This research focuses on investigating the high performance concrete durability containing slag with different fineness and dosage. For this purpose, the 28-day compressive strength, chloride ion penetration, and frost resistance were investigated, with slag surface area 420m2/kg, 530m2/kg, 610m2/kg, and 720m2/kg, and replacement percentage 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60%, respectively. It was found that chloride ion penetration resistance were affected by the fineness and dosage of slag, and concrete frost resistance property was mainly controlled by dosage of slag rather than the fineness, and the 28-day compressive strength increased with slag incorporation.

This research focuses on investigating the high performance concrete containing slag with different fineness and dosage. For this purpose, the workability, compressive strength at different ages, and chloride ion penetration were investigated, with slag surface area 420m2/kg, 530m2/kg, 610m2/kg, and 720m2/kg, and replacement percentage 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60%, respectively. It was found that the workability and chloride ion penetration resistance were affected by the fineness and dosage of slag. The 7-day compressive strength decreased with slag replacement increasing when the fineness of slag is lower than 530m2/kg, and 28-day and 56-day compressive strength increased; For the fineness higher than 530m2/kg, the 7-day compressive strength is higher than that of control concrete, when the slag replacement was 40%, the concrete reached the highest value, and the 28-day and 56-day compressive strength increased with slag incorporation.

Silica fume (SF) has become an environmental mineral admixture in the production of high-strength and high-performance concrete in modern concrete engineering. Through compacting all components and pozzolanic reaction, obvious mechanical enhancement of concrete is observed in the aspects of compressive strength tensile strength, elastic modulus as well as fracture toughness. Further more, durability improvement of silica fume concrete such as chloride-ion penetration resistance and chemical attack resistance are reported accordingly.

Ion Penetration

Taking bridge pile of high speed railway as background, resistance to chloride ion penetration of high performance concrete is studied. Theoretical analysis and experimental research of chloride ion penetration are carried out for double-doped mineral (fly ash and slag powder) concrete, C35 single mineral and preservative double-doped concrete, and C35 two kinds of minerals and preservative composite concrete. In addition, the test results are compared and analyzed. Study results show: chloride ion penetration grade of double-doped mineral concrete (C35, C40, C45 and C50) is very low. Resistances to chloride ion penetration of C35 single mineral and preservative double-doped concrete are all poor overall, so the scheme is infeasible. By performance comparison of resistance to chloride ion penetration, C35 two kinds of minerals and solid preservative composite concrete is obviously better than C35 two kinds of minerals and liquid preservative composite concrete , meanwhile obviously better than C35 double-doped mineral concrete, and very close to C50 double-doped mineral concrete. And, it can meet resistance to chloride ion penetration requirement under the corrosion environments along the high speed railway line and can be used as high performance concrete to resist chloride salt.

This paper reports the results of an investigation of chloride ion penetration and diffusion for high performance concrete. Concrete was prepared incorporating pulverised fuel ash (PFA) and silica fume (SF) with various water-binder ratios. Chloride ion penetration was measured at various ages using rapid chloride permeability test in accordance with ASTM C1202-91. Based on experimentally obtained results, isoresponse contours for chloride permeability were developed showing the interactive and optimized effect between the various parameters investigated. Diffusion coefficient of concrete was determined applying Fick’s law of diffusion. The results show that the inclusion of PFA and SF reduced both chloride permeability and chloride concentration of concrete. It was found that rapid chloride permeability values were consistent with diffusion coefficient of concrete.

This study evaluated the performance of latex-modified fiber-reinforced concrete (RC) segments as a function of the substitution level of microsilica and type of reinforced fiber, to address the problem of corrosion of steel segments and steel-reinforced fiber segments, which are commonly used to shield tunnel-boring machine (TBM) tunnels in urban spaces. Our study compared macro synthetic, steel, and hybrid (macro synthetic fiber + polypropylene fiber) reinforcing fibers. The substitution levels of microsilica used were 0, 2, 4, and 6%. The target strengths were set at 40 and 60 MPa to test compressive strength, flexural strength, chloride ion penetration resistance, and impact resistance. Testing of latex-modified and fiber-reinforced segment concrete showed that the compressive strength, flexural strength, and chloride ion penetration resistance increased with an increasing substitution level of microsilica. These improvements were attributed to the densification of the concrete due to filling micropores with microsilica. Micro synthetic fiber was more effective in terms of improved compressive strength, flexural strength, and chloride ion penetration resistance than steel fiber. These results were due to the higher number of micro synthetic fibers per unit volume compared with steel fiber, which reduced the void volume and suppressed the development of internal cracks. The optimal microsilica content and fiber volume fraction of micro synthetic fiber were 6% and 1%, respectively. To evaluate the effects of the selected mixtures and hybrid fibers simultaneously, other mixing variables were fixed and a hybrid fiber mixture (combination of macro synthetic fibers and polypropylene fibers) was used. The hybrid fiber mixture produced better compressive strength, flexural strength, chloride ion penetration resistance, and impact resistance than the micro synthetic fibers.
