Durability Of Concrete

This study analyzes the pore structure and durability of concrete according to four different ratios of steelmaking slag powder (SSP). Concrete containing SSP increased the formation of gel and capillary pores due to delayed hydration, and the largest cumulative pore volume was observed when the incorporation ratio was 20%. In terms of durability, the incorporation of SSP had decreased performance compared to concrete without SSP (NN), which was due to changes in the pore structure caused by incorporating SSP. In the case of the freezing and thawing resistance, concrete containing 10% SSP showed a remarkable relative dynamic elastic modulus of more than 80%, and a similar carbonation depth was predicted within 15% of SSP. In addition, the resistance performance of chloride ion migration in concrete with SSP was excellent. Accordingly, it can be utilized as a supplementary cementitious material if the freezing and thawing resistance of concrete containing 15% SSP is secured.

Chloride ion penetration and freezing and thawing damage are the two main factors that affect the durability of concrete structures. Through the chloride ion penetration test and freezing and thawing test of concrete specimens after tensile and compressive loading, the influence of load-induced damage on the long-term durability of concrete was studied. The results showed that the apparent chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete increased by 6.4% and 34%, and the surface chloride concentration increased 10% and 40%, respectively, both of which showed the "negative effect" when the uniaxial tensile load level reached the 65% and 75% of the ultimate capacity. However, with the increasing uniaxial compressive load level, the impact on the frost resistance of concrete experienced a transformation from the "positive effect" to the "negative effect".

Slag Powder

Massive high-strength concrete structures tend to have a high risk of cracking. Ground slag powder (GSP), a sustainable and green industrial waste, is suitable for high-strength concrete. We carried out an experimental study of the effects of GSP with a specific surface area of 659 m2/kg on the hydration, pore structure, compressive strength and chloride ion penetrability resistance of high-strength concrete. Results show that adding 25% GSP increases the adiabatic temperature rise of high-strength concrete, whereas adding 45% GSP decreases the initial temperature rise. Incorporating GSP refines the pore structure to the greatest extent and improves the compressive strength and chloride ion penetrability resistance of high-strength concrete, which is more obvious under early temperature-matching curing conditions. Increasing curing temperature has a more obvious impact on the pozzolanic reaction of GSP than cement hydration. From a comprehensive perspective, GSP has potential applications in the cleaner production of green high-strength concrete.

Resistance Performance

Cement is widely used in marine concrete, and its resistance to chloride ion corrosion has been widely considered. In this paper, based on a laboratory test, the influence of different hydrostatic pressures, coarse aggregate contents and w/c ratios on the chloride resistance performance is analyzed. Based on COMSOL finite element software, a two-dimensional cementitious materials model is established, and the simulation results are compared with the experimental results. The results show that the penetration depth of chloride ions in cement increases with the increase of the w/c ratio. Under the hydrostatic pressure of 0 MPa, when the w/c ratio is 0.35, the penetration depth of chloride ions is 7.4 mm, and the simulation result is 8.0 mm. When the w/c ratio is 0.45, the penetration depth of chloride ions is 9.3 mm, and the simulation result is 9.9 mm. When the w/c ratio is 0.55, the penetration depth of chloride ions is 12.9 mm, and the simulation result is 12.1 mm. Under different hydrostatic pressures, the penetration depth of chloride ions obviously changes, and with the increase in hydrostatic pressure, the penetration depth of chloride ions deepens. Under the w/c ratio of 0.35, when the hydrostatic pressure is 0.5 MPa, the penetration depth of chloride ions is 11.3 mm, and the simulation result is 12.1 mm. When the hydrostatic pressure is 1.0 MPa, the penetration depth of chloride ions is 16.2 mm, and the simulation result is 17.5 mm.

This paper presents an experimental study on the permeability and the pore structure of lightweight concrete with fly ash, zeolite powder, or silica fume, in comparison to that of normal weight aggregate concrete. The results showed that the mineral admixtures can improve the anti-permeability performance of lightweight aggregate concrete, and mixed with compound mineral admixtures further more. The resistance to chloride-ion permeability of light weight concrete was higher than that of At the same strength grade, the anti-permeability performance of lightweight aggregate concrete is better than that of normal weight aggregate concrete. The anti-permeability performance of LC40 was similar to that of C60. Mineral admixtures can obviously improve the pore structure of lightweight aggregate concrete, the total porosity reduced while the pore size decreased.

In order to solve the environment pollution of limestone powder during production of limestone manufactured sand and gravel and problem of lack of high quality fly ash or slag powder in ocean engineering, ultra-fine limestone powder was selected for preparation of green high-performance marine concrete containing fly ash and limestone powder and that containing slag powder and limestone powder for tests on workability, mechanical performance, thermal performance, shrinkage, and resistance to cracking and chloride ion permeability. And comparison was made between such green high-performance concrete and conventional marine concrete containing fly ash and slag powder. Moreover, the mechanism of green high-performance marine concrete was preliminary studied. Results showed that ultra-fine limestone powder with average particle size around 10μm had significant water reducing function and could improve early strength of concrete. C50 high-performance marine concrete prepared with 30% fly ash and 20% limestone powder or with 30% slag powder and 30% limestone powder required water less than 130kg/m3, and showed excellent workability with 28d compressive strength above 60MPa, 56d dry shrinkage rate below 300με, cracking resistance of grade V, 56d chloride ion diffusion coefficient not exceeding 2.5×10-12m2/s. Mechanical performance and resistance to chloride ion permeability of limestone powder marine concrete were quite equivalent to those of conventional marine concrete. But it had better workability, volume stability and cracking resistance. Moreover, it can serve as a solution to the lack of high quality fly ash and slag powder.

Chloride Migration

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.

In this paper, the heat-activated conditions of Neimenggu high aluminum coal gangue were studied, and then, the activated coal gangue as a supplementary cementitious material was used in concrete to investigate the application effect. The result shows that the optimal calcining temperature of high aluminum coal gangue is 800°C, the setting time of concrete was postponed, the slump was reduced and the resistance of concrete to chloride ion penetration was improved for the use of activated coal gangue. The compressive strength of concrete was enhanced when cement was replaced by 20%～30% activated coal gangue powder. Pozzolanic effect of activated coal gangue in the early age (7d) is higher and it can promote the hydration of cement with each other.
