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 ASTM C39, workability based on ASTM C143, splitting tensile strength based on ASTM C496, modulus of rupture (flexural strength) based on ASTM C78, and bond stress based on ASTM C234. Results indicate that while replacement of coarse aggregates with TDA results in reduction in strength, it may be mitigated with addition of silica fume to obtain the desired strength. The greatest benefit of using TDA is in the development of a higher ductile product while utilizing recycled TDA.

The use of composite materials, whether metallic or non-metallic, is becoming more popular nowadays because of some of their superior characteristics compared to the use of wood and metallic materials alone. From this perspective, a new natural fiber reinforced composite by varying the fiber orientation was developed in this study using coir and pineapple leaf fiber. This work uses the Taguchi method to investigate the different effects of control factors on mechanical and physical characteristics of the fabricated natural fiber-based composites.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties and degree of conversion of a novel 3D-printing model resin and compare it to eight commercially available model resins. An experimental resin formulated by our proprietary resin technology along with DentaModel, NextDent 2, KeyModel Ultra, Rodin Model, Die and Model 2, DMR III, LCD Grey, and Grey Resin were used in this study. Parallelepiped specimens (2 × 2 × 25 mm, n = 5) were printed and measured for their flexural strength (FS), flexural modulus (FM), and modulus of resilience (MR) in accordance with ISO-4049.

There are a large number of computer programs that allow you to automate computational and graphical operations for processing arrays of data and images. The foundations of these areas are very promising in the practice of solving problems of materials science, namely in metallography, based on the analysis of images of structures of metals and alloys. The standards describe various techniques, but they are all performed and calculated manually by the operator.

This study investigates the modification of bituminous mixtures by varying percentages of PET particles (1%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 10%, and 12% PET). The following methods were employed to analyze the samples: the ring-and-ball softening point determination method (ASTM D36/D36M-14), the Fraass breaking point determination method (EN 12593: 2015), the elongation determination method (EN 13589: 2014), and the needle penetration depth determination method (EN 1426: 2015). Optimal bitumen/PET ratios were identified to obtain modified bituminous mixtures (MBMs) with enhanced operational characteristics (5% and 8% PET).
