Durability of concrete incorporating organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display waste as cement binder replacement.

The use of supplementary cementitious materials is customary in contemporary concretes. Different industrial by-products and waste materials have been investigated earlier for such applications. In this paper, the use of organic light-emitting diode glass (OLED) display waste as a partial replacement of cement binder in concretes has been explored.

Determining the Fracture Process Zone Length and Mode I Stress Intensity Factor in Concrete Structures via Mechanoluminescent Technology.

The mechanoluminescent (ML) technology that is being developed as a new and substitutive technology for structural health monitoring systems (SHMS) comprises stress/strain sensing micro-/nanoparticles embedded in a suitable binder, digital imaging system, and digital image processing techniques. The potential of ML technology to reveal the fracture process zone (FPZ) that is commonly found in structural materials like concrete and to calculate the stress intensity factor (SIF) of concrete, which are crucial for SHMS, has never been done before. Therefore, the potential of ML technology to measure the length of the FPZ and to calculate the SIF has been demonstrated in this work by considering a single-edge notched bend (SENB) test of the concrete structures.

High Sulfate Attack Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Flumes Containing Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Waste Glass Powder.

To prevent chemical erosion of concrete and improve chemical resistance, reinforced concrete flumes were manufactured, conforming to the Korean Industrial Standards (KS). Two different sizes of liquid crystal display (LCD) waste glass powder (LWGP) particles were used (i.e.

Incorporating Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Glass Waste as Supplementary Cementing Material (SCM) in Cement Mortars-Rationale Based on Hydration, Durability, and Pore Characteristics.

This paper assesses the feasibility of using liquid crystal display (LCD) waste glass as a supplementary cementing material in cement mortars. Two different sizes of LCD waste glass powder (LGP) particles were used (5 µm and 12 µm) with two substitution levels with cement in mortar (10% and 20%). The resulting mortars were evaluated for strength, hydration, porosity and durability through various experimental techniques.

Synergistic Benefits of Using Expansive and Shrinkage Reducing Admixture on High-Performance Concrete.

High-performance concrete (HPC) is widely used in construction according to great mechanical properties, but it has a high risk of shrinkage cracking due to autogenous shrinkage stress. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the effect of a combination of expansive admixture (EA) and shrinkage reducing admixture (SA) on the autogenous shrinkage of high-performance concrete without heat treatment. Two different EA to cement weight ratios of 0.

Flowable Backfill Materials from Bottom Ash for Underground Pipeline.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between strength and strain in manufacturing controlled low strength materials to recycle incineration bottom ash. Laboratory tests for controlled low strength materials with bottom ash and recycled soil have been carried out. The optimum mixing ratios were 25%-45% of soil, 30% of bottom ash, 10%-20% of fly ash, 0%-3% of crumb rubber, 3% of cement, and 22% of water.
