Abstract:
To truly reflect the durability characteristics of concrete subjected to multiple factors under complex environmental conditions, it is necessary to discuss the prediction of its durability. In response to the problem of durability prediction of traditional concrete structures, there is a low prediction accuracy, and the predicted time is long, and a concrete structural durability prediction method based on the deep belief network is proposed. The influencing factors of the concrete structural durability parameters are analyzed by two major categories of concrete material and external environmental conditions, and the transmission of chloride ions in the concrete structure is described. According to the disconnection of the steel bars, the durability of the concrete structure is started, and the determination is determined. The concrete structural antiflexural strength, using a deep belief network training concrete structural antiflexural strength judgment data, constructs a concrete structural durability predictive model and completes the durability prediction of the concrete structure based on the deep belief network. The proposed prediction method based on the deep belief network has a high prediction accuracy of 98% for the durability of concrete column structures. The simulation results show that the concrete structural durability’s prediction accuracy is high and the prediction time is short. The prediction of concrete durability discussed here has important guiding significance for the improvement of concrete durability test methods and the improvement of concrete durability evaluation standards in China.

Abstract:
The mechanical behaviors and durability of concrete containing steel slag powder (SSP), silica fume (SF) and fly ash (FA) were presented in this study. The fresh concrete properties, compressive strength, split tensile strength, elastic modulus, stress-stain curve, chloride permeability as well as carbonation of concretes mixed with different SSP contents or concretes containing compound mineral admixture were tested. The experimental results reveal that the mechanical behaviors and durability of concrete with 10% SSP replacing cement are both improved than that of the reference concrete. Mechanical behaviors and durability of concrete with 20% SSP replacing cement are similar to the reference concrete. Concrete with compound mineral admixture of SSP and SF obtain the highest enhancement in both strength and chloride resistance.

Abstract:
The repairs of building structures are inevitable and indispensable. Repairs are used to restore or maintain the usability of existing facilities, often contributing to the extension of their expected service life, increasing the sustainability of building resources. Given that conservation rules are observed, repairs are also used to save monuments. The concept of repair durability brings to the foreground the durability of the repaired structure (after repair): what service life has been obtained/recovered as a result of the repair. Based on the available data (limited set), a generalised distribution function of repair durability was developed, with a disappointing course. This, however, applies (necessarily) to the past. Significant progress was shown to have been achieved in the theoretical and technical fundamentals of technical repair measures. In this situation, a prognostic distribution function was also designed for future repairs according to EN 1504. A rule of thumb called estimating concrete repair durability, CRD was proposed. The risk associated with estimating the durability of repairs was indicated. A reason for optimism is that proactive monitoring of the condition of the structure and, consequently, management of the repair strategy allows to reach the designed life of the structure.

Abstract:
This paper presents mechanical and durability properties of green star concretes. Four series of concretes are considered. The first series is control concrete containing 100% ordinary Portland cement, 100% natural aggregates and fresh water. The other three series of concretes are green star concretes according to Green Building Council Australia (GBCA), which contain blast furnace slag, recycled coarse aggregates and concrete wash water. In all above concretes compressive strength, indirect tensile strength, elastic modulus, water absorption, sorptivity and chloride permeability are measured at 7 and 28 days. Results show that mechanical properties of green star concretes are lower than the control concrete at both ages with significant improvement at 28 days. Similar results are also observed in water absorption, sorptivity and chloride permeability where all measured durability properties are lower in green star concretes compared to control concrete except the higher water absorption in some green star concretes.

Abstract:
Abstract Modified concretes and fiber concretes for rigid pavements have been investigated. Four-factor experiment was conducted. The amount of Portland cement, polypropylene fiber, metakaolin and polycarboxylate superplasticizer varied in the experiment. All mixtures had the same mobility S2. The active mineral additive metakaolin increases the compressive strength of concrete and its tensile strength in bending. The amount of metakaolin at the level of 15.20 kg/m3 is rational. Due to a decrease in W/C with an increase in the amount of superplasticizer Coral ExpertSuid-5 to 0.9.1%, the compressive strength of concrete increases by 5.7 MPa, the tensile strength in bending increases by 0.5.0.6 MPa. Due to the introduction of polypropylene fiber, the tensile strength of concrete in bending increases by 0.6.0.9 MPa, the frost resistance of concrete increases by 50 cycles. Due to the use of a rational amount of superplasticizer and metakaolin, the frost resistance of concretes and fiber concretes concrete increases by 50-100 cycles. The use of a rational amount of modifiers and fiber reduces the abrasion of concretes by 40.45%. The developed modified fiber concretes of rigid pavements, depending on the amount of Portland cement, have compressive strength from 55 MPa to 70 MPa, tensile strength in bending from 8 MPa to 9.5 MPa, frost resistance from F350 to F450, abrasion from 0.30 to 0.40 g/cm2. Such strength, frost resistance and abrasion resistance allow the use of fiber concretes in pavements with the greatest load and ensures high durability of the material and corresponds to the directions and tasks of the state scientific and technical program “National Transport Strategy of Ukraine for the period up to 2030”

Abstract:
The life of the concrete is strongly influenced by durability parameters. The permeability is one of the main characteristics influencing the durability of concrete. The concrete is more permeable due to the ingress of water, oxygen, chloride, sulphate, and other potential deleterious substances. The durability of concrete is mainly affected by pore structure system of concrete and addingthe supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), such as fly ash, slag cement, and silica fume can be decrease permeability. Crystalline technology enhances the strength of concrete by filling the poresand micro-cracks with non-dissolvable substances. To study the efficiency of crystalline formation in concrete in terms of more permeable should be guaranteed through a specific technique.The effectiveness of crystalline waterproofing system with partial replacement cement by GGBS is studiedin terms of strength and durability. The performance of the two different types of crystalline waterproofing integral admixtures has been studied for compressive strength, Split tensile strength, workability, water permeability, Rapid chloride permeability test and porosity in this paper.The early strength increased in GGBS with crystalline admixture concretes compare to the control concrete. No significant strength reduction is observed in GGBS concretes with crystalline admixture when replaced with 20% and 40% of cement than control concrete.

Reinforced concrete exceptional durability is a major reason why it is the most popular structural material in many infrastructures around the world. Most concrete structures serve for several decades; therefore problems of concrete durability gradually arise. To insure that concrete structures perform functionally, it is necessary to maintain and inspect them regularly. The durability of the reinforced concrete structures generally depends on four major factors: structure design and construction, maintenance, concrete aggregates, and environmental conditions. The most common causes of concrete deterioration are carbonation, design and construction errors, alkali-aggregate reactions, freeze-thaw cycles, and corrosion. Each type of concrete deterioration has its own signs and characteristics. Choosing the best repair technique to address concrete deterioration requires specific analysis and tests to find the cause of the deterioration and the extent of the damage. This study analyzes concrete structures inspection techniques to recognize the source of the problem and the part of the structure which has been affected. Choosing the most proper repair and strengthening techniques to prevent the structure from getting exposed to any further environmental and chemical are the next steps.

Recent trends in concrete durability design have favored the use of protective coatings. Although these coatings, if applied correctly, can totally inhibit degradation of the concrete member, these coatings are expensive. In the most severe conditions, the coatings are the only way to avoid extensive corrosion. In many cases, however, the coatings are used when less expensive means of avoiding concrete corrosion are available. If the type of degradation agents to which the concrete is to be exposed during its service life can be accurately predicted, the durability design requires only minor, inexpensive changes to the concrete mix proportions, the mix ingredients, or the structural detailing. This document provides a comprehensive guide to various types of concrete degradation and the mechanics involved with each type of degradation. For each of the degradation mechanisms discussed, several methods of designing concrete structural members, using only minor alterations in the concrete member, to resist degradation are provided in this document.

Abstract:
Crushed or recycled concrete aggregates (CCA/RCA) is an increasingly popular material as a replacement for natural aggregates in concrete due to industry demands for more recycled, lower carbon and responsibly sourced materials. In the UK, the majority of CCA is utilised in non-structural applications such as: a general fill material, road base/subbase or in low-grade concrete. Recycled aggregate producers however, are seeking new ways to incorporate CCA into higher value applications such as structural concrete to increase profits. Opportunities to incorporate CCA into structural concrete may also arise because of project demands for sustainability or in situations where natural aggregates are in short supply. Limited research has been published regarding the effect of coarse CCA on the durability of structural concrete, particularly in respect to water and chloride ion ingress and possibility of corrosion initiation. The aim of this EngD research programme was to investigate the effect of coarse CCA and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the durability performance of structural concrete, with particular emphasis on the key liquid transport mechanisms within concrete, namely absorption by capillary action, diffusion and migration. This addressed an industry concern regarding the detrimental effect of coarse CCA which has resulted in a limit on replacement levels of coarse natural aggregates in structural concrete, as defined in Eurocodes and local national standards for concrete. In this study, structural concrete was produced with varying levels of coarse CCA replacement (up to 100%), from five different sources and/or structural elements across the UK, with various combinations of SCMs to replace in part the Portland cement. Petrographic analysis was used as an innovative technique to characterise the coarse CCA sources to determine suitability which yielded positive results. The durability performance of the resultant concrete was analysed by exposing the concrete to aggressive chloride environments. The results indicate that the inclusion of coarse CCA, even as low as 20%, had a detrimental effect on the durability performance of structural concrete, in relation to absorption by capillary action, diffusion and migration. This effect however, can be offset through the use of SCMs, which have been shown to outperform control Portland cement concrete with 100% natural aggregates in durability performance tests. The results also suggest that cementitious materials had a greater influence on durability performance than the type and source of coarse aggregates used. It is recommended that the replacement of natural aggregate with coarse CCA be limited to 30% in cases where compliance with the 28 day characteristic strength is of particular importance. If the criterion for compliance at 28 days can be relaxed and the compressive cube strength of concretes with SCMs tested at later ages for conformity (56 or 90 days), then higher quantities of coarse CCA may be incorporated up to 60% to produce a more sustainable structural concrete. It is recommended that Portland cement is partially replaced with 50% ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) to produce a CEM III/A concrete. This is a significant step towards the potential wider implementation of coarse CCA in structural concrete, provided a suitable quantity of SCM is adopted along with a reliable and consistent source of coarse CCA.

Modern fast track construction methods increasingly favour the use of precast concrete elements. Precast box culverts are structurally significant units, subject to an important combination of bridge loadings. Culverts occasionally in contact with water pose a high durability risk. Despite this, the current specifications allow a reduction in cover to reinforcing steel for precast culverts to only 20 mm from at least 40 mm for cast-in-place culverts.

Abstract:
The main theme of this research was to investigate the durability of concrete made using waste materials as a cement replacement. This is a method to produce green sustainable concrete. The objective was to use locally available wastes to produce a concrete that could be used by the local authority. The mechanical, physical and chemical properties of concrete made predominantly with IFA as a partial cement replacement have been tested. The IFA was won locally from the domestic waste incinerator at Coventry, UK. The other materials used in the mixes included Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), silica fume and by-pass dust, which was used as an activator and was also won locally from the Rugby cement plant. Compressive strength and tensile strength, workability, corrosion of embedded steel, shrinkage and expansion, freeze and thaw, corrosion and chloride ingress were studied. Water permeability was studied by the author on mortar samples during one year and on concrete samples during the following. Carbonation was studied on concrete samples and finally mechanical experiments were carried out on concrete beams and slabs. Two further experiments were carried out to complete the study of durability of concrete made with waste materials being, the ASR (Alkaline Silica Reaction) and sulphate attack experiments. One main physical experiment, in the form of a trial mix, was carried out in one of the waste recycling sites of Warwickshire in September 2013. Subsequent to observations during the site trial, the author compared results of setting time, heat of hydration and strength of the trial mix and control mixes. The outcome of this research was a novel mix that had more than 30 percent waste material and a further 40 percent of secondary materials, making it as sustainable as possible. Both laboratory and site trial results have achieved compressive strength which are higher than 30 MPa, indicating that the novel mix concrete could be used for structural purposes. Most of the durability results of the novel mix were comparable with the control OPC mix and the novel mix concrete, in terms of transport properties, induced less electrical current seepage. Furthermore the tensile strength of the novel mix concrete was higher than the control OPC concrete and this is due to the higher ductility index of the novel mix.

Abstract:
Actuellement, il est largement reconnu que la durabilité des structures en béton armé, due à la corrosion des armatures engendrée par la carbonatation ou la pénétration des chlorures, peut être affectée largement par les conditions de cure et de serrage du béton coulé en place. Toutefois, les effets de ces conditions sur la qualité du béton ne sont pas encore entièrement comprises, puisqu'elles sont habituellement négligées (ou traitées superficiellement) dans les méthodologies actuelles de performance utilisées pour la spécification et contrôle de sa durabilité. Dans ce travail sont étudiés les effets des conditions habituelles de mise en place (y compris le serrage) et cure sur les propriétés de durabilité du béton, à savoir, la résistance à la carbonatation accélérée, le coefficient de migration des chlorures (dans des conditions non stationnaires), l'absorption d'eau et la perméabilité aux gaz (méthode CEMBUREAU). À cette fin, plusieurs bétons de différent composition, sans et avec cendres volantes, ont été soumis à deux principaux programmes expérimentaux. Dans le premier programme, trois bétons ont été soumis à une cure humide dans le laboratoire à différentes températures, entre 5 °C et 60 °C, et testés à différents âges, entre 28 et 182 jours, pour quantifier l'effet isolé de la température de cure sur les propriétés de durabilité du béton. Dans le deuxième programme, plusieurs éléments (dalles, poutres et poteaux) ont été coulés sur chantier, pendant l'hiver et l'été, après avoir été soumis à deux conditions différentes de serrage, vibré et non vibré, et démoulés à différentes à 24 h et 72 h. Les propriétés de durabilité du béton près de la surface et de cœur des éléments (propriétés réelles) ont ensuite été mesurées à différents âges, entre 28 et 364 jours, et comparées avec les propriétés des échantillons vibrés et curés en conditions normalisées (propriétés potentielles)
It is widely recognized that the long-term durability of reinforced concrete structures related to carbonation- and chloride-induced corrosion can be detrimentally affected by on-site placing and curing conditions of concrete. However, the effects of these conditions on concrete durability are still not fully understood, being usually overlooked in current performance-based specifications and control of concrete durability. In this work, the effects of realistic placing (including compaction) and curing conditions on the concrete durability-related properties most used in performance-based specifications are studied, such as the accelerated carbonation resistance, chloride migration coefficient (non-steady state conditions), water absorption and gas permeability (CEMBUREAU method). For that purpose, several concretes of different composition, with and without fly ash addition, were subjected to two main experimental programs. In the first program, the concretes were cured in the laboratory under several temperature regimes, ranging from 5 ºC to 60 ºC, and then tested at different ages, from 28 to 182 days, in order to evaluate the isolated effect of curing temperature on their durability-related properties. In the second program, several concrete elements (slabs, beams and columns) were cast outdoors, during the winter and summer, and subjected to different compaction (vibrated and not vibrated) and curing (demoulded after 24 h and 72 h) conditions. The durability-related properties of the inner and outermost concrete of the elements (actual properties) were then measured at different ages, from 28 to 364 days, and compared with those of standard specimens made of the same concrete (potential properties)

Abstract:
Although the use of pervious concrete is expanding, only a limited number of scholarly papers have been published on the resistance of pervious concrete to deterioration under frost action. Based on this need for additional research on the durability of pervious concrete in cold regions, the objective of this research was to evaluate the resistance of pervious concrete to degradation during freeze-thaw cycling under different soil clogging and water saturation conditions. The laboratory research associated with this project involved three primary measures of pervious concrete performance, including freeze-thaw durability, compressive strength, and permeability. Testing associated with freeze-thaw durability involved two levels of soil clogging, two water saturation conditions, and two curing durations in a full-factorial experimental design. Field testing involved measurements of stiffness, permeability, and compressive strength at a single site in Orem, Utah. The factor of water saturation and the interaction between the factors of curing condition and clogging condition played significant roles in testing throughout the entire course of freeze-thaw testing. Regarding the factor of water saturation, specimens that were completely submerged in water during freeze-thaw testing were damaged at a notably faster rate than those specimens that were tested in a moist but unsaturated condition for both curing conditions. Regarding the interaction between the factors of curing condition and clogging condition, the effect of clogging on the number of freeze-thaw cycles to failure depended upon the curing condition. A comparison of in situ modulus values, core modulus values, and core compressive strengths associated with clogged locations and unclogged locations in the field indicated no significant differences in structural properties in the clogged and unclogged locations. Although the results of this research suggest that pervious concrete similar to that evaluated in this study can be successfully used in cold regions under essentially ideal conditions, further laboratory and field research should be performed to more carefully examine the effect of moisture content on the freeze-thaw durability of moist but unsaturated specimens. Also, given that clogging can reduce the freeze-thaw durability of pervious concrete, the efficacy of maintenance procedures available for cleaning partially clogged pervious concrete slabs should be investigated. Long-term monitoring of and supplementary experimentation on the pervious concrete slab tested in this research should be considered for these purposes. More conclusive data about the performance of pervious concrete in cold regions will be derived from such field tests.

Abstract,
The interest in using recycled construction materials is derived from the growth in construction and demolition waste due to rehabilitation and natural and technological disasters. The driving force for recycling concrete is three-fold: preserving natural resources, utilizing the growing waste and saving energy and money. While some waste concrete is currently being crushed and used for grading and base material for highways, it has not been used as the aggregate in new concrete in Canada, largely because of the plentiful supply of good quality virgin material. However, crushed concrete is being used in new concrete in other parts of the world where the local aggregate is inferior, and there is now a push within the Canadian cement and concrete sector to improve the industry sustainability, one aspect of which is recycling of materials.

The research done to date has emphasized the influence of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) on the workability and strength of the new concrete with little attention being paid to the behaviour in service. In contrast, the present study is focused on the durability of concrete containing RCA in reinforced structures. Since the most common cause of failure of reinforced concrete structures in this part of the world is corrosion of the reinforcement by de-icing salts, the focus of the project is on this aspect of durability. The project involves a comparative study of the durability of three concrete mixtures containing, as coarse aggregate:
  1. new clean recycled concrete aggregate (NC-RCA) obtained by crushing the excess concrete returned to the ready mix yard;
  2. old de-icing salt contaminated, recycled concrete aggregate ( OC-RCA) from a demolished bridge over Highway 401 in Ontario;
  3. natural aggregate as a control material.
These three materials were crushed and sieved to give the same grading for each mix. Natural sand was used as fine aggregate. The mixes were adjusted to account for the different water absorption characteristics of the aggregates but were otherwise identical. Prism specimens with a centrally placed reinforcing bar, cylindrical specimens and non-reinforced slabs were cast from each of the concretes. After curing, the reinforced prisms were exposed to a saturated de-icing salt solution for two of every four weeks. For the second two week period, they were allowed to dry in the laboratory atmosphere or, to accelerate the process, dried at 32°C in a low humidity (18%) chamber.

The electrochemical corrosion behaviour of the steel was monitored using linear polarization resistance and cyclic polarization techniques. In addition, the physical properties of the materials were assessed. For the aggregates, water absorption, chloride content and susceptibility to abrasion were determined. For the concretes, compressive strength, salt scaling resistance and chloride permeability were measured and microscopic observation of the interfacial zones between the aggregate and the new cement paste were conducted.

On the basis of the results, it is concluded that the durability and the strength of the RCA concrete is very dependent on the age of the RCA aggregate. Water and chloride permeability, and, salt scaling and reinforcing steel corrosion resistance of concrete made with a very well hardened old RCA were comparable with or better than those of in normal concrete. Concrete incorporating new RCA exhibited inferior properties and consequently, it is recommended that, the OC-RCA concrete can be used as a sustainable material in structural applications.

Abstract:
Recent laboratory results confirm that it is possible to protect concrete from freezing solely using chemical admixtures and indicate that the amount of admixture required may be significantly less than previously recommended. Researchers have also verified that admixture-based freeze protection can produce concrete that is durable to winter exposure for a minimum of 20 years, through petrographic examination of core specimens obtained from past field demonstrations. Freeze protection for concrete using chemical admixtures alone has been an area of active research for 3 decades; however, the most recent methodology recommends very high addition rates of accelerating and corrosion inhibiting admixtures, which result in significant challenges, including slump loss, rapid setting, and potentially excessive temperature rise. As part of a laboratory study, researchers systematically varied the dosage of freeze protection admixtures used in concrete cured in a 23 °F environment. Preliminary findings indicate that a 50% reduction in admixture dose maintained adequate freeze protection and resulted in compressive strengths exceeding those of room-temperature controls at 7 and 28 days. The combination of improved handling, reduced cost, and verified durability associated with the use of admixtures for freeze protection makes a compelling case for broader adoption of this technique in winter operations
