Development of Low Permeable Concrete for the Control of Deterioration in Underground Structures

In underground reinforced concrete structures, such as drainage structure, water and chloride ion penetrated into concrete through the cracks of concrete and its permeable property, cause the corrosion of reinforcing steel bar, which accelerates the expansive cracks and deterioration of concrete. It is necessary to control those deterioration of underground structure by improving its permeability and durability through the reasonable solutions in design, construction and materials. In the present study, fly ash concrete, which has good material properties in long-term period, is compared and studied with plain concrete using ordinary portland cement in terms of fundamental mechanical properties, permeability, drying shrinkage and durability. Also, the mix design and its properties of low permeable concrete using fly ash are reviewed. From this study, fly ash concrete can conctrol the penetration of water and chloride ion effectively by forming dense microstructure of concrete. Therefore, fly ash concrete may increase the long-term function, performance and serviceability of underground structures.
