This study investigated the influence of nanokaolin content on the behavior of cement mortar at various curing ages. The fluidity, chloride permeability, bending and compressive strength of cement mortar with various nanokaolin additives were examined. The addition of 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and 6% nanokaolin were taken into consideration. The results showed that the addition of nanokaolin decreases the fluidity of cement mortar, and the fluidity the cement mortar decreases with the increase of nanokaolin additives. It is obtained that the addition of nanokaolin increases both the bending and compressive strength of cement mortar, and with the increase of nanokaolin additives, the bending and compressive strength of cement mortar increase. The addition of 4% nanokaolin can result in a significant low chloride permeability of cement mortar among the seven dosages. The chloride diffusion coefficient of the mortar with the addition of 4% nanokaolin was decreased by 18.93%, 12.68% and 31.05% at 7, 14 and 28 curing days, respectively.

This study investigated the effective chloride diffusion coefficient of cement mortar with different water-to-cement ratio (w/c) under electrical accelerated migration measurement. The cumulative chloride concentration in anode cell solution and the cumulative chloride concentration drop in the cathode cell solution was measured by RCT measurement and the results were further used to calculate the chloride diffusion coefficient by Nordtest Build 355 method and Truc method. The influence of w/c on cement mortar’s chloride coefficient was investigated and the chloride diffusion coefficient under different determination methods were compared with other researchers’ work, a good consistency between this work’s results and literatures’ results was obtained. The results indicated that the increased w/c of cement mortar samples will have a higher chloride diffusion coefficient. The cumulative chloride concentration drop in the cathode cell solution will have deviation in early stage measurement (before 60 h) which will result in overestimation of the effective chloride diffusion coefficient.

Parent concrete coming from a wide range of sources can result in considerable differences in the properties of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). In this study, the RCAs were obtained by crushing the parent concrete with water-to-cement ratios (W/Cparent) of 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6, respectively, and were strengthened by carbonation and nano-silica slurry wrapping methods. It was found that when W/Cparen was 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, respectively, compared with the mortar in the untreated RCA, the capillary porosity of the mortar in the carbonated RCA decreased by 19%, 16% and 30%, respectively; the compressive strength of concrete containing the carbonated RCA increased by 13%, 11% and 13%, respectively; the chloride diffusion coefficient of RAC (DRAC) containing the nano-SiO2 slurry-treated RCA decreased by 17%, 16% and 11%; and that of RAC containing the carbonated RCA decreased by 21%, 25% and 26%, respectively. Regardless of being strengthened or not, both DRAC and porosity of old mortar in RCAs increased with increasing W/Cparent. For different types of RCAs, DRAC increased obviously with increasing water absorption of RCA. Finally, a theoretical model of DRAC considering the water absorption of RCA was established and verified by experiments, which can be used to predict the DRAC under the influence of different factors, especially the water absorption of RCA.

The mixing proportions of concrete were examined with regard to the durability performance and early strength in coastal areas. Research was conducted to improve the C24 mix (characteristic strength of 24 MPa). C35 concrete (characteristic strength of 35 MPa) was selected as a comparison group, as it exhibits the minimum proposed strength criterion for concrete in the marine environment. To secure the early strength of the C24 concrete, 50% of the total ordinary Portland cement (OPC) binder was replaced with early Portland cement (EPC); and to provide durability, 20% was substituted with ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS). In addition, a polycarboxylate (PC)-based superplasticizer was used to reduce the unit water content. The compressive strength, chloride ion diffusion coefficient, chloride penetration depth, and pore structure were evaluated. After one day, the compressive strength improved by 40% when using EPC and GGBS, and an average increase of 20% was observed over 91 days. EPC and GGBS also reduced the overall porosity, which may increase the watertightness of concrete. The salt resistance performance was improved because the rapid early development of strength increased the watertightness of the surface and immobilization of chloride ions, decreasing the chloride diffusion coefficient by 50%.

Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement is the main cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures in marine environments. The penetration of chlodride ions into concrete cover that accelerates corrosion process of steel reinforcement, this affects the bearing capacity of structures. This paper investigates on chloride permeability cheracteristic of concrete using blast furnace slag in terms of chloride diffusion coefficient and chloride binding capacity. The concrete used in this research has grade of 45MPa and the slag content replacement of cement PC50 is in range of 0% - 70%. The chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete is determined by ASTM C1202 and NordTest NT Build 492. Results showed that the blast furnace slag replacement increases (from 0% to 50%), the chloride ion diffusion coeffient decreases and bound chloride content in concrete increases. It is clear to conclude that blast furnace slag can be used to replace cement PC50 in range of 30% to 40% in order to increase the resistance of concrete to chloride penetration without affecting concrete strength.

A new non-cement blended materials is developed as a full replacement of cement without alkali activator. This study was conducted to explore a suitable method for activating new ternary green materials with desulfurization gypsum, water-quenched blast-furnace slag and co-fired fly ash from circulating fluidized bed combustion as non-cement inorganic binder. Test subject was included flowability, compressive strength, absorption, total charge-passed from rapid chloride permeability test, chloride diffusion coefficient from accelerated chloride migration test and SEM observation. Test results indicate that a ternary mixture containing 1% desulfurization gypsum, 60% water-quenched blast-furnace slag and 39% co-fired fly ash was a suitable development in compressive strength. The new non-cement blended materials were performed a well compressive strength, lower absorption, and lower chloride diffusion coefficient. In addition, the compressive strength decreased as the inclusion of desulfurization gypsum increased. It was concluded that using desulfurization gypsum alone decreased the setting time and compressive strength. SEM micrographs were verified the development in compressive strength originated from the C-S-H and C-A-S-H gel produced by Ca(OH)2, SiO2, and Al2O3.

Based on orthogonal array testing strategy (OATS), the effects of sand-binder ratio (S/B), water-binder ratio (W/B), and the ratio of steel fiber volume to reactive powder concrete (RPC) volume (STF/R) on the compressive strength and chloride diffusion coefficient of RPC were investigated using an artificial neural network method. Research results reveal that the compressive strength of RPC approaches summit when STF/R is 2% or W/B is 0.18-0.2%, and decreases with the increasing of S/B. Furthermore, the chloride diffusion coefficient increases with W/B or STF/R and decreases with S/B.

In this paper, the influence of conventional triaxial compression on damage and chloride ion penetration of cement mortar are investigated. Conventional triaxial compression experiment was carried out with confining loading of 10Mpa. And the stress-strain curve was measured when axial stress was 50%, 80% and 100% of peak axial loading, and 80% axial loading post-maximum. Then the damaged cement mortars was stored in Qingdao sea water for 30 days, and the free chloride content as well as chloride diffusion coefficient of damaged mortars were quantitatively determined. The experimental results show that the cement mortar is compacted in the end, and shear damaged in the middle under conventional triaxial compression. Compared to cement mortar under uniaxial compression, its compressive strength and axial deformation increases by 1.94 times and 5.6 times when cement mortar under conventional triaxial compression. When the axial stress is less than 48% of peak axial loading, and the axial deformation is less than 0.63mm, the mortar is compacted and its relative dynamic elastic modulus increases with raising axial loading and deformation. The free chloride content in the pressure-bearing side is higher than that in the bottom side. And the free chloride content in the interior of mortar increases with raising axial loading. The chloride diffusion coefficient and axial loading are related in quadratic function. When the axial deformation of mortar is higher than 0.72mm and 1.57mm, the chloride diffusion coefficient of non-load mortar, is less than that of loaded mortar in the pressure-bearing side, and in the bottom side, respectively.
