In this study, waste tire powder and waste liquid crystal display (LCD) glass sand are used as recycled materials. With a fixed water to binder ratio (W/B = 0.4), the use of fly ash and slag as cementreplacement materials. waste tire powder and waste LCD glass sand, which passed the sieve screen size # 30(0.595 mm), were used to replace fine aggregates at 0%, 5% and 10% in producing lightweight...

Household laundry as a new end use of recycled water in dual reticulation systems has a great potential as the significant amount of potable water from urban households can be saved. However, there is still no sufficient evidence and supporting recycled water quality guidelines for this particular use. A key gap in knowledge is the impact of heavy metals in recycled water on clothes and washing...

Coextruded recycled polyethylene and wood-flour composites with core–shell structure were manufactured using a pilot-scale coextrusion line. The influence of wood loadings and thickness of the shell layer and core quality on mechanical and water absorption properties of the composites were investigated. Core–shell structured profile can significantly improve flexural and impact strengths of com...

An irregular assignment is a k -labeling of the edges : {1, 2, , } f E k → ... such that the vertex weights (label sums of edges incident with the vertex) are different for all vertices of G . The smallest k for which there is an irregular assignment is the irregularity strength. The notion of irregularity strength was introduced by Chartrand et al. [8] and studied by numerous authors, see [6,1...

The (brittle) behavior of concrete, although used in many fields, impedes its use some applications that require (flexible) behavior, wherefore several types fibers were utilized among them polypropylene fiber (PPF), enhances pre-crack tensile strength, toughness, ductility performance, impact resistance, flexural strength and failure mode. This paper submits a comprehensive review previous stu...

In order to ascertain the fire resistance performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) components with different concrete compressive strengths, four full-scaled concrete columns were designed and tested under high temperature. Two of the four specimens were constructed by normal concrete with compressive strength ratings of C20 and C30, respectively, while the others were made from recycle...

Tire derived aggregate (TDA) has been proposed as a possible lightweight replacement for mineral aggregate in concrete. The role played by the amount of TDA replacing coarse aggregate as well as different treatment and additives in concrete on its properties is examined. Conventional concrete (without TDA) and concrete containing TDA are compared by examining their compressive strength based on...
