The performance with regard to chloride penetration of specimens made with three base compositions (supplementary cementitious materials: 20% fly ash, 20% fly ash + 8% silica fume, and 50% slag replacement by weight of cement), and water-to-cementitious ratios of 0.35, 0.41, or 0.47 were investigated here. In this investigation, laboratory experiments were carried out to study the correlation between electrical resistivity and non-steady state chloride ion migration coefficients (Dnssm) of concrete. NT Build 492 was used to determine chloride migration coefficients. Rapid migration tests and resistivity measurements were performed several times over two years, and the non-steady state migration coefficient (Dnssm) vs. resistivity values were correlated. Experimental results show that a good correlation was found between electrical resistivity and Dnssm. Based on the relationships developed from this investigation, it appears that the correlations are age and composition dependent.

The hydration degree of binders and cement is investigated by measuring the adiabatic- temperature rise of concrete at low water-binder ratio with different fly-ash content. The results denote that, with a constant water-binder ratio, both of the hydration degree of binders and that of cement decrease with the increasing fly-ash content in the early stage. In a later stage, however, the hydration degree of cement increases with the increasing fly-ash content and the hydration degree of binders peaks when the fly-ash content is 35%. Fly ash is one of the mineral admixture of which high-performance concrete is made up. It brings down the rise of concrete temperature significantly and helps solve the problems of shrinkage and crack of concrete structure. Because the hydration mechanism in common concrete is different from that in concrete with low water-binder ratio, and the hydration environment is different between concrete and cement pastes, to determine the adiabatic-temperature rise of concrete directly conforms to the actual situation. The adiabatic-temperature rise, adiabatic-temperature-rise rate, hydration degree of both binders and cement are investigated by measuring adiabatic-temperature rise of concrete with different fly-ash content.

Cementitious materials are highly susceptible to rapid and severe degradation by a wide range of acids that are found immensely in ground water, sewage systems, industrial effluents, acid rain etc. which may cause microstructure deterioration. The factors influencing acid attack is generally categorised as material related factors and test related factors. Material related factors can be either related to acid solution or concrete mixture composition. Composition of concrete mixture greatly impacts the acid resistance of concrete. Factors related to composition of concrete mixture are type of cement, type and proportion of binders, water binder ratio, aggregate binder ratio and mineralogical nature of the aggregates. Even though the type of cement influences acid attack, the magnitude of variation is negligible. Consumption of calcium hydroxide and refinement of pore structure makes the use of supplementary cementitious materials favourable for acid resistance. Decrease in water binder ratio and increase in aggregate binder ratio reduces the porosity of concrete and thereby improves the acid resistance of concrete. Calcareous aggregates are preferred for concretes exposed to acids having less soluble salts and not preferred for acids forming soluble salts. This paper highlights the influence of composition of concrete mixture on acid resistance of concrete. A proper formulation of concrete is expected to enhance its acid resistance.

Three polycarboxylates with different comb structures (i.e., the same degree of polymerization in side chains but different main chains) were synthesized via radical polymerization reaction at room temperature. The effect of polycarboxylates on the surface tension and the flowability in cement pastes was determined. The best product was selected to study its effects on the hydration heat evolution, compressive strength, autogenous shrinkage, and drying shrinkage of cement pastes with different kinds and contents of supplementary cementitious materials. The results showed that with the increase of molar ratio between AA and TPEG to 6 : 1, we could synthesis the best product. When the water-binder ratio was 0.4, with the increase of polycarboxylates, the cement hydration heat evolution had been slowed down, and the more the dosage was, the more obvious the effect was. Adding supplementary cementitious materials to cement under the same experimental conditions also played a mitigation role in slowing down the hydration heat. When the water-binder ratio was 0.3, supplementary cementitious materials could increase the strength of cement by 24.5% in maximum; its autogenous shrinkage and drying shrinkage could be decreased, respectively, by 60.1% and 21.9% in the lowest.

The effects of blended steel slag-superfine fly ash mineral admixture and ordinary fly ash on the properties of concrete were compared in this study. The results show that, in the case of the same adding amount, blended steel slag-superfine fly ash mineral admixture and ordinary fly ash have similar effects on the early strength and chloride ion permeability of concrete. Blended mineral admixture has higher ability to improve the late strength of concrete than ordinary fly ash. Paste and concrete containing blended mineral admixture have smaller porosities than that containing ordinary fly ash. Blended steel slag-superfine fly ash is an ideal mineral admixture for concrete.

The usage of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM) is very much acknowledged due to the several improvements possible in the concrete composites, and because of the general economy. Research work till date suggests that utilization of SCMs enhance a significant number of the performance characteristics of the hardened concrete. The idea of efficiency can be utilized for comparing the relative performance of different pozzolans when incorporated into concrete. The efficiency concept, which was initially developed for fly ash, can be effortlessly connected to other advantageous s as well, such as silica fume, slag and natural pozzolans. A quantitative understanding of the efficiency of SCMs as a mineral admixture in concrete is essential for its effective utilization. The paper reviews the literature pertaining to the different efficiency concepts and models present to date that evaluates the strength of concretes containing different SCMs. This short survey demonstrates that there is a need for a superior comprehension of the SCMs in concrete for its powerful usage. Also, it is an effort directed towards a specific understanding of the efficiency of SCMs in concrete.

In order to increase freeze-salt scaling resistance of concrete, effect of water-binder ratio, fly ash, slag and silica fume on freeze-salt scaling resistance are researched according to the CDF method. The results show that the scaled mass and the dynamic modulus of elasticity loss rate of the concrete are reduced with decreasement of water-binder ratio. When mineral admixture compound is added into concrete the scaled mass and the dynamic modulus of elasticity loss rate are also reduced. Compared with fly ash and slag the trend is more obvious as result of fume and slag added. The scaled mass and the loss rate of dynamic elasticity modulus are slightly reduced with decreasement of fly ash and slag. But the scaled mass and the loss rate of dynamic elasticity modulus are obviously reduced with increasement of silica fume and slag.

This paper studies the effects of high-volume composite mineral admixture made of limestone powder and low-quality fly ash on the properties of concrete,and studies the form of attack of cement-based material made of limestone powder at low water-binder ratio under low-temperature sulfate environment.Through experiments, this paper makes clear the workability of fresh concrete and analyzes the law of strength development of concrete. The experimental results indicate that the concrete with high-volume limestone powder as composite mineral admixture has good fresh properties; due to low water consumption per unit volume, medium-and-high-strength concrete can be prepared. As new type concrete mineral admixture, the composite mineral admixture made of limestone powder and low-quality fly ash will play an active role in the sustainable development of concrete industry. After the specimen with the water-binder ratio of less than 0.4 and the limestone powder volume of greater than 20% is soaked in 10% magnesium sulfate solution at low temperature at the age of 200d, gypsum attack-led destruction is caused to the concrete test cube, without thaumasite sulfate attack.
