May 2019, Volume 6, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) JETIR1905800 Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research (JETIR) www.jetir.org 546 EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON FLOATING CONCRETE WITH THERMOCOL 1 Sagar R. Kaptan, 2 Dr. Jayeshkumar Pitroda, 3 Dr. Vihangraj Kulkarni 1 Final Year M. Tech Student, 2 Associate Professor, 3 Associate Professor 1 Construction Engineering and Management, Civil Engineering Department 1 BVM Engineering College, Vallabh Vidyanagar, Gujarat, India Abstract: Unlike the conventional concrete of Portland cement (with a density of around 2400 kg / m3 ); Floating concrete contains lightweight aggregates and some admixtures that lighten the composite. Floating concrete is useful to minimize the structure's dead load and thus reduce the project's overall cost. With conventional concrete making materials, expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads (Thermocol beads) can be used to produce floating concrete with a wide range of performance characteristics. EPS is used since at least the 1950s in engineering applications. It's as light as about one hundredth of that soil's density. Use thermocol beads to produce lightweight concrete with unit weight ranging from 600 to 1000 kg / m3 . As its density is lower than that of water (1000 kg / m3 ), the concrete can float in water in its hardened state. The heat-insulating properties are good because the lightweight the concrete, the lower the thermal conductivity. This research contains an alternative compound including thermocol as binding material in place of the fine aggregates of floating concrete, pumice stones and aluminum powder used to make floating concrete, assess the mechanical features of fresh concrete and hardened floating concrete through tests like slum tests (for workability), density tests, compressive strength test and water absorption test. In this study the floating concrete is made of pumice stone and thermocol. Fine powder of aluminum is used as a admixture for the formation of gas. A grade chosen for the investigation was M20 for conventional concrete and floating concrete. The study includes casting and testing the compressive strength, density tests, and water absorption tests for floating concrete and traditional concrete specimens at 7 and 28 days of age respectively. In this study, therefore, fine aggregate is replaced in different proportions by thermocol which is 0% EPS, 5% EPS, 10% EPS, 15% EPS and 20% EPS in floating concrete, and its feasibility study is to be conducted. Keywords - Expended Polystyrene Beads, Floating concrete, Light weight concrete, Thermocol, Thermal Insulation Property. I.INTRODUCTION A floating concrete structure is a solid body made of reinforced concrete and an inner chamber chain filled with impermeable material that is lightweight. Thermocol and pumice stone are used in this technique to prepare the light weight concrete and density is reduced to achieve maximum efficiency, while the structure's self-weight is minimized thereby reducing the dead structure load. The construction industry faces the challenges and problems everywhere. Water covers two-thirds of the world's surface. Therefore, it is not surprising that in recent decades there has been a lot of activity with concrete in the sea. The conventional concrete's disadvantage is the high self-weight concrete, where the density ranges from 2200 to 2600 kg / m3 . In this technique, the concrete's self-weight is reduced to achieve the concrete's efficiency as a structural material. The light weight concrete has a density of between 300 and 1850 kg / m3 , which helps reduce the structure's dead weight. The world of today is witnessing the construction of very challenging and difficult structures of civil engineering. Researchers around the world are trying to develop low density or lightweight concrete by using up to certain proportions of different concrete admixtures. Using foaming chemicals (Thermocol) and Pumice stone separately to develop floating concrete. In the former, the cement slurry is made of cement and water and this slurry is then introduced into the air to form a uniform cellular structure when the mixture sets and hardens. This is the mixture of cement-water and sand, then thermocol is added to this slurry, which gives the cellular structure, making the concrete lighter than the conventional cement. Mixed with water and air from a generator, the foam is created using a foaming chemical. The foaming chemicals used must be capable of producing air bubbles with high stability, resistant to mixing, placing and hardening physical and chemical processes. Poly Carboxylate Ether is the chemical we used to generate foam. A lightweight aggregate of low specific gravity is present in the later Pumice. It is a very porous material with a high percentage of water absorption. We are not using the conventional aggregate in this and are replacing it with the pumice stone. Pumice is a highly porous rock specimen with a density of about 500-600 kg / m3 . Pumice is produced when it is violently ejected from the volcano by superheated, highly pressurized rock. Pumice is available in different sizes. Due to simultaneous rapid cooling & rapid depressurization, the unusual foamy pumice configuration occurs. Pumice has an average 60-80 percent porosity and floats on water in the beginning. II. EXPERIMENTAL MATERIALS The materials used during the present research are Cement, Fine aggregate, Pumice stone, Thermocol beads, Aluminium powder and Water.

Lime, silica, alumina and iron oxide are the raw materials used for the manufacture of cement. Cement is available in the types and grade variety. In the construction industry, Portland cement is the most widely used type of cement. Cements are usually used to fill the gaps between the aggregate of fine and course. The cement is generally both adhesive and cohesive. Figure 1 shows the ordinary Portland cement. The investigation used an ordinary 53 grade Portland cement confirming IS-12269:2013, available locally in a market. Portland cement's physical properties and chemical composition are given respectively in Table 1 and Table 2 Fig. 1 Ordinary Portland Cement Table 1: Physical properties of 53 grade Ordinary Portland Cement Physical properties IS-12269:2013 Specifications Normal Consistency - Initial setting time (minutes) 30 (min) Final setting time (minutes) 600 (max) Fineness, m2 /kg 225 (min) Specific Gravity 3.15 Soundness (mm) 10 Minimum Compressive strength, N/mm2 3 days 27 7 days 37 28 days 53 Table 2: Chemical Properties of 53 grade Ordinary Portland Cement Chemical properties IS-12269:2013 Specifications Loss on ignition, percent by mass, Max 4.0 Insoluble residue, percent by mass, Max 4.0 Magnesia, percent by mass, Max 6.0 Total sulphur content, Percent by mass, Max 3.5 Chloride content, Percent by mass, Max 0.1 Alkali content 0.05 2.2 Fine Aggregate The sand is usually used in concrete as a fine aggregate. Sand is the natural materials that are made up of finely divided rocks and particles of minerals. The aggregate passing through the IS sieve of 4.75 mm is known as fine aggregates. It helps to lower the shrinkage. The sand was obtained locally and met the IS: 383-1970 Indian standard specifications in the experimental program. The sand was first sieved through a sieve of 4.75 mm to remove any particles larger than 4.75 mm and then washed to remove the dust. Table 3 shows Physical properties of Fine aggregate. The Fine aggregate is shown in Figure 2. Table 3 Physical properties of Fine aggregate Sr. No. Property Values 1 Source Bodeli, Gujarat 2 Specific Gravity 2.66 3 Fineness modulus 3.16

As explained by the Mineral Information Institute, when the gases escape the rock gets frothy. The result is a very light, flourishing material as the rock gets hardened. Pumice is used primarily for the production of lightweight construction materials such as concrete. The chemical composition of Pumice is obsidian or volcanic like glass. The walls of this rock are very thin, translucent, extrusive and igneous. Table 4 shows the properties of Pumice stone. The pumice stone is shown in figure 3. Fig. 3 Pumice Stone Table 4 Properties of Pumice Stone Sr. No. Properties Value 1 Specific gravity 0.95 2 Unit weight 950 kg/m3 3 Acoustic Performance It can be used for acoustic solutions, as an effective sound barrier 4 Earthquake Resistant Improves earthquake resistance 5 Insulation Higher thermal insulation 2.4 Thermocol beads Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a lightweight cellular plastic material that contains about 98 percent air and 2 percent polystyrene of fine spherical particles. It has a closed cell structure that is unable to absorb water. It therefore has good sound, thermal and impact resistance characteristics. EPS is a highly resistant inertial material for alkalis, methanol, ethanol silicone oils, halide, oxidative and reduction agents. However, it has limited resistance to paraffin oil, vegetable oils, diesel foel and Vaseline that may attack polystyrene foam after long-lasting contact. Polystyrene material is subjected to a slight deterioration of its mechanical properties as the temperature increases to its' glass transition temperature' (Tg) ranging from 71 ° C to 77 ° C. But when burned, the toxicity level of EPS is no higher than that of wood; similar toxic gas, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide are produced. Table 5 shows the properties of thermocol beads. The thermocol beads are shown in figure 4.

In the concrete, it generates fluffiness just like baking soda in a cake. This admixture reacts chemically when added to the mortar or concrete mixture with hydroxides present in the cement & form minute hydrogen gas bubbles of the size ranging from 0.1 to 1 mm across the cement water. The accelerating admixture used to shorten the mix setting time is Calcium Chloride (CaCl). Table 6 shows the properties of Aluminum powder.

EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGY In this study the floating concrete is made of pumice stone and thermocol. Fine powder of aluminum is used as a admixture for the formation of gas. A grade chosen for the investigation was M20 for conventional concrete and floating concrete. The study includes casting and testing the compressive strength, density tests, and water absorption tests for floating concrete and traditional concrete specimens at 7 and 28 days of age respectively. In this study, therefore, fine aggregate is replaced in different proportions by thermocol which is 0% EPS, 5% EPS, 10% EPS, 15% EPS and 20% EPS in floating concrete, and its feasibility study is to be conducted. 4.1Compressive Strength Test (IS: 516-1959) For compression test, specimen of size 150mm*150mm*150mm were casted and tested in compression testing machine with reference of the test procedure given in IS: 516-1959. Equation for finding out compression test is given below, Compressive strength (N/mm2) = P⁄∆ Where, P= Failure load of specimen Δ= Area of specimen (mm2) Fig. 5 Compressive strength test Proportion Water Cement Sand Pumice stone (20mm) Aluminium Powder By Weight (kg/m3 ) 136.53 278.84 834.81 158.6 9.6 Volume 0.50 1 2.86 1.27

All concrete blocks shall be dried in a ventilated oven at 100 to 150 0 C for not less than 24 hours. Absorption, percent = (W1-W2)/W2 * 100 Where, W1 = wet mass of unit (kg) W2 = dry mass of unit (kg) 4.3 Density Concrete density is one of the major structural behaviour parameters. The concrete density is a unit weight measurement. As the concrete density increases, the dead load on the structure. A normal weight weighs 2400 kg of concrete per cubic meter. Concrete’s density depending on the type of aggregate quantity and density, the amount of trapped air (and trapped air), and the content of water and cement. Density is just a ratio of mass to volume. Perhaps the easiest and most accurate way of calculating the density of concrete is to measure and weigh some in a container of known volume. These strength tests can be performed in a laboratory at 24 hours, 7 days, and 28 days to predict potential downturns in strength (or lower density). This is very important given all the concrete projects of high strength (bridges, high rises, dams). V.

Floating concrete rates decrease with an increase in Fine aggregate replacement by EPS in different proportions compared to conventional concrete. VII. CONCLUSION Based on experimental investigations concerning Slump Test, Compressive Strength, Density test and Water Absorption test for Floating Concrete with different proportions mixes made by Replacement of fine aggregate in different proportions, the following conclusions are drawn out for different parameters: 1. Compressive strength of Floating Concrete was decreasing by replacement of Fine aggregate in different proportion for Floating Concrete mixes as compared to Conventional Concrete. 2. In B batch of Floating Concrete mix B1 with w/c ratio 0.5 shows 12.19 N/mm2 compressive strength and Conventional Concrete A mix shows 19.77 N/mm2 both after 28 days. In C Batch of Floating Concrete mixes with replacement of Fine aggregate by EPS, C1 mix shows 12.21 N/mm2 compressive strength and Conventional Concrete A mix shows 19.77 N/mm2 both after 28 days. 3. It was seen that the use of lightweight aggregate in the concrete mixture can reduce the dead load but decreases the concrete strength. 4. All Floating Concrete mixes which are made with replacement of Fine aggregate by EPS in different proportion gives lower compressive strength as compared to conventional concrete. It can be used in load-bearing concrete blocks, subfloor systems and floating marine structures due to its lightweight property. 5. Percentage Water Absorption of Floating Concrete was increasing by increase in replacement of Fine aggregate by EPS beads in different proportion for Floating Concrete mixes as compared to Conventional Concrete Mix. The Higher Water Absorption was observed in Floating Concrete compared to Ordinary Portland Cement Concrete. 6. In B batch of Floating Concrete mixes with w/c ratio 0.5 shows 2.85% water absorption and Conventional Concrete A mix shows 2.49 % water absorption both after 28 days. In C Batch of Floating Concrete mixes with 5% replacement of Fine aggregate by EPS beads shows 2.7% water absorption and Conventional Concrete A mix shows 2.49% water absorption both after 28 days. 7. The Water Absorption of Floating Concrete showed higher water absorption when compared to Ordinary Portland Cement Concrete for M20 grade concrete. All Floating Concrete mixes which are made with different proportion gives desirable percentage of Water Absorption Test results. 8. Floating Concrete mixes with different proportion have higher rates for 1 m3 concrete with compared to conventional A (M20) concrete mix. 9. Rates of Floating Concrete decreases with increase in replacement of Fine aggregate by EPS in different proportions in compared to Conventional Concrete. 10. Based on the cost calculations, it can be concluded that Floating concrete is Costlier than a conventional concrete.
