The influence of subsequent curing on the performance of fly ash contained mortar under steam curing was studied. Mortar samples incorporated with different content (0%, 20%, 50% and 70%) of Class F fly ash under five typical subsequent curing conditions, including standard curing (ZS), water curing(ZW) under 25℃, oven-dry curing (ZD) under 60℃, frozen curing (ZF) under -10℃, and nature curing (ZN) exposed to outdoor environment were implemented. The unsteady chloride diffusion coefficient was measured by rapid chloride migration test (RCM) to analyze the influence of subsequent curing condition on the resistance to chloride penetration of fly ash contained mortar under steam curing. The compressive strength was measured to analyze the mechanical properties. Furthermore, the open porosity, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were examined to investigate the pore characteristics and phase composition of mortar. The results indicate that the resistance to chloride ingress and compressive strength of steam-cured mortar decline with the increase of fly ash incorporated, regardless of the subsequent curing condition. Compared to ZS, ZD and ZF lead to poor resistance to chloride penetration, while ZW and ZN show better performance. Interestingly, under different fly ash contents, the declining order of compressive strength remains ZS>ZW>ZN>ZD>ZF. When the fly ash content is blow 50%, the open porosity grows with increase of fly ash, regardless of the curing conditions are diverse. However, if the replacement amount of fly ash exceeds a certain high proportion (70%), the value of open porosity tends to decrease. Moreover, the main phase composition of the mortar hydration products is similar under different curing conditions, but the declining order of the C-S-H gels and ettringite content is ZS>ZD>ZF. The addition of fly ash could increase the amount of harmless pores at early age.

The influence of powdered and colloidal nano-silica (NS) on the mechanical properties of cement mortar has been investigated. Powdered-NS (~40 nm) was synthesized by employing the sol-gel method and compared with commercially available colloidal NS (~20 nm). SEM and XRD studies revealed that the powdered-NS is non-agglomerated and amorphous, while colloidal-NS is agglomerated in nature. Further, these nanoparticles were incorporated into cement mortar for evaluating compressive strength, gel/space ratio, portlandite quantification, C-S-H quantification and chloride diffusion. Approximately, 27 and 37 % enhancement in compressive strength was observed using colloidal and powdered-NS, respectively, whereas the same was up to 19 % only when silica fume was used. Gel/space ratio was also determined on the basis of degree of hydration of cement mortar and it increases linearly with the compressive strength. Furthermore, DTG results revealed that lime consumption capacity of powdered-NS is significantly higher than colloidal-NS, which results in the formation of additional calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H). Chloride penetration studies revealed that the powdered-NS significantly reduces the ingress of chloride ion as the microstructure is considerably improved by incorporating into cement mortar.

Chloride induced reinforcement corrosion is widely accepted to be the most frequent mechanism causing premature degradation of reinforced concrete members, whose economic and social consequences are growing up continuously. Prevention of these phenomena has a great importance in structural design, and modern Codes and Standards impose prescriptions concerning design details and concrete mix proportion for structures exposed to different external aggressive conditions, grouped in environmental classes. This paper focuses on reinforced concrete column section load carrying capacity degradation over time due to chloride induced steel pitting corrosion. The structural element is considered to be exposed to marine environment and the effects of corrosion are described by the time degradation of the axial-bending interaction diagram. Because chlorides ingress and consequent pitting corrosion propagation are both time-dependent mechanisms, the study adopts a time-variant predictive approach to evaluate residual strength of corroded reinforced concrete columns at different lifetimes. Corrosion initiation and propagation process is modelled by taking into account all the parameters, such as external environmental conditions, concrete mix proportion, concrete cover and so on, which influence the time evolution of the corrosion phenomenon and its effects on the residual strength of reinforced concrete columns sections.

Utilization of supplementary cementing materials (SCM) by the cement industry, as a highly promising solution of sustainable cement development aiming to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, necessitates a more thorough evaluation of these types of materials on concrete durability. In this study a comparative assessment of the effect of SCM on concrete durability, of every cement type as defined in the European Standard EN 197-1 is taking place, using a software tool, based on proven predictive models (according to performance-related methods for assessing durability) developed and wide-validated for the estimation of concrete service life when designing for durability under harsh environments. The effect of Type II additives (fly ash, silica fume) on CEM I type of cement, as well as the effect of every Portland-composite type of cement (and others) are evaluated in terms of their performance in carbonation and chloride exposure, for a service life of 50 years. The main aim is to portray a unified and comprehensive evaluation of the efficiency of SCM in order to create the basis for future consideration of more types of cement to enter the production line in industry.

콘크리트는 공용기간동안 구조물 자체의 자중 및 이동 하중에 따른 응력을 받게 되며, 이러한 응력은 구조적인 거동뿐 아니라 내구적인 거동에도 영향을 준다. 대단위 콘크리트 부재의 시공은 시공이음을 요구하는데, 면처리 불량 또는 이어치기의 지연에 의해 콜드조인트가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 콜드조인트는 전단력에 취약할 뿐 아니라 염화물 확산성에도 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 응력조건과 콜드조인트가 콘크리트의 염화물 확산에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 콜드조인트를 가진 콘크리트는 인장하중 수준이 30%에서 60%로 커질 때, 확산계수는 꾸준하게 증가하여 건전부와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 압축부에서는 하중재하 30% 수준부터 콜드조인트 콘크리트에서 염화물 확산계수가 크게 증가하여 확산계수가 170% 이상 증가하였다. 이러한 특성은 압축하중을 받는 건전부 콘크리트와 큰 차이가 있으므로 이음부를 가지는 콘크리트의 내구성 설계에 주의가 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 알루민산칼슘 시멘트(CAC)의 철근 부식 저항성에 관한 것으로서 철근 부식의 위험성을 예측하기 위하여 철근 부식 거동, 염화물 고정화/완충 및 염화물 침투성을 평가하였다. 알루민산칼슘 시멘트 모르타르는 양생 온도와 시멘트의 종류에 관계없이 철근에 부식이 발생하지 않은 반면, 보통포틀랜드시멘트(OPC)는 철근 표면에 심각한 부식이 발생하였다. CAC의 염화물 결합력은 OPC에 비하여 낮은 것으로 나타났지만, pH 감소에 대한 완충 능력은 CAC 페이스트가 훨씬 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 알루민산칼슘 시멘트를 사용한 시편의 모든 깊이에서 염화물 유입이 감소함으로서 철근 부식의 위험성이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다.

콘크리트 내의 염소이온 침투에 영향을 미치는 정성적인 주요 인자로는 물-결합재비, 시멘트 종류, 재령, 주위 환경의 염소이온 농도 및 건습조건 등이 있다. 이에 따라 이 연구에서는 염소이온 확산실험을 통해 시멘트 종류 및 환경조건이 염소이온 확산특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 물-결합재비 32%, 38% 및 43%에 대해서 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC), 2성분계 시멘트(BBC) 및 3성분계 시멘트(TBC) 각각을 사용한 콘크리트의 확산계수를 측정하였으며, 또한 물-결합재비 43%에 대해서 표준양생 및 해양환경에 폭로된 콘크리트의 확산계수를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 염소이온 침투 저항성은 물-결합재비가 감소함에 따라 증가하고, 2성분계 및 3성분계 시멘트를 사용한 콘크리트의 침투 저항성이 OPC 콘크리트에 비하여 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 염해환경에 노출된 철근콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명을 증진시키기 위하여 광물질 혼화재를 혼입한 2성분계 혹은 3성분계 시멘트의 사용이 요구된다. 한편, 현장 폭로 시편의 염소이온 침투 저항성은 일정하지 않은 대기온도 하에서 염소이온의 침투, 파랑 및 건습반복의 영향으로 표준양생 시편의 경우보다 다소 저하되는 것으로 나타났다.

The present study is focused on the mechanical and durability properties of ternary blended cement concrete mix of different grades 30 MPa, 50 MPa and 70 MPa. Three mineral admixtures (fly ash, silica fume and lime sludge) were used as a partial replacement of cement in the preparation of blended concrete mix. The durability of ternary blended cement concrete mix was studied by exposing it to acids HCl and $H_2SO_4$ at 5% concentration. Acid mass loss factors (AMLF), acid strength loss factor (ASLF) and acid durability factor (ADF) were determined, and the results were compared with the control mix. Chloride ions penetration was investigated by conducting rapid chlorination penetration test and accelerated corrosion penetration test on control mix and ternary blended cement concrete. From the results, it was evident that the usage of these mineral admixtures is having a beneficiary role on the strength as well as durability properties. The results inferred that the utilization of these materials as a partial replacement of cement have significantly enhanced the compressive strength of blended concrete mix in 30 MPa, 50 MPa and 70 MPa by 42.95%, 32.48% and 22.79%. The blended concrete mix shown greater resistance to acid attack compared to control mix concrete. Chloride ion ingress of the blended cement concrete mix was low compared to control mix implying the beneficiary role of mineral admixtures.
