Development of Ecoefficient Engineered Cementitious Composites Using Supplementary Cementitious Materials as a Binder and Bottom Ash Aggregate as Fine Aggregate

The purpose of this study is to develop ecoefficient engineered cementitious composites (ECC) using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), including fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (SL) as a binder material. The cement content of the ECC mixtures was replaced by FA and SL with a replacemen...

description The purpose of this study is to develop ecoefficient engineered cementitious composites (ECC) using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), including fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (SL) as a binder material. The cement content of the ECC mixtures was replaced by FA and SL with a replacement rate of 25%. In addition, the fine aggregate of the ECC was replaced by bottom ash aggregate (BA) with a substitution rate of 10%, 20%, and 30%. The influences of ecofriendly aggregates on fresh concrete properties and on mechanical properties were experimentally investigated. The test results revealed that the substitution of SCMs has an advantageous effect on fresh concrete’s properties; however, the increased water absorption and the irregular shape of the BA can potentially affect the fresh concrete’s properties. The substitution of FA and SL in ECC led to an increase in frictional bond at the interface between PVA fibers and matrix, improved the fiber dispersion, and showed a tensile strain capacity ranging from 3.3% to 3.5%. It is suggested that the combination of SCMs (12.5% FA and 12.5% SL) and the BA aggregate with the substitution rate of 10% can be effectively used in ECC preparation.
