Corrosion is a major concern for the durability of concrete structures under marine environment. In this paper three series of concrete was immerged in sea water to reseaech its development of compressive strength, microstructure and corrsosion production. The results showed that compressive strength of controlled concrete was decreased but it can further increased added fly ash and silicon fume after immerged in sea water. It can be observation by SEM and EDS that a number of complex salt was produced on the surface and AFt was produced inside controlled concrete. It can produce expand and lead to cracks. As result of fly ash and silicon fume added, the crystals of Mg(OH)2 was formed on the surface and no crystal and cracks was produced internal concrete. The compressive strength can still increase after immerged in sea water.

Barite concrete with density grade of 3 and strength grade of C30 was prepared by mixing with different fineness of fly ash. The workability, mechanical properties and long-term high temperature performance of the prepared barite concrete were researched. Results show that the workability of barite concrete is improved by mixing with fly ash, and no segregation of mixture has been observed. The apparent density and 3d, 28d compressive strength of barite concrete are decreased obviously after mixing with fly ash. But with the increasing of the fineness of fly ash, the apparent density and 3d, 28d compressive strength of barite concrete have a slight increase. High temperature residual compressive strength is decreased with the increasing of temperature. The cycle times of heat treatment at 400°C only has a little effect on residual compressive strength of barite concrete.

The analysis of influence of fly ash additive to concrete on the basis of cement CEM IIIA 32,5 N on the tightness and strength was presented in the paper. Researches were carried out for three types of concrete made with the use of CEM IIIA 32,5N LH HSR NA cement. The basic recipe of concrete does not contain the additive of fly ash, while two other concretes contain the fly ash additive in an amount of 25% and 33% of the cement mass. Laboratory investigations of the concrete samples were carried out under conditions of long-term maturation in the range of the water tightness and the depth of water penetration in concrete, compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete at splitting. Keywords: concrete testing, furnace cement, fly ash additive, water tightness of concrete, strength of concrete.


The present study appraises the recitals of carboxylic acid- based admixture to increase concrete water tightness and self-sealing capacity of the cement and geopolymer concrete. Outcomes of the previous studies in particular, adding 1% by cement mass of the carboxylic polymer reasons for reduction in the water dispersion under pressure of 7-day wet cured concrete by 50% associated to that of the conforming reference concrete. At 7 days, M4 mix compressive strength is about 43.5% less than M3 mix. The compressive strength of M4 increases and is about 37.6% less than M3 mix at 28 days of curing. At 7 days, M4 mix split tensile strength is about 17.5% less than M3 mix (cement concrete with 0.45 w/c ratio). The split tensile strength of M4 declines and is about 42.3% less than M3 mix at 28 days of curing. The strength of the geopolymer concrete tends to increase as the time period increases due to the presence of fly ash in it. So it is expected that geopolymer concrete will give more strength than cement concrete in long term with the presence of carboxylic acid

Introduced the concept of “Cementitious Coefficient” of fly ash, theoretical formula of strength of HFCC at a certain age was found with two variables: actual water-binder ratio and micro-aggregate-binder ratio. Development regularity of compressive strength of HFCC was studied and formula of long-term strength coefficient D28t was settled. Influence of actual water-binder ratio and micro-aggregate-binder ratio on long-term strength of HFCC was analyzed. Experimental results showed that along with the single-factor increase of actual water-binder ratio and micro-aggregate-binder ratio, growth rate of long-term strength of HFCC increased; influence of actual water-binder ratio was deeper than that of micro-aggregate-binder ratio.
