Abstract
Hydraulic concrete structures in cold regions are vulnerable to freeze-thaw damage. This paper proposes a multi-scale simulation analysis approach to investigate the mechanical properties and frost resistance of Low-heat Portland (LHP) cement, Moderate-heat Portland (MHP) cement, and Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete. The hydration heat, hydration degree, pore size distribution, and compressive strength of LHP, MHP, and OPC concrete at different curing ages, as well as the ice amount, expansion strain, and mechanical properties under different freeze-thaw cycles are calculated and compared. Due to the lower early-hydrated C3S content of LHP and the higher later-hydrated C2S content, the porosity of LHP after 90d curing is lower than that of MHP and OPC, resulting in better mechanical properties and frost resistance. On this basis, the evolution model proposed in this paper can quantitative analysis the frost resistance of cement paste based on different content of C3S and C2S, which provided a feasible method for predicting the frost resistance of hydraulic concrete structures in cold regions.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
