3.3. Strength and Fracture Results of Iron-Sulfur-Containing Arbolite Concrete Composites
- Strain gauges located in the mortar component of the material record the moment of its destruction and the achievement of the ultimate tensile strength of iron-sulfur arbolite in the prisms perpendicular to the acting load of the press. In this case, the arrow of the press pressure gauge falls; that is, the initial destruction of the material can always be observed.
- Strain gauges fixed on 4–5 mm shredded reed fibers oriented along and across the acting load continue to show strain growth, and the press pressure gauge arrow continues to show stress growth.
- The described effect is not observed in iron-sulfur arbolite of porous (500 kg/m3) or coarse-porous structure (450 kg/m3) of low volumetric mass.
- In the tests of iron-sulfur-containing arbolite of dense structure (650 kg/m3), the simultaneous destruction of the iron-sulfur-containing mortar component and organic aggregate did not occur. Usually, there was sequential destruction associated with organic filler based on shredded reed fibers, then with the iron-sulfur-containing mortar component, but only in the second phase of curing. The failure of the material by the iron-sulfur-containing mortar component occurred only in the first curing phase.
- -
- When Rmortar < Raggregate, one-phase solidification and one-stage fracture occurs due to the mortar;
- -
- When Rsolution > Raggregate, two-phase solidification and two-stage failure occur.
- Adopted methods of mutual neutralization and detoxification by their mechanochemical treatment allowed us to reduce the consumption of expensive cement by replacing it partly with cheap industrial waste.
- The growth of the strength of iron-sulfur-containing material depending on the curing period and changes in the modulus of deformation, and especially the great extensibility of organic aggregate based on shredded cane in the composition of iron-sulfur-containing arbolite under loading with different stress levels.
- The nature of fracture and strength formation of iron-sulfur arbolite samples at different ages depend on the fraction and size of the crushed reed fiber.
4. Conclusions According to the Results of the Study
- Mutual neutralization of toxic iron-sulfur-containing waste and using the method of mechanochemical processing developed compositions of iron-sulfur-containing binders with compressive strength up to 73.5 MPa for their further use in the composition of arbolite-concrete composites. Moreover, the adopted methods reduce the consumption of expensive cement by replacing part of it with cheap industrial waste.
- The growth of the strength of iron-sulfur-containing material in the second phase of curing is explained by the change in the deformation modulus of the constituent components of sulfur-containing arbolite under loading with different stress levels. It was found that the deformation modulus of the iron-sulfur-containing mortar component and the material decreases with increasing stress from σ = 0.15 Rbn to σ = 0.74 Rbn, while it increases for the organic aggregate in a certain range of relative stress. In the stressed state, the organic aggregate based on shredded reed with 4–5 mm size is strengthened and can be more loaded than in the unstressed state.
- The nature of fracture and strength formation of samples from iron-sulfur-containing arbolite at different ages depends on the fraction and size of crushed reed fiber and the average density of lightweight concrete. The strength of iron-sulfur-containing arbolite of porous structure (400–500 kg/m3) is formed in one phase, with the one-stage destruction due to clogging by organic aggregate. For the material of dense structure (650–700 kg/m3), there is sequential destruction associated with the organic aggregate based on shredded reed fibers and then with iron-sulfur-containing mortar component, but only in the second phase of hardening.
