The neutralization of fly ash concrete under loads subjected to the simultaneous attack of acid rain was investigated in this paper. And the influence of stress level and fly ash replacement on neutralization of fly ash concrete was analyzed. It was found that, the bending tensile stress accelerated the acid rain attack. The higher the stress level, the more serious the concrete corrosion. In contrast, the bending compressive stress slowed down the acid rain attack. The results also showed that the neutralization depth of fly ash concrete was increasing and concrete corrosion attacked by acid rain was more serious as the fly ash replacement increased.

As the deterioration of environment, the effect of acid rain on concrete structures is even more serious. The durability problems caused by acid rain are increasingly concerned by the worldwide. In this paper, the method to simulating acid rain solution in laboratory is proposed and the cyclic soaking-drying to accelerate the acid rain attack is introduced on the basis of the survey and analysis on the components of acid rain around China. Considering that the majority of concrete structures are actually under loads, the load devices for durability test are analyzed, and the devices suitable for the multi-factor durability tests are adopted. The above works will be helpful to carry out the neutralization tests and establish the predicting model of neutralization depth for fly ash concrete.

Based on the theory of diffusion and mass transfer, a theoretical neutralization model for fly ash concrete eroded by acid rain was proposed. The values of the model parameters were studied, and the calculation formula of effective diffusion coefficient DA was established considering both material and environmental aspects. The model was verified by acid rain erosion test results, and the results calculated by the model agree well with test results. The model proposed in this paper can be used to predict neutralization depth of fly ash concrete subjected to acid rain attack.

In order to evaluate the deterioration regularity for the mechanical properties of brick masonry due to acid rain corrosion, a series of mechanical property tests for mortars, bricks, shear prisms, and compressive prisms after acid rain corrosion were conducted. The apparent morphology and the compressive strength of the masonry materials (cement mortar, cement-lime mortar, cement-fly ash mortar, and brick), the shear behavior of the masonry, and the compression behavior of the masonry were analyzed. The resistance of acid rain corrosion for the cement-lime mortar prisms was the worst, and the incorporation of fly ash into the cement mortar did not improve the acid rain corrosion resistance. The effect of the acid rain corrosion damage on the mechanical properties for the brick was significant. With an increasing number of acid rain corrosion cycles, the compressive strength of the mortar prisms, and the shear and compressive strengths of the brick masonry first increased and then decreased. The peak stress first increased and then decreased whereas the peak strain gradually increased. The slope of the stress-strain curve for the compression prisms gradually decreased. Furthermore, a mathematical degradation model for the compressive strength of the masonry material (cement mortar, cement-lime mortar, cement-fly ash mortar, and brick), as well as the shear strength attenuation model and the compressive strength attenuation model of brick masonry after acid rain corrosion were proposed.
