Experimental research on the frost resistance of recycled high performance concrete (RHPC) was carried out, in which three kinds of replacements were considered including recycled coarse or fine aggregate to natural coarse or fine aggregate and together. The results showed that RHPC had the lower dynamic modulus and mass loss than natural aggregate concrete when the replacement of recycled coarse or fine aggregate ranged 30-70% or 10-50%. The best frost resistance of RHPC appeared to the simultaneous replacements of 50% and 10% for recycled coarse and fine aggregate.

High performance concrete (HPC) with a water/cement ratio (w/c) of 0.32 and different lightweight aggregate (LWA) contents (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) were prepared, and the influence of LWA on concrete frost-resistance and impermeability at different ages were studied, as well as the hydration degree, hydrated product, pattern and pore structure of the paste around aggregate. The results show that, by replacing normal weight aggregate (NWA) with 50% and 100% volume contents of pre-wetted LWA respectively, the chemical bound water of the cement paste surrounding aggregate are increased 12.1% and 22.7% as compared to concrete mixed without LWA. And at 28 days, lightweight aggregate concrete has the highest Ca(OH)2 content, whereas the 90-day Ca(OH)2 content of normal weight concrete is the highest. This proves that, with the increase of LWA content in concrete, both of the internal curing effect of pre-wetted LWA and secondary hydration effect of fly ash (FA) are strengthened, this can also be verified by the SEM study. Furthermore, the pore structure of the cement paste around aggregate can be improved consequently. The performance of frost-resistance of HPC can be improved by mixing LWA, the 90 day-frost-resistance of lightweight aggregate concrete is about 2.5 times of that of concrete mixed without LWA. The influence of LWA on the impermeability of HPC is different from normal concrete. When LWA content is more than 50%, the HPC impermeability decreased obviously, however at later age the difference between them becomes minor.

Better Than

The present study looks for the feasibility of preparing UHPC with iron ore tailings (IOT for short) as fine aggregate. To enhance outstanding high performances, some influences on UHPC mortars were investigated such as different kinds of sands, different mix ratio of sands, and different largest particle size of fine aggregate. The results show that IOT have negligible poorer aggregate performance than silica sands but better than river sands. The strength of UHPC reaches the highest point when silica sands were instead 60% by IOT. As the largest particle size of fine aggregate is decreasing, the strength and frost resistance of UHPC were improved, but the liquidity was decreased. Micropowder of IOT affects the strength and the optimal content was 4%.

Freeze Thaw

The purpose of this study is to investigate the freeze-thaw resistance, one of the most important durability indicators, of high-performance concrete made of fibers (nylon and polypropylene), AE agent, viscosity agent, and fly ash, an industrial by-product. While FN-1 showed the best freeze-thaw resistance with an about 2.8% relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, PV-2 showed the worst results, with an about 7.4% modulus, in comparison tests with GC. Most of the test samples showed better compressive strength than GC. Especially, N-1 showed the greatest compressive strength increase of 8%. Also, the test samples mixed with FA and PP showed a 2-4% compressive strength increase effect.

The influence of recycled aggregates on the frost resistance of concrete was studied by rapid freezing-thawing test. Results showed that there was an important effect of aggregate gradation on frost resistance of recycled coarse aggregate concrete. Frost resistance of recycled fine aggregate concrete was deteriorated with increasing the content of recycled fine aggregate, and recycled fine aggregate had a greater influence on the frost resistance of recycled aggregate concrete than recycled coarse aggregate when adding both together. Test showed that the mass loss rate and the relative dynamic elastic modulus loss are not consistent as evaluation indexes of the frost resistance for recycled concrete, and whether the mass loss rate is suitable as an indicator of frost resistance durability needs to be further studied.

Effect Of Copper

This paper investigates the fresh and durability properties of the high-performance concrete by replacing cement with 15% Silica fume and simultaneously replacing fine aggregates with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% copper slag at w/b ratio of 0.23. Five mixes were analysed and compared with the standard concrete mix. Fresh properties show an increase in the slump with the increase in the quantity of copper slag to the mix. Sorptivity, chloride penetration, UPV and carbonation results were very encouraging at 50% copper slag replacement levels. Microstructure analysis of these mixes shows the emergence of C-S-H gel for nearly all mixes indicating densification of the interfacial transition zone of the concrete.

Factors Influencing

Abstract Variable obsen>ations concerning frost resistance of high performance concrete have been made. The question arises which are the decisive factors influencing durability under the action of frost and de-icing salt. The proposed experiments are to be carried out in cooperation with F.A.- Finger - Institute of Bauhaus University Weimar. The aim of this study is to determine possible change of durability of high strength concrete, and to investigate the origin thereof. Measures to reduce the risk of reduced durability have to be found.

Ultra High Performance Concrete

AbstractThis study aimed to determine the abrasion resistance of ultra-high-performance concretes (UHPCs) for railway sleepers. Test samples were made with different cementitious material combinations and varying steel fiber contents and shapes, using conventional fine aggregate. A total of 25 UHPCs and two high-strength concretes (HSCs) were selected to evaluate their depth of wear and bulk properties. The results of the coefficient of variation (CV), relative gain in abrasion, and abrasion index of the studied UHPCs were also obtained and discussed. Furthermore, a comparison was made on the resistance to wear of the selected UHPCs with those of the HSCs typically used for prestressed concrete sleepers. The outcomes of this study revealed that UHPCs displayed excellent resistance against abrasion, well above that of HSCs. Amongst the utilized cementitious material combinations, UHPCs made with silica fume as a partial replacement of cement performed best against abrasion, whereas mixtures containing fly ash showed the highest depth of wear. The addition of steel fibers had a more positive influence on the abrasion resistance than it did on compressive strength of the studied UHPCs.
