First Case

This paper focuses on the experimental determination of the shrinkage process in Self-Compacting High-Performance Concrete (SCC HPC) exposed to dry air and autogenous conditions. Special molds with dimensions of 100 mm × 60 mm × 1000 mm and 50 mm × 50 mm × 300 mm equipped with one movable head are used for the measurement. The main aim of this study is to compare the shrinkage curves of SCC HPC, which were obtained by using different measurement devices and for specimens of different sizes. In addition, two different times t0 are considered for the data evaluation to investigate the influence of this factor on the absolute value of shrinkage. In the first case, t0 is the time of the start of measurement, in the second case, t0 is the setting time. The early-shrinkage (48 h) is continuously measured using inductive sensors leant against the movable head and with strain gauges embedded inside the test specimen. To monitor the long term shrinkage, the specimens are equipped with special markers, embedded into the specimens’ upper surface or ends. These markers serve as measurement bases for the measurement using mechanical strain gauges. The test specimens are demolded after 48 h and the long term shrinkage is monitored using the embedded strain gauges (inside the specimens) and mechanical strain gauges that are placed, in regular intervals, onto the markers embedded into the specimens’ surface or ends. The results show that both types of measurement equipment give a similar result in the case of early age measurement, especially for the specimens cured under autogenous conditions. However, the early age and especially long term measurement are influenced by the position of the measurement sensors, particularly in the case of specimens cured under dry air conditions. It was proven that the time t0 have a fundamental influence on the final values of the shrinkage of investigated SCC HPC and have a significant impact on the conclusions on the size effect.

The compressive strength of silica fume concretes was investigated at low water-cementitious materials ratios with a naphthalene sulphonate superplasticizer. The results show that partial cement replacement up to 20% produce, higher compressive strengths than control concretes, nevertheless the strength gain is less than 15%. In this paper we propose a model to evaluate the compressive strength of silica fume concrete at any time. The model is related to the water-cementitious materials and silica-cement ratios. Taking into account the author's and other researchers’ experimental data, the accuracy of the proposed model is better than 5%.

The cement-silica fume blended pastes were prepared with different silica fume (SF) dosages of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% at different water-binder ratios (W/B) of 0.4 and 0.5. The autogenous shrinkage (AS) and the drying shrinkage (DS) of the paste samples in the hydration period of 7d (168 hours) were measured by a new measurement technique to explore the influence of W/B and silica fume incorporation on the shrinkage in early age. The study results can provide reference for high performance concrete mix design.It is found that ether the AS or the DS of the paste samples shows a similar pattern, and the AS development with hydration time appeared a temporary expansion period after a rapid growth, especially in the samples at a higher W/B or with a lower SF content. However, the DS development did not occur obvious expansion period.Three development trends were obtained for the factors of W/B and SF content. 1) the AS and DS of the pastes mainly occurred in early ages. The lower W/B, the shorter the rapid growth periods, and the higher the shrinkage ratio of 1d to 7d. For the pastes with W/B of 0.4, the AS grew rapidly in 1d and the DS grew rapidly in the first 10h, and the AS value in 1d reached to 63.6% of 7d, and the DS value reached to 62.1% of 7d in the paste with SF of 10%. For the pastes with W/B of 0.5, the rapid growth periods of the AS and DS respectively extended to 30~33h and 12h, and the AS value in 1d reached to 60.0% of 7d, and the DS value reached to 57.2% of 7d in the paste with SF of 10%. 2) The lower W/B, the higher the shrinkage ratio of the AS to the DS. When the SF dosage is 10%, the ratio of the AS value to the DS value of 7d is 21.66%~21.15% for W/B of 0.4, and only 6.06%~5.78% for the W/B of 0.5. 3) the higher SF content results in the higher AS in cement-SF blended pastes. For the pastes with W/B of 0.4, the ratio of the AS to the DS increased from 6.98% to 30.16% with the increase of content of SF from 5% to 15% in 1d, from 15.1% to 28.19% in 3d, from 16.78% to 26.16% in 7d.

Iron Ore Tailing

In this research, iron ore tailing (IOT) is utilized as the cementitious material to develop an eco-friendly ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The UHPC mix is obtained according to the modified Andreasen and Andersen (MAA) packing model, and the applied dosage of IOT is 10%, 20%, and 30% (by weight), respectively. The calculated packing density of different mixtures is consistent with each other. Afterwards, the fresh and hardened performance of UHPC mixtures with IOT are evaluated. The results demonstrate that the workability of designed UHPC mixtures is increased with the incorporation of IOT. The heat flow at an early age of designed UHPC with IOT is attenuated, the compressive strength and auto shrinkage at an early age are consequently reduced. The addition of IOT promotes the development of long-term compressive strength and optimization of the pore structure, thus the durability of designed UHPC is still guaranteed. In addition, the ecological estimate results show that the utilization of IOT for the UHPC design can reduce the carbon emission significantly.

Offshore Wind Turbines

With the increasing importance of offshore wind turbines, a critical issue in their construction is the high-performance concrete (HPC) used for grouting underwater foundations, as such materials must be better able to withstand the extremes of the surrounding natural environment. This study produced and tested 12 concrete sample types by varying the water/binder ratio (0.28 and 0.30), the replacement ratios for fly ash (0%, 10%, and 20%) and silica fume (0% and 10%), as substitutes for cement, with ground granulated blast-furnace slag at a fixed proportion of 30%. The workability of fresh HPC is discussed with setting time, slump, and V-funnel flow properties. The hardened mechanical properties of the samples were tested at 1, 7, 28, 56, and 91 days, and durability tests were performed at 28, 56, and 91 days. Our results show that both fly ash (at 20%) and silica fume (at 10%) are required for effective filling of interstices and better pozzolanic reactions over time to produce HPC that is durable enough to withstand acid sulfate and chloride ion attacks, and we recommend this admixture for the best proportioning of HPC suitable for constructing offshore wind turbine foundations under the harsh underwater conditions of the Taiwan Bank. We established a model to predict a durability parameter (i.e., chloride permeability) of a sample using another mechanical property (i.e., compressive strength), or vice versa, using the observable relationship between them. This concept can be generalized to other pairs of parameters and across different parametric categories, and the regression model will make future experiments less laborious and time-consuming.

To study the effect of fly ash, mineral powder, and silica fume on the working performance and mechanical properties of C70 high-performance concrete by adding the same amount of fly ash, granulated blast furnace slag powder, and silica fume as a composite admixture to replace the amount of cement. Influencing the law, at the same time, the optimal dosage ratio of various admixtures is determined through the orthogonal experiment. The results show that: when adding 6% silica fume, it can improve the performance of high-performance concrete. When the amount is increased, the viscosity of the concrete increases and the fluidity decreases. Incorporating an appropriate amount of silica fume can greatly increase the compressive strength of concrete. When blended with fly ash in the proportion of 20%, the performance of high-performance concrete is better. When the same amount of fly ash replaces cement, fly ash reduces hydration and improves the cohesion of concrete, 7d, 28d the compressive strength of the cube increases significantly. Adding 10% mineral powder, mineral powder can affect the early compressive strength of highperformance concrete, extend the setting time of concrete, and improve the pumping capacity of concrete.

Good Workability

The preparation of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) with both high-early-strength and good workability contributes to further promotion of its development and application. This study investigated the effects of different accelerators (SM, alkaline powder accelerator; SF, alkaline powder accelerator containing fluorine; and AF, alkali-free liquid accelerator containing fluorine) on the workability and strength properties of UHPC. The microstructure of UHPC was also characterized by using XRD and SEM. Several dosage levels of accelerators (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% by mass) were selected. The results indicate that the setting time and fluidity of UHPC are gradually decreased with an increase in accelerators dosage. Compared with fluorine-containing SF/AF, fluorine-free SM evidently facilitates UHPC early strength gain speed. However, the fluorine-containing accelerators have a higher 28 d strength ratio, especially AF. The maximum compressive and flexural strength ratios are obtained at a dosage of 6%, which are 95.5% and 98.3%, respectively. XRD and SEM tests further reveal the effect of different accelerators on the macroscopic properties of UHPC from the micro level.

Plastic Stage

Effect of plastic stage curing on long-term properties of high performance concrete (HPC) was studied, thereafter, the mechanism is also analyzed. Results showed that compared to compressive strength, the permeability of surface concrete (especially for silica fume concrete) was more sensitive to plastic stage curing, and deteriorations due to insufficient plastic stage curing cant be eliminated by later longer time of wet curing. Furthermore, the deterioration of pore structure and formation of microcracks were main reasons for insufficient plastic stage curing that affected properties of concrete.
