Abstract:
Penetration of aggressive ions, such as chlorides, through concrete is one of the factors which causes to the depassivation of reinforcement and therefore may shorten the service life of a reinforced concrete structure. Most research work focusing on natural or accelerated diffusion tests generally rely on the validity of Fick’s laws. In this paper, we present both a new accelerated diffusion cell and an original test operating mode. The theoretical approach is based upon the study of diffusion-migration mechanism within the pore solution. The experimental results presented here have been obtained with tests on samples of saturated mortar.

A new method is proposed for the preparation of specimens of high fluidity concrete with excellent flowability and segregation resistance that can not be fully controlled by the current Japanese Industrial Standard. Procedures recommended are: (1) Slump cone should be filled in three equally divided volumes followed by rodding of 5 strokes at each layer; (2) Flow time recommended for quality control should be in 5 to 10 seconds; (3) Cylinder mold of $10 x 20 cm for the compressive strength test should be filled in two equally divided volumes followed by a rodding of five strokes at each layer, considering coarse aggregate content and stability of mechanical properties.

Dry crushed rock fines (CRF) which is a nuisance waste at crushed rock aggregate plants has been investigated for its use as a mineral addition in concrete. According to the research conducted so far, both methylene-blue test and sand equivalent test can be applied for the screening test on the quality of CRF Furthermore, CRF is useful not only as supplemental fines in fine particle lacking aggregates such as sea-dredged sand, but also for high-volune fines in self-compacting concrete. This paper presents the test results of a prototype reinforced concrete column and wall structure cast with self-compacting concrete (SCC) containing high-volume of CRF (CRFSCC). Judging from the test results of concrete cores obtained from the column and wall of the structure, the following conclusions were obtained. 1) The greater the distance the concrete flowed through reinforcing steel bars, the greater the segregation of the CRFSCC. 2) Both the front part of the CRFSCC flow and upper part of the CRFSCC structure contained less amount of coarse aggregate, and showed both low values for modulus of elasticity and high values for drying shrinkage. 3) In order to get more homogeneous quality in the structure with CRFSCC, special care is needed for concrete casting procedures. It is suggested that a reverse casting flow direction technique may be effective. 4) Drying shrinkage of CRFSCC did not result in deleterious cracking on the structure.

Recently, application of super-workable concrete with high flowability, has been increasing in tbe construction of steel-concrete composite structures of sandwich systems, concrete-filled steel tubes, and structures with congested reinforcing bar arrangements since compacting of concrete is difficult in those kinds of structures. In such cases, it is necessary to avoid impairing integrities of the structures as a result of gaps formed between steel and concrete due (0 subsidence and shrinkage of concrete and cracks formed due to restraint by steel. In this study, the influences of the kinds of cement and admixtures, and differences of addition rates on autogenous shrinkage, drying shrinkage, and subsidence of super-workable concrete are examined, as are the influences on gaps formed under diaphragms in concrete as well. As a result, it is found that shrinkage and subsidence behaviors differ considerably depending on the kinds of concrete and admixtures.

in conjunction with Self-Compacting Concrete and the varying resistance levels to shrinkage crack due to autogenous and drying shrinkage. Resistance was estimated by comparing the cracking-ages of the concrete under restrained conditions. The powdered materials used were normal portland cement, low-heat portland cement, portland blast-furnace slag cement, two blends of normal portland cement and limestone powder (the blending volume ratios of limestone powder were 30% and 55%). From the results of the experiments, it became clear that the resistance level of Self-Compacting Concrete to shrinkage crack was quite different depending on the type of powdered materials used.
