Microhardness measurements and the quantitative back scattered electron image (BSE) analysis were made in the regions around glass fiber strands embedded in the cement paste. Changes of flexural strength and toughness in the GFR mortars with age were discussed being related to the features of microstructure in the interfacial regions. The toughness of the GFR mortars decreased with age n response to the increase in microhardness at the immediate vicinity of strands and around 70-100 micrometers from the interface. The solidification in the regions around 70-100 micrometes from interface as well as the formation of the hydration products in the spaces among the glass filaments appear to relate to reduction in toughness in GFRC composites.","PeriodicalId":274481,"journal":{"name":"\"SP-126: Durability of Concrete: Second International Conference, Montreal, Canada 1991\"","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133688722","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 primary durability indicator is that of crack free, long wearing concrete. The results of these durability performances are applicable to the concrete industry in general, and specifically to the placement of concrete in chemical plants. The results indicate that the best durability performance was from concrete reinforced with steel fiber, polypropylene fiber second, and then non-fiber reinforced concrete. The reasons for this performance are explored from the perspective of what is needed for schedule, cost, and performance of concrete in the various projects and environments to which the concrete is subjected. This investigation was conducted first by the proper design of the concrete mix proportions, and then by follow-up with field surveys, interviews, and calculations.","PeriodicalId":274481,"journal":{"name":"\"SP-126: Durability of Concrete: Second International Conference, Montreal, Canada 1991\"","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127945171","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 results show conclusively that ARON WALL coating prevents the intrusion of air, water and chloride ions, and provides excellent protection to steel in chloride contaminated concrete while maintaining its adhesion to concrete, integrity and continuity.","PeriodicalId":274481,"journal":{"name":"\"SP-126: Durability of Concrete: Second International Conference, Montreal, Canada 1991\"","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125033768","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}

Aitcin","doi":"10.14359/2115","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14359/2115","url":null,"abstract":"Seventeen concrete mixtures were prepared to evaluate the deicer salt scaling resistance of some high strength concretes with a 28 days strength in the 60-90 MPa range. A 0.30 water/(cement + silica fume) ratio was used for most of the mixtures and 3 additional mixtures were prepared with a 0.26 water/(cement + silica fume) ratio. In the 0.30 mixtures, two types of cements and a silica fume were used (Type III, Type III + 6 percent silica fume, Type I + 6 percent silica fume), and in the 0,26 mixes, only Type I + 6 percent silica fume. All specimens were submitted to 150 daily cycles freezing and thawing in accordance with ASTM C672, using sodium chloride as a deicer. For all concretes, the weight loss after 50 cycles was lower than 0.75 kg/m (squared) and under 2 kg/m (squared) after 150 cycles, and no clear relationship was found between the scaling resistance and the spacing factor. Based upon results in this study, and in others, it seems that the use of a water/(cement + silica fume) ratio of 0.30, a good quality coarse aggregate and a portland cement with silica fume generally allows the production of non-air-entrained concretes with a good deicer salt scaling resistance, even after only 24 hours of curing. It is also possible, with certain Type III cements, to produce deicer salt scaling resistant non-air-entrained concretes without using silica fume.","PeriodicalId":274481,"journal":{"name":"\"SP-126: Durability of Concrete: Second International Conference, Montreal, Canada 1991\"","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131836662","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 test comprises several soaking/drying cycles of samples in a Na sub 2 SO sub 4. 10H sub 2 O solution, followed by measurement of mass variation and residual compressive strength. Visual inspection and sulfate recovery by distilled water immersion increased the accuracy of test results. Results reveal significant differences compared to those test normally used, involving prolonged immersion. The resistance to sulfate attack depends on concrete porosity and capillary absorption, and not on permeability, because pozzolanic reactions seem to interrupt pore continuity. The reduced w/c ratio obtained with the aid of the super-plasticizer was much more effective than the chemical characteristics related to the presence of mineral admixtures in concrete, as regards its resistance to sulfates.","PeriodicalId":274481,"journal":{"name":"\"SP-126: Durability of Concrete: Second International Conference, Montreal, Canada 1991\"","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132977688","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}
