Study on Influence of Mineral Admixture on Chloride Ion Penetration and Diffusion in Concrete

In this paper, the influences of different kinds and different amount of mineral admixture to Cl-penetration and diffusion in concrete are studied. The results of experiment show that separate addition of mineral admixture (ground fly ash, slag fines, silica fume) into concrete can improve its resistance to chloride ion penetration and diffusion. Furthermore,the effect of silica fume is the best, fly ash second, and then follows slag fines. Mechanism analysis shows that the pozzolanic effect of mineral admixture improves the interface between the cement and aggregate in concrete, reduces the total porosity, makes pores more smaller, on the other hand it increases the Cl-consolidation capability of concrete with low alkaline C-S-H gel produced. So the resistance to chloride ion penetration of concrete is improved.     

A Primary Investigation on Concrete Made from Iron and Steel Slags for Building Ecological Artifical Reefs

A method of orthogonal test was used to optimize the strength of the cementitious material for preparing the concrete of high-strength artifical reefs.The results show that with the ratio of iron slag:steel slag=7:1,and when 10% cement clinker and 10% gypsum of Flue Gas Desulfurization Waste (FGDW) was mixed with 80% iron and steel slags powder,the mixed cementitious material had an optimized strength.The optimized specific surface area are 480 m 2/kg and 550 m 2/kg for iron slag and steel slag powder respectively.The ordinary portland cement can be totally substituted by such a mixed cementitious material with iron and steel slags as its major components in preparing the concrete for building high-strength artificial reefs.A concrete with a compressive strengh over 65MPa can be prepared by using such a mixture as a cementitious material and steel slag grains as its fine and coarse aggregats which have been stubilized by a hot-simmering method. Hydration processes of net slurry were analysized by XRD and SEM methods. The results show that the hydration products in the system are mainly AFt and C-S-H gel. The results also show that the pozzolanic reaction of iron slags could be largely promoted by the coordinations of steel slags,clinker and FGDW.

Keys to research and future directions were proposed.     

The Influence on the Strength of Cement Mortars by Emulsified Epoxy

The influence on the strength of cement mortars by adding emulsified epoxy is studied, and epoxy resin polymer cement mortars with excellent performances are made up through modifying ordinary Portland cement with emulsified epoxy and micro-fine slag.

高MgO镍铁渣作为活性混合材使用的可行性分析

中国镍铁渣排放量很大,但目前尚未找到大量利用的途径。笔者在分析镍铁渣组成、性能的基础上,对镍铁渣作为活性混合材使用的可能性及效果进行了研究。结果表明:镍铁渣中非晶体矿物的含量为88.1%,含量高达27.07%的MgO主要以顽辉石和镁铁橄榄石两种晶体矿物形式存在。镍铁渣的比表面积影响其活性和在水泥中的掺量。作为活性混合材,镍铁渣比表面积需不低于454.6 m²/kg。比表面积越大,活性指数越大,掺量越大。镍铁渣水泥的压蒸安定性合格,即使在水泥中掺入50%比表面积842.9 m²/kg的镍铁渣,水泥的压蒸膨胀率仅为0.11%,大大低于0.5%的GB750-1992要求,由此证明镍铁渣不会因为MgO含量高而影响其作为活性混合材的使用。     

Influence of Cement Fineness and Components on Temperature Rise of Concrete

Adiabatic temperature rise of mass concrete is effected by many factors. Among those factors, the analysis of cement fineness and components is lacking. Influences of cement fineness, alkali content, replacement of fly ash, and gypsum content on temperature rise of concrete were investigated. The test results show that, temperature rise and temperature rise rate are improved with the increment of specific surface area of cement. When alkali content is ranging from 0.4% to 1.2%, the maximum temperature is reduced with the increment of alkali content, and the temperature-time will be extended whether too high or too low alkali content in cement. The increment of replacement of fly ash and gypsum content is good for reducing temperature rise of concrete.

The experimental results indicate that the ferronickel submerged arc furnace slag can be used as supplementary cementitious material and has an increase of flexural strength and effect of plasticizing and water reducing.     

Effects of Stone Powder on Wet Packing Density of Cement and Performances of Concrete

The amount of limestone powder, which is a by product of manufactured fine aggregate, is larger and larger with the increase of manufactured fine aggregate. Environment will be severely polluted if the powder is improperly used. The effects of limestone powder on workability, compressive strength, and impermeability of concrete were studied when cement is substituted for the mass proportion of 0, 10, 15, 20 percent with it. The results show that the performances of concrete are better improved when the percentage of limestone powder is about 10 percent. The wet packing density of mixture of limestone powder and cement was measured, and it shows that the degree of density was biggest when limestone powder is 10 percent. This shows that the best mixing proportion of limestone powder and cement may be determined through measuring the change of compactness of mixture of limestone powder and cement.

Micro structure Characteristics of Recycled Fine Aggregate and Its Concrete

The characteristics of recycled fine aggregate (RFA) and its concrete (RFAC) were analyzed by SEM, EDXA, XRD, Micro harness and nitrogen absorption. The results show that RFA is an artificial aggregate with complex compositions, certain hydration activity and high permeability. The mineral compositions of RFA include SiO2, CaCO3 and a small quantity of C2S, which has a certain hydration activity and can form hydration productions. The compaction rate of cement paste in RFAC is low because of pores in it. There is obvious interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between RFAC and cement paste, and its width is bigger than that in ordinary concrete. In addition, the values of micro hardness of the interfacial transition zone on both sides of RFA and cement paste are lower. The porous structure of the recycled fine aggregates and defects of ITZ are main reasons for big pores in RFAC, which has bad effect on impermeability of RFAC.

Study on Autogenous Relative Humidity Change and Autogenous Shrinkage of High-Performance Concrete

Autogenous relative humidity (ARH) reduction and autogenous shrinkage (AS) due to self-desiccation are common phenomena in high performance or high-strength concrete, which are the main reasons resulting in cracking of concrete at early ages. In this paper, the effects of the ratio of water to cementitious material (w/cm), paste volume content and the combined addition of silica fume (SF) and ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) on ARH change and AS of concrete due to self-desiccation were studied, and their relationship was discussed. The results indicate that the w/cm is a main factor affecting ARH change and AS of concrete. With the reduction of w/cm, ARH change and AS of concrete increases. The combined addition of SF and GBFS also augments these properties at later ages. There is significant linear correlation between ARH change and AS of concrete with different w/cm, paste volume content and the combined addition of SF and GBFS.
