Activity 3: Production of concrete with composite waste material

Activity 3: Production of concrete with composite waste material

 

A3.1 – Definition of possible mix designs: reference concrete and concretes with different percentages of cement, sand, and coarse aggregate replacement with composite material waste
A3.2 – Casting of specimens for chemical, physical, and mechanical tests
A3.3 – Fresh concrete physical tests (workability, density)
A3.4 – Mechanical tests at 7 and 28 days (compression strength, tensile strength, three-point bending test with CMOD control, and determination of residual strengths and fracture energy)
A3.5 – Physical tests on hardened concrete (density, shrinkage, total water absorption, capillary absorption)
A3.6 – Chemical analyses on cement matrices containing composite waste in different sizes
A3.7 – Durability/corrosion tests on reinforced concrete samples
