Abstract

Various challenges encountered in the construction industry has led to the production of concrete, with not just high strength, but also with enhanced durability properties. Several research works have been carried out using replacement of constituent materials and introduction of various admixtures in concrete. Alccofine is one of such promising micro fine material. This study investigates the performance of hardened concrete using nano materials. Effects of alccofine (AL) and zinc oxide (ZnO) on the durability and strength of hardened concrete were explored. Series of tests were conducted by substituting cement by weight with 10% AL and adding ZnO in proportions, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1%. Based on the results obtained, the strength properties of concrete reduced as cement replacement level rose beyond 10%. The durability performance of the concrete, in terms of rapid chloride permeability, water permeability test, sea water attack and chloride resistance, was within acceptable limist, even as the ZnO was increased. This study has generally proposed a sustainable solution to produce durable concrete that could have useful aaplication in the construction industry.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
