Thepaper studies the mechanical properties ofsteel fibers reinforced lightweight concrete.This kind of concrete is produced by usingscoria aggregateswhich can be found abundantly in Syria. Thelightweight concrete mixeswere designed for three different percentage of steel fibers (0, 0.5, 0.75)%. Different tests were performed to determine mechanical properties of product concrete such as compressive strength, elasticity modulus, splitting tensile strengthand flexural strengthalso; the stress–strain diagram of produced lightweight concrete was established under compression. The results showedanincrease of the compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths reach up 16.9%, 25.6%, and 53.6% respectivelywhen the steel fibers were used. Also the results indicated the importance of using the steel fibers to improve the performance of concrete and change its brittle behavior to ductile behavior.

foamed concrete is a concrete made by cement slurry mixed with foaming agent, so that foamed concrete is lighter than conventional concrete. The objectives of this study is to produce this kind of concrete, and to study some of its physical and mec hanical properties. Mix design of concrete was made for four required densities (1000, 1300,1600,1900 kg/m3), cement content of 350 kg/ m3, and water to cement ratio equal to 0.5. Different tests were performed to determine some properties of product concrete such as density, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The results demonstrated the possibility of production foamed concrete with wide range of density and strength. The oven dry density of foamed concrete was in the range of (870-1773 kg/m3) , compressive strength was in the range of (2.95-16.2 Mpa ), and the splitting strength was in the range of (0.32-1.76Mpa).
This research aims to study the effect of addition the filling materials (sodium aluminosilicate, Talc) to the unsaturated polyester(unsaturated polyester resign)(UPR) first, and unsaturated polyester reinforced by fiberglass (20%) secondly, Number o f mechanical tests were done, they included (Tensile, Flexural Strength). The effect of addition of filling materials sodium aluminosilicate (SAS), Talc, and a mixture of sodium aluminosilicate and Talc to the unreinforced polyester with fiberglass was studied in the first step of the research, and the results showed that the best values were gotten when adding a mixture of ((SAS) and Talc) at ratio (10% SAS,5% Talc), where the tensile strength value raised up from (31.2 MPa) to (33 MPa), and the elastic module value also raised up from (2330 MPa) to (2750.5 MPa) , and the flexural strength value also raised up from (0.057 GPa) to (0.0729 GPa). The effect of addition of filling materials (sodium aluminosilicate, Talc, and a mixture of sodium aluminosilicate and Talc ) to the reinforced polyester with fiberglass (20%) was studied in the second step of the research, and the results showed that the best values were gotten when adding a mixture of ((SAS) and Talc) at ratio (5% SAS,5% Talc), where the tensile strength value raised up from (101.7 MPa) to (108.8 MPa), and the elastic module value also raised up from (5616 MPa) to (6367.9 MPa), and the flexural strength value raised up from (0.1203 GPa) to (0.1597 GPa).
The large increase in the volume of demolition concrete waste and its impact on the environment has led to reconsider of using concrete demolition rubble as a partial or a whole alternative of natural aggregates to produce new concrete which has th e required properties to use in engineering constructions[1]. With the possibility of improving the mechanical properties of this concrete by processing this aggregates before using it or support this concrete with fiber to improve its structural behavior. This research deals with the study of the replacement the natural aggregates used in concrete with recycled concrete aggregates resulting from the demolition rubble , according to different replacement ratiosranging between 0 % -25 % -50 % -75 % -100% and the impact on the concrete behavior with a natural aggregates and determine the optimal replacementpercentage. The results showed a relative decrease in the concrete resistance on the simple pressure , limited decrease in the volumetric mass also, and a slight adjustment to the behavior of concrete under the loading effect by increasing the replacement proportion of the natural aggregateswith recycled concrete aggregates..
The effects of induction hardening on mechanical properties of two kinds of carbon steel (0.59%C , 0.35%C) that are widely used in local industry, were discussed by exposed specimens that were induction hardened with different values of power and i nductor's speed to hardness, tensile, and impact tests. The results of tests showed that the mechanical properties become greater with slight decrease in impact energy of carbon steel when induction hardening is used, and showed the possibility to do control on product's properties by make control on treatment parameters .
