These properties were achieved through increased density of the cement paste generated by the micro-filler effect and pozzolanic reactions with calcium hydroxide liberated in hydration reactions of cement compounds. However, this beneficial effect on concrete properties involves a considerable cost increase due to the large use of superplasticizers necessary to confer the desired workability to concrete mixtures. A recently studied alternative pozzolana is rice-husk ash, which has been shown to present a performance compatible to that of silica fume, once it is produced under controlled conditions. Nevertheless, recent research in Brazil has shown that even residual rice-husk ash (a by-product of the cereal husk burning for energy production) presents excellent performances as a pozzolana. As part of that researth, this work has been carried out in order to compare silica fume performance with that of residual rice-husk ash in high-performance concrete. Both the demand of a superplasticizer admixture and strength development were investigated against a control concrete (without pozzolana). Three water/cementitious materials (keeping constant the absolute volume of cementitious materials) were studied. Residual rice-husk ash has been demonstrated to be a highly reactive pozzolana, ready for use in the production of high-performance concrete, and requiring less superplasticizer admixture than the concrete with silica fume. As to performance evaluation, concrete mixtures with silica fume showed greater strengths than other concretes. However, the results have shown an increase in residual rice-husk ash concrete strength from the 28th day on, reaching strength values close to those of silica fume at 90 days, an indication that the performance of both pozzolanas may be the same at later ages.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130318846","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}

Several aspects were studied including different components for the concrete as well as the load history for the test specimens. The concrete was made with Brazilian Type CP V ARI cement (ASTM Type III), two different aggregates (limestone and gneiss) and silica fume. The concrete compressive strength was above 50 MPa at 28 days. For the water permeability test, the apparatus developed by Ludirdja et al. at the University of Illinois was employed. Permeability tests were initiated 10 days after casting the concrete. At that time, the test specimens were subjected to different load histories. In series 1, the applied load was equal to 40% of the ultimate compressive strength, while in series 2 this value was increased to 70%. The secant modulus of elasticity and the splitting tensile strength of the concretes at the start of the permeability tests were also evaluated. The test results indicate clearly the effects of the load history on the value of the water permeability coefficient. As the load increases, the value of this coefficient also increases. The results also show that for high-performance concrete produced with Brazilian Type CP V ARI cement, the prescribed compressive strength may be reached in a short period of time, but the long-term water permeability coefficient seems to require a longer time to develop.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130467195","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}

Sivakumar","doi":"10.14359/5555","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14359/5555","url":null,"abstract":"In structures, such as bridges, bridge-deck overlays, pavements, offshore structures, parts of high-rise buildings and crane-girders in the industrial buildings, which are subject to cyclic loading and dynamic loading, the flexural fatigue strength and endurance limit of concrete are important design parameters. Most modern building codes concentrate on providing sufficient ductility in a structure to prevent its collapse during a major seismic event. Structures may be deformed beyond the elastic limit in order to absorb all of the energy imparted to them. In such cases ductility, the ability of the structure to undergo increasing deformations beyond yield stresses while still sustaining gravity and other loads, is therefore necessary in order to prevent catastrophic collapse. Non-metallic fiber reinforced concrete represents a potential solution. The behavior of non-metallic fiber reinforced concrete under cyclic loading needs to be studied. This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical investigation to determine the flexural fatigue strength and endurance limit of non-metallic (polyolefin) fiber reinforced concrete. Six different polyolefin FRC mixes with varying compressive strengths were investigated. The FRC beams were subjected to flexural fatigue with third point loading at a frequency of 25 load cycles per second. It was found that polyolefin fiber reinforced concrete reaches an endurance limit at about two million cycles. The fatigue life model (S-N curve) was more accurate when presented on a log-log scale than on a log-normal scale. Statistical and probabilistic concepts are introduced to predict the flexural fatigue model and the fatigue life expectancy of the composite.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128870757","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}

Since HPC is a brittle material, studies have been done to increase its ductility. Increases in longitudinal and/or transverse steel ratios can improve the ductility of HPC elements. The addition of fibres also increases the deformability and thus the ductility. Hence the transverse steel ratio can be reduced by using fibres. This paper presents a study of axially loaded columns made with high-performance concrete containing steel fibres. The average compressive strength of the concrete was 80 MPa. The volumetric ratios of fibres were: 0.25%, 0.50% and 1.00%, and the stirrup ratios were 0.55% and 0.82%. The longitudinal steel ratio was the same for all columns tests, the W/C was 0.37, 10% silica fume was added and it was also necessary to use about 3% superplasticizer to improve workability. A comparison was made between the results for columns in high-strength concrete with and without fibres. It was observed that only the cross-sectional core effectively contributed to the load capacity of the columns.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128066425","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}
