To obtain high-quality concrete constructions it is not enough to execute it only in concrete of high class. One of the effective ways to improve the reliability and durability of concrete is its reinforcing by various kinds of fibers. The article presents the researching results of the influence of brands of portland cement and disperse reinforcing by polyethylene terephthalate fibers (PET-fiber) on concrete durability. Standard compression tests of the cubical prototypes of fine-grained sand concrete made of two brands of portland cement – PC400 and PC500 with different percentage of PET-fibers have been conducted. The optimum content of PET-fiber, wherein there is a maximum increase of durability of fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete, has been set.

The paper is focused on the model of the effect of delayed chloride exposure on the chloride induced corrosion initiation on ideal reinforced concrete bridge. The Finite Element-based numerical model is applied. The effect of concrete quality is expressed in the form of time dependent diffusion coefficient in order to evaluate the effect of concrete type as well as the effect of aging. The influence of extended chloride exposure on the corrosion initiation is introduced.

Frost resistance research is one of the important subject of concrete durability, however strength criteria is an important part of the study of mechanical behavior of concrete. So far, about concrete failure criteria are almost for normal concrete, which the domestic and overseas scholars have comparative detailed research in every respect to it, and to freeze-thaw damage of concrete but few research. Based on the summary of the existing ordinary concrete strength and failure criteria in normal state and after freeze-thaw damage,this paper have a brief comment of failure criteria on concrete after freeze-thaw damage. For later research about concrete strength and failure criteria under freezing and thawing cycle provide the reference.

One of the most important problem of concrete durability is increasing of waterproofing. Researches are devoted studying of cement mortars modified by carbon nanotubes, dispersed in plasticizers solutions. Were investigated physico-mechanical properties of cement paste, cement-sand mortar into which structure entered untreated carbon nanotubes (production of plant TM "Spetsmash" Kyiv, Ukraine) in various quantity. Were used as plasticizers in cement compositions additives substances of the various chemical nature – naphtaleneformaldehyde, melamineformaldehyde and polycarboxylate. Quantity of untreated nanotubes varied from 0,5%; 1,0% and to 1,5%. Concentration of additives was accepted taking into account recommendations of producers and made about 1% from the weight of cement. Were studied some technological processes of introduction untreated carbon nanotubes in cement system and is shown that the way of introduction of nanomodifiers has essential impact on strength characteristics of cementitious materials. Optimum decision introduction of untreated carbon nanotubes is using its in dispersion plasticizer of the working concentration prepared in an ultrasonic dispergator is established. Results of physico-mechanical tests of cement paste and cement-sand mortar showed positive influence at introduction of untreated carbon nanotubes as cement modifiers on strength characteristics of samples. Resalts is shown that the nanomodifier, used quantity about 1% in solution of lignosulfonate with polycarboxylate and melamineformaldehyde plasticizer has great impact on strength characteristics.

With regards to the quality problem of concrete that cant be found out earlier in the quality control, this paper discussed the principle to rapidly detect composition of concrete mixture and analyzed the measurement accuracy of water checker for fresh concrete through laboratory test. Experiments showed that the error in unit cement and unit water measured by instruments is relatively small and able to meet the accuracy requirements. And, the application of rapid detection techniques to the concrete quality control in practical engineering has achieved good results.

The effect of penetrating sealer on the structure of surface pore, mechanical properties, and durability of cement-based composites was studied. Concrete specimens with various water/cement ratios (w/c=0.35, 0.45, 0.55) were cast and treated surfaced with various amounts of penetrating sealer at different ages. The effect of penetrating sealer on the mechanical properties of concrete was assessed by compressive strength. And, the rapid chloride permeability was also explored to test concrete durability. Test results indicate that the application of penetrating sealer significantly improves concrete compressive strength and chloride resistance. By using scanning electron microscopes observation, the penetrating depth of penetrating sealer can be determined and is about 2 cm. The penetrating sealer in this study may be categorized as deep penetrating sealer.

The durability of the concrete in underground and marine engineering is affected by the underground and ocean environment. Chloride diffusion coefficient under hydrostatic pressure is a key parameter of concrete durability design under corresponding conditions. Therefore, this paper studies the diffusion behavior of chloride in different diffusion source solutions by experiment and simulation. Based on the experimental results, this paper proposes a new chloride diffusion model under the coupling effect of diffusion and convection. The interaction of ions and compounds in the diffusion source solutions, concrete pore fluid, and concrete material are considered in the new chloride diffusion model. The experimental results show that chloride diffusion rate is significantly affected by hydrostatic pressure, which increases with the increase of hydrostatic pressure. The chloride diffusion coefficient shows a certain difference in difference diffusion source solutions. The chloride diffusion coefficient in divalent cationic diffusion source solutions is the largest, the chloride diffusion coefficient in the divalent and monovalent cationic compound ones is in the middle, and the chloride diffusion coefficient in the monovalent cationic ones is the smallest. There is a linear relationship between the chloride diffusion coefficient and the hydrostatic pressure whether in single or combined cationic diffusion source solutions.
