The diffusivity of carbon dioxide and the moisture conditions in concrete significantly influence the carbonation rate. Thus a test method was developed to determine the effective CO₂ diffusion coefficient (<em>D_CO2</em>). Additionally, the water vapour diffusion coefficients (<em>D_H2O</em>) were analysed. <em>D_CO2</em> and <em>D_H2O</em> increase with increasing water-to-cement ratios (w/c, related to the CEM I content in the binder). At the same w/c ratio, higher amounts of limestone decrease <em>D_CO2</em> and <em>D_H2O</em> and increase compressive strength. <em>D_CO2</em> and <em>D_H2O</em> show a linear correlation for samples with w/c ≥ 0.6 but a non-linear relationship for dense concrete (w/c ≤ 0.5). <em>D_CO2</em> ranges from 2.6⁻⁹ m²/s to 1.9⁻⁷ m²/s for w/c of 0.5 and 1.25, respectively. <em>D_H2O</em> were between 2.8⁻⁸ m²/s and 4.5⁻⁷ m²/s.

Differences in ACM composition, reaction products, and microstructure produces variations in their performance, including their resistance to fluid and ion and to corrosion of embedded steel. Understanding relationships between composition, structure, and corrosion performance in ACM systems is essential for designing durable reinforced concrete from these materials. Here, five commercially available ACMs are evaluated and compared against ordinary portland cement (OPC). The five ACMs include one calcium aluminate cement (CAC); one ternary blend of calcium aluminate, portland cement, and calcium sulfate (CACT); one calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA) as well as the same CSA cement with polymer-modification (CSAP); and one activated aluminosilicate binder system (AA). Water sorption, chloride ion ponding, bulk conductivity, formation factor measurements, and accelerated corrosion tests were performed to evaluate the porosity, mass transport, chloride ion binding capacity, and resistance to corrosion of embedded reinforcement. The results demonstrate that mixtures with high pore structure interconnectivity and low binding capacity (such as CSA and CAC investigated in this paper) or mixtures with significantly low binding capacity (such as AA investigated in this paper) should be avoided to minimize damage due to chloride-induced corrosion. Polymer addition could be an important strategy to improve the corrosion resistance of mixtures that have high interconnectivity.

The PLCs studied include both interground (10–15% limestone by mass) and interblended (10% limestone by mass) systems. In this study, ASTM Type II/V cements, five different SCMs, two very-highly reactive fine aggregates, and six SCM combinations were investigated. A total of 100 mixtures were assessed using three different accelerated laboratory test methods to investigate if the SCM combinations that are used with OPCs can be utilized as-is, increased, or decreased when used instead with PLCs. The test methods used to evaluate ASR included the Pyrex mortar bar test (PMBT, ASTM C441), the accelerated mortar bar test (AMBT, ASTM C1567), and the miniature concrete prism test (MCPT, AASHTO T 380). The difference in performance between PLCs with SCMs and parent OPCs with SCMs in the MCPT conditions was further evaluated using pore solution alkalinity and electrical resistivity analysis. The efficacy of the SCM combinations to prevent ASR was also evaluated with a pozzolanic reactivity test. The expansion results from the accelerated laboratory test methods revealed that the mixtures with PLCs and SCMs had similar or better overall performance when compared to the mixtures with the parent OPCs and SCMs. It was observed that the particle size of the added limestone in interblended PLC with SCM mixtures could have a significant influence on the ASR expansion that may alter the output of the test (pass/fail). Consequently, the SCM combinations that are used with OPCs can likely be utilized as-is when used with interground PLCs with up to 15% limestone to prevent ASR. The pore solution and bulk electrical resistivity analysis showed that the lower pore solution alkalinity and higher resistance to mass transport are the main contributing factors towards PLCs’ overall improved performance for ASR mitigation in the presence of SCMs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100225,"journal":{"name":"CEMENT","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100031"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666549222000111/pdfft?md5=c38d67f918a1547be2aaa2217548e1af&pid=1-s2.0-S2666549222000111-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87918540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand why property changes with confinement, we compute structural descriptors including the radial distribution function, apparent density, hydrogen bonds counting, and excess pair entropy of water as a function of the confinement.
