The paper presents the results of experimental investigation conducted with reinforced high-strength concrete corbels and gives explanation for them by means of the proposed model. At the end it is shown that, when proper main and web reinforcements are provided, the failure by yielding of the main reinforcement can be achieved and that the models originally developed for normal strength concrete corbels are suitable to those made with high-strength concrete.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"375 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":"122165348","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}

In very aggressive environments, the material degradation and structural distress arising from steel corrosion can reduce dramatically the useful service life of structures, affect their strength, stability and safety, and indeed, even lead to premature failure. The aim of this paper is to offer an integrated, holistic approach - a global design/management strategy - which will enable us to design new structures with a specified durable service life, and which will also enable us to enhance the durable service life of existing deteriorating structures. The paper identifies the design parameters that need to be satisfied and the strategy that needs to be adopted to ensure long-term corrosion-free service life of concrete structures, whether they are to be newly built or are existing but deteriorating due to environmental attack or otherwise damaged. The paper is accompanied by relevant and appropriate test data.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"24 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":"117026183","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}

High-performance concretes were made using a combination of different cementitious materials (blast-furnace slag and silica fume). The water-to-cementitious materials ratio was 0.27, and the bulk volume of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate per unit volume of concrete were fixed at 0.50 and 0.60, respectively. All mixtures used a superplasticizer and were non-air-entrained. Test cylinders were cast for testing in compression at 1 and 28 days, and test prisms were cast for determining resistance to freezing and thawing cycles in accordance with ASTM C 666, Procedure A, and for resistance to scaling from deicing chemicals according to ASTM C 672. The curing methods were water curing and steam curing. The air-void parameters of the hardened concrete were determined on the sawn sections. The test results indicate that non-air-entrained, high-performance concrete with steam curing showed low durability factors. High-performance concrete with water curing performed satisfactorily when subjected to up to 1500 cycles of freezing and thawing. Water-cured, high-performance concrete showed no appreciable scaling after 100 freezing and thawing cycles, showing high resistance to scaling.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"44 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":"127365225","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 criterion used for this analysis is the amount of water absorbed after one hour. The specimens were placed in a constant water level of 1 cm, and the quantity of absorbed water was measured by mass. The influence of cement type, temperature, relative humidity and surface protection in the initial absorption was observed. Two concrete mixtures were made with ordinary portland cement blended with calcareous filler (12% and 25% by mass). These concretes were cured at two temperatures (20 degrees C and 40 degrees C) and different relative humidities (30%, 60% and 100%). In some specimens a curing compound was used to observe its influence on surface protection from initial water absorption. The concrete strengths ranged from 28 to 62 MPa. The esperimental results showed that by changing the relative humidity from 60% to 100% during 7 days, the initial absorption can diminish by a factor of 2. The curing temperature can increase the initial absorption by 64%. The curing compound has a real influence in the concrete initial absorption.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"7 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":"132028147","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}

Pazini","doi":"10.14359/5567","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14359/5567","url":null,"abstract":"The chlorides from the sea and the marine breeze are the main source of corrosion in marine environments. Their penetration into concrete occurs through capillary absorption, diffusion or a mix of both. A chloride threshold for producing reinforcement corrosion can be predicted through mathematical models but the results may not be reliable if the action of environmental agents as the RH, temperature, winds, rains and drying periods are not well known. Although these limitations are recognized in several works, there are few field data in the literature to support, according to different exposure conditions, the form of the chloride penetration profiles. This work presents the form of chloride profiles from different exposure conditions. It discusses their behavior and justifies the results according to the presence of the environmental conditions. Some of the results indicate that the environments with chloride saturation produce profiles with a well defined concentraion gradient, while those with strong periods of rains, drying, winds, as well as strong variations of RH and temperature show a two-zone profile. In the last case, one zone is close to the concrete nucleus where the supposed reinforcement is positioned and that stays dampened due to the high chloride concentraion, and the other one is close to the concrete surface in which continuous wetting and drying cycles take place. It was also found that, under this research trial, the chloride penetration mechanism did not change with the micro-climate but nucleus concentration changed with the distance from the sea and concrete quality.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"21 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":"134251055","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}

Interpretation of the impedance and resistivity data was carried out in conjunction with data from mercury intrusion porosimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and other techniques. The addition of the PNS superplasticizer influences both the cement paste/sand interfacial region and the bulk paste component in the mortar. The transition zone was more porous at early hydration (around 4 hours) for mortars with high dosages of superplasticizer. The dosage levels also influence the morphology of the hydrates. Larger high frequency arcs and higher electrical resistance values were obtained for all the superplasticized mortars at one day and beyond. This suggests a modification in the pore structure and porosity of both the transition zone and the bulk paste due to presence of the superplasticizer. Mercury porosimetry, thermogravimetry and conduction calorimetry measurements support the interpretation of the AC impedance spectra.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"7 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":"134348161","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 study includes extensive laboratory work, where compressive strength and modulus of elasticity were measured at different ages for a high performance concrete mixture made with two different types of coarse aggregate, and cured at various curing temperatures. Comparison with provisions to estimate the modulus of elasticity given by ACI 318 and the CEB model code are presented, together with the application of the maturity approach to model the development of the modulus of elasticity. It is concluded that the compressive strength-modulus of elasticity relationships in the international codes may be used to estimate the elastic modulus at later ages if correction factors to account for the type of coarse aggregate are used. These relationships, however, were not able to estimate reliable results at earlier ages. The maturity approach was seen to better estimate the modulus of elasticity at early ages.","PeriodicalId":299049,"journal":{"name":"SP-186: High-Performance Concrete: Performance and Quality of Concrete Structures","volume":"52 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120887417","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}

In this context, the use of electric steel slag and copper slag can be a potential alternative to the admixtures used in concrete and mortars. Results of physical, chemical and physical-chemical characterizations of electric steel slags from Rio Grande do Sul and copper slags from Bahia, both in Brazil, are presented in this work.
