Rheological, mechanical and durability properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) mixes produced using blended binders containing metakaolin and blast furnace slag are studied. The rheological properties of SCC mix with metakaolin are characterized by significant yield stress and relatively low viscosity, while the mix with blast furnace slag shows zero yield stress and higher viscosity. The compressive strength of SCC with metakaolin grows very fast during the initial hardening period and remains significantly higher, as compared with the mix with blast furnace slag, up to 90 days. Durability properties of the mix containing metakaolin are excellent. Water absorption coefficient and water penetration depths are very low. The freeze resistance tests show zero mass loss after 56 cycles in deicing salt solution. 相似文献

This study investigated the behavior of apparent electrical resistivity of concrete mixes with the addition of rice husk ash using Wenner’s four electrode method. Tests included compressive strength, porosity and electrical conductivity of the pore solution. The contents of rice husk ash tested were 10%, 20% and 30% and results were compared with a reference mix with 100% Portland cement and two other binary mixes with 35% fly ash and 50% blast furnace slag. Higher contents of rice husk ash resulted in higher electrical resistivity, which exceeded those of all other samples. However, for compressive strength levels between 40 MPa and 70 MPa, the mix with 50% blast furnace slag showed the best combination of cost and performance. 相似文献

This paper presents experimental study on the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). Portland cement (PC) was replaced with fly ash (FA), granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), limestone powder (LP), basalt powder (BP) and marble powder (MP) in various proportioning rates. The influence of mineral admixtures on the workability, compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, density and sulphate resistance of SCC was investigated. Sulphate resistance tests involved immersion in 10% magnesium sulphate and 10% sodium sulphate solutions for a period of 400 days. The degree of sulphate attack was evaluated using visual examination and reduction in compressive strength. The test results showed that among the mineral admixtures used, FA and GBFS significantly increased the workability and compressive strength of SCC mixtures. Replacing 25% of PC with FA resulted in a strength of more than 105 MPa at 400 days. Moreover, the presence of mineral admixtures had a beneficial effect on the strength loss due to sodium and magnesium sulphate attack. On the other hand, the best resistance to sodium and magnesium sulphate attacks was obtained from a combination of 40% GBFS with 60% PC. 相似文献

The objective of this study is to investigate the use of ground palm oil fuel ash with high fineness (GPA) as a pozzolanic material to produce high-strength concrete. Samples were made by replacing Type I Portland cement with various proportions of GPA. Properties such as the compressive strength, drying shrinkage, water permeability, and sulfate resistance, were then investigated. After aging for 28 days, the compressive strengths of these concrete samples were found to be in the range of 59.5–64.3 MPa. At 90-day the compressive strength of concrete containing GPA 20% was as high as 70 MPa. The drying shrinkage and water permeability were lower than those of high-strength concrete made from Type I Portland cement. When the concrete samples were immersed in a 10% MgSO4 solution for 180 days, the sulfate resistance in terms of the expansion and loss of compressive strength was improved. The results indicated that GPA is a reactive pozzolanic material and can be used as a supplementary cementitious material for producing high-strength concrete. 相似文献

Concrete pop-outs are a common occurrence in foreign countries; however, this has not been the case in Korea, until recently when pop-outs were observed on the concrete walls of an apartment. Our investigation revealed that the electric arc furnace (EAF) slag, as fine aggregates in the concrete caused the pop-out.This study discusses the cause that EAF slag as fine aggregates for concrete create the pop-outs, and an appropriate repair depth for deteriorated concrete as suggested by finite element (FE) analysis.Results show that the free CaO and free MgO in the EAF slag were primarily responsible for creating the pop-outs. These findings led us to conclude that the defect could occur to the depth of 34 mm in the concrete with 21 MPa strength as the EAF slag size was up to 5 mm. As an effective repair method for pop-outs, replacing concrete up to 23 mm in depth from the surface with polymer mortar of 50 MPa design strength was suggested, and the proposed method is verified through experimentation. 相似文献

In this paper, the combination of fly ash and silica fume, or fly ash and blast furnace slag were used as the composite mineral admixtures in cement paste. The autogenous shrinkage and the pore structure of the hardened cement paste with mineral admixtures were tested, and the relationship of the autogenous shrinkage and pore structure also was discussed. The results indicate that fly ash can reduce the autogenous shrinkage, and silica fume can increase the autogenous shrinkage, and the effect of blast furnace slag is between the two above; although both silica fume and blast furnace slag can weaken the porosity and the mean diameter of cement paste, and increase the volumetric percentage of pores whose diameter is between 5 and 50 nm and pore specific surface, silica fume is better than blast furnace slag in changing the pore structure. The relationship between the autogenous shrinkage and volumetric percentage of pores whose diameter is between 5 and 50 nm is obviously proportional. 相似文献

Pozzolanas are readily available for use in concrete in the local markets for strength and/or durability enhancement. Although safety and security against disasters are not new, they still presuming a challenge. For instance, the fire resistive properties of concrete are of prime interest.Through this work, the effect of different kinds of pozzolana on the fire resistive properties of concrete was studied. Four types of pozzolana were incorporated into the concrete mixtures, i.e. metakaolin (MK), silica fume (SF), fly ash (FA), and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). Each of the employed pozzolana was used in two ratios: 10% and 20%, either in the form of cement replacement or as an addition without affecting the cement content. A total of 17 mixes were cast.For all mixtures, compressive strength is evaluated after 28 days of water curing. The mixtures’ compressive strengths were also evaluated after exposure to elevated temperatures: 200 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C, and 800 °C. The residual compressive strengths after heat exposure are evaluated. The formed cementitious phases after incorporation of pozzolana and the heat-induced transformations are investigated via the X-ray diffraction technique (XRD).Test results demonstrate the impact of each type of the employed pozzolana on the heat resistive properties of concrete in addition to their influence on the strength development of the investigated mixes. Therefore, a decision could be made regarding optimizing the benefits specific to each type of pozzolana and their employment method. 相似文献

The use of paper-mill residuals in concrete formulations was investigated as an alternative to landfill disposal. The mechanical and durability properties of concrete containing paper-mill residuals collected from a wastewater treatment-plant were evaluated. Class F fly ash was used as a replacement for Portland cement (PC) when incorporated into concrete mixtures containing paper-mill residuals and the resulting products were compared to normal concrete. Compressive, splitting tensile, flexural strength and drying shrinkage tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties for up to 90 days. Rapid chloride-permeability tests and initial surface-absorption tests were carried out at 28 days to determine the durability properties. Concrete containing paper-mill residuals showed improvement in the durability test results when PC was replaced with class F fly ash. 相似文献

This study investigates the abrasion–erosion resistance of high-strength concrete (HSC) mixtures in which cement was partially replaced by four kinds of replacements (15%, 20%, 25% and 30%) of class F fly ash. The mixtures containing ordinary Portland cement were designed to have 28 days compressive strength of approximately 40–80 MPa. Specimens were subjected to abrasion–erosion testing in accordance with ASTM C1138. Experimental results show that the abrasion–erosion resistances of fly ash concrete mixtures were improved by increasing compressive strength and decreasing the ratio of water-to-cementitious materials. The abrasion–erosion resistance of concrete with cement replacement up to 15% was comparable to that of control concrete without fly ash. Beyond 15% cement replacement, fly ash concrete showed lower resistance to abrasion–erosion compared to non-fly ash concrete. Equations were established based on effective compressive strengths and effective water-to-cementitious materials ratios, which were modified by cement replacement and developed to predict the 28- and 91-day abrasion–erosion resistance of concretes with compressive strengths ranging from approximately 30–100 MPa. The calculation results are compared favorably with the experimental results. 相似文献

Mechanical characteristics and durability properties of blast furnace slag cement composites largely depend on the hydraulic activity of the slag. In this paper, a Granulated Blast Furnace Slag with a low reactivity index is used in modifying mortar composition. Microstructure and durability of mixes containing 0%, 30% and 50% of slag as substitution to OPC are respectively compared and analyzed. Water porosity, Mercury Intrusion Porosity and pore size distribution are studied after 28, 90 and 360 days of wet curing. A qualitative microstructure analysis of mortars is proposed with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The durability of mortar is evaluated through capillary water absorption and chloride diffusion tests. The results indicate a finer porosity and lower water absorption for slag mortars at old ages (90 and 360 days). Moreover, lower chloride diffusion for 50% blast furnace slag substitution is observed. 相似文献

The development of new binders, as an alternative to traditional cement, by the alkaline activation of industrial by-products (i.e. ground granulated slag and fly ash) is an ongoing research topic in the scientific community [Puertas F, Amat T, Jimenez AF, Vazquez T. Mechanical and durable behaviour of alkaline cement mortars reinforced with polypropylene fibres. Cem Concr Res 2003;33(12): 2031–6]. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using and alkaline activated ground Turkish slag to produce a mortar without Portland cement (PC).Following the characterization of the slag, mortar specimens made with alkali-activated slag were prepared. Three different activators were used: liquid sodium silicate (LSS), sodium hydroxide (SH) and sodium carbonate (SC) at different sodium concentrations. Compressive and flexural tensile strength of alkali-activated slag mortar was measured at 7-days, 28-days and 3-months. Drying shrinkage of the mortar was measured up to 6-months. Setting times of the alkali-activated slag paste and PC paste were also measured.Setting times of LSS and SH activated slag pastes were found to be much slower than the setting time of PC paste. However, slag paste activated with SC showed similar setting properties to PC paste.LSS, SH and SC activated slag mortar developed 81, 29, and 36 MPa maximum compressive strengths, and 6.8, 3.8, and 5.3 MPa maximum flexural tensile strengths at 28-days. PC mortar developed 33 MPa compressive strength and 5.2 MPa flexural tensile strength. LSS and SH activated slag mortars were found to be more brittle than SC activated slag and PC mortars.Slag mortar made with LSS had a high drying shrinkage, up to six times that of PC mortar. Similarly, slag mortar made with SH had a shrinkage up to three times that of PC mortar. However, SC activated slag mortar had a lower or comparable shrinkage to PC mortar. Therefore, the use of SC as an activator for slag mortar is recommended, since it results in adequate strength, similar setting times to PC mortar and comparable or lower shrinkage. 相似文献

Quarry dust is a by-product from the granite crushing process in quarrying activities. This paper presents the findings from experimental work undertaken to evaluate the suitability of quarry dust as a partial substitute for sand in high-strength concrete (HSC) containing rice husk ash (RHA). Two grades of HSC mixes, to achieve 60 MPa and 70 MPa at 28 days, were designed with and without the incorporation of RHA. Quarry dust was then used in the mixes containing RHA as a partial substitute for sand, in quantities ranging from 10% to 40%. The slump of the fresh concrete and the compressive strength development were monitored up to 28 days. Based on the results obtained, the mixes containing 20% quarry dust were chosen as the optimum mix design for both grades of concrete, which would then undergo further evaluation of their strength and mechanical properties up to one year. The results obtained in the next stage suggest that even though the use of quarry dust as a partial substitute for sand results in some minor negative effects in the compressive strength and other mechanical properties of concrete, these outcomes can easily be compensated by a good mix design and by the incorporation of RHA. The findings of the research assert that quarry dust can be used as a viable replacement material to sand to produce high-strength RHA concrete. 相似文献

Efforts have been made to make high strength alpha plaster from phosphogypsum, a by-product of phosphoric acid industry. Phosphogypsum was autoclaved in slurry form (phosphogypsum 50% + water 50%, by wt.) in the laboratory at different steam pressures for different durations in presence of chemical admixtures. It was found that with small quantity of chemical admixture (sodium succinate/potassium citrate/sodium sulphate), alpha plaster of high strength can be produced. The optimum pressure and duration of autoclaving was found to be as 35 psi and 2.0 h, respectively. The alpha plaster was examined for making cementitious binders by admixing hydrated lime, fly ash, granulated blast furnace slag, marble dust and chemical additives with alpha plaster. Data showed that cementitious binder of compressive strength of 22.0 and 30 MPa (at 28 days of curing at 40° and 50 °C) and low water absorption was produced. DTA and SEM studies of the binder showed formation of CSH, ettringite and C4AH13 as main cementitious products to give strength. 相似文献

This work investigated geopolymeric lightweight concretes based on binders composed of metakaolin with 0% and 25% fly ash, activated with 15.2% of Na2O using sodium silicate of modulus SiO2/Na2O = 1.2. Concretes of densities of 1200, 900 and 600 kg/m3 were obtained by aeration by adding aluminium powder, in some formulations lightweight aggregate of blast furnace slag was added at a ratio binder:aggregate 1:1; curing was carried out at 20 and 75 °C. The compressive and flexural strength development was monitored for up to 180 days. The strength diminished with the reduction of the density and high temperature curing accelerated strength development. The use of the slag had a positive effect on strength for 1200 kg/m3 concretes; reducing the amount of binder used. The thermal conductivity diminished from 1.65 to 0.47 W/mK for densities from 1800 to 600 kg/m3. The microstructures revealed dense cementitious matrices conformed of reaction products and unreacted metakaolin and fly ash. Energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction showed the formation of amorphous silicoaluminate reaction products. 相似文献

The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of paste composition and paste volume on the fresh and hardened properties of Self-Compacting Concrete. Nineteen SCC mixtures were investigated for different paste composition and paste volume. Fresh concrete tests such as slump flow, J ring, and V funnel test were performed; hardened concrete tests were limited to compressive strength. The results revealed that slump flow and J ring flow increased with increase in paste volume. A simple empirical equation was proposed for the determination of the paste volume for the required slump flow of SCC. Compressive strength of the different SCC mixtures ranged between 20 MPa and 70 MPa. 相似文献

The cementitious performance of a coarse granulated blast furnace slag, 2900 cm2/g, was investigated in concretes of 230, 280 and 330 kg binder/m3. First, the slag partially replaced 30%, 50% and 70% of Portland cement, the strength reduced as the amount of slag increased; however, for high binder contents, similar strengths were attained for lower Portland cement contents. Second, the slag was alkali activated with sodium silicate (moduli 1.7 and 2) at 4%, 6% and 8% %Na2O, the strength increased with the amount of slag in the concrete and developed faster as %Na2O increased. The microstructures of both type of concretes were dense; however, the strengths of activated slag were superior at similar binder loads, indicating that the hydration products of activated slag are of higher intrinsic strength. 相似文献

Corrosion of steel bars embedded in concrete having compressive strengths of 20, 30 and 46 MPa was investigated. Reinforced concrete specimens were immersed in a 3% NaCl solution by weight for 1, 7 and 15 days. In order to accelerate the chemical reactions, an external current of 0.4 A was applied using portable power supply. Corrosion rate was measured by retrieving electrochemical information of polarization technique. Pull-out tests of reinforced concrete specimens were then conducted to assess the corroded steel/concrete bond characteristics.Experimental results showed that corrosion rate of steel bars and bond strength between corroded steel/concrete were dependent on concrete strength and accelerated corrosion period. As concrete strength increased from 20 to 46 MPa, corrosion rate of embedded steel decreased. First day of corrosion acceleration caused a slight increase in steel/concrete bond strength, whereas sever corrosion after 7 and 15 days of corrosion acceleration significantly reduced steel/concrete bond strength. Visual and metallographic observation of steel bars removed from concrete samples after testing revealed that the severity of corrosion reactions and reduction of steel bar diameter increased as the corrosion acceleration period increased. Presence of localized corrosion pits as well as severe corrosion grooves of steel bars was confirmed after 7 and 15 days of corrosion acceleration, respectively. 相似文献

The feasibility of using steel fibres to improve the tensile strength and durability of cement–sand grout was investigated. Initial tests focused on achieving pumpable grout mixes and 13 mm round steel fibres with a diameter of 0.16 mm were found to be compatible with a conventional grout paddle mixer and piston pump. Subsequently, grouts with 0.5% and 1% fibre volume fraction were subjected to compressive and splitting tensile strength tests, coefficient of permeability tests and wet–dry cycles. The effect of partial cement replacement with silica fume and blast furnace slag was also investigated. It was found that steel fibres were beneficial for short- and long-term tensile strength. Coefficient of permeability was not adversely affected by addition of fibres. Resistance to microcracking and increase in permeability after wet–dry cycles was also improved by steel fibres. Partial replacement of cement with blast furnace slag resulted in enhanced mechanical properties, whereas the results for silica fume were mixed. 相似文献

This study intends to investigate the impact of high temperature, melting and burnout of Polypropylene Fibre (PP fibre) on mechanical properties, pore size distribution and air permeability of high strength concrete. The specimens were high-strength concrete with 120 MPa strength produced with a water-binder ratio of 20%. To examine the effects of melting and burnout of the PP fibre, the experiment was conducted using two mixtures. One mixture contained 1.5 kg/m3 of PP fibre, while the other did not contain any PP fibre. Heating temperatures were set to room temperature (RT), 120, 200, 300 and 400 °C, considering the temperatures for the melting and burnout of the PP fibre. After heating and cooling, compression tests were carried out on the concrete specimens to measure the modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio. Pore size distribution was measured using the fragments created by the compression tests. Air permeability was estimated by measuring the pore size distribution. It was found that melting and burnout of the fibre did not affect the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity but the Poisson's ratio of the specimens containing fibres increased at 400 °C. The effect of melting and burnout of fibre on pore volume and air permeability is quite small. If it is assumed that micro-cracks affected the air permeability, it is expected that high strength concrete with a large fibre content should create many micro-cracks at high temperature, leading to an increase of air permeability. 相似文献

Mechanical characteristics of Fibre Reinforced High Performance Concrete (FR-HPC) subjected to high temperatures were experimentally investigated in this paper. Three different concretes were prepared: a normal strength concrete (NSC) and two High Performance Concretes (HPC1 and HPC2). Fibre reinforced concretes were produced by addition of steel or polypropylene fibres in the above mixtures at dosages of 40 kg/m3 and 5 kg/m3, respectively. A total of nine concrete mixtures were produced and fibres were added in six of them. At the age of 120 days specimens were heated to maximum temperatures of 100, 300, 500 and 700 °C. Specimens were then allowed to cool in the furnace and tested for compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and ultrasonic pulse velocity. Reference tests were also performed at air temperature (20 °C). Residual strength of NSC and HPC1 was reduced almost linearly up to 700 °C and 500 °C, respectively whereas the residual strength of HPC2 was sharply reduced up to 300 °C. Explosive spalling was observed on both HPC. Addition of steel fibres increased the residual strength up to 300 °C, but spalling still occurred in HPC1 and HPC2. Such an explosive behavior was not observed when polypropylene fibres were added in the mixtures; however, in this case the residual mechanical characteristics of all concretes were significantly reduced. 相似文献
