Light Weight Aggregate

Common concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete and self-compacting concrete with strength grade C50 were tested under freeze-thaw actions. Experimental results show that the Light weight aggregate concrete has the best freeze-thaw resistance. Furthermore, the relative dynamic elastic modulus is used to quantitatively analyze the interior damage of concrete materials subjected to freeze-thaw actions, and the freeze-thaw damage evolution equations were established by using quadratic functions, and the computational damage values agree well with the experimental results.

Since lightweight aggregate usually accounts for a higher percentage of the concrete by volume, the properties of lightweight aggregate can significantly influence the properties of the resulting concrete. In this study, we investigated the effects of the water content of lightweight coarse aggregate (LCA) on freeze-thaw resistance of lightweight aggregate concrete (LC) and analyzed how to control the fatal frost damage - cracks in LC. The results showed that the freeze-thaw resistance of LC was determined by the water content of LCA. It is clear that lowering the water content of LCA below 17% is the key method to secure the freeze-thaw resistance of LC. The study showed that the higher the water content of LCA, the higher the weight loss and the larger pore volume of LCA, the bigger the length expansion and the lower the durability factors of LC after freezing and thawing. Internal cracks occurred only in the concrete specimens that contained LCAs with higher water content when subjected to freezing and thawing. Expansion pressure occurred easily in the higher water content LCAs and micro-cracks formed initially in the weak grains. Then micro-cracks enlarged and spread to the mortar as the number of freeze-thaw cycles increased. This process eventually caused LC expansion and damage.

Freeze Thaw

Experiment on the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of fiber lightweight aggregate concrete (FLWAC) after freeze-thaw cycling and high temperature was tested through blending polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVAF) and polyacrylonitrile fiber (PANF) in aggregate concrete respectively. Five temperature levels, room temperature, 200°C, 400°C, 600°Cand 800°C were selected to heat the FLWAC test blocks after 25 times of freeze-thaw cycling. The micro-structure of FLWAC was observed through SEM. The experiment results show that, the cubic compressive strength of FLWAC is improved when the temperature is above 200°C, and the splitting tensile strength of FLWAC is obviously improved between the ranges from room temperature to 600°C. Blending fiber can weaken the brittle fracture performance of LWAC after freeze-thaw cycling at the peak loading state. However, the mass loss doesn’t have obvious improvement before and after 25 number of freeze-thaw cycling.
