of modified polyolefin synthetic fibers at different temperatures and to compare the results with the preliminary design. The other objective of the present study is to compare the behaviors of synthetic fiber concrete under the effect of the furnace temperature and direct fire. After adding fibers (1.5 volumetric percentage), a 29% increase in the tensile strength and a 56% increase in the modulus of rupture (the stress corresponding to the development of the first crack) were observed. Considering the fiber concrete results in the experimental temperature condition, it can put on an acceptable strength performance. However, at temperatures equal to or greater than 400 , the fibers lose their role in compensating the low tensile strength of concrete due to oxidation, causing porosity in the concrete and reducing its strength.
