Publication Specimen size and shape effects on strength of concrete in the absence and presence of steel fibers(Pontificia Univ Catolica Chile, Escuela Construccion Civil, 2021-04-01) Nobakhtjoo, Amir; Mardani-Aghabaglou, Ali; MARDANİ, ALİ; Bayqra, Sultan Husein; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi.; 0000-0003-0326-5015; AAJ-6415-2021; C-7860-2015In this research, the effects of size and shape on compressive and splitting tensile strength of fibrous and non-fibrous concrete specimens with different characteristic strength were investigated. With this aim, both fibrous and non-fibrous 10 different concrete mixtures with 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0. 7 Water/Cement ratio were prepared. In the fibrous mixture specimens, the total amount of steel fibers to 1% by total volume. In the entire specimens, 42.5 R type Portland cement were used as bonding elements while crushed lime stones in 3 sizes were added to the mixtures. Furthermore, to evaluate the influence of size and shapes over specimens' strength, for each concrete mixtures two 10 cm and 15 cm cubic specimen beside two 10x20 cm and 15x30 cm cylindrical specimens were prepared as well. The prepared specimens were subjected to compressive and splitting tensile tests. The results showed that, regardless of the fiber amount and specimens' shapes, the decrease in specimens' size resulted in higher strength. But in the high ratio of Water/Cement and fibrous mixtures, the mentioned behavior was not observed.Publication Durability performance and dimensional stability of road concrete containing dry-shake surface hardener admixture(Elsevier, 2021-03-08) Mardani-Aghabaglou, Ali; Karakuzu, Kemal; Kobya, Veysel; Hatungimana, Daniel; MARDANİ, ALİ; Karakuzu, Kemal; Kobya, Veysel; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/İnşaat Mühendisliği; 0000-0003-0326-5015; 0000-0002-1023-3962; FEQ-9214-2022; GBH-3020-2022; C-7860-2015Durability and dimensional stability problems are emerged in road concrete due to traffic loads and environmental factors. The concrete surface treatment is one of the preferred methods to solve these problems economically. As it is known, surface treatment is applied to the concrete surface as dry-shaking and liquid. It is understood from the literature that there are very limited studies about the use of dry-shake hardener admixture in concrete mixtures. In the present study, the effect of dry-shake surface hardener admixture application on mechanical, durability and dimensional stability properties of concrete mixtures having different w/b ratios were investigated. Totally ten series of concrete mixtures coated with and without dry-shake surface hardener admixture were prepared for this purpose. The slump value of concrete mixtures was determined as 85 +/- 5 mm. Vebe, slump and air content tests were performed for each mixture in fresh state and unit weights of mixtures were calculated. Also, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, transport properties, abrasion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance and drying shrinkage behavior were investigated on the 7, 28 and 90-day specimens. In the light of the experiment results, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, water sorptivity, abrasion resistance and drying shrinkage behavior of concrete mixtures were positively affected with adding of dry-shake surface hardener admixture. However, it was found that the dry-shake surface hardener admixture application had no significant effect on water absorption, depth of water penetration under pressure and freezing-thawing performances.

Having different production techniques from conventional concrete, RCC is used in many areas such as factories, oil stations, airports, industrial floor coverings, roads and dams. There are several methods for the proportioning of RCC mixtures, among which maximum density method is the most preferred one. In this study, the methods of designing of RCC mixtures are explained with an emphasis on the maximum density method. In addition, the previous studies on the RCC mixtures designed with the maximum density method are reviewed and suggestions are made for the future researches.Publication Adsorption properties of polycarboxylate ether-based high range water reducing admixture on cementitious systems: A review(Elsevier, 2021-11-05) Karakuzu, Kemal; Kobya, Veysel; Mardani-Aghabağlou, Ali; Felekoğlu, Burak; Ramyar, Kambiz; Karakuzu, Kemal; Kobya, Veysel; MARDANİ, ALİ; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/İnşaat Mühendisliği Bölümü; 0000-0002-1023-3962; 0000-0003-0326-5015; C-7860-2015; GBH-3020-2022; FEQ-9214-2022Adsorption of polycarboxylateether-based water-reducing admixtures (PCE) on the cement surface affects many properties of cementitious systems, especially fluidity. One of the most important parameters affecting the adsorption behavior of PCE is the anionic group properties. Therefore, understanding the anionic group properties of PCE is of great importance for cement-admixture compatibility. In this study, the effects of PCE's anionic group variation and cement properties on cement-admixture compatibility, especially adsorption, were reviewed based on the studies conducted in the literature. It was observed that phosphate and organo-silane substituted PCEs at certain rates have a positive influence on the fresh state properties of cementitious systems due to adsorption improvement and sulfate resistance. In addition, the fresh state properties of the cementitious system were negatively affected as the C3A content and the increment in fineness of the cement increased the admixture requirement. It was emphasized that the effect of pozzolan utilization on the adsorption properties of PCE in cementitious systems should be considered. Information was given about the properties of PCE recommended for use in the presence of pozzolan.Publication Recycling of sewage sludge incineration ashes as construction material(Gazi Üniversitesi Mühendislik Mimarlık Fakültesi, 2020-01-01) Yiğit, Berna; Salihoğlu, Güray; Mardani-Aghabaglou, Ali; Salihoğlu, Nezih Kamil; Özen, Süleyman; Yiğit, Berna; SALİHOĞLU, GÜRAY; MARDANİ, ALİ; SALİHOĞLU, NEZİH KAMİL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Çevre Mühendisliği Bölümü; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/İnşaat Mühendisliği Bölümü; 0000-0003-0714-048X; 0000-0003-0326-5015; AAG-9399-2021; AAG-9413-2021; AAJ-6415-2021; C-7860-2015; EHO-7411-2022Sewage sludges that are originating from the municipal wastewater treatment plants of Bursa city have been incinerated with a fluidized bed reactor of 400 tons/day capacity since 2017. Each month, on an average, 615 tons of ash is generated as a waste of the incineration process, which needs disposal. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the sludge incinerator ash can be recycled as a construction material. Stabilization/solidification (S/S) and geopolymerization technologies were applied to the sludge ash with this aim. Portland cement, fly ash from a coal-fired power plant, and marble sludge were used as binders. S/S samples were activated with water, while geopolymer samples were activated with 8MNaOH and NaSilNaOH solutions. The prepared paste samples were air-cured for 28 days and analyzed for compressive strength and heavy metals leaching. S/S samples containing sludge ash yielded a compressive strength level of 21.8 MPa, while geopolymer samples resulted in a compressive strength level of 50.0 MPa. Higher compressive strength levels of several samples containing waste sludge ash than that of the control samples without waste were noticed. Leaching tests showed that heavy metals leaching from the samples prepared with sludge ash were much lower than the legal limit values for toxicity. Both leaching tests and compressive strength tests showed that sludge ash has the potential to be considered as a construction material.Publication Durability performance and dimensional stability of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete(College Publishing, 2018-03-01) Mardani-Aghabaglou, Ali; Özen, Süleyman; Altun, Muhammet Gökhan; MARDANİ, ALİ; Özen, Süleyman; Altun, Muhammet Gökhan; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/İnşaat Mühendisliği Bölümü; 0000-0003-0326-5015; 0000-0001-5522-427X; C-7860-2015; AAJ-6415-2021; AAM-9495-2020; CBF-4437-2022In this study, the durability performance and dimensional stability of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete mixture were investigated. For this purpose, two series of concrete mixtures, including a 0.45 water/cement ratio was prepared both in the absence and presence of fiber. A CEMI 42.5 R type portland cement and crushed limestone aggregate with a maximum particle size of 25 mm were used. In addition to the control mixture without fiber, three different concrete mixtures were prepared by adding polypropylene fiber as 0.4%, 0.8% and 1% of total volume into the mixture. The time-dependent fresh state properties, strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, transport properties, drying shrinkage and freeze-thaw resistance of concrete mixtures, sodium sulfate attack and abrasion were investigated comparatively. Test results demonstrated that utilization of fiber affected the fresh properties of the concrete mixtures negatively. However, the 0.8% fiber-bearing mixture showed the highest performance in terms of durability and dimensional stability. Beyond this utilization ratio, the durability performance of the concrete mixture was negatively affected. The risk of nonhomogeneous dispersion of the fiber in the mixture was relatively high in the excess fiber-bearing mixture. Consequently, with the formation of flocculation in the mixture the void ratio of concrete mixture increased.Publication Effects of material properties on the mechanical and durability behaviors of khorasan mortar mixtures: A review(Taylor, 2021-03-05) İsafça, Tuğçe; Karakuzu, Kemal; Özen, Süleyman; Doğangün, Adem; Mardani-Aghabaglou, Ali; İsafça, Tuğçe; Karakuzu, Kemal; DOĞANGÜN, ADEM; MARDANİ, ALİ; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/İnşaat Mühendisliği Bölümü; 0000-0002-9331-1339; 0000-0002-1023-3962; 0000-0002-1867-7103; 0000-0003-0326-5015; AAR-6126-2020; C-7860-2015; GBH-3020-2022; GFM-1667-2022Historical buildings are an important piece of our cultural heritage. It is important that the materials used in the preservation, repair and reinforcement applications of these structures should be compatible with the existing structure. In many of the historical buildings in Turkey, it was reported use of the Khorasan mortar as the masonry mortar and plaster. Khorasan mortar contains slaked lime as a binder, river sand, and clayey materials as aggregate, which are fired at high temperature. It was emphasized that this mortar is an essential building material widely used in the construction and repair of historical buildings from past to present. In this study, the effects of binder, aggregate, chemical admixture, organic admixture, and fiber properties on the mechanical and durability performance of Khorasan mortar and lime-based mortar mixtures were investigated. For this purpose, a comprehensive literature research was carried out on this subject. In addition, the positive and negative effects of these materials on the mortar mixture were emphasized.Publication Utilization of high-range water reducing admixture having air-entraining agents in cementitious systems(Elsevier, 2022-11-29) Şahin, Hatice Gizem; Mardani, Ali; Özen, Süleyman; Emin, Ayvaz; ŞAHİN, HATİCE GİZEM; MARDANİ, ALİ; EMİN, AYVAZ; 0000-0002-8915-879X; 0000-0003-0326-5015; GNY-1454-2022; C-7860-2015; IAQ-9713-2023Utilization of admixtures with different action mechanisms has increased by combining them both physically and chemically. The effect of the use of modified water reducing admixture hav-ing air-entraining agents on the some fresh and hardened state properties of concrete mixtures was investigated in this study. It was determined that the utilization of air-entraining admixtures (AEA) increases the workability of fresh concrete due to the fact that it creates spherical-shaped air bubbles in matrix. However, there are contradictions about the effect of cementitious systems on rheological properties in the literature. Also, compatibility problems may occur when high range water-reducing admixtures (HRWRA) and AEA are used together in mixtures. It was re-ported that the use of HRWRA causes an increase in the spacing factor and the action perfor-mance of the AEA is adversely affected. However, it was understood that limited studies were car-ried out on increasing the compatibility of these admixtures in the literature. The methods that can be applied to prevent these incompatibilities were evaluated. First, the incompatibility be-tween them can be reduced by optimizing the order of adding the admixtures (HRWRA and AEA) to the mixture. Secondly, it was understood that the use of water-reducing admixtures modified with air-entraining properties in concrete mixtures can eliminate the stated incompatibilities.Publication Effects of shrinkage reducing admixture and polypropylene fiber utilization on some fresh state, mechanical and durability properties of khorasan mortar(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2022-07-16) Özen, Süleyman; İsafca-Kaya, Tuğce; Karakuzu, Kemal; Mardani, Ali; MARDANİ, ALİ; Doğangün, Adem; DOĞANGÜN, ADEM; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/İnşaat Mühendisliği Bölümü.; 0000-0002-1023-3962; 0000-0001-5522-427X; 0000-0003-0326-5015; 0000-0002-1867-7103; AAR-6126-2020; C-7860-2015; AAJ-6415-2021This study aimed to improve the mechanical and durability properties of Khorasan mortar, a type of lime-based mortar, using polypropylene shrinkage reducing admixture (SRA) and fiber. In addition to the control mixture without fiber and chemical admixture, three series of mixtures were prepared. The first series contains 0.4-0.6-0.8% polypropylene fiber by total volume; the second series contains SRA at the 0.05-0.1-0.15% by binder weight; the third series consists of mixtures containing both fiber and the SRA. Within the scope of the study, some fresh state, mechanical and durability properties were determined. The results show that utilization of fiber and SRA reduced the length change depending on drying-shrinkage and mass loss due to abrasion compared to the control mixture. In addition, the 90-day flexural and compressive strength values for all mixtures were lower than the 28-day results. It was determined that the decrease in strength values is less than the control mixture with the utilization of fiber and SRA because of the degradation in drying-shrinkage.
