Enhancing wear resistance of aluminum 6061 composites with fly ash: A sustainable approach for industrial applications

This study investigated the benefits of adding fly ash as a reinforcement material. The benefits included cost-effectiveness, improved quality, isotropic behavior, and environmental advantages. To improve self-lubrication and wettability behavior, Al6061 alloy composites were fabricated with different amounts of fly ash (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% by weight), along with a fixed amount of graphite (3wt.%) and magnesium (2wt.%). Wear tests were conducted using Taguchi’s Design of Experiment (DoE) approach on the composites. The optimized composition with 6% fly ash exhibited the least wear rate under the test conditions of load = 10 N, sliding velocity = 3 m/s, and sliding distance = 2 km. SEM images revealed a uniform distribution of fly ash and graphite reinforcement in the matrix, contributing to enhanced wear resistance. The composites exhibited fewer scratches and plastically deformed surfaces, indicating a decrease in wear rate and increased wear resistance with higher fly ash content. ANOVA were used, and four parameters were identified to be critical, Composition at 34%, Sliding Distance at 27%, load at 23%, and Sliding Velocity at 12% contribution with a statistical confidence of 95%. This research contributes to developing cost-effective and environmentally sustainable materials with improved mechanical properties. It makes them suitable for various industrial applications, such as the automotive industry, where wear resistance is essential.

Effects of fly ash and intumescent flame retardant on thermal, burning, and mechanical properties of polyethylene composites

In this study, fly ash (FA) which mainly consists of SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, and CaO, was used as a synergistic additive (1–5 wt %) to improve the effectiveness of an intumescent flame retardant (IFR) system (25 wt %) in high density polyethylene (HDPE). IFR system composed of ammonium polyphosphate and pentaerythritol (3/1 ratio), and different amounts of FA were incorporated homogeneously into HDPE. Thermogravimetric analyses and thermal conductivity measurements were performed to determine the thermal properties. Meanwhile, limiting oxygen index, UL 94 vertical burning, and cone calorimetry tests were performed to investigate the fire resistance. Furthermore, the effects of IFR/FA additions on the mechanical properties were determined. The experimental results showed that IFR and IFR/FA additions resulted in early degradation with lower rates, and the residual mass values increased due to the char layers and the FA content. Also, IFR addition increased the thermal conductivity coefficient from 0.451 W/mK to 0.462 W/mK and IFR/FA additions further increased the coefficient up to 0.506 W/mK. Although the sample included only 25 wt % IFR could meet the requirements of UL 94 V-2 with a LOI value of 25.0%, 2, 3 and 4 wt % FA additions satisfied the criteria of UL 94 V-0 with a LOI value of 26.6%. In addition, the cone calorimeter results revealed that the peak heat release rates and total heat released values decreased with IFR (25 wt %) and FA (2, 3, and 4 wt %) additions. Furthermore, CO, CO2, and soot emissions of the composites significantly reduced with respect to HDPE. The NO increased with IFR additions due to the nitrogen content of APP. 25% IFR addition caused decreases in the tensile strength, tensile modulus, and Izod impact strength. However, FA additions slightly enhanced the mechanical properties of HDPE/IFR composite.

A Locally Available Natural Pozzolan as a Supplementary Cementitious Material in Portland Cement Concrete

For several decades, class F fly ash has been an attractive supplementary cementitious material, at least in part, due to its ability to reduce Portland cement consumption and mitigate alkali-silica reactions in concrete. However, fly ash availability is becoming uncertain as the energy industry decommissions coal burning power plants as it transitions to renewable energy production. This situation creates a need to identify viable and sustainable alternative supplementary cementitious materials. There are several types of supplementary cementitious materials, such as natural pozzolans, metakaolin, or ground granulated blast-furnace slag, which appear to be potential alternatives to fly ash in concrete. In this research, a locally available natural pozzolan (pumicite) was selected to replace fly ash in concrete. After conducting alkali-silica reaction tests on mortar mixtures, rheological and strength properties, shrinkage, resistance to freezing and thawing, and chloride ion permeability of concrete mixtures containing different amounts of fly ash and natural pozzolan were evaluated. The results showed that pumicite was more effective than fly ash at mitigating the alkali-silica reaction, and a pumicite content of 20% was necessary to mitigate the alkali-silica reaction. Ternary mixtures containing both pumicite and fly ash were the most effective cementitious materials combinations for mitigating the alkali-silica reaction expansion. Additionally, pumicite provided acceptable compressive strength and modulus of rupture values (greater than 4.0 MPa) that exceeded the flexural strengths provided by established mixtures containing only fly ash. Shrinkage and durability factor values for all mixtures were less than 710 μstrain and greater than 75, which are generally considered acceptable. Additionally, all mixtures with acceptable alkali-silica reaction expansions had very low chloride permeability. These results indicate that pumicite can be a reliable alternative for fly ash.

Coal Fly Ash Modified Graphite-Polyurethane Composite Electrodes for the Electrochemical Determination of Cadmium(II) in Batteries and Water

Coal fly ash (FA), an aluminum silicate by-product and environmental pollutant which is generated during the combustion of coal in coal-fired power stations, was used as an electrode modifier for the determination of Cd(II) in aqueous solutions. In this work, graphite/polyurethane-based composites containing different amounts of FA were prepared and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) thermogravimetry (TGA), and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG). The graphite/polyurethane composite electrodes (GPUE), with and without FA modifier, were evaluated with regard to their performance as voltammetric electrodes in the determination of metallic cations, using Cd(II) as a probe. After optimizing solution and instrumental parameters affecting the peak current, a differential pulse anode stripping voltammetry (DPASV) procedure was developed for GPUE modified with 5% FA (m/m), resulting in a linear response for Cd(II) from 2.0 x 10−7 to 1.0 x 10−6 mol L−1 with a detection limit (LOD) of 6.6 x 10−8 mol L−1. Cd(II) was added to natural water samples and determined at the 10−7 mol L−1 level with a mean recovery of 99%. It was also extracted from exhausted rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries and diluted to ca. 0.2 µmol L−1 and determined with the same electrode, with recoveries of 98.7% when compared to FAAS. These results serve as a proof of concept that FA is a useful electrode modifier.

Optimization of biochar and fly ash to improve mechanical properties and CO2 sequestration in cement mortar

The novelty of this study is to find out the optimum amount of biochar and high calcium fly ash to improve mechanical performance and promote CO2 uptake in cement mortar. The potential of biochar-fly ash mixes was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) considering the influence of different amounts of fly ash (FA), biochar (B), and their interactions to achieve the optimal mix design with improved performance and carbonate mineralization. Additionally, the effect on the mineralization of different polymorphs of calcium carbonate was also investigated. The experimental results indicate that the accelerated carbonation of high calcium fly ash mortar enriched with biochar enables the effective utilization of biochar up to 5% for enhancing both the mechanical properties and CO2 sequestration. However, under normal curing conditions, it was observed that the optimal amount of biochar that can be used is <1%. This is a promising approach in terms of utilizing waste material and reducing cement content in the mix design together with the additional benefit of storing 50% of ambient CO2 permanently in the cementitious matrix. Carbonation of biochar-fly ash cement composite substantially improves fracture strength, and modulus of elasticity compared to uncarbonated cement mortar at 7 and 28 days. The present study demonstrates the advantages of synergistically combining biochar and fly ash in the development of low-carbon, sustainable cementitious building materials that have the potential to transform building structures into carbon sinks in the future.

Study of the disintegration of loess modified with fly ash and Roadyes

The disintegration property of loess is the wetting and subsequent disintegration of loess in water, which is generally an important index for resistance to erosion and disintegration of wet loess slopes and foundations. In this study, a disintegration instrument is developed in this laboratory and used to study the disintegration properties of fly ash-modified loess in foundations and Roadyes-modified loess in subgrades. Disintegration tests are used to compare samples of loess modified with different amounts of fly ash and Roadyes, different water contents and different dry densities; the influence of fly ash and Roadyes content on the disintegration of modified loess is analyzed. The differences in disintegration properties between the pure loess and modified loess are compared to explore the evolution of disintegration properties of modified loess and the optimal incorporation levels of fly ash and Roadyes. The experimental results show that the incorporation of fly ash reduces the disintegration of loess, while the incorporation of Roadyes likewise decreases the disintegration of loess. The disintegration of the loess modified with the two curing agents is better than that of the pure loess and loess mixed with a single curing agent; the optimal incorporation levels are 15% fly ash and 0.5‰ Roadyes. Comparing the evolution of the disintegration curves of samples of loess with different modifications shows is a linear relationship between time and amount of disintegration for pure loess and Roadyes-modified loess. Thus, a linear disintegration model is established in which the parameter P is the disintegration rate. According to the exponential relationship between time and amount of disintegration of fly ash-modified loess and loess modified with both fly ash and Roadyes, an exponential disintegration model is established in which the water stability parameter Q affects the strong and weak disintegration of the modified loess. The relationship between the water stability of the loess (modified with added fly ash and Roadyes) in water and the initial water content and dry density is analyzed. The water stability of the loess first increases and then decreases with increasing initial water content and gradually increases with increasing dry density. When the sample density is the maximum dry density, the sample has the best water stability. These research results provide a basis for the application of loess modified with added fly ash and Roadyes.

Influence of Fly Ash on the Fluidity of Blast Furnace Slag for the Preparation of Slag Wool

Using fly ash as the modifier, blast furnace slag was modified to prepare slag wool, fulfilling the goal of using one type of waste to make use of another type of waste, and it is of great significance for the comprehensive utilization of industrial bulk solid wastes and resource recycling. In the process of forming fiber from blast furnace slag, fluidity is the key factor affecting the smooth formation of fiber from slag. To explore the changes in the fluidity of modified blast furnace slag, the temperature-dependent viscosity of modified blast furnace slag with different amounts of fly ash added was measured, and the effects of fly ash addition on the viscosity, fluidity, and activation energy of particle migration, and slag structure of modified blast furnace slag were investigated. The results indicated that with the increase in the amount of fly ash added, in the high-temperature region (&gt;1324 °C), the viscosity of modified blast furnace slag increases gradually, the fluidity decreases gradually (i.e., the fluidity becomes worse), and the suitable fiber-forming temperature range gradually widens. When the fly ash addition increases from 5% to 25%, the trend of the activation energy of slag particle migration is as follows: increase, decrease, increase significantly, decrease. When the addition of fly ash is less than 20%, the SiO2 content and slag temperature jointly affect the breakage and reorganization of oxygen bridge bonding in the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron in the slag structure. When the addition of fly ash increases to 25%, the slag temperature dominates the breakage of oxygen bridge bonding in the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron in the slag structure. When using fly ash as the modifier to prepare slag wool, from the perspective of slag fluidity and process operability, the optimum addition amount of fly ash is 15%.

Analysis of microstructural properties and durability characteristics of geopolymer mortar

The microstructural analysis and durability study of geopolymer mortar is presented in this paper. A geopolymer mortar (GPM) was created by combining sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate as activators and curing the mixture at 80 °C in a 12 M sodium hydroxide solution. Compressive strength tests on GPM prepared with different amounts of fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) were conducted, and the optimal mixture was analysed with Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy and a Scanning Electron Microscope. As a means of determining the best mortar mix which can withstand the hostile conditions the durability analysis was conducted. Increased compressive strength can be attributed to the added blast furnace slag percentage. Because blast furnace slag is by-product of steel and iron, it possesses cementitious properties while finely ground. As a result, few characteristics of GGBS improve the compressive strength such as reduced heat of hydration, cementitious properties and pozzolanic activity. This specimen is more resistant to sulphate and acid attacks with the proper concentration of activators and curing conditions. Microstructural analysis was performed on mortar samples possessing highest and lowest compressive strength in order to determine the presence of geopolymer gel formation and the bonding behaviour of the mixture. This study can also help in better understanding of the optimization of the mixture for the desired properties in the future.

Eco-Sustainable Magnesium Oxychloride Cement Pastes Containing Waste Ammonia Soda Residue and Fly Ash

Magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC), a type of special construction material, has drawn much research attention in solid waste utilization and environmental protection due to its eco-friendly production. Ammonia soda residue (ASR), a by-product generated from sodium carbonate manufacturing, is one of the industrial wastes that can be recycled in MOC systems. However, ASR exhibits adverse effects on the fresh performance and volume stability of MOC pastes. This paper aims at improving the properties of ASR-MOC by introducing fly ash (FA), solid waste from the power industry. Firstly, the roles of FA in MOC pastes are evaluated and analyzed. Then, three substitution ratios of FA (33.3%, 50% and 66.7% in weight) for ASR are designed for MOC pastes with 10% to 40% industrial wastes. Flowability, setting, strength and expansion of all mixtures were experimentally studied. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) approaches were adopted to illustrate the microstructure changes. Results show that by adding different amounts of FA, the inferior flowability of MOC caused by ASR can be improved by 6–23%, the setting process can be prolonged by 30–55% and the expansion ratio can be reduced by 14–66%. The intensity of characteristic peaks of 5-phase and Mg(OH)2, together with the degrees of crystallization in XRD curves, well explain the strength variation and volume stability of ASR-MOC pastes. According to the regulation of relative specification, up to 20% of solid wastes in weight (10% FA + 10% ASR) can be consumed, contributing greatly to the greener sustainable development of construction materials.

Investigation of Utilizing Industrial Waste Residue Proportion on Concrete Structure: Computer Finite Element Analysis.

To study the influence of different proportions and amounts of admixtures on the structural performance of concrete, increase the utilization rate of waste material, and finally reduce the cost and environmental pollution, a computer-based finite element analysis method is proposed to investigate the structural performance of concrete composing of waste residue. Firstly, the available types of industrial waste residue and their application in concrete cementitious materials are researched. Secondly, the fly ash in the industrial waste residue is utilized as an example to design an experiment composed of material selection and mixed design set up to determine factors. Finally, the finite element analysis method is proposed and conducted. This model is employed to calculate early shrinkage stress and temperature deformation of concrete with varying contents of fly ash. The results suggest that when the content of fly ash reaches more than 40%, the compressive strength of concrete decreases gradually with the increase of the content, and the decrease is consistent with the increase of the content. Besides, different amounts of fly ash have a certain effect on the hydrated reaction and stress reduction of concrete. The effect becomes more obvious when an increase in dosage is observed.

Comparison of different machine learning methods for estimating compressive strength of mortars

Compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) are two of the most preferred technics for determining both mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of cement-based materials. Since the most important mechanical property of concrete compared to many other properties is its compressive strength, it is of great importance to predict and determine the compressive strength. In the current investigation, the compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocities of twelve (12) different cement mortars containing different amounts of fly ash and nano calcite were experimentally obtained for the curing ages of 1, 3, 7, 28 and 90 days. By using the experimentally obtained data, compressive strength was estimated by the regression methods developed using the extreme learning machine (ELM), support vector machine (SVM) and group method of data handling (GMDH). In order to compare both experimental and predicted results and also to measure their performance, coefficient of determination (R2) and mean squared error (MSE) were utilized. Two different methods were made for each regression method. These were; Method 1: Estimation of compressive strength values without including UPV test results and Method 2: Estimation of compressive strength values including UPV results. Thus, the relationship between (i) the compressive strength and UPV experimental results and (ii) the estimation results of the regression models were determined and then compared. In this study, the best test performances (namely, for R2/MSE) were found as 0.917/20.239 with the ELM model in the Method 1; 0.982/3.882 with the SVM model in the Method 2. According to these results, it was revealed that the selected regression models achieved high success in the estimation of compressive strength.

Experimental analysis of microstructure and mechanical characteristics of LM6 & fly ash composite through stir casting method

Fly ash has received a lot of attention as a possible support for aluminium alloy composites (AMCs) to improve characteristics while lowering production costs. Al alloy MMC was made with different amounts of fly ash (2, 5, and 8%). The semi-solid state mould was gradually filled with reinforced particles. The optical microscope investigation of the microstructure of AMCs reveals homogenous fly ash dispensation. With the increase in fly ash particulate, the microstructure with refined composition displays reducing Si-needle structure and extending space of eutectic-Al grid space. While hardness increases by 88 percent, tensile strength increases by 57 percent and yield strength by 17 % of the AMCs with the increment of fly ash. The addition of fly ash particles improved the AMCs’ physical and mechanical qualities. As a result, it leads to upgrade the energy utilisation.

Effect of high temperature on SCC containing fly ash

The effect of high temperature on self-compacting concrete, which contains different amounts of fly ash, has been investigated. By considering the effect of concrete age and increased temperatures, the optimum fly ash-cement ratio for the optimum concrete strength is determined using experimental studies. Self-compacting concrete specimens are produced, with fly ash/cement ratios of 0%, 20% and 40%. Specimens were cured for 28, 56 and 90 days. After curing was completed, the specimens were subjected to temperatures of 20°C, 100°C, 400°C, 700°C and 900°C for three hours. After the cooling process, tests were performed to determine the unit weight, ultrasonic pulse velocity and compressive strength of the specimens. According to the experiment results, an increase in fly ash ratio causes a decrease in the compressive strength of self-compacting concrete. However, it positively contributes to self-compaction and strength loss at high temperatures. The utilization of fly ash in concrete significantly contributes to the environment and the economy. For this reason, the addition of 20% fly ash to concrete is considered to be effective.

Study on the influence of fly ash and silica fume with different dosage on concrete strength

In order to improve the compressive strength of concrete, mineral admixtures can be added to concrete to replace part of the cement(C). Commonly used mineral admixtures include fly ash(FA) and silica fume(SF). Through a series of experiments, the effect of adding different amounts of fly ash and silica fume and double mixing on the strength of concrete was studied by using the same amount of substitute for cement under the same water-binder ratio. The results show that fly ash has a certain influence on improving the fluidity of concrete, and the influence on the strength of concrete is mainly in the later period; the influence of silica fume on the fluidity and strength of concrete is better than that of fly ash, and the main influence of silica fume is on the increase in strength. The early stage and the later stage are slower; the strength of concrete mixed with fly ash and silica fume at the same time increases first and then decreases with the increase of mineral admixtures.

Texture, morphology and strength performance of self-compacting alkali-activated concrete: Role of fly ash as GBFS replacement

The improvement of the rheology, morphology and strength performance of the self-compacting alkali-activated concretes (SCAACs) incorporated with fly ash (FA) as ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) replacement remains challenging. To meet this need, five mixtures were prepared with different amounts of FA (30, 40, 50, 60 and 70, weight %) as the GBFS substitute. The prepared specimens were thoroughly characterized to examine their textures, microstructures and strength properties. Various characteristics of the obtained SCAACs were compared with the control mixture containing 100% of GBFS. The achieved SCAACs prepared with 40, 50 and 60% of FA displayed enhanced workability performance (plastic viscosity, passing ability and filling, segregation resistance). In addition, the compressive strength, splitting tensile and flexural strengths of the SCAACs were dropped with the increase in FA contents. The concrete prepared with 70% of FA content showed poor structure due to the formation of less hydration products. The observed reduction in the drying shrinkage of the proposed SCAACs was mainly attributed to the addition of the higher amount of FA in the mixture. It is established that the substitution of GBFS by FA may be prospective for the production of the cement-free self-compaction sustainable concretes beneficial towards the building sectors.

Growth with Some Biochemical Responses in Two Cultivars of Cicer arietinum L. to Fly Ash Amended Soil

Background: According to the United Nations “the world population prospects 2019” report, the population of the world is expected to increase currently from 7.7 billion to 9.7 billion in 2050. This rapid growth in the population will adversely put incredible stress on our climate, food and health. As we are already running out of natural resources, it is high time to rethink our policies. Sustainable development is the need of an hour. Some policy decisions are required to overcome such expected challenges. To maintain the balance between the demand and supply there should be a prearranged, preplanned mechanism to be adopted for the sustainable growth and development of the production-cum-consumption system at a global level. In this paper, we will try to experimentally demonstrate how the growth of some legume crops is helpful to us we will also scientifically prove the utility of environmental pollutant fly-ash as an alternative fertilizer. Methods: An experiment was conducted during the month of October to February (2018-2019) at the C.C.S. University Campus, Meerut. Different amounts of fly ash of 20, 40, 60 gm/m2 and two diverse chickpea genotype JG-11 and JG-14 were taken as experimental material. Result: Fly ash in a sufficient amount increases the availability of macro- and micro-nutrient of the soil which is beneficial to plant growth and development. Fly ash significantly improved the physio-chemical properties of soil such as pH, CEC, BD, PD and also improves chickpea growth and yield. Fly ash found safe for agriculture applications in 20-40 gm/m2 range in the context of fertilizer.

Study on Partial Replacement of Sand with Fly Ash in Concrete Mixes Based on Pozzolanic Cementing Efficiency to the Strength-Weight and Cost-Strength Ratio

The utilization of fly ash as sand partial replacement in concrete mix is an alternative solution for the depletion of sand resources in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This research evaluates the effect of sand partial replacement with fly ash to the strength-weight and cost-strength ratio of concrete mixes. The strength-weight ratio was used for mechanical evaluation with higher value considered as better, while cost-strength ratio indicates its economic efficiency with lower value means more efficient. Four groups of test specimens with different amounts of fly ash were evaluated for its mechanical performance and economic efficiency. Various percentages of fly ash, sequentially 0%, 20%, 35%, and 50% were implemented in the mixes based on partial weight replacement of its components and the water-binder ratios were calculated based pozzolanic cementing efficiency method. The compressive strength was evaluated on 14 concrete cylinders with 150mm diameter and 300mm length for each variant that cured in 28 days water immersion. Test results shows that fly ash addition tend to reduce material cost and density of concretes, yet the compressive strength was not lower compared to normal concrete. Therefore, fly ash added concrete can be justified as better in mechanical performance and economically more efficiency.

Mechanical properties and durability performance of fly ash based mortar containing nano- and micro-silica additives

The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of nano-silica (NS) and micro-silica (MS) on the properties of fly ash based geopolymer mortar. The use of such additives has the potential to provide greener and cheaper concrete with enhanced properties. A screening study was conducted to compare the performance of mortar containing varying percentages of NS and MS (up to 15%). The performance of each specimen was determined through tests on compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, workability, and water absorption. Results indicated that mortar with a dosage of 5% NS shows optimum results in workability and mechanical properties. This is mainly due to the pozzolanic and filling effects of large surface area nanosized particles on the cementitious matrix. Moreover, the effect of 5% NS was investigated for mortars containing different amounts of fly ash (up to 30%) which replaced cement by weight. With the presence of 5% NS, variation in fly ash content has no significant influence on the flowability. Although replacement of cement with fly ash at 10% in the presence of 5% NS decreased the splitting tensile strength, no significant reduction was noticed when compared with control samples (without nanoparticle). Compressive strengths also show significant reduction as the percentage of fly ash increases, however the presence of 5% NS aids in the strength development over 28 days. Observations from this study show the effects of nano-silica and fly ash dosage in the performance of cementitious composites. Thus, the results of this study is beneficial for future applications of nanomaterials in cement-based composites for generation of multifunctional construction materials.

Fly Ash Filled Geopolymers: Preparation and Thermal Study

AbstractMetakaolin‐based geopolymers are prepared using recycled fly ash, aiming to reduce this waste otherwise disposed in landfills. Geopolymers with different amounts of fly ash (20, 50, and 70 wt%) are obtained and the occurring bond formation between the matrix and the filler is investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The consolidation of the materials has been confirmed by pH and conductivity at 28 days of hardening. The thermal behavior of the prepared geopolymers is studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis.

Evaluation on feasibility of fly ash cement mortar as adhesive of post-installed rebar

This study evaluates the feasibility of using fly ash cement mortar as the substitute of commercial anchorage adhesives by means of experimental tests. Temperature effect is also investigated. Different amounts of fly ash are added in the cement mortar and the mortars are mixed according to the proportion design methods illustrated in the literature. In addition, silica sand is used instead of river sand in some mortar. By summarizing the results of flow test, compression test, and fire resistance test of the mortar specimens, three better mixture proportions are determined. The pull-out specimens were prepared by implanting #3 (D10) steel bars into concrete cylinders to a depth of 9 cm. The specimens for temperature effect tests are heated and kept in furnace under 400°C or 600°C for 60 minutes and cooled naturally before conducting experimental tests. The feasibility assessment is carried out by comparing the pull-out test results of this study with those of rebars installed with commercial adhesives from earlier study. The results have shown that rebars installed with the proposed cement mortar may achieve acceptable bonding effect, although the bonding strength at room temperature is lower than those of commercial adhesives-installed rebars.
