Type 304, 316 and 420 stainless steel coated coupons and reinforcing bars were prepared using the Twin-Wire Electric Arc (TWEA) and High Pressure/High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HP/HVOF) processes. Metallographic examinations were conducted to determine the coating density and the oxide content. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was evaluated using linear polarization and salt spray techniques. The oxide content of the coating in the TWEA process can be significantly reduced using argon or nitrogen as primary and arc jet gases. This did not have a significant effect on porosity of the coating.","PeriodicalId":109987,"journal":{"name":"SP-171: Third CANMET/ACI International Symposium on Advances in Concrete Technology","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127994342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An attempt is made to assess, evaluate and appreciate the behavior of the polyolefin fiber-reinforced concrete. The performance of fresh concretes and the properties of hardened concretes with and without fibers are compared. A comparison is also made between the non-metallic polyolefin fiber-reinforced concrete and steel fiber-reinforced concrete. The test program on fresh concrete included: slump, concrete properties included: compressive strength, static modulus, modulus of rupture, load-deflection curves, first crack toughness strength and post crack behavior, ASTM toughness indices, Japanese toughness index, equivalent flexural strength, fatigue strength and impact strength.","PeriodicalId":109987,"journal":{"name":"SP-171: Third CANMET/ACI International Symposium on Advances in Concrete Technology","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122536108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was confirmed by investigations that a high-strength concrete without air-entrainment and with a low water-cement ratio and consequently almost no capillary pores may have a very high freeze-deicing salt resistance. The effect of phase transformations in hydrated cement under freeze-deicing salt attack which is practically harmless in air-entrained concretes should, however, be taken into consideration when dealing with high-strength concretes without air-entrainment.","PeriodicalId":109987,"journal":{"name":"SP-171: Third CANMET/ACI International Symposium on Advances in Concrete Technology","volume":"295 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123090083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first was made with polystyrene beads and blast furnace slag aggregate. The second type of concrete investigated was made from sintered fly ash aggregate as a total replacement of both coarse and fine aggregate. This concrete yielded a dry density of about 1790 kg/cubic meter and a compressive strength above 70 MPa, and values for the moduli of rupture and elasticity of 5.5 MPa and 21 GPa respectively. The stress-strain relationship of this concrete is a straight line until very near to failure thus underlining its brittle nature. The shrinkage values for this concrete are lower than normal weight concrete and this is attributed mainly to the excellent bond capability and to the high absorptive capacity of the aggregate. Addition of fly ash as a partial replacement of fines was beneficial in eliminating segregaton and increasing workability and cohesion of the fresh concrete.","PeriodicalId":109987,"journal":{"name":"SP-171: Third CANMET/ACI International Symposium on Advances in Concrete Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127482300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Special emphasis is placed on recent innovations based on the optimum paste volume and optimum packing density concepts. Each method is evaluated on the basis of its ability to yield cost-effective RCC mixtures with optimum workability, permeability and mechanical properties.
