Pottery cull, a cement replacement / by Craig Lieffring. by Lieffring, Craig Subjects Concrete -- Additives   Portland cement   Recycling (Waste, etc.) -- United States   Fly ash -- Recycling.   Glass   MSST Project.

Contents:  Thesis advisor: Dr. Douglas Stahl Committee members: Dr. Carol Diggelman, Dr. John Zachar Introduction and literature review -- Experiment summary -- Results and discussion -- Conclusions and recommendations. Kohler Co. manufactures vitreous sanitary ware at numerous facilities around the world. Kohler Co. only accepts the best product, resulting in less desirable pieces becoming waste product. This waste product, cull, accounts for nearly 3,200 metric tons per month. Cull is currently stockpiled in landfills to be used as fill or sub-base for infrastructure improvement projects. Often, the cull is not used and is eventually buried. The object of this paper is to determine if ground cull can be an effective substitute for cement. Cull from Kohler Company's vitreous product line in Spartanburg, South Carolina was used in this experiment. The cull was ground to a size passing through a 325 mesh sieve. Once in powder form, the cull is referred to as pitcher. Mortar cubes were made using various mixtures in accordance with ASTM C109. The mixtures were comprised of cement, pitcher, sand, and water. The control sample did not contain any pitcher. In the other samples, a portion of the Portland cement was replaced with pitcher. Specimens with five, ten, twenty, and thirty percent pitcher, by weight were tested. The results of the experiment show that this cull can be used as an effective replacement for cement while maintaining or increasing the compressive strength of a mortar mixture. However, further tests are needed to determine the feasibility and sustainability of using cull as a replacement for cement.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .L535 2010 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
