Öğe Experimental and numerical investigation on flexural response of reinforced rubberized concrete beams using waste tire rubber(Techno-Press, 2023) Karalar, Memduh; Ozturk, Hakan; Ozkilic, Yasin OnuralpThe impacts of waste tire rubber (WTR) on the bending conduct of reinforced concrete beams (RCBs) are investigated in visualization of experimental tests and 3D finite element model (FEM) using both ANSYS and SAP2000. Several WTR rates are used in total 4 various full scale RCBs to observe the impact of WTR rate on the rupture and bending conduct of RCBs. For this purpose, the volumetric ratios (Vf) of WTR were chosen to change to 0%, 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% in the whole concrete. In relation to experimental test consequences, bending and rupture behaviors of the RCBs are observed. The best performance among the beams was observed in the beams with 2.5% WTR. Furthermore, as stated by test consequences, it is noticed that while WTR rate in the RCBs is improved, max. bending in the RCBs rises. For test consequences, it is clearly recognized as WTR rate in the RCB mixture is improved from 0% to 2.5%, deformation value in the RCB remarkably rises from 3.89 cm to 7.69 cm. This consequence is markedly recognized that WTR rates have a favorable result on deformation values in the RCBs. Furthermore, experimental tests are compared to 3D FEM consequences via using ANSYS software. In the ANSYS, special element types are formed and nonlinear multilinear misses plasticity material model and bilinear misses plasticity material model are chosen for concrete and compression and tension elements. As a consequence, it is noticed that each WTR rates in the RCBs mixture have dissimilar bending and rupture impacts on the RCBs. Then, to observe the impacts of WTR rate on the constructions under near-fault ground motions, a reinforced-concrete building was modelled via using SAP2000 software using 3-D model of the construction to complete nonlinear static analysis. Beam, column, steel haunch elements are modeled as nonlinear frame elements. Consequently, the seismic impacts of WTR rate on the lateral motions of each floor are obviously investigated particularly. Considering reduction in weight of structure and capacity of the members with using waste tire rubber, 2.5% of WTR resulted in the best performance while the construction is subjected to near fault earthquakes. Moreover, it is noticeably recognized that WTR rate has opposing influences on the seismic displacement behavior of the RC constructions.Öğe Experimental and numerical investigation on flexural response of reinforced rubberized concrete beams using waste tire rubber(Techno-Press, 2023) Karalar, Memduh; Ozturk, Hakan; Ozkilic, Yasin OnuralpThe impacts of waste tire rubber (WTR) on the bending conduct of reinforced concrete beams (RCBs) are investigated in visualization of experimental tests and 3D finite element model (FEM) using both ANSYS and SAP2000.

Pursuant to this goal, a total of 15 specimens were manufactured and then tested to examine the bending behavior. The effects of longitudinal reinforcement ratio and waste marble powder ratio were selected as variables. The experimental results showed that different proportions of tension reinforcement and waste marble powder had different crack and bending impacts on reinforced concrete beams. As the waste marble powder amount in the concrete mixture is increased from 0% to 40%, it was detected that the crack type changes from a shear crack from to a flexural crack as the amount of waste marble powder increases in the mixing ratio. The experimental findings revealed that the waste marble powder can be successfully used as 10% of the partial replacement of cement. Increasing the waste marble powder ratio by more than 10% can significantly decrease the capacity of the beams, especially when longitudinal reinforcement ratio is high. The influence of waste marble as partial replacement on the capacity decreases as the longitudinal reinforcement ratio decreases. Therefore, 10%-20% marble waste can be utilized as a replacement for cement when the longitudinal reinforcement ratio is close to the balanced ratio and more than 20% waste marble ratio should be avoided for any cases.Öğe Improvement in Bending Performance of Reinforced Concrete Beams Produced with Waste Lathe Scraps(Mdpi, 2022) Karalar, Memduh; Ozkilic, Yasin Onuralp; Deifalla, Ahmed Farouk; Aksoylu, Ceyhun; Arslan, Musa Hakan; Ahmad, Mahmood; Sabri, Mohanad Muayad SabriIn this study, the impacts of different proportions of tension reinforcement and waste lathe scraps on the failure and bending behavior of reinforced concrete beams (RCBs) are clearly detected considering empirical tests. Firstly, material strength and consistency test and then 1/2 scaled beam test have been carried out. For this purpose, a total of 12 specimens were produced in the laboratory and then tested to examine the failure mechanism under flexure. Two variables have been selected in creating text matrix. These are the longitudinal tension reinforcement ratio in beams (three different level) and volumetric ratio of waste lathe scraps (four different level: 0%, 1%, 2% and 3%). The produced simply supported beams were subjected to a two-point bending test. To prevent shear failure, sufficient stirrups have been used. Thus, a change in the bending behavior was observed during each test. With the addition of 1%, 2% and 3% waste lathe scraps, compressive strength escalated by 11.2%, 21.7% and 32.5%, respectively, compared to concrete without waste. According to slump test results, as the waste lathe scraps proportion in the concrete mixture is increased, the concrete consistency diminishes. Apart from the material tests, the following results were obtained from the tests performed on the beams. It is detected that with the addition of lathe waste, the mechanical features of beams improved. It is observed that different proportions of tension reinforcement and waste lathe scraps had different failure and bending impacts on the RCBs. While there was no significant change in stiffness and strength, ductility increased considerably with the addition of lathe waste.Öğe Influence of Replacing Cement with Waste Glass on Mechanical Properties of Concrete(Mdpi, 2022) Zeybek, Ozer; Ozkilic, Yasin Onuralp; Karalar, Memduh; Celik, Ali Ihsan; Qaidi, Shaker; Ahmad, Jawad; Burduhos-Nergis, Dumitru DoruIn this study, the effect of waste glass on the mechanical properties of concrete was examined by conducting a series of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength tests. According to this aim, waste glass powder (WGP) was first used as a partial replacement for cement and six different ratios of WGP were utilized in concrete production: 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. To examine the combined effect of different ratios of WGP on concrete performance, mixed samples (10%, 20%, 30%) were then prepared by replacing cement, and fine and coarse aggregates with both WGP and crashed glass particles. Workability and slump values of concrete produced with different amounts of waste glass were determined on the fresh state of concrete, and these properties were compared with those of plain concrete. For the hardened concrete, 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm cubic specimens and cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 200 mm were tested to identify the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of the concrete produced with waste glass. Next, a three-point bending test was carried out on samples with dimensions of 100 x 100 x 400 mm, and a span length of 300 mm to obtain the flexure behavior of different mixtures. According to the results obtained, a 20% substitution of WGP as cement can be considered the optimum dose. On the other hand, for concrete produced with combined WGP and crashed glass particles, mechanical properties increased up to a certain limit and then decreased owing to poor workability. Thus, 10% can be considered the optimum replacement level, as combined waste glass shows considerably higher strength and better workability properties. Furthermore, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was performed to investigate the microstructure of the composition. Good adhesion was observed between the waste glass and cementitious concrete. Lastly, practical empirical equations have been developed to determine the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexure strength of concrete with different amounts of waste glass. Instead of conducting an experiment, these strength values of the concrete produced with glass powder can be easily estimated at the design stage with the help of proposed expressions.Öğe Mechanical behavior in terms of shear and bending performance of reinforced concrete beam using waste fire clay as replacement of aggregate(Elsevier, 2023) Ozkilic, Yasin Onuralp; Basaran, Bogachan; Aksoylu, Ceyhun; Karalar, Memduh; Martins, Carlos HumbertoIn this experimental and analytical study, waste fire clay (WFC) was consumed by the use of replacing fine aggregate (FA) in confident amounts. It is targeted to remove the current sustainable complications by confirming the consumption of WFC in reinforced concrete beams (RCBs) as raw materials. For this purpose, FAs were partially replaced with WFC in proportions of 0 %, 10 %, 20 %, and 30 %. Based on this motivation, a series of experimental studies were performed on 12 + 12 small-scale bending and shear RCBs of 100x150x1000mm, considering altered WFC and stirrup spacing. While the percentage of WFC in the RCBs was selected as 0 %, 10 %, 20 %, and 30 % by weight, correspondingly, the longitudinal reinforcement was taken into account as Phi 12, Phi 10, Phi 8. Besides, while the longitudinal tension and compression reinforcements of constant 2 Phi 12 and 2 Phi 6, the stirrup spacing was chosen as 160 mm, 200 mm, and 270 mm. As a result of the study, increasing the tensile reinforcement ratio has made the WFC less effective. Similarly, as stirrup spacing decreases, stirrup dominates the behavior, and as stirrup spacing increases, WFC determines the behavior. Finally, while the WFC content for bending RCBs increases the ability at the maximum level for the range of 20 % 30 %, it can be said that the optimum WFC content for shear RCBs is 20 %. The experimental results were obtained with the prediction of ACI-318 and the reason for the difference between the expected and actual values can be explained in detail.Öğe Mechanical Behavior of Crushed Waste Glass as Replacement of Aggregates(Mdpi, 2022) Celik, Ali Ihsan; Ozkilic, Yasin Onuralp; Zeybek, Ozer; Karalar, Memduh; Qaidi, Shaker; Ahmad, Jawad; Burduhos-Nergis, Dumitru DoruIn this study, ground glass powder and crushed waste glass were used to replace coarse and fine aggregates. Within the scope of the study, fine aggregate (FA) and coarse aggregate (CA) were changed separately with proportions of 10%, 20%, 40%, and 50%. According to the mechanical test, including compression, splitting tensile, and flexural tests, the waste glass powder creates a better pozzolanic effect and increases the strength, while the glass particles tend to decrease the strength when they are swapped with aggregates. As observed in the splitting tensile test, noteworthy progress in the tensile strength of the concrete was achieved by 14%, while the waste glass used as a fractional replacement for the fine aggregate. In samples where glass particles were swapped with CA, the tensile strength tended to decrease. It was noticed that with the adding of waste glass at 10%, 20%, 40%, and 50% of FA swapped, the increase in flexural strength was 3.2%, 6.3%, 11.1%, and 4.8%, respectively, in amount to the reference one (6.3 MPa). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis consequences also confirm the strength consequences obtained from the experimental study. While it is seen that glass powder provides better bonding with cement with its pozzolanic effect and this has a positive effect on strength consequences, it is seen that voids are formed in the samples where large glass pieces are swapped with aggregate and this affects the strength negatively. Furthermore, simple equations using existing data in the literature and the consequences obtained from the current study were also developed to predict mechanical properties of the concrete with recycled glass for practical applications. Based on findings obtained from our study, 20% replacement for FA and CA with waste glass is recommended.Öğe Optimum usage of waste marble powder to reduce use of cement toward eco-friendly concrete(Elsevier, 2023) Ozkilic, Yasin Onuralp; Zeybek, Ozer; Bahrami, Alireza; Celik, Ali Ihsan; Mydin, Md Azree Othuman; Karalar, Memduh; Hakeem, Ibrahim Y.In this study, waste marble powder (WMP) was used to replace cement of concrete in specific amounts. To accomplish this aim, WMP was replaced at 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% of the cement weight, and a reference concrete sample without WMP (REF) was created to compare the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength. The replacement of WMP at 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% of the cement weight resulted in 5.7%, 21.7%, 38.1%, and 43.6% decreases in the compressive strength compared with REF. Furthermore, the splitting tensile strength results commonly followed the same trend as the compressive strength. However, WMP at 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% led to 5.3%, 8.6%, 19.4%, and 26.7% decreases in the flexural strength compared with REF. In addition, three different calculations, ranging from simple to complex, were proposed to compute me-chanical resistances of concrete with WMP. These proposed calculations for practical ap-plications were validated using values from the literature and the implications obtained from the current research. While the simple calculations were based on the strength of REF and the WMP percentages, the complex calculations were dependent on the design of the concrete mixture, age of the samples, and the WMP percentages. For the complex calcu-lations, the ANN approach was used with the help of the coefficient of determination (R2) for the K-fold cross validation method. All the proposed methods provided high accurate estimation to predict the properties of concrete with WMP. Based on the studies, utilizing 10% WMP as the replacement of cement is recommended to obtain the optimum benefits considering both mechanical and environmental aspects. Moreover, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses were then conducted to observe the interaction of WMP in concrete. According to the SEM analyses, some pores were detected and the interfacial transition zone was observed in the reaction zone. On the other hand, based on the EDX analyses, the presence of WMP in concrete was manifested by the presence of high levels of calcium.(c) 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.

Within the scope of the study, a total of 12 RC beams with five different opening diameter-to-beam depth ratios (0, 0.20, 0.27, 0.33, 0.40, and 0.47) and two shear reinforcement ratios were tested to failure under four-point bending. The load capacities, ductilities, rigidities and energy dissipation capacities in the elastic and plastic ranges of beam behavior were compared. Furthermore, the load capacities of the beams were compared to the existing analytical shear strength formulations in the literature. The test results indicated that whether an RC beam with openings has adequate or inadequate amounts of shear reinforcement, the frame-type shear failure becomes much more pronounced with increasing opening diameter. The reductions in the load capacity and modulus of toughness with increasing opening diameter are more considerable in the presence of inadequate amounts of shear reinforcement, while the beam ductility is less affected in shear-deficient RC beams with openings as compared to the ones with adequate shear reinforcement.Öğe Shear behaviour of reinforced concrete beams utilizing waste marble powder(Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Basaran, Bogachan; Aksoylu, Ceyhun; Ozkilic, Yasin Onuralp; Karalar, Memduh; Hakamy, AhmadToday, it has been determined that waste marble dust (WMD) is not evaluated and therefore creates environmental problems. For this reason, in this study, the usability of WMD in different proportions, in which waste materials are evaluated, was investigated. Thus, it is aimed to eliminate the existing environmental problems by ensuring the use of WMD in reinforced concrete beams (RCBs). Pursuant to this motivation, an experimental program was carried out on 15 shear deficient RCBs, considering different WMD and stirrup spacing. While the proportion of WMD in the RCBs was chosen as 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% by weight, respectively, the stirrup spacing was considered as 270 mm, 200 m, and 160 mm. Concrete compressive strength (CCS) is generally adversely affected while WMD is used instead of cement at 10% or more rates. In RCB samples with the stirrup spacing of 270 mm, 200 mm, and 160 mm, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% WMD additives reduced the bearing capacity of the RCBs compared to the reference sample. It has been observed that ACI 318 (2019) and EC2 (2004) design regulations demonstrate excellent performance (maximum 85% success) in estimating shear strength up to 20% marble dust admixture in RCBs where the stirrup spacing is 200 mm and 160 mm. The results revelaed that using up to 5% of WMD instead of cement has approximately no negative influence on the CCS. Nevertheless, if this percentage is chosen as 10% or more, it has been found that the CCS is commonly destructively affected.Öğe Shear performance of reinforced expansive concrete beams utilizing aluminium waste(Elsevier, 2023) Ozkilic, Yasin Onuralp; Karalar, Memduh; Aksoylu, Ceyhun; Beskopylny, Alexey N.; Stel'makh, Sergey A.; Shcherban, Evgenii M.; Qaidi, ShakerShear damage is a catastrophic failure in the design of reinforced concrete structural ele-ments. To prevent it, the effect of aluminum wastes on reinforced concrete shear beams was investigated in this study. There is a gap in the scientific field on the expanding concrete with aluminium waste, and no research has been done on the utilizing of aluminum waste to produce expandable concrete. Moreover, there is a gap in expandable concrete usage with aluminum waste reinforcing, which is crucial for engineering applications especially beams, slabs and columns. For this purpose, experimental investigations were performed on a total of 12 Reinforced Concrete Beams (RCB) with different aluminum waste ratio (0, 1, 2 and 3 vol.%) and different shear reinforcement spacing (270, 200 and 160 mm). The depth span ratio was chosen as 1.6, 2.0 and 2.7. RCB was simply supported on the loading frame and subjected to four-points bending. As a result of experimental tests for each sample, the maximum load, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity were calculated. It was observed that the load capacity of the Al refuse combined RCBs raises as the vacancy of the stirrup rein -forcement reductions compared with reference RCBs. Furthermore, it was found that the load capacity of the RCBs reduced as the Al refuse quantity in the concrete mixture was increased from 0% to 3%. However, it was found that the decrease in load capacity for 1 vol.% aluminum waste could be tolerated. For this reason, it can be stated that aluminum waste (AW) in reinforced concrete shear beams will contribute to the beam up to 1%.& COPY; 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

For this aim, the molarity values of the NaoH concentration consumed in this investigation were determined as 11, 13 and 16. At the end of the examinations, work-ability, setting time, compression strength (CS) test, splitting tensile (ST) tests and flexural strength (FS) tests are performed. The conclusions demonstrated that the slump values increased as the molarity increased and waste glass (WG) percentages decreased. While concerning CS, ST and FS examinations, as the proportion in the combination was increased, these test results tend to decrease correspondingly. While the proportion of molarity of NaOH proportion was altered from 11 to 13 and 13 to 16, these test results tend to increase. This examination study demonstrates that glass aggregate had also a slight adverse influence on capacity and workability. Moreover, the use of 10% glass aggregate with NaOH molarity of 16 is suggested to gain the optimum sustainable GPC considering both fresh and hardening properties as the combined influence of WGA and NaOH molarity. Furthermore, in this examination, the offered strength models are established and related to those built on several standard codes. More importantly is that an equation is derived to predict the compressive strength of the geopolymer mixture utilized in this study. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was achieved on the example parts attained from GPC examples formed with WGA.(c) 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.

For experimental purposes, different concrete series are considered varying aggregate sizes ranging from 0 to 25 mm. To supplement concrete, bottom ash is put to use in conjunction with material from 0-5 mm in size aggregate particles as replacement for fine aggregates with ratios of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Experiments were done to investigate the behavior of the beams and how flexural and fracture behaviors are represented. 75% BARs gave optimum results in terms of displacement capacity. Increasing BAR to 100% decrease deflection capacity of the beam. Also, ANSYS software is used to build 3D finite element models (FEMs) of beams to compare with experiment data. Experimental and 3D numerical tests show exceptionally tight flexural and fracture behaviors. Following this, a computer-generated structure is made by running SAP 2000, and the strength of the beams is then utilised in an RC structural model. Every stage of the building's construction is thoroughly assessed utilizing multiple types of seismic testing, employing the SAP2000 program, with the resulting analysis providing significant findings on how the seismic force of 75% BAR affects horizontal displacement of each floor. The results showed that the weight of the structure dramatically decreases as the number of columns and RCBs are raised while also increasing the number of BARs. Moreover, the magnitude of earthquake and BAR have a significant effect on the horizontal displacement behavior of reinforced concrete structures. The strength of the concrete structure varies between close- and far-fault earthquakes, and for close-fault earthquakes, concrete strength is stronger than for far-fault earthquakes. This brings us to the second disadvantage of BAR which is the 75% strain produces a severe displacement of reinforced concrete structures. Besides, it was seen that the simulations and experiments yield tiny cracks with very identical configurations.Öğe Use of waste glass powder toward more sustainable geopolymer concrete(Elsevier, 2023) Celik, Ali Ihsan; Tunc, Ufuk; Bahrami, Alireza; Karalar, Memduh; Mydin, Md Azree Othuman; Alomayri, Thamer; Ozkilic, Yasin OnuralpThe influence of waste glass powder (WGP) with fly ash in certain proportions on geo-polymer concrete (GPC) was investigated by exchanging different proportions of molarity and WGP percentages in GPC. For this objective, fly ash was altered with WGP having percentages of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%, and the effect of molarity of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was examined. The compressive strength tests, splitting tensile tests, and flexural strength tests were conducted. The workability and setting time were also evaluated. With the addition of WGP, the workability for molarities (M) of 11, 13, and 16 NaOH reduced by an average of 17%, 10%, and 67%, respectively. The findings showed that the slump values decreased as the molarity and WGP percentages increased. Molarity significantly affected the setting time, but WGP had no effect on the setting time. Although high molarity increased the capacity, this had a noticeable negative effect on the setting time and workability. This study demonstrated that WGP had a slight negative effect on the capacity and workability. Furthermore, when the combined effects of WGP and NaOH molarity were taken into account, the use of 10% WGP with M13 NaOH was recommended to obtain the optimum sustainable GPC considering both fresh and hardening properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was done on the samples, too.& COPY; 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
