This study investigates the strength and permeability properties of pervious concrete-containing coal bottom ash (CBA) aggregates. Two pervious concrete mixtures were fabricated with different aggregate size distributions. One mixture contained CBA aggregates with a single-type distribution and the other mixture contained CBA aggregates with a hybrid-type distribution.

Porous concrete has recently gained increasing attention in the construction industry. To improve the properties of porous concrete, coal bottom ash (CBA) was used as the aggregate in the concrete mixtures studied herein. Hybrid CBA aggregates, including a 20% proportion of particles with sizes of 1.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the interlayer strength of 3D-printed mortar using two types of postinstalled reinforcement: one without overlap and another with 20 and 40 mm overlaps.
  • Different curing conditions (air and water) influenced the mechanical strengths (compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural tensile) based on the loading directions.
  • Results showed that while tensile stresses weakened the mortar, interlayer reinforcement improved strength and bonding, especially under water-curing conditions compared to air curing, which led to less effective bonding.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of curing and drying conditions on the strength properties of concrete containing coal bottom ash (CBA) and fly ash as substitutes for fine aggregates and cement, respectively. The strength properties of the concrete including CBA and fly ash were evaluated under two different curing and drying conditions: saturated surface-dry (SSD) conditions and oven-dried conditions at curing ages of 28 and 91 days. The natural fine aggregates of the mixtures were replaced by CBA fine aggregates at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by volume.
