Marshall Stability of Combination of Perlis Limestone and Granite in Hot Mix Asphalt

Limestone is used in many countries for road pavement, such as Poland, USA and France. However, there are limitations in terms of mechanical and surface properties, but it has been used in some regions for years, particularly in Perlis, Malaysia, due to the need for a local source. The reason is that of caution of fear, in spite of wanting to explore the opportunities of Perlis limestone being used and understand the advantages and disadvantages of that aggregate. This study focused on the stability, flow, and volumetric by using a combination of Perlis limestone and granite in hot mixed asphalt (HMA) mixtures. The combination of Perlis Limestone and granite was analysed and tested to specification for roadworks by PWD, Malaysia. Furthermore, there will be a cost increment in road construction due to logistic and transportation problems in delivering imported granite aggregate from Kedah state. The result showed that HMA with less Perlis limestone aggregate showed a higher value of stability, flow and stiffness. As for the conclusion, HMA with more granite aggregate has better strength with less deformation compared with HMA with more Perlis limestone aggregate. HMA with more granite aggregate was also was stiffer, mainly due to the interlocking and frictional resistance of the aggregate due to the angularity and rougher surface of granite. However, since all the samples complied with the PWD specification, Perlis limestone proved it can be an alternative aggregate to be used in HMA.

The concrete structures that are built along the seaside often suffer from reduced service life due to inadequate durability against deterioration. This research reports the findings of concrete resistivity and quality using two Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) measures applied to Reinforced Geopolymer and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete in the marine environment. In addition, the relationship between Reinforced Geopolymer and Reinforced OPC concrete was statistically discussed in-terms of strength and direction. The testing was carried out using a Proceeq Resipod Wenner 4-probe to measure Surface Resistivity (SR) and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV), respectively. The testings were carried out on beam shaped samples of OPC and Geopolymer concrete that were immersed in seawater over a period of 90 days with similar curing condition. It was found from the present investigation that the maximum SR and maximum UPV values acquired for both the Reinforced OPC and Reinforced Geopolymer concrete are 2.73 kΩcm and 2.07 kΩcm, as well as 4.18 km/s and 4.05 km/s, respectively. It is apparent from the study that both concrete is comparable in terms of quality and surface resistivity.

APPLICATION OF NATURAL FIBER FOR SHORT TERM STABILIZATION OF MARINE CLAY SLOPE

2020-01-01 , Ahmad M.M. , Zainol N.Z. , Mohd Badrul Hisyam Ab Manaf , Faisal A. , Mohd Zulham Affandi Mohd Zahid

Existence of marine clay in civil engineering field leading to further investigation on the properties as well as the method of stabilization. The aim of this study is to investigate the shear strength parameter of marine clay slope stabilized with kenaf fiber. Laboratory testing has been conducted to determine the marine clay and stabilized marine clay properties and its characteristic by using soil classification of particle size distribution, specific gravity, Atterberg limit and unconfined compression test. The result shows that the shear strength of marine clay reinforced with kenaf fiber is improved by increasing the percentage of kenaf fiber mixed into marine clay soil. The safety factor obtained from slope stability analysis shows that addition of kenaf fiber to the marine clay soil improves the marine clay slope stability. By adding 5% and 10% of kenaf fiber improves safety factor to more than 1.2 as required for most of temporary slope construction.

A study on the potential of geopolymer artificial aggregate as substitute for granite and limestone aggregate

The aim of this research is to determine the potential of geopolymer artificial aggregate as substitute for granite and limestone aggregates. Several aggregate property test such as aggregate impact test, aggregate crushing test, specific gravity test, water absorption test and the Los Angeles Abrasion test are done on the aggregates. The fly ash-based geopolymer artificial aggregate is produced through geopolymerisation by mixing fly ash with alkaline solution. The results show that the fly ash-based geopolymer artificial aggregate is lighter than natural aggregate in term of its specific gravity. The impact value and crushing value for fly ash-based geopolymer artificial aggregate are slightly higher compared to natural aggregate while the water absorption value is much higher compared to natural aggregate. Furthermore, the fly ash-based geopolymer artificial aggregate has higher value in the Los Angeles Abrasion. Overall, the fly ash-based geopolymer artificial aggregate can be considered as one of the construction materials in the roadwork pavement and in concrete as an alternative for coarse aggregate besides natural aggregate with more lightweight properties.
