Compressive Behavior

Elastic modulus is an important mechanical index for the cement-based materials, which has a significant effect on the static and dynamic response of the concrete structure. To investigate the compressive behavior of nano metakaolin cement mortar, the effects of dispersion conditions, water to binder ratios, and mineral admixtures on the compressive strength of nano metakaolin cement mortar were examined. The elastic modulus of nano metakaolin cement mortar under different water to binder ratios and mineral admixtures was obtained. Based on the theory of micromechanics of composite materials, a theoretical model was deduced to calculate elastic modulus of nano metakaolin cement mortar. Based on the experimental results, an influence coefficient was introduced into simplified model to estimate the elastic modulus of nano metakaolin cement mortar. The results demonstrate that the application of ultrasonic dispersion and long-duration dispersion time (no more than 15 min) can effectively improve the compressive strength of nano metakaolin cement mortar. Compressive strength of nano metakaolin cement mortar mixed with ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, and attapulgite clay is 33.38%, 17.65%, and 6.45% higher than that of the ordinary mortar, respectively. Compared with the experimental results, the calculated error of theoretical model is no more than 5%, while the calculated error of the simplified model is no more than 10%.

Experimental Results

An experimental investigation was carried out to assess the effect of metakaolin (MK) on the compressive strength, flexural strength and porosity of cement mortar. The cement was partially substituted with MK at 0-30% replacement levels. The results show that the strengths and porosity of mortar containing up to 20% were superior to that of control (0% MK). The Balshin equation fits the experimental results of compressive strength and porosity of the specimens containing MK and there is a strong quantitative relationship between compressive strength and porosity of the specimens.

A theoretical model for the process occurring in the cutting zone is developed. A computer solution to apply the model to an actual ECM situation is outlined. A simplified model and computer solution is described which can be used to predict machining parameters for complex geometries. For both models good correlation of experimental results is found in most cases. The application of classical electrochemistry to conditions where extreme current densities (5800 amps/cm2) are encountered is discussed.

Steel Slag Powder

This study is aimed at exploring the effect of steel slag powder (SSP), fly ash (FA), and silica fume (SF) on the mechanical properties and durability of cement mortar. SSP, SF, and FA were used as partial replacement of the Ordinary Portland cement (OPC). It was showed that the compressive and bending strength of steel slag powder were slightly lower than that of OPC. An increase in the SSP content caused a decrease in strength. However, the growth rate of compressive strength of SSP2 (20% replacement by the weight of OPC) at the curing ages of 90 days was about 8% higher than that of OPC, and the durability of SSP2 was better than that of OPC. The combination of mineral admixtures improved the later strength, water impermeability, and sulfate resistance compared with OPC and SSP2. The compressive strength of SSPFA (SSP and SF) at 90 days reached 70.3 MPa. The results of X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron microscopy indicated that SSP played a synergistic role with FA or SF to improve the performance of cement mortar.

Maximum Compressive Strength

The influence of admixture of super-fine limestone powder and low-quality fly ash in different proportions on the fluidity and strength of cement mortar is studied. The test results show that the mortar fluidity increases with the increase of the super-fine limestone powder (the mixing amount of fly ash reduces), and the strength of cement mortar can improve when limestone powder and low-quality fly ash are combined admixed to a certain ratio. The maximum flexural strength of the 28d mortar is 9.8MPa and its maximum compressive strength is 42.2MPa, and at this time, the limestone powder accounts for 33.3% of the mineral admixtures. However, when the mixing amount of super-fine limestone powder is over a certain range, the strength of 28d cement mortar will reduce.

To solve the problem of environmental pollution caused by the accumulation of granite powder and the shortage of traditional mineral admixtures, the influence of the amount of granite powder on the mechanical properties of concrete was studied by replacing cement with different amount of granite powder Different amount of granite powder can be used to prepare concrete with satisfactory performance. When the amount of granite powder is small (not more than 5%), granite powder will not reduce the compressive strength of concrete, or even slightly improve the compressive strength of pure cement concrete. When the amount of granite powder is more than 5%, the compressive strength of concrete will gradually decrease; when the amount of granite powder is more than 5%, the compressive strength of concrete will gradually decrease. The elastic modulus of concrete decreased, and the electric flux increased with the increase of the amount of admixture.

Water requirement of normal consistency, setting time and soundness of cement pastes mixed with SiO2 and CaCO3 nanoparticle and the flexural strength and compressive strength of cement mortars mixed with SiO2 and CaCO3 nanoparticles were experimentally studied. Results indicated that the added nano-SiO2 and nano-CaCO3 with a mass account of 4.0 wt. % decreased the setting time and increased the water requirement of normal consistency, flexural strength and compressive strength. And these nanoscaled mineral admixtures did not have a negative impact on cement soundness. The optimal replacement levels of cement by SiO2 and CaCO3 nanoparticles for producing cement mortar with improved strength were 2.0 and 4.0 wt.% respectively.

In this work, the relationships between the mechanical properties (i.e., compressive strength and flexural strength) and loading speed of polypropylene fiber (PPF)-incorporated cement mortar at different ages (before 28 days) were studied. A total of 162 cubic samples for compressive strength tests and 162 cuboid samples for flexural strength tests were casted and tested. Analytical relationships between the sample properties (i.e., sample age, PPF content, and loading speed) and compressive and flexural strength were proposed based on the experimental data, respectively. Of the predicted compressive and flexural strength results, 70.4% and 75.9% showed less than 15% relative error compared with the experimental results, respectively.

The Relationship

Many investigations have been conducted on compressive strength of lightweight aggregate concretes (LWAC), but there are few experimental studies on the relationship between compressive strength, bond strength and elastic modulus of LWAC. In this paper, the specimens of twenty kinds of LWACs with different mix proportions were made. Properties of compressive strength, bond strength and modulus of elasticity of the LWACs were tested. Based on the testing resulting, equations for relationship between bond strength and compressive strength of the LWAC were established. For LWAC modulus of elasticity, the experimental results of this study can fit well with predicted equation of ACI 318

Emission Method

The paper describes an experiment focused on observing the development of the elastic modulus and compressive strength in a polymer-cement mortar during the first 28 days of aging. The specimens (aged 3 and 28 days) were tested for the static and dynamic modulus of elasticity using two methods – the ultrasonic pulse velocity test and the resonance method. During the test of the modulus of elasticity in compression the mortar’s behaviour was also examined by means of the acoustic emission method, which is based on the recording of mechanical pulses caused by dilation waves generated by microcracks that form during loading. The outcome of the experiment is an evaluation of the polymer-cement mortar’s behaviour in terms of the development of its elastic modulus and compressive strength as well as in terms of the material’s acoustic response during loading.
