Rheology of cementitious paste with silica fume or limestone

The rheological behaviour of cementitious pastes where cement has increasingly been replaced by densified silica fume (SF), untreated SF or limestone has been studied. The effect of SF on the flow resistance, taken as the area under the flow curve, was found to depend on the dispersing ability of the plasticizer as illustrated by pastes with naphtalene sulphonate-formaldehyde condensate (SNF) and polyether grafted polyacrylate (PA).The gel strengths increased with increasing SF replacement of cement independently of plasticizer type. The cementitious gel strength was, however, depending on the type of SF since pastes with densified SF developed lower gel strengths than pastes with untreated SF. This phenomenon was attributed to agglomerates in the densified SF which remained unbroken by the mixing and measurement sequence.Both flow resistance and gel strength decreased with increasing limestone replacement. Thus, silica fume may have an advantage over limestone filler as stabilizing agent for self-compacting concrete preventing segregation upon standing and reduced form pressure due to a more rapid gel formation.     

Studies on mechanical,thermal, and morphology of diglycidylether‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane‐modified epoxy–bismaleimide matrices

An epoxy matrix system modified by diglycidylether‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (DGETPDMS) and bismaleimide (BMI) was developed. Epoxy systems modified with 4, 8, and 12% (by wt) of DGETPDMS were made using epoxy resin and DGETPDMS, with diaminodiphenylmethane as the curing agent. The DGETPDMS‐toughened epoxy systems were further modified with 4, 8, and 12% (by wt) of BMI, namely (N,N′‐bismaleimido‐4,4′‐diphenylmethane). DGETPDMS/BMI/epoxy matrices were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and heat deflection temperature analysis. The matrices, in the form of castings, were characterized for their mechanical properties, viz. tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact test, as per ASTM methods. Mechanical studies indicate that the introduction of DGETPDMS into epoxy resin improves the impact strength, with reduction in tensile strength, flexural strength, and glass transition temperature, whereas the incorporation of BMI into epoxy resin enhances the mechanical and thermal properties according to its percentage content. However, the introduction of both DGETPDMS and BMI enhances the values of thermomechanical properties according to their percentage content. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Properties of lightweight expanded polystyrene concrete reinforced with steel fiber

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) concrete is a lightweight, low strength material with good energy-absorbing characteristics. However, due to the light weight of EPS beads and their hydrophobic surface, EPS concrete is prone to segregation during casting, which results in poor workability and lower strength. In this study, a premix method similar to the ‘sand-wrapping’ technique was utilized to make EPS concrete. Its mechanical properties were investigated as well. The research showed that EPS concrete with a density of 800-1800 kg/m³ and a compressive strength of 10-25 MPa can be made by partially replacing coarse and fine aggregate by EPS beads. Fine silica fume greatly improved the bond between the EPS beads and cement paste and increased the compressive strength of EPS concrete. In addition, adding steel fiber significantly improved the drying shrinkage.     

Modeling bond strength of corroded reinforcement without stirrups

Deterioration of bond strength between concrete and reinforcement is of great importance in studying the strength of structural members with corroded reinforcements. A simple analytical model is proposed to demonstrate the effect of corrosion of reinforcing bar on reduction of bond strength. The corrosion pressure due to expansive action of corrosion products before and after corrosion cracking is firstly estimated. Then, reduction of bar confinement caused by cover cracking, change of friction coefficient between the steel and the concrete, and reduction of the friction force on the bearing face as well as deterioration of the ribs of the deformed bars due to steel corrosion are considered in calculating the mechanical interactions between reinforcing bar and concrete. As a result, the bond strength of corroded bars is calculated. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental results and agree with those results well.     

Oil absorbents based on styrene–butadiene rubber

Four oil absorbents based on styrene–butadiene (SBR)—pure SBR (PS), 4‐tert‐butylstyrene–SBR (PBS), EPDM–SBR network (PES), and 4‐tert‐butylstyrene‐EPDM‐SBR (PBES)—were produced from crosslinking polymerization of uncured styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR), 4‐tert‐butylstyrene (tBS), and ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM). The reaction took place in toluene using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. Uncured SBR was used as both a prepolymer and a crosslink agent in this work, and the crosslinked polymer was identified by IR spectroscopy. The oil absorbency of the crosslinked polymer was evaluated with ASTM method F726‐81. The order of maximum oil absorbency was PBES > PBS > PES > PS. The maximum values of oil absorbency of PBES and PBS were 74.0 and 69.5 g/g, respectively. Gel fractions and swelling kinetic constants, however, had opposite sequences. The swelling kinetic constant of PS evaluated by an experimental equation was 49.97 × 10^?2 h^?1. The gel strength parameter, S, the relaxation exponent, n, and the fractal dimension, d_f, of the crosslinked polymer at the pseudo‐critical gel state were determined from oscillatory shear measurements by a dynamic rheometer. The morphologies and light resistance properties of the crosslinked polymers were observed, respectively, with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a color difference meter.
