The study is divided into two main parts: feasibility study on the reuse of recycled concrete, and experimental study on the quality of recycled aggregate and recycled aggregate concrete. This paper presents the result of the experimental study on the quality of recycled aggregate and recycled aggregate concrete.

Influence of embedded length, concrete strength and yield steel strength on bond strength has been investigated by means of pull-out tests. The final aim of this research program is to define design and specification requirements for this new material. Variations of the average ultimate bond strength with embedded length, for concretes with compressive strength from 40 MPa to 100 MPa, produce horizontal curves, which indicates that the mean ultimate bond stress is an appropriate bond strength indicator. Ultimate bond strength increases proportionally with both the increase of tensile strength and compressive strength of concrete. No significant effect of the yield steel strength of reinforcement on the value of the mean ultimate bond stress has been observed. In the case of a pull-out failure, the relationships between the ultimate mean bond stress and the main characteristics of the bond between steel and concrete (embedded length, mechanical strengths of concrete and yield steel strength) are similar to the ones of standard deformed reinforcement (f sub y = 500 MPa).","PeriodicalId":255305,"journal":{"name":"SP-179: Fourth CANMET/ACI/JCI Conference: Advances in Concrete Technology","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134347675","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 purpose of this investigation was to study the influence of the sulfate content in the clinker phase on the performance of superplasticized concrete mixtures in terms of initial slump level at a given water-cement ratio (0.45), slump-loss rate, and compressive strength at early and later ages. Two batches (A and B) of clinker from the same kiln source were studied, the main difference being the content of sulfate (SO3) in the clinker (0.72% and 1.40%, respectively). Different percentages of natural gypsum, as wet regulator, were interground in a laboratory mill to manufacture portland cements: A1, A2, A3 from clinker A, and B1, B2, B3 from clinker B. Three levels of total sulfate content in terms of SO3 were set: 3.0% in portland cements A1 and B1; 3.5% in portland cements A2 and B2; 4.0% in portland cements A3 and B3. At a given sulfate content in portland cement, the lower the clinker sulfate content, the more effective is the slump increase of the concrete caused by the superplasticizer addition. Moreover, the lower is the clinker sulfate content, the lower is the slump-loss rate of the superplasticized concrete mixture. Finally, at a given water-cement ratio, there is a reduction in the compressive strength at early ages (</= 3 days) when the low sulfate clinker is used to manufacture portland cements. These results are related to the effect of the clinker sulfate content on the degree of cement hydration: the lower the clinker sulfate content, the lower the early cement hydration in terms of gypsum consumption, ettringite formation, and tricalcium silicate (alite) hydration.","PeriodicalId":255305,"journal":{"name":"SP-179: Fourth CANMET/ACI/JCI Conference: Advances in Concrete Technology","volume":"520 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133631588","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}

Two test rigs have been built in order to investigate the problem. The \"Shrinkage-Rig\" determines the \"free\" deformations (e.g., autogenous and thermal deformations), and the special \"Stress-Rig\" determines the stresses when the concrete is restrained against the deformations. The paper presents the results from testing of one high strength normal weight concrete and one high strength lightweight aggregate concrete, both with water/binder ratio 0.38, in the test rigs. Both concretes were exposed to two different temperature histories generated from heat of hydration. The normal weight concrete developed relatively high tensile strains during cooling phase. The corresponding stresses in the Stress-Rig became very high, and in one case the concrete failed. The lightweight aggregate concrete, however, did not develop any tensile strain, due to a lack of autogenous shrinkage caused by the water supply from the lightweight aggregate grains. Consequently, no severe tensile stresses were built up in the Stress-Rig.","PeriodicalId":255305,"journal":{"name":"SP-179: Fourth CANMET/ACI/JCI Conference: Advances in Concrete Technology","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114682215","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 cost to operate the ferry system became an increasing burden for the Canadian government and a proposal call was solicited in 1987 to the private sector to construct and operate an alternate system to the Province of Prince Edward Island. A proposal was accepted for a private consortium to build a 12.9 km bridge from the mainland to Prince Edward Island. The bridge was completed in May, 1997. A precast concrete, post-tensioned segmental box girder structure was selected for the site. A requirement of the Government of Canada was that the design and construction of the bridge provide a structure with a design life of 100 years. The bridge is located in a harsh marine environment, with some 100 annual cycles of freezing and thawing. Ice floes which originate in Northern waters pass through the Northumberland Strait in the winter and early spring months. Water temperatures vary from about -2 deg C in the winter months to +18 deg C in the summer. The salinity of the water in the Northumberland Strait is approximately 3.5%. This paper presents some of the durability concerns which were considered during the design and construction of the bridge and describes how these concerns were addressed. The discussion covers concrete materials and mixtures, air content and slump, chloride ingress, alkali-aggregate reactivity, sulphate attack, freezing and thawing resistance, ice abrasion, salt scaling, thermal cracking, and concrete curing.","PeriodicalId":255305,"journal":{"name":"SP-179: Fourth CANMET/ACI/JCI Conference: Advances in Concrete Technology","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130539120","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}

We tested twelve flat slabs made with different combinations of high strength concrete, ordinary strength concrete, shear reinforcement and steel fiber volume fraction (0%, 0.75% and 1.5%). The square-shaped slabs were designed to represent the slab-column connection in an interior column. A significant increase in the punching shear strength was observed, due to the use of high strength concrete and the addition of steel fibers. The combination of high strength concrete with 1.5% fiber volume fraction and shear reinforcement provided twice the punching shear resistance of an ordinary strength concrete slab without shear reinforcement and without fibers. Fiber addition is believed to be responsible for an increase of approximately 50% in the resistance and also for an increase in ductility.

Until now, it has been applied only to reinforced concrete structures and not to prestressed concrete structures. In this study, desalination was applied to chloride contaminated concrete specimens with pretensioned prestressing steel bars. As a result of the slow strain rate tensile test of prestressing bars after applying desalination, significant influence of treatment on the elastic behavior and plastic behavior until the tensile strength point was not shown but the influence of hydrogen embrittlement due to treatment was impacted on the fracture strength and the contraction rate of fractured sections. As a result of absorbed hydrogen measurement of prestressing steel bars from treated specimens, the release peak of diffusible hydrogen was found. Furthermore, as a result of keeping treated specimens for 1 month, the first peak of diffusible hydrogen (around 470 K) and the change of the fracture behavior due to hydrogen embrittlement disappeared.","PeriodicalId":255305,"journal":{"name":"SP-179: Fourth CANMET/ACI/JCI Conference: Advances in Concrete Technology","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115014845","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}
