Evaluating the Influence of Carbon Fiber on the Mechanical Characteristics and Electrical Conductivity of Roller-Compacted Concrete Containing Waste Ceramic Aggregates Exposed to Freeze-Thaw Cycling

Traditional methods of removing snow and ice from pavements using chemicals are combined with mechanical removal that involves a lot manpower, advanced machinery, harmful to the environment, damage pavements. Furthermore, annually, large quantities ceramic materials become waste due their fragile nature during processing, transport, installation, accumulation in has brought about environmental health-related concerns. Therefore, study aims investigate effect as replacement for fine aggregate roller compacted concrete (RCC) application carbon fiber improve properties electrical conductivity RCC. To achieve this goal, several tests such compressive strength, indirect tensile resistance, chloride ion penetration, specific gravity, skid resistance were carried out on fabricated samples before after freeze-thaw cycling exposure. The experimental results illustrated replacing ceramics fine-grained increased strength but had no noticeable influence strength. Freeze-thaw conditioning led reduction regardless type utilization. In containing aggregate, was reduced, by adding fiber, its increased. Exposure resulted an increase passing charge. Waste incorporation created similar mixture terms while contrast, slightly reduced resistance. addition, Besides, study, kernelized support vector regression (KSVR) radial bias function (RBF) neural network models proposed estimate (ITS) (CS) values. showed both have high performance estimating these values, RBF more efficient model.
