FRC with plastic waste fibre is introduced in construction to resolve the corrosion problem of the reinforced steel bar in the concrete, resolve the cracking on the concrete and minimise the environmental problem which occurred due to plastic bottle waste disposal and non-biodegradable material. The main objective of this study is to determine the compression strength behaviour of waste Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) fibre with hoop-shaped in FRC in percentages of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7% and 0.8% weight to weight of cement. For that reason, the waste mineral bottle water is collected, cleaned and cut into 100 mm of length and 5 mm of width to propose hoop-shaped waste PET fibre. FRC with waste PET fibre is tested for its workability in fresh conditions and its water absorption and compression strength in hardened conditions. Furthermore, the tensile test is conducted for determining the stress and strain behaviour of waste PET fibre in two conditions; in single and hoop-shaped. From the experimental activity, the waste PET fibre of 0.5% produced the appropriate compression strength value and recorded a percentage difference approximately of 6.33% for 28 days duration as compared with a control mix. In addition, the percentage difference of the water absorption of all mixes is reported to have in the range of 0.25% to 25.96% when compared with the control mix which is tremendously affected the compressive strength.

Its easy production and assembly give engineer an option to speed the construction process. However, thinness relates to the major issue of buckling, especially when dealing with high temperature. The unprotected cold-formed steel behaviour under fire is expected to have a little strength as compared to hot-rolled steel. Information on such behaviour is still limited. Fire resistance testing on built-up box CFS column was presented in this paper. Two fire resistance tests were carried out under compression load. The Standard ISO 834 Fire Resistance Test under 50% and 70% degree of utilisation measured the temperatures at several points of the steel column surface by using a surface thermocouple and axial column deformation. For reference purpose, one same static test at ambient temperature was carried out to assess the load bearing capacity. Results found that the failure temperature of built-up CFS could reach up to 515 ºC and 443 ºC within 8 minutes and 7 minutes resistant time for 50 % and 70% degree of utilisation, respectively. Based on deformation analysis, buckling temperature of the column was 448 ºC and 394 ºC with a critical time of 7 minutes for 50 % and 70% degree of utilisation, respectively. This concluded that the higher degree of utilisation results in lower critical temperatures of the columns.

In Malaysia, CFS is broadly utilised in roof truss systems to replace timber and hot-rolled steel in residential houses and small industrial buildings. Some of the advantages of CFS include being lightweight, recyclable, and durable and having highest strength-to-weight ratio. It is also becoming excessively popular as a building material. However, CFS with its thin surface tends to fail in buckling on short and slender sections either at the compression or flexural members especially for the web element. In this study, the CFS channel section with 100 mm of the web, 50 mm of flange, 12 mm of lip, 1.55 mm of thickness and without any web stiffener has been selected. With the intention of solving the buckling failure, CFS has been formed as a symmetrical and closed section and filled with oriented strand board (OSB) at the gap of each section. The main objective of this study was to review the previous study of CFS with other materials to produce the composite material and introduce the development and preliminary study of the new section. The CFS with OSB was proposed as a solid symmetrical section to solve the local, distortional, and global buckling, as well as establish a stable and stiffened section under compressed conditions. Therefore, the local and distortional buckling of the compressed member was completely solved by the built-up and box-up of CFS with the OSB section however the CFS channel section with OSB managed to minimise the effect of local and distortional buckling. There was a 9.20%, 5.16% and 5.84% percentage difference of the ultimate load between the CFS without and with OSB sections. The new section reduced the production cost, while also reducing the material usage. It also has the potential to be an innovative section by supporting the Malaysian sustainable development programme.

CFSC with a variety of sizes, shapes, thicknesses and grades is becoming admired because it offers several advantages such as lightweight, easy fabrication, fast installation, no formwork, termite resistance and corrosion resistance. The main objective of the study is to investigate the CFSC material properties with a variety of thicknesses. When the CFSC is utilised as in construction structural material, the CFSC material properties must be evaluated for further work, especially in design, failure capacity information and modelling intention. The thickness of the CFSC is important in study to check the failure mode and mechanical properties of the material. The material properties of CFSC are examined by using tensile coupon test specimens and universal tensile testing machine. The CFSC that be used in the study is CFSC 1.0 and CFSC 1.2 with the thickness of 1.0 and 1.2 mm respectively for grade G450. The CFSC is selected by having intermediate end stiffener and lipped. The specimen of tensile coupon test is located on flange, web, upper corner and bottom corner of overall section. From the results, the yield stress, elastic modulus and ultimate stress of the CFSC 1.2 is found higher than of CFSC 1.0.

CFS with the shape of the channel is selected and formed to be a stub or short column with a height of 240 mm. The main objective of the study is to determine the mechanical behaviour of the CFS channel stub column at post elevated temperature from normal to 1000 0 C. The CFS stub columns are exposed to fire at the furnace and let it cool at room temperature. After 24 hours, the CFS is tested by using Universal Testing Machine (UTM) for ultimate load. When this material is exposed to fire the steel material properties are degraded. The strength of the CFS stub column is recovered to its original normal strength when heated below 600 ºC; beyond this temperature the strength has reduced with recovery of strength less than 65 %. It was observed the column would fail by a combination of local and some distortional buckling. The predictions using Direct Strength Method (DSM) are conservative for all post elevated temperature of the CFS stub column and the column were predicted to fail by distortional buckling. The CFS channels are able to remain the strength after exposing to temperature up to 400 ºC. Beyond that, the capacity was reduced more than 40 % of the normal strength. The prediction with the EC3 yield for temperature up to 400 ºC the prediction is overdesigned and considerably unsafe. But beyond temperature of 400 ºC, it was conservative similar to the Direct Strength Method. The columns are predicted to fail in compression failure.

The BAA is a waste material that is taken from electric coal power plant and the basic source material of WBAA is a treated bottom ash. The BAA is fully submerged in clean and clear water for 3 days to produce a WBAA with low amount of carbon. This WBAA with low carbon composition is utilised to produce concrete with less percentage of carbon usage. Low amount of carbon can reduce energy in building, reduce environmental impact and can be supported to green material in concrete. So that, this two types of bottom ash were studied their physical properties and then compared. The aim of the study is to investigate the physical comparison of BAA and WBAA in producing concrete or concrete applications. The results of the sieve analysis and fineness modulus of BAA and WBAA were discussed. The calculated of fineness modulus of BAA and WBAA are 4.93 and 3.65 respectively, which are more than 3.5 and it is considered very coarse. Finally, it is concluded that this both aggregate is potential for utilise in concrete and mortar or concrete/mortar application.

Special concrete made with waste material is becoming popular in a construction site. This is because the special concrete is selected due to quality, integrity, economic factor and environmental factor. The waste glass is selected as an additional material to provide a good in compressive strength value. The compressive strength is the importance of mechanical properties of concrete and typically the concrete is sustained and stiffed in compression load. The significant issue to utilize the waste glass from the automotive windscreen is to improve the strength of concrete. The waste glass is crushed to become 5 mm size and recognised as crushed waste glass that be used in concrete as additional material. The main objective of the study is to determine the appropriate percentage of crushed waste glass in concrete grade, 30 in order to enhance the compressive strength. There are four mixes of concrete that contained of crushed waste glass with percentage of 2 %, 4 %, 6 % and 8 % and one control mix with 0 % of crushed waste glass. As the result, crushed waste glass with an additional 4 % in concrete is reported having a higher value of compressive strength in early and mature stage. In addition, if the percentage of crushed glass wastes in concrete increases and it leads to a reduction in the workability of concrete. 2 Material and method This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

CFS with the shape of the channel is selected and formed to be a stub or short column with a height of 240 mm. The main objective of the study is to determine the mechanical behaviour of the CFS channel stub column at post elevated temperature from normal to 1000 0 C. The CFS stub columns are exposed to fire at the furnace and let it cool at room temperature. After 24 hours, the CFS is tested by using Universal Testing Machine (UTM) for ultimate load. When this material is exposed to fire the steel material properties are degraded. The strength of the CFS stub column is recovered to its original normal strength when heated below 600 ºC; beyond this temperature the strength has reduced with recovery of strength less than 65 %. It was observed the column would fail by a combination of local and some distortional buckling. The predictions using Direct Strength Method (DSM) are conservative for all post elevated temperature of the CFS stub column and the column were predicted to fail by distortional buckling. The CFS channels are able to remain the strength after exposing to temperature up to 400 ºC. Beyond that, the capacity was reduced more than 40 % of the normal strength. The prediction with the EC3 yield for temperature up to 400 ºC the prediction is overdesigned and considerably unsafe. But beyond temperature of 400 ºC, it was conservative similar to the Direct Strength Method. The columns are predicted to fail in compression failure.

This coordinate system is the foundation of analytic geometry, and it has been extensively used in many disciplines such as physics, engineering, astronomy, and many more. In this work, we represent the location of the main part of an Islamic architecture in the East Coast of Malaysia in terms of Cartesian coordinate. The results show that the center of the dome is located at point (0, 0, z 0) with the prayer hall considered as the xy-plane. The Cartesian equations of other boundary in the main part of the Islamic architecture are also formulated.

The BAA is a waste material that is taken from electric coal power plant and the basic source material of WBAA is a treated bottom ash. The BAA is fully submerged in clean and clear water for 3 days to produce a WBAA with low amount of carbon. This WBAA with low carbon composition is utilised to produce concrete with less percentage of carbon usage. Low amount of carbon can reduce energy in building, reduce environmental impact and can be supported to green material in concrete. So that, this two types of bottom ash were studied their physical properties and then compared. The aim of the study is to investigate the physical comparison of BAA and WBAA in producing concrete or concrete applications. The results of the sieve analysis and fineness modulus of BAA and WBAA were discussed. The calculated of fineness modulus of BAA and WBAA are 4.93 and 3.65 respectively, which are more than 3.5 and it is considered very coarse. Finally, it is concluded that this both aggregate is potential for utilise in concrete and mortar or concrete/mortar application.

Research paper thumbnail of Investigation on Compressive Strength of Special Concrete made with Crushed Waste Glass

Special concrete made with waste material is becoming popular in a construction site. This is because the special concrete is selected due to quality, integrity, economic factor and environmental factor. The waste glass is selected as an additional material to provide a good in compressive strength value. The compressive strength is the importance of mechanical properties of concrete and typically the concrete is sustained and stiffed in compression load. The significant issue to utilize the waste glass from the automotive windscreen is to improve the strength of concrete. The waste glass is crushed to become 5 mm size and recognised as crushed waste glass that be used in concrete as additional material. The main objective of the study is to determine the appropriate percentage of crushed waste glass in concrete grade, 30 in order to enhance the compressive strength. There are four mixes of concrete that contained of crushed waste glass with percentage of 2 %, 4 %, 6 % and 8 % and one control mix with 0 % of crushed waste glass. As the result, crushed waste glass with an additional 4 % in concrete is reported having a higher value of compressive strength in early and mature stage. In addition, if the percentage of crushed glass wastes in concrete increases and it leads to a reduction in the workability of concrete. 2 Material and method This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
