Abstract
Although concrete has many advantages as a construction material under normal settings, its behavior under extreme conditions has yet to be fully investigated, particularly with new advances in concrete technology and the need to create sustainable concrete. This study looks at the strength of modified cementitious materials in harsh situations. This study looks at the strength of modified cementitious materials in harsh situations. To test strength during sodium chloride exposure (5 % and 15 %) and radiation (80, 238, 356, 662, 1173, 1333, and 2164 keV), 62 specimens were manufactured with various concentrations of Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS) (10 %, 20 % and 30 %) and Cement Kiln Dust (CKD) (50 % and 100 %). The results show that GBFS-modified materials outperformed CKD. Specimens treated to 15 % sodium chloride showed a greater loss in strength than those exposed to 5 % sodium chloride. Cementitious materials changed with GBFS are more resistant to salts (sodium chloride) than those modified with CKD. Cementitious materials with GBFS demonstrated better gamma-ray shielding properties for CKD in the half value layers "HVL" and tenth value layers "TVL". Increasing thickness has no significant influence on the Linear Attenuation Coefficient.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Construction Materials provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies on construction materials. In addition, the journal also publishes related Short Communications, Full length research article and Comprehensive review papers (by invitation).
The journal will provide an essential compendium of case studies for practicing engineers, designers, researchers and other practitioners who are interested in all aspects construction materials. The journal will publish new and novel case studies, but will also provide a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic construction material problems and solutions.
