Full textAbstract:
Organic ion exchanger resin beads are widely used in nuclear waste technology for pond water cleanup. They accumulate radioactive Cs and Sr in service. For disposal, the beads are encapsulated in cement but their stabilisation in cement has been difficult to achieve. The ion exchangers uptake calcium and inbibe water, as a result of which they swell, cracking the cement. Nuclear Electric had previously commissioned work on non-swelling formulations. These consist of mixtures of sulfate-resisting Portland cement, calcium hydroxide and silica fume. However, concerns have been expressed about cement durability in contact with brines. This thesis had as part of its objectives, (i) determination of the probable stability of the non-swelling matrix in MgSO4 brines and (ii) the corrosion potential of stainless steel in contact with the non-swelling cement. In addition, synthesis, characterisation work was performed on the reaction product of objective (i), M-S-H gel. Its alkali sorption capacity was determined as a function of both Mg/Si ratio and alkali concentration to assess its immobilisation potential.

Full textAbstract:
his investigation deals with the influence of hot and temperate curing environments on the hardened properties of concrete and mortar mixes. Condensed silica fume was blended with OPC as a potential alternative cementitious material to plain OPC for use in the hot Iraqi climate, in an attempt to find a cement combination that would overcome some of the durability problems experienced when using a plain OPC concrete in such an environment. Throughout the investigation two curing environments were used: the first simulating the UK temperate climate and the second simulating the hot Iraqi climate. Temperature and humidity were varied to simulate day and night time. The first stage of the experimental study was the development of a mix design method capable of producing an OPC-CSF cement concrete of a medium workability and a specific 28-days compressive strength ranging between 25 to 55 MPa, both with and without superplasticizer. Three grades of concrete strength were chosen (25,40 and 55 MPa) and the effect of four cement replacement levels (5,10,15 and 20%) of silica fume on concrete compressive strength was assessed. Test results showed that CSF was relatively more effective in lean mixes than in rich ones. Compressive strength of CSF concrete increased with increasing CSF percentages for both normal and superplasticized mixes up to an optimum levels of 10-15% and 15-20%, respectively. The amount of OPC (kg/m`3) necessary to bring a change in compressive strength of 1MPa was also determined and the theoritical blend proportions of OPC-CSF necessary to produce 28-day compressive strength equivalent to the plain OPC mixes were determined from the produced data above. The theoretical blend proportions were examined experimentally and the data were used to establish the relationship between strength and water/cementitious ratio for the blend mixes with and, without superplasticizer. Results showed that this basic relationship had changed quantitatively but not qualitatively when CSF was used. A cost study using current OPC and CSF material costs -was performed in an attempt to determine'the- most economic blend proportions. A total of eleven different concrete -mixes were selected to study the effect of curing environment (hot and temperate), initial curing time (0,1,3 and`-7 days) and curing method (water and polythene sheeting) on the compressive strength, permeability and absorption properties of the CSF concretes. Tests were carried out at 3,7, '14, 28,56,90 and 180 days of age. In addition five different mortar, mixes were used to examine the effect of curing environment (temperate and hot) an the *permeability, pore size distribution and durability to magnesium sulphate attack. Test results showed that hot Iraqi curing environment was favourable to the early-age strength, absorption and permeability of plain OPC mixes. However, - the later-age properties were significantly lower than those obtained for concretes cured in a temperate UK environment. For plain OPC mixes a critical curing period of 3 days was found under both temperate and hot environment. For the CSF blend mixes critical curing periods for the temperate and hot environment were found to be 3 and 1 day respectively. Results also reveal the importance of curing specimens immediately after casting for one day. Research work has also confirmed the superiority of water curing over polythene sheeting in a temperate environment for the rich plain OPC and CSF mixes. However, there was no significant difference between water and polythene for lean mixes. The reduction in , permeability and absorption properties of CSF mixes cured in a both temperate and hot environments is thought to be due to the changes in the pore structure brought about by the use of silica fume. Combining CSF with OPC was found to increase the percentages and volume of fine pores at the expense-of coarse pores. This effect may be described as a "refining" effect. Finally, the performance of CSF mortar mixes cured in a temperate and hot environment and their resistance to magnesium sulphate attack was significantly better than the plain OPC ones.

Specimens from 27 batches of concrete with water to cementitious (cement plus silica fume) ratio of 0.25 to 0.32, with and without entrained air, were tested for freeze-thaw durability in accordance with ASTM C666, procedure A (freezing and thawing in water). In addition, another set of similar specimens were moist cured for 28 days instead of 14 days and tested in accordance with ASTM C666 , Procedure A to determine the effect of curing time on the freeze-thaw durability of high strength concrete. Results show that non air-entrained high strength concrete with water cementitious ratio of less than 0.30, regardless of the length of curing time, is frost resistant. Non-air-entrained concrete with water-cement ratio of 0.32 is also durable if silica fume is not used.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
Concrete has the largest production of all man-made materials. Compared with other construction materials, it possesses many advantages including low cost, general availability of raw materials, low energy requirement and utilization under different environmental conditions. Therefore, concrete will continue to be the dominant construction material in the foreseeable future. However, durability of concrete and reinfored concrete structures are still of worldwide concern, so producing a good quality concrete which impedes the ingress of harmful substances into it is of paramount importance. Cement replacement materials have been introduced into concrete mixtures for the purpose of improving the durability performance. Hence, the aim of the present investigation is to study the durability of concrete with and without cement replacement materials under various initial curing conditions. In this thesis various concrete mixes with and without cement replacement materials were considered. The cement replacement materials were, pulverised fuel ash, condensed silica fume, and ground granulated blast furnace slag. Superplasticiser was added to the majority of the mixes considered and air entraining agent to some of the mixes. Various curing regimes were employed which comprised hot dry curing to simulate concrete in the hot arid areas in the world and curing at normal temperature. Curing involved air curing, membrane curing and moist curing for fourteen days followed by air curing. A number of tests were conducted at either one particular age or at various ages. These included tests on porosity and pore structure of pastes obtained by mercury intrusion porosimetry technique, water absorption which covers the water absorption of concrete obtained by shallow immersion and the water absorbed by capillary action when the concrete surface is in contact with water, sulphate resistance of concrete which is performed by immersing the concrete specimens in sulphate solution, and monitoring the change in length at various periods of immersion, chloride penetration profiles of concrete at various ages of exposure. In addition to these tests on durability related properties, tests on compressive strength were also performed. Throughout the study a correlation between pore structure and durability related properties is investigated. A comprehensive compilation of chloride penetration data is made and an empirical expression is derived for the prediction of long term diffusion coefficients. At the end of the investigation, limitations of the present study, conclusions and suggestions for future research are made.

Full textAbstract:
Silicafume (SF) has been used as a partial replacement for cement in concrete and experiments have been carried out to measure the durability of the mixes. The SF mixes were made with 20% SF replacement of cement and waterlcement (wlc) ratios of 0.3 and 0.46. Three different curing conditions were used to simulate different site conditions and tests were carried out at 3,28 and 90 days after casting. The following properties were measuredfor the two SF mixes and the two control (OPC) mixes for each of the ages and curing conditions: corrosion rate of embedded steel by linear polarisation, electrical resistivity, carbonation depth, water vapour permeability, chloride permeability, oxygen permeability and porosity from helium and mercury intrusion. Samples were also investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. The resulting data matrix was analysed by using the method of analysis of variance to quantify the effect of the SF on the properties tested and their sensitivity to age and curing. It was also analysed by multiple regression to identify major effects of one property on another. It was concluded that SF will reduce the corrosion rate and that the major contributing factor is the substantial increase in resistivity that the SF causes. This increase in resistivity was found to be highly sensitive to cold curing in the short term but this effect was not permanent. The cause of the increase in resistivity is believed to be the depletion of calcium hydroxide which is caused by the pozzolanic activity of the SF. The analysis also indicated that the SF reduces the porosity in the .01-.15)1m size range and that this has a major influence on the durability.

Full textAbstract:
The thermal plasma production of fumed silica in a transferred arc consists of the decomposition of quartz to SiO (g) and oxygen followed by an oxidizing quench back to SiO2. The particles formed have diameters of the order of 10 to 20 nm and are linked in a three dimensional branched chain aggregate. Previous work by Addona and Munz (1999) demonstrated the technical feasibility of producing fumed silica using this method, but was unable to demonstrate the special rheological properties of the powder. The most important characteristic of fumed silica is the presence of hydroxyls on the surface of the particles, in the form of isolated hydroxyl groups, hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl groups and siloxane groups.In the present work, we studied the changes in the powder quality by varying the quench conditions used for the production of the powder and by agglomerating the obtained particles. The fumed silica was agglomerated by conveying in a length of tubing with sharp bends. The powder was characterized using BET, Viscosity tests, FT-IR, TEM, SEM and XRD. The product was compared to both a commercial product (Aerosil 200) and the material previously produced by Addona. Tests were done before and after the agglomeration experiments.
The experimental results showed that the agglomeration had no effect on the powder's rheological properties. We concluded that the smaller viscosity values obtained for the plasma produced fumed silica were due to the lack of the free hydroxyl groups from the surface of the particles.

Full textAbstract:
Au regard de son importante résistance mécanique mais surtout de ses capacités de confinement potentielles conférées par une microstructure compacte, le béton s’avère le matériau le plus adapté pour composer la barrière ouvragée de la structure de stockage et l’enrobage de certains déchets radioactifs. La connaissance des propriétés de diffusion et de microstructure de ces matériaux cimentaires sont donc des éléments indispensables à l’étude de leurs durabilités à long terme. Dans un contexte plus particulier de confinement des déchets de faible à moyenne activité, l'utilisation des formulations avec ajout de fumée de silice (FS) s'avère d'une grande importance. La démarche expérimentale consiste d’abord à sélectionner des formulations de pâtes et de mortiers à tester en diffusion HTO. Leurs compositions initiales (rapport e/liant, teneur en FS, teneur en sable et granulométrie du sable) ont été variées de telle façon à balayer des microstructures et des propriétés diffusives différentes, et à voir l’influence de chaque paramètre (eau, FS, teneur et granulométrie du sable) sur l’évolution de la diffusivité au sein de ces matériaux. La microstructure a été investiguée afin d’interpréter les valeurs des coefficients de diffusion obtenus. Différentes techniques complémentaires ont été utilisées pour caractériser cette structure poreuse (porosimétrie à l’eau, au mercure, l’adsorption d’azote,), pour vérifier la réactivité de la FS (ATG, MEB associé à l’EDS), et pour déterminer le profil de porosité au niveau de l’ITZ (MEB associé à l’analyse d’images).Le lien entre les propriétés de la microstructure et le coefficient de diffusion a ensuite été discuté. L’objectif ultime étant de trouver un lien entre les propriétés de la microstructure et les paramètres de transport nous permettant, in fine, à partir d’une simple caractérisation, d’estimer le DeHTO du béton, très difficile à obtenir par l’essai en cellules de diffusion HTO. D’autres tentatives ont également été faites pour essayer d’évaluer ce coefficient de béton, comme la démarche de modélisation multi-échelle (de l’échelle des hydrates au modèle 3D), ou la diffusion d’autres éléments (en l’occurrence ici de gaz O2 et N2).La présente étude montre que des agglomérats de fumée de silice (slurry) observés dans la pâte de ciment et dans le mortier à faible teneur volumique en sable normalisé (ici 10%), impactent les rôles filler et pouzzolanique de la FS et par conséquent les paramètres de durabilité de ces matériaux. Cependant, la présence d’une forte teneur en granulats (>30%) pendant le malaxage du mortier améliore considérablement la dispersion des particules de FS et aide à cisailler et à briser ces agglomérats en fournissant une meilleure homogénéité du mélange et en améliorant les propriétés microstructuraux et diffusionnels. Il a également été montré que l’utilisation de la FS sous forme slurry dans un mélange cimentaire est malgré tout nettement meilleure que la FS densifiée, communément utilisée dans la littérature. Des relations DeHTO et rayon critique, ou DeHTO et porosité accessible au mercure ont était établies et ont permis d’approcher plus ou moins des coefficients de diffusion HTO de bétons avec et sans ajout de FSThanks to its high mechanical strength and its potential containment capacity conferred by a compact microstructure, concrete is considered as the most suitable material to compose the engineered barrier of some radioactive waste storage structure. Knowledge of diffusion properties and microstructure of these cementitious materials is then essential to study their long-term durability. In a more specific context of low and intermediate waste management, the use of formulations containing silica fume (SF) appears of great importance. The experimental approach consists in selecting many formulations of pastes and mortars to test by the HTO through-out diffusion test. Their initial compositions (water to binder ratio, SF content, sand content and particle size) were varied in order to browse different microstructures and diffusion properties, and to see the influence of each parameter (water, SF, content and grain size of sand) on the evolution of diffusivity within these materials. The microstructure was investigated to interpret the obtained values of diffusion coefficients. Different complementary techniques have been used to characterize the porous structure (water and mercury intrusion porosimetry, nitrogen adsorption), to verify SF reactivity (TGA, SEM associated to EDS) or to determine the profile porosity at ITZ (SEM combined with image analysis).The relationship between microstructure and diffusion coefficients (DeHTO) was then discussed. The ultimate goal was to find a link between microstructure properties and transport parameters to estimate from a simple characterization, the DeHTO of concrete, difficult to get from HTO diffusion cells test. Other attempts have also been made to try to assess the concrete diffusion coefficient, such as the multi-scale modeling approach (the scale of hydrates 3D model), or the diffusion of other elements ( like oxygen or nitrogen).This study shows that silica fume agglomerates (slurry) observed in cement paste and mortar with low standardized sand content (10%), impact the filler and pozzolanic roles of the SF and therefore sustainability parameters of these materials. On the other side, the presence of high aggregates content (> 30%) during mortar’s mixing greatly improves the dispersion of SF particles and helps shearing these agglomerates by providing better homogeneity of the mixture and enhancing microstructural and diffusional properties. It was also shown that the use of the SF as a slurry form in a cementitious mixture is still significantly better than the use of the densified FS, commonly used in the literature. Relations between the DeHTO and the critical pore radius, or the DeHTO and mercury porosity have been established and helped to estimate more or less the HTO diffusion coefficients of two concretes with or without SF

Full textAbstract:
Construction and demolition waste concrete has dramatically increased worldwide in the last decade. The social and environmental concerns on recycling of these wastes have consequently increased substantially. Recent technology has greatly improved the recycling process for construction and demolition waste concrete. The current study presents the results of a laboratory study on the performance of portland cement concrete prepared by incorporating different mineral admixtures i.e., silica fume (SF) and meta-kaolin (MK) with natural coarse aggregate (NCA) from quarry and recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) from old concrete pavements. The silica fume (SF) and meta-kaolin (MK) were used as a partial replacement of ordinary portland cement. Natural aggregate was replaced with 100% recycled concrete coarse aggregate by volume. In the present investigation, silica fumes (SF) and meta-kaolin (MK) replacement were 0%, 5.0% individually and few combination of SF and MK. A fixed air entraining admixture (AEA) i.e., 5% and water to cement (w/c) ratio of 0.42 was used to study the effect of the SF and MK on concrete mix. To maintain a desired slump for workability of the concrete mix, a super plasticizer (SP) was also used. All the concrete mixes used 605 lb. of ordinary portland cement per cubic yard. Concrete mix specimens were tested for compressive strength after curing periods of 7, 14, 28 days; splitting tensile strength after curing for 28 days; and flexural strength test after curing for 14 and 28 days. The aim of the study was to design a concrete mix with 100% recycled concrete aggregate with the addition of meta-kaolin (MK) and silica fumes (SF) that has strength equal or greater than the strength of concrete prepared with 100% natural aggregate. Among all tests performed, a combination of 5% meta-kaolin (MK) and 5% silica fumes (SF) mixture with 100% natural coarse aggregate showed better results as compared with the mixture used 100% recycled concrete aggregate. For the same combination of MK and SF, 100% recycled concrete showed highest strength. Results also show that the use of 5% meta-kaolin (MK) and 5% silica fumes (SF) with natural or recycle aggregate showed highest compressive, tensile, and flexural strength compared with concrete mixes prepared without meta-kaolin (MK) and silica fume (SF). With different percentages of SF and MK, the compressive strength for NCA and RCA concrete has increased in the range between 7 to 17% and 4 to 12%, respectively after curing for 28 days. The increase of tensile strength with different percentages of SF and MK ranged between 3 to 10% for NCA concrete and 1 to 4% for RCA concrete after curing for 28 days. Also, the flexural strength result has increased with different percentages of SF and MK in the range between 19 to 40% for NCA concrete and 14 to 25% for RCA concrete after curing for 28 days. Hence, by using mineral admixture or supplementary materials i.e., MK and SF, it was possible to achieve higher mechanical properties of the recycled concrete aggregate containing 100% recycled aggregate.

Full textAbstract:
Two metakaolins were evaluated for use as supplementary cementitious materials in cement-based systems. The metakaolins varied in their surface area (11.1 v. 25.4 m2/g), but were quite similar in mineralogical composition. Performance of metakaolin mixtures was compared to control mixtures and to mixtures incorporating silica fume as partial replacement for cement at water-to-cementitious materials ratios of 0.40, 0.50, and 0.60. In this study, the early age properties of fresh concrete and the mechanical and durability properties of hardened concrete were examined. Early age evaluations aimed to determine the reactivity of metakaolin (heat of hydration) and its effect on mixture workability (slump, setting time, unit weight). In addition, three types of shrinkage were monitored in metakaolin-cement systems: chemical, autogenous, and free. Compressive, tensile, and flexural strength and elastic modulus were measured at various concrete ages. The influence of metakaolin addition on durability was assessed through accelerated testing for sulfate resistance, expansion due to alkali-silica reaction, and through rapid chloride permeability measurements.
To further quantify the underlying mechanisms of metakaolin's action, the microstructure of pastes was examined. Calcium hydroxide (CH) content was determined using thermogravimetric analysis and verified using differential thermal analysis. Surface area and pore size distribution were evaluated via nitrogen adsorption. These analyses yielded information about the pozzolanic reactivity of metakaolin, associated CH consumption and pore structure refinement, and resulting improvements in mechanical performance and durability of metakaolin-concretes.

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of curing and mix design parameters, such as cement content and water to cementitious materials ratio, on the strength and durability characteristics of plain and silica fume cements exposed to a hot-marine environment. Specifically, the effect of curing and mix design parameters on chloride diffusion, shrinkage and carbonation of cement mortar specimens exposed to a hot-marine environment was evaluated. The results indicated that high water to cement ratio significantly influenced the durability performance of concrete through: (1) accelerating chloride diffusion and carbonation, (2) increasing the shrinkage and weight loss, and (3) reducing the compressive strength. Similarly, increasing the cement content increased the shrinkage for a given w/c ratio. However, the chloride diffusion and carbonation were minimized and strength was enhanced due to increasing cement content. The mix design parameters, namely, water-cement ratio and cement content significantly influenced the performance of both Type I and Type V cements, while the influence of these parameters on the performance of silica fume cements was insignificant. Although Type I cement mortars performed better than Type V cement mortars, the performance of silica fume cement was the best in terms of reduced chloride diffusion, carbonation and shrinkage, and enhanced strength. The beneficial effects of silica fume cements, were however, only evident in specimens subjected to good curing. Therefore, to extend the useful service-life of reinforced concrete structures exposed to hot-marine environments, the following mix design is recommended: (i) cement content should not be less than 350kg/m3; (ii) Type I cement with 10% silica fume; (iii) water to cementitious materials ratio of not more than 0.45; (iv) good curing.

Resumo
Resumo: O gesso é um aglomerante que tem sido muito empregado em revestimento de paredes. Apresenta um bom desempenho, é econômico e de fácil aplicação, mas limitado ao uso interno devido a sua sensibilidade à água. Algumas tentativas têm sido realizadas para melhorar a sua utilização em ambientes sujeitos à umidade. Neste sentido, pesquisas avançam na tentativa de empregar diferentes adições como resinas epóxi, polímeros, cimentos, escórias, impermeabilizantes, entre outros. O objetivo desta tese foi avaliar o desempenho das misturas de gesso com cimento Portland de Alto Forno e sílica ativa nos revestimentos internos e externos sujeitos à umidade. Para isso verificaram-se as propriedades macroscópicas das misturas por meio de ensaios físicos, químicos, físico-químicos e também a avaliação microestrutural utilizando a microscopia eletrônica de varredura. As misturas foram aplicadas em revestimentos de painéis de alvenaria de blocos de concreto e observados visualmente por um período de cinco anos. Além da observação visual foi verificada a resistência de aderência das misturas aplicadas internamente e externamente. Dos resultados obtidos observou-se uma possível coexistência entre o gesso e o cimento e que a adição de sílica ativa na mistura reduz a formação de etringita, principalmente nos revestimentos externos, sujeitos à umidade. A adição de cimento Portland melhora na abrasão e perda de massa, mesmo em idades mais avançadas. Assim, devido ao elevado custo de algumas adições, e as dificuldades de trabalhar com outros tipos de adição na obra, a adição de cimento Portland e sílica ativa ao gesso permitem uma melhoria de resistência, obtendo um revestimento de baixo custo e de fácil manuseio.

Abstract: Plaster of Paris is a binding material being used in masonry as a plaster finish coat. Despite being economical, having good performance as and ease with wich it is applied in building, its use is limited to indoors. Some attempts has been made to improve its performance in external environment. In that sense, researches advance in the attempt at using several admixtures like epoxy resins, polymers, cements slags, waterproofing materials among other things. The objective of this thesis is to assess the performance of certain mixtures of rendering material containing plaster of Paris, slag cement and condensed silica fume when applied in the internal and external plaster finish coat. The macroscopic properties of the mixtures were analyzed through physical and chemical tests and also in SEM. Mixtures were applied on coatings of brick and mortar and visually inspected within five years. Bond strengths of the mixtures were measured, both in internal and external walls. Results showed compatibility between plaster of Paris and slag cement and that presence of condensed silica fume in the mixture reduced the formation of etringite, especially in the external coatings. The addition of Portland blastfurnace slag cement reduced the abrasion and the loss of mass, even in older ages. Therefore, due to the high cost of some admixtures, and the difficulty in working with other kinds of admixtures in the construction sites, the mentioned additions to the plaster rendering allow a mechanical strength improvement, thus resulting in low cost and good workability of the plaster finish coat.

Concrete is the most broadly used material in construction worldwide and Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC, a type of ultra high performance concrete) is a relatively new member of the concrete family. In this work the critical parameters of RPC mix design are investigated and the mix design is explored through a program of concrete casting and testing. Owing to the enhanced microstructure of RPC, porosity and permeability can be significantly decreased in the concrete matrix. This benefits the durability characteristics of RPC elements resulting in a longer service life with less maintenance costs than conventional concrete. It has been used for high integrity radiation waste material containers because of its low permeability and durability. Fibre reinforced RPC is also ideal for use in long span and thin shell structural elements without traditional reinforcement because of its advantageous flexural strength. Moreover, due to improved impact resistance, RPC can be widely employed in piers of bridges, military construction and blast protection. There is no standard approach to assessing the impact resistance of concrete. This investigation utilises relatively well accepted impact equipment to evaluate the mechanical properties of RPC under dynamic loading. The compressive and flexural tensile strengths of plain and fibre reinforced RPC are investigated using a variety of specimens and apparatus. The dynamic increase factor (DIF) is evaluated to indicate the strain rate sensitivity of the compressive and flexural strength.

Devido à preocupação com a durabilidade das estruturas de concreto armado surgiram novas linhas de pesquisa destacando-se, dentre elas, a previsão de vida útil. Estes estudos deram origem a diversos modelos que tentam estabelecer o comportamento do concreto quando exposto a ambientes agressivos durante um determinado período. Existem várias maneiras de se modelar este comportamento: com base em resultados obtidos em experiências anteriores; a partir de ensaios de degradação acelerados; por métodos determinísticos e probabilísticos ou estocásticos. A estimativa de vida útil das estruturas de concreto empregando dados de ensaios acelerados é recomendada pela ASTM E-632 (1996) desde que estes sejam correlacionados com resultados de ensaios não acelerados ou naturais. A correlação entre estes ensaios possibilita a determinação dos coeficientes de aceleração, os quais expressam o número de vezes em que o ensaio acelerado representa o fenômeno de degradação natural. Dentro deste contexto o presente trabalho avalia a carbonatação do concreto com e sem adição de sílica ativa exposto a degradação natural e acelerada, verificando também a influência do teor desta adição e da relação água/aglomerante na carbonatação. Em paralelo foram determinados os coeficientes de carbonatação (kc) e de aceleração (αa). Os concretos estudados possuem relação água/aglomerante de 0,30; 0,35; 0,45; 0,60 e 0,80 e teor de adição de 0; 5; 10; 15e 20%. A carbonatação natural das amostras foi avaliada após 7 anos de exposição ao CO2, tendo como ambiente de degradação a cidade de Porto Alegre, RS. Os dados de carbonatação acelerada foram obtidos aos 7, 28, 63 e 98 dias de exposição ao CO2 com concentração de 5%, temperatura de 25°C e umidade relativa (UR) de 70%. Para o ensaio acelerado, baseado em análise estatística por meio de regressão múltipla não-linear, os resultados apontaram que a adição de sílica ativa em dosagens com relação água/aglomerante elevada aumenta a profundidade de carbonatação do concreto. Para a relação água/aglomerante de 0,80 com 0 e 20% de adição de sílica ativa, os coeficientes de aceleração obtidos foram de 31,15 e 35,49, respectivamente.New researches has been appeared with the concern of reinforced concrete structures durability, standing out the service life prediction. These studies creates some models that establish the concrete performance when exposed to an aggressive environment. There are several ways to modeling this performance: with results obtained in previous tests; with accelerated degradation tests; or deterministic and stochastic methods. The concrete structures service life prediction using short term test data are recommended by ASTM E-632 (1996) since these are correlated with long term test results. The correlation among these tests makes possible the acceleration coefficient determination, which express how the accelerated tests represents the natural degradation phenomenon. In this sense, this work evaluate the concrete carbonation with and without silica fume exposed to natural and accelerated test, verifying the influence of silica fume tenor in this material and water – binder ratio in the carbonation. In addition to this, were determined the carbonation (kc) and acceleration coefficients (αa). The concretes studied has a 0,30; 0,35; 0,45; 0,60 and 0,80 water-binder ratio and 0; 5; 10; 15 and 20% addition tenor. The samples natural carbonation was analyzed after 7 years of CO2 exhibition from Porto Alegre city environment degradation. The accelerated carbonation data were obtained in 7, 28, 63 and 98 days of CO2 exhibition with 5% concentration, temperature of 20°C and humidity of 60%. In accelerated tests, based on statistical analysis through nonlinear estimation multiple regression, the results showed that the silica fume addition in high water-binder ratio mixtures increases the concrete carbonation depth. For water-binder ratio 0,80 with silica fume addition of 0 and 20%, the acceleration coefficients obtained were 31,15 and 35,49, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Alguns materiais, constituídos quase que exclusivamente por sílica, são empregados, de forma suplementar ao cimento Portland, por promoverem melhorias ao concreto, devido aos seus efeitos físicos e pozolânicos, além de atenderem a questões ambientais. No entanto, essa sílica pode gerar produtos indesejados na presença de álcalis, sendo este fenômeno conhecido como reação álcali sílica (RAS). Na presença de água, esses produtos são capazes de expandir no interior da massa de concreto, provocando fissuras internas e externas e, em casos mais graves, a degradação do elemento estrutural. Com a finalidade de evitar essa manifestação patológica, o presente trabalho propõe-se avaliar o potencial reativo frente à RAS da sílica ativa e dois tipos de cinzas da casca do arroz (CCA), uma comercial e outra residual. Nessa investigação foram adotados os teores de 5 a 50 %, utilizados como substituição parcial ao cimento Portland padrão. Os métodos de ensaio adotados nesta pesquisa foram o método acelerado em barras de argamassa segundo a NBR 15577 - 4/5, e dois novos métodos acelerados (cubos de pasta e prismas). O métodos acelerado em cubos de pasta avaliou a resistência à compressão, enquanto o método em prismas de pasta avaliou a variação dimensional. Os resultados obtidos em barras de argamassa apontaram que ambas as CCA investigadas, foram reativos frente à RAS. No entanto, o teor de 50 %, em ambas as CCA, se mostrou inócuo para essa reação. A sílica ativa foi considerada inócua em todos os teores avaliados. O aditivo superplastificante empregado não foi eficiente em reduzir a expansão provocada pela CCA. Os ensaios que avaliaram a expansão em prismas de pasta apresentaram uma ótima correlação positiva com o método normalizado em barras de argamassa. Nos prismas de pasta com 25 % de CCA industrial foram identificados os compostos franzinite, chessexite e thaumasite. Estes compostos apresentaram morfologia de acículas ora tortuosas ora delgadas e retilíneas compondo todas as amostras coletadas dessa pasta. A análise termogravimétrica apontou o alto poder adsorvente de água dessa pasta. Em conclusão, o ensaio em prismas de pastas a 48°C com 1,25 % de Na2Oeq demonstrou ser um método prático laboratorialmente e apresentou um grande potencial para avaliar os materiais suplementares ao cimento Portland frente a RAS, além de facilitar identificação dos produtos que provocaram expansão.Some materials, consisting almost exclusively for silica, are employed, supplementary form to Portland cement, for promoting improvements to concrete, due to their physical and pozzolanic effects and environmental issues. However, this silica may generate unwanted products in presence of alkalis. This phenomenon is known as alkali-silica reaction (ASR). In the presence of water, these products are able to expand inside concrete, generating internal and external cracks and, in severe cases, structural element degradation. In order to prevent this pathologic manifestation, the aim of the present study was to evaluate reactive potential in ASR of fume silica and two types of rice husk ash (RHA), a manufacturing and residual. Levels of 5 to 50 % were used as partial replacement to standard Portland cement. In the present study, accelerated method in mortar bars according to NBR 15577 - 4/5 and two new accelerated methods (pastes cubes and prisms) were used. Accelerated method in paste cubes evaluated compressive strength, while method in paste prims evaluated dimensional change. Results in mortar bars demonstrated, both RHA, were reactive to ASR. However, level of 50 %, both RHA, was innocuous to ASR. Fume silica was innocuous to ASR at all levels evaluated. Superplasticizer additive was not effective to reduce to expansion caused by RHA. In the cubes assay was possible to evaluate the reactive potential to ASR by analysis of variation coefficient. Results demonstrated a positive correlation between expansion in paste prism and standard method in mortar bars. In the paste prism with 25 % of RHA manufacturing were identified compounds of franzinite, chessexite and thaumasite. These compounds presented morphology of needles sometimes tortuous and sometimes thin and straight in all samples. Thermogravimetric analysis showed the high adsorbent power of water in this paste. In conclusion, paste prims assay at 48ºC with Na2Oeq 1.25 % demonstrated to be a practical laboratory method and presented a great potential to evaluate additional material to Portland cement in front of ARS, and this assay facilitates the identifications of products that cause expansion.

Apesar de suas excelentes características técnicas e estéticas, a aplicação de porcelanato em fachadas requer especial atenção devido ser um material diferente das cerâmicas convencionais, além de que as fachadas estão sujeitas a diversos agentes capazes de danificar os revestimentos cerâmicos. O baixo índice de absorção de água do porcelanato é a principal causa da perda ou falta de aderência entre o tardoz e a argamassa colante, pois não permite o mecanismo de aderência mecânica existente nas cerâmicas porosas. O presente trabalho visa o estudo de argamassas com adições de látex base estireno acrílico e sílica ativa para o assentamento de porcelanato em fachadas a fim de evitar o aparecimento de patologias decorrentes da falta de aderência. Foram realizados ensaios normalizados para a avaliação das propriedades das argamassas quanto à fixação do porcelanato, além de procedimentos experimentais para a avaliação da microestrutura tais como análises térmicas, difração de raios-X, porosimetria por intrusão de mercúrio, espectroscopia de infravermelho e microscopia eletrônica de varredura associada à espectrografia por dispersão de energia. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a adição combinada de polímero e sílica ativa às argamassas resultou em elevadas propriedades mecânicas e alta resistência de aderência, decorrentes da melhora das propriedades microestruturais, ou seja, aumento da compacidade, diminuição da porosidade e refinamento do diâmetro médio dos poros, além da redução na quantidade do hidróxido de cálcio consumido para a produção de silicato de cálcio hidratado.Despite the excellent characteristics of porcelain tiles, their application in building facades requires special attention, since this material differs from conventional ceramics and facades are exposed to weathering, which can damage ceramic revetments. The lower water absorption of porcelain tiles is the main cause of the poor adherence between them, as it prevents the mechanical interlocking adherence mechanism that occurs when more porous ceramic materials are applied. The present thesis aims to investigate the effect of silica fume and acrylic polymer together on the properties of mortars employed to install porcelain stoneware tiles to avoid detachment problems due to lack of adherence. An experimental investigation evaluated the fixing properties of the mortars, and a microstructural study including thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, mercury intrusion porosimetry, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy was performed. The results showed that silica fume and acrylic polymer addition to the mortar resulted in improved properties to fix porcelain stoneware tiles, mainly adherence strength, as a consequence of the microstructural improvement due to the decrease in the porosity and the pore mean diameter, and the decrease in the calcium hydroxide to form hydrated calcium silicate

A ligação entre concretos com cimento Portland de diferentes idades, composições e resistências é um dos problemas da tecnologia dos concretos estruturais. A continuidade desta ligação é prejudicada por uma diversidade de fatores que implicam desde a retomada de uma concretagem (junta fria) até a recuperação de estruturas de concreto deterioradas. Sob esse ponto de vista apresenta−se neste trabalho uma análise do comportamento de um sistema de reparos aplicados à recuperação de estruturas, ligações concretos velhos x concretos novos (caso das ampliações) e continuidades de concretagens. Um dos pontos mais frágeis de uma estrutura é a zona de interface, tanto dos materiais que a compõe quanto da transição entre os diferentes concretos. Utilizou−se como substrato corpos−de−prova prismáticos executados com concretos (fck=15MPa, 18MPa, 21MPa, 25MPa, 30MPa, 40MPa e 50MPa), que após ruptura completa através de ensaios de tração na flexão foi posteriormente executada ligação com concretos de reparo, e corpos−de−prova cilíndricos de concretos convencionais apresentando ninhos de concretagem. Com a finalidade de melhorar a zona de transição citada, utilizou−se como sistema de reparo, concretos de elevado desempenho executados com cimento Portland CP V ARI RS − NBR 5733⁄NBR 5737 − ABNT, agregados: miúdo de origem quartzosa, e graúdo de Dmáx ≤ 6,3 mm de origem basáltica, adições de sílica ativa (Fe−Si) de 5%, 10% e 15% e aditivo superplastificante de pega normal em teores de 1,5%, 1,8% e 2,0%, após prévio tratamento, através de desbaste superficial e imprimação com pastas de cimento de elevado desempenho. A eficácia da ligação é percebida principalmente pelo fato de que em resultados de ensaios de tração na flexão do corpo−de−prova prismático recuperado a ruptura ocorreu, em quase 100% dos casos na região do concreto velho. Em ensaios de compressão axial com corpos−de−prova cilíndricos com ninhos de concretagem recuperados, percebeu−se através do modo de ruptura, que as transferências de tensões ocorreram normalmente através do sistema de reparo, sem que houvesse desvio de tensões, além de um acréscimo de resistência em alguns casos.The bonding among Portland cement concrete of different ages, compositions and resistances is one of the technological problems of structural concretes. The continuity of this connection is harmed by a several factors from the re−starting of a casting (cold joint) to the recovery of deteriorated concrete structures. From this point of view this paper presents an analysis of the behavior of a repair system applied to the recovery of structures, new−to−old concrete bonding (amplification cases) and casting continuities. One of the most fragile points of a concrete structure is the interface zone, of both materials that compose it and the transition among the different concretes. Prismatic specimens executed with concretes (fck=15MPa, 18MPa, 21MPa, 25 MPa, 30 MPa, 40 MPa and 50 MPa), were used as substratum after a previous complete rupture through a flexural strength test for a further connection, with repair concrete as a bond link, and cylindrical specimens of conventional concretes presenting intentionally \"holes\". High−performance concretes with Portland cement CP V ARI RS (NBR 5733⁄NBR 5737 − ABNT), small quartz aggregates, basaltic coarse aggregates with Dmáx ≤ 6,3mm, silica fume (Fe−Si) additions of 5%, 10% and 15%, and normal setting superplasticizer with contents of 1,5%, 1,8% and 2,0% were used as repair system to improve the transition zone mentioned. Such materials were used after the specimens had been treated superficially and primed with High−performance Portland cement paste. The effectiveness of the connection is noticed mainly by the fact that in results of the flexural strength test of recovered prismatic specimens, the rupture occurred in almost 100% of the cases in the area of the old concrete. In axial compression tests with cylindrical specimens presenting recovered \"holes\", the rupture way demonstrated that the transfers of tensions usually occurred through the repair system, with no tension deviation, and there was a resistance increase in some cases.

O uso de adições minerais no concreto como substituição parcial ao cimento Portland ajuda a preservar os recursos naturais poupando a matéria-prima, reduzindo o consumo de energia necessária para a produção do cimento e reciclando rejeitos que se lançados no meio ambiente causariam problemas ambientais e de saúde pública. A adição mineral que vem tendo muito destaque devido à sua alta reatividade, considerada por vários pesquisadores como uma superpozolana, é a sílica ativa (SA), um subproduto da fabricação de silício metálico ou ligas de ferro-silício. A sílica ativa se caracteriza por uma elevada finura e alta área específica e um alto teor de sílica vítrea, estes fatores somados garantem à SA a alta reatividade com o hidróxido de cálcio, transformando-o em silicato de cálcio hidratado. A casca do arroz vem sendo pesquisada como uma fonte alternativa de sílica ativa. A sílica ativa extraída da casca de arroz contém um alto teor de SiO2 e, dependendo do processo de extração, possui propriedades adequadas para a utilização na confecção de concretos de elevado desempenho. Este trabalho visa estudar a atividade pozolânica da sílica da casca de arroz produzida no laboratório de materiais avançados à base de cimento. Para avaliar as características das sílicas, foram realizados ensaios tanto para determinação das suas propriedades físicas quanto para a determinação de sua composição química e pozolanicidade. Os ensaios realizados foram:composição química, pozolanicidade (método Chapelle modificado), área superficial B.E.T., distribuição granulométrica, distribuição do tamanho de partículas via MEV, amorficidade (por difratometria de raio X), massa específica e determinação do índice de atividade pozolânica com cimento Portland (NBR-5752). Os ensaios de caracterização demonstraram que a sílica da casca de arroz possui um alto grau de amorficidade e elevada área superficial, que garantiram uma maior reatividade nas idades iniciais, porém em idades avançadas apresentou a mesma eficiência que a sílica de ferro-silício.The use of mineral additions in concrete in order to partially replace Portland cement helps to protect natural resources by saving raw material, reducing energy consumption in cement production and recycling industrial waste that could otherwise cause environmental and public health hazards. One mineral addition that has drawn considerable attention due to its high reactivity is silica fume (SF), a byproduct of the manufacturing process of metallic silicon or iron-silicon alloys and considered by many researchers as a superpozzolan. Silica fume is characterizated by high fineness, high specific area and high content of vitreous silica. The sum of these factors provides SF high reactivity with calcium hydroxide, which is transformed into hydrated calcium silicate. Rice husk ash has also been investigated as an alternative source of silica fume. The silica from rice husk ash contains a high percentage of SiO2 and, depending on the extraction process, has adequate properties to be employed in the manufacturing of high-performance concrete. The objective of this work is to study the pozzolanic activity of silica from rice husk ash produced at the Laboratório de Materiais Avançados à Base de Cimento. In order to evaluate the characteristics of silica samples from rice husk, assays were performed to determine their physical properties as well as their chemical composition and pozzolanicity. The assays performed were: chemical composition,pozzolanicity (modified Chapelle method), B.E.T. surface area method, granulometric distribution, particle size distribution by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), amorphicity by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), specific mass and pozzolanic activity index determination with Portland cement (NBR-5752). The characterization assays showed that the silica from rice husk ash has a high amorphicity level and a high surface area, which yield higher reactivity at initial ages. However, at advanced ages it pesented the same efficiency as that of silica from iron-silicon.

A tecnologia dos materiais a base de cimento Portland vem se desenvolvendo rapidamente, onde a melhoria das propriedades mecânicas vem sendo alcançada, eliminando os agregados graúdos e estudando a composição granulométrica da mistura, procurando preencher os vazios utilizando materiais finos e ultrafinos, como pó de quartzo e a sílica ativa. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivos: desenvolver concreto de pós reativos com resistência à compressão próxima de 200 MPa e módulo de elasticidade acima de 45 GPa; propor uma relação constitutiva para o material, considerando o volume de fibras; especificar as deformações máximas na tração e na compressão; e verificar a influência das fibras nas resistências à compressão e à tração na flexão. Para isso, foi utilizado o método de empacotamento das partículas sólidas, com o intuito de definir composições granulométricas, e desenvolveu-se técnicas necessárias para a moldagem, adensamento e cura térmica. A análise experimental compreendeu o estudo das seguintes propriedades: resistência à compressão, módulo de elasticidade, resistência à tração na flexão, deformações e ductilidade. As fibras metálicas melhoraram as propriedades mecânicas e aumentaram a ductilidade do concreto. A temperatura de cura e o tempo de submissão ao tratamento térmico, tornou o material mais resistente. A deformação específica máxima na compressão foi definida experimentalmente como 4,3%. O limite elástico para as deformações de tração ficou em 0,28%. Foi proposta uma relação constitutiva para tensões de compressão, que pode ser utilizada para concretos de pós reativos, com resistência à compressão próxima de 200 MPa e taxa de fibras até 4% em volume. Os resultados obtidos indicam que o concreto de pós reativos desenvolvido apresentou altas resistências à compressão e à tração na flexão, onde a microestrutura do material mostrou-se com baixíssima porosidade e interface pasta - agregado praticamente suprimida. A tecnologia desenvolvida nesta pesquisa pode ser considerada um grande avanço na tecnologia de materiais a base de cimento Portland que, com maiores aperfeiçoamentos, espera-se a aplicação desse material em situações que tirem proveito das excelentes propriedades mecânicas e durabilidadeThe technology of Portland cement materials has developed quickly, where the improvement of the mechanical properties has been reached, eliminating the coarse aggregates and studying the granular mixture, in order to fill the emptiness with fine and ultra-fine materials, like crushed quartz and silica fume. The present paper aimed: develop reactive powder concrete with compressive strength close to 200 MPa and module of elasticity above 45 GPa; propose a strength x strain relationship in compression for the material considering the volume of fibers; specify the maximum strain in the traction and in the compression; and to verify the influence of the fibers in the compression strength and in the bending strength. It went using the method of packing of the solid particles to define the grain size distribution, and necessary techniques were developed for the preparation and thermal cure. The experimental analysis understood the study of the following properties: compression strength, module of elasticity, bending strength, strain and ductility. The metallic fibers improved the mechanical properties and they increased the ductility of the concrete. The cure temperature and the time of submission to the thermal treatment, improved the compression strength. The maximum strain in the compression was defined experimentally as 4,3%. The elastic limit for the traction strain was 0,28%. A strength x strain relationship in compression was proposed, and can be used in reactive powders concrete, with compression strength of around 200 MPa and rate of fibers of up to 4% of volume. The results indicate that the reactive powders concrete developed presented excellent compression strength and bending strength, and the material presented a microestrutura with low porosity. The technology developed in this research can be considered a great progress in the technology of materials with Portland cement, and the application of that material is expected in situations that use advantage of the excellent mechanical properties and durability

Brazil's current water crisis, generated by the low level of reservoirs, has threatened the national energy production. Faced with this problem, the wind towers present themselves as a viable solution. It is known that these towers are constructed in regions of high aggressiveness and therefore, it is necessary to develop high performance concretes that are able to withstand environmental action to which they are submitted, so that these structures reach the lifespan previously defined in project, ensuring the viability of the towers. In this sense, the present study evaluates the mass transport mechanisms (permeability and absorption) that takes place inside the concrete containing mineral pozzolanic admixtures of high performance, in order to evaluate the influence of the presence of these additions in these properties. Three different study mixes were prepared containing, respectively, 9% of silica fume in composition with 1% of nanossílica, 5% of a metakaolin with high fineness in composition with 5% of a metakaolin slightly less fine, both with high pozzolanic activity, a mix containing only 10% of the metakaolin with higher fineness, and a reference proportioning. The analysis presented in this work involve the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to characterize the internal structure of the material, the trace reconstruction test to analyze the aggregate/binder ratio in the regions of the cover and the interior of concrete, and the analyzes related to the mass transport: water absorption by immersion and capillarity and the air permeability obtained by the Figg’s method, in addition to the mechanical characterization. The concrete with addition of pozzolanic admixtures showed significant improvements in compressive strength, in the modulus of elasticity, in the air permeability and in the refinement of pores. Furthermore, the evaluation of the microstructure by scanning electron microscope showed that the use of mineral admixtures may cause an improvement in the adhesion and in the densification of the transition zone between aggregate and cement paste. The trace reconstitution test showed that the concrete cover has lower ratio aggregate/binder, which corroborates the results of the capillary absorption test in which it was found that the cover of concrete presents a mean capillarity absorption lower than the interior region. Thus, it was concluded that the incorporation of the different mineral admixtures studied in this work significantly alter the properties of concrete, with positive emphasis on the properties related to the durability, in which the benefits of using mineral admixtures is more pronounced and, in addition, it was also concluded that the concrete cover presents itself more favorable to the durability than the interior region.
A atual crise hídrica brasileira, gerada pelo baixo nível dos reservatórios, tem ameaçado a produção energética nacional. Frente a esse problema, as torres eólicas se apresentam como uma solução viável. Sabe-se que essas torres são construídas em regiões de alta agressividade e, portanto, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de concretos de alto desempenho que sejam capazes de resistir às ações ambientais às quais são submetidos de maneira que essas estruturas atinjam a vida útil de projeto previamente definida, garantindo a viabilidade das torres. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho avalia as propriedades mecânicas e os mecanismos de transporte de massa (permeabilidade e absorção) que ocorrem no interior dos concretos que contêm adições minerais pozolânicas de alto desempenho, com o intuito de avaliar a influência da presença dessas adições nessas propriedades. Foram elaborados três diferentes proporcionamentos de estudo contendo respectivamente, 9% de sílica ativa em composição com 1% de nanossílica, 5% de um metacaulim de elevada finura em composição com 5% de um metacaulim um pouco menos fino, ambos de elevada pozolanicidade e um proporcionamento contendo exclusivamente 10% do metacaulim de maior finura, além de um proporcionamento de referência. São apresentadas análises em microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV) visando à caracterização da estrutura interna do material, reconstituição de traço com vistas à análise do teor de agregado/ligante nas regiões do cobrimento e do interior do concreto, análises relacionadas ao transporte de massa: absorção de água por imersão e por capilaridade e permeabilidade ao ar pelo método de Figg, além da caracterização mecânica. Os concretos com incorporação de adição pozolânica apresentaram melhorias significativas na resistência à compressão, no módulo de elasticidade, na permeabilidade ao ar e no refinamento dos poros. Além disso, a avaliação da microestrutura por meio de microscopia eletrônica de varredura mostrou que o uso das adições minerais pode ter causado densificação e melhoria na aderência da zona de transição entre os agregados e a pasta de cimento. O ensaio de reconstituição de traço mostrou que a região do cobrimento apresenta menor relação agregado/ligante, o que corrobora o resultado do ensaio de absorção capilar, em que se constatou que a região do cobrimento apresentou absorção capilar média inferior à região do interior. Assim, se concluiu que a incorporação das diferentes adições minerais estudadas no presente trabalho alterou significativamente as propriedades do concreto, com destaque positivo para as propriedades associadas à durabilidade, nas quais os benefícios do uso da adição mineral são mais pronunciados e, além disso, também se concluiu que a região do cobrimento se apresenta mais favorável à durabilidade que a região interna.

Atualmente, um dos principais problemas ligados às estruturas de concreto armado é a corrosão da armadura, especialmente devido à ação dos íons cloreto. Sua incidência no contexto das principais manifestações patológicas encontradas nas construções é bastante significativa, chegando a atingir índices de 50% em algumas regiões brasileiras. Além disso, o custo do reparo ou da reabilitação das estruturas deterioradas, em alguns casos, pode ser superior ao de uma estrutura nova. Com o objetivo de aumentar a vida útil das estruturas de concreto e diminuir o índice de ocorrência da corrosão de armaduras, esta pesquisa verifica o comportamento de concretos com adições minerais quanto à eficiência na proteção do aço contra a corrosão induzida por íons cloreto, em relação ao concreto sem adição. Para a produção dos concretos de alto desempenho (CAD), foram utilizados dois tipos de adições: a sílica de Fe-Si ou silício metálico (SFS), já comercialmente disponível, e a sílica extraída da casca de arroz (SCA), produzida em laboratório. Assim, além de proporcionar uma barreira física à entrada de agentes agressivos na camada de cobrimento, a utilização desses concretos contribui para a diminuição da poluição ambiental, uma vez que as adições estudadas são resíduos. Para tanto, foram realizados ensaios mecânicos e relacionados à durabilidade, tais como: absorção de água, resistência à penetração de cloretos, frente de penetração, teor total de cloretos e resistividade elétrica dos concretos. Na análise do processo de corrosão, duas técnicas foram empregadas: potencial de corrosão e espectroscopia por impedância eletroquímica. Em relação à microestrutura, foram realizados ensaios de porosimetria por intrusão de mercúrio, difratometria de raios X, termogravimetria e microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Os resultados obtidos no controle da corrosão pelo ataque de íons cloreto foram favoráveis ao uso das adições em substituição ao cimento Portland, uma vez que os concretos com adições superam os resultados obtidos nos concretos sem sílica (ainda que a SFS tenha proporcionado melhor desempenho em algumas propriedades), indicando alta capacidade dos CAD em proteger o aço frente à ação de íons cloreto. Dentre os tipos de cimento utilizados, o CP V ARI RS mostrou-se mais eficiente que o CP V ARI Plus, bem como apresentou melhor sinergia com a SCA. A técnica de espectroscopia eletroquímica pode ser utilizada em CAD, porém deve-se minimizar os efeitos da alta resistividade do material, especialmente quando se utiliza a SFS.Nowadays, one of the main problems in reinforced concrete structures is steel corrosion, especially due to the action of chloride ions. Its incidence among the main pathologies is quite significant, reaching indexes of 50% in some Brazilian areas. Besides, the cost of repair or rehabilitation of deteriorated structures, in some cases, can be higher than a new structure. To increase the service life of concrete structures and reduce the occurrence of steel corrosion, this work verifies the behavior of concretes with mineral additions in protecting the steel against the corrosion induced by chloride ions, in comparison to concretes without addition. For the production of high performance concretes (HPC), two addition types were used: silica fume (SF), already commercially available, and silica extracted from rice husk (SRH), produced in laboratory. Thus, besides providing a physical barrier to the aggressive agents in the concrete cover, the use of such concretes contribute to decrease the environmental pollution, since the additions studied are residues. Mechanical and durability tests were accomplished, such as water absorption, chloride penetration resistance, chloride penetration depth and concentration and electric resistivity of concretes. In the analysis of corrosion process, two techniques were used: open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Regarding the microstructure, tests of mercury intrusion porosimetry, X-ray diffraction, termogravimetry and scanning electron microscopy were conducted. The results obtained in the control of steel corrosion by chloride ions were favorable to the use of the additions in substitution to the portland cement. Both concretes with additions showed better performances than the concretes without silica, indicating high capacity of HPC to protect against the steel corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. Concerning the types of cement used, CP V ARI RS showed to be more efficient than CP V ARI Plus and presented better synergy with SRH. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique can be used in HPC, however the effects of the high resistivity of the material should be minimized, especially when silica fume is used.

The repair of reinforced concrete structures attracts more and more attention of researchers and constructors who see an ever growing number of pathologic phenomenons on several constructions that make use of this widely accepted material. The wrong notion which claims the concrete is an eternal and unchangeable matter has been definitively substituted by the fact that it s a dynamic and complex substance, vulnerable to several aggressive compounds which modify and cause damage to its chemical and physical structure. The present work intended to gather data about the performance of silica fume as a chemical admixture to mortars under the marine atmosphere in the tidal zone, and also evaluate if the magnesium sulfate has any major role in the development of the mortar s properties. To achieve the objectives of the study two groups of mortar were made, one used silica in its composition, and the other didn t. The mortar was cast in cylindrical and prismatic molds to, later, be subjected to natural drying and wetting cycles in the sea coast of Maceió. The cylindrical specimens were 10 x 5 cm and the prismatic ones were 50 x 15 x 4 cm and had reinforcement inside. The tests were conducted in the ages of 14, 28, 91, 135 and 180 days and concerned measuring the compressive, tensile and elastic modulos of the samples and also determine the corrosion potential of the reinforced mortar using the ASTM C 876-91 method. As an addition, X-Ray diffraction tests were conducted to verify if the compounds within the mortars had change and help explain the results from the earlier experiments. Results show that the silica fume mortars developed lower compressive strength than ordinary Portland cement mortars. The tensile strength tests displayed more balanced values for both mortars, with the ordinary exhibiting less strength than its silica fume counterpart at 91 and 135 days, but catching up with it (even slightly surpassing it) at latter ages. X-ray diffraction indicates changes on the phases of the hydrated paste. The analysis of the results suggests that cement mortar with silica fume addition doesn t present the same behavior related to ordinary cement mortarCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
O reparo de estruturas de concreto armado atrai cada vez mais a atenção de pesquisadores e construtores que vêem um número crescente de fenômenos patológicos em diversas construções com este material. A noção errônea de que o concreto é um material eterno e imutável foi substituída pelo fato de que ele é uma substância dinâmica e complexa, vulnerável a muitos compostos agressivos que modificam e causam dano à sua estrutura química e física. O presente trabalho propôs-se a coletar dados sobre o comportamento da sílica ativa como uma adição mineral a argamassas expostas ao ambiente marinho, na zona de variação da maré, e também avaliar se o sulfato de magnésio participa de alguma maneira no desenvolvimento das propriedades da argamassa. Para alcançar os objetivos do estudo dois grupos de argamassas foram feitos, um de argamassa convencional e o outro usando sílica em sua composição. Corpos de prova cilíndricos (10 x 5 cm) e prismáticos (50 x 15 x 4 cm com armadura de aço) foram sujeitos a ciclos naturais de molhagem e secagem no litoral de Maceió. Os testes foram feitos nas idades de 14, 28, 91, 135 e 180 dias e compreenderam medir a resistência à compressão, à tração e o módulo de elasticidade das amostras. Ensaios de potencial de corrosão foram conduzidos nas placas de argamassa armada de acordo com a ASTM C 876 91 e análise por difração de raios X foram efetuadas para verificar mudanças nos compostos das argamassas. Resultados mostram que, ao fim do período de testes, a argamassa com sílica desenvolveu resistência à compressão menor quando comparada à argamassa convencional. A resistência à tração mostrou resultados mais equilibrados, com alguma vantagem para a argamassa com sílica. Análise da difração de raios X sugere possíveis mudanças nas fases da argamassa com sílica. Os resultados apontam que o uso de sílica ativa em matriz cimenticia aplicada em ambiente marinho não apresenta o mesmo desempenho quando comparado a matriz cimenticia convencional.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThe use of agro-industrial by-products with pozzolanic properties has become an alternative in the cement industry because of the increasing consumption of cement, aiming at the rational use and sustainability of the mines that produce raw materials for the production of clinker and longer life of concrete structures. This research investigates the influence of the curing period and of the use of rice husk ash with different contents of graphitic carbon on the compressive strength, total shrinkage and chloride penetration of concretes with high early age strength cement. The levels of replacement of Portland cement adopted were 0%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 30%, the water/binder ratios of 0.35, 0.50 e 0.65 and the wet curing periods of 3 and 7 days. A mixture containing 10% of silica fume to replace Portland cement was used as benchmark. Compressive strength was obtained by a compressive test using cylindrical specimens (Ø 100 mm x 200 mm) according to NBR 5738 and 5739 standards for the ages of 28 and 91 days. The determination of shrinkage was made according to the recommendations of ASTM C-157 (ASTM, 2006) and ASTM C-490 (ASTM, 2004) in test specimens with 100 mm x 100 mm x 285 mm evaluated at the ages of 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 56, 91 and 182 days. Before being immersed in saline, the test specimens were dried for 91 days. Based on the findings, it has been found, for all mixtures investigated, that the increase in the wet cure period led to higher compressive strength values, lower shrinkage values and reduced chloride penetration for the investigated mixtures. The opposite behavior was observed with the increase of w/b ratio. The mixtures containing rice husk ash of lower contents of graphitic carbon (light-colored) showed the highest values of compressive strength. However, analysis at equal content of replacement shows that this behavior varies according to the a/agl ratio, age at test and curing period, not indicating a general tendency. This behavior is also valid for analysis of mixtures with rice husk ash and silica fume. In the test of shrinkage and chloride penetration following shrinkage, the mixtures of rice husk ash of lower contents of graphitic carbon have shown, in general, better performance, with lower shrinkage values and reduced chloride penetration.
A utilização de subprodutos agroindustriais com características pozolânicas tem sido uma das alternativas encontradas diante do crescente consumo de cimento, visando à racionalidade e à sustentabilidade das jazidas fornecedoras de matérias-primas para produção do clínquer e à maior vida útil das estruturas de concreto. Nesta pesquisa, investiga-se a influência do período de cura e da utilização de cinza de casca de arroz com diferentes teores de carbono grafítico na resistência à compressão axial, retração total e penetração de íons cloreto de concretos com cimento Portland de alta resistência inicial. Os teores de substituição ao cimento Portland adotados foram de 0%, 5%, 10%, 20% e 30%, as relações água/aglomerante de 0.35, 0.50 e 0.65 e os períodos de cura úmida de 3 e 7 dias. Uma mistura com 10% de sílica ativa em substituição ao cimento Portland foi empregada como parâmetro de comparação. A resistência à compressão axial foi avaliada em corpos de prova cilíndricos (Ø 100 mm x 200 mm) segundo as normas NBR 5738 e 5739, para as idades de 28 e 91 dias. A determinação da retração foi feita conforme recomendações da ASTM C-157 (ASTM, 2006) e ASTM C-490 (ASTM, 2004) em corpos de prova de dimensões 100 mm x 100 mm x 285 mm avaliados nas idades de 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 56, 91 e 182 dias. A avaliação de penetração de íons cloreto (imersão em solução salina) foi realizada nas idades de 7, 14, 28, 56 e 91 dias. Antes de serem imersos em solução salina, os corpos de prova foram submetidos a um período de secagem de 91 dias. Dos resultados obtidos, constatou-se, para todas as misturas investigadas, que o aumento do período de cura úmida resultou em maiores valores de resistência à compressão, menores valores de retração e menor penetração de íons cloreto para as misturas investigadas. Comportamento contrário foi observado com o aumento da relação a/ag. As misturas compostas com CCA de menor teor de carbono grafítico (clara) apresentaram os maiores valores de resistência à compressão, contudo, quando se analisa em igualdade de teor de substituição, esse comportamento varia em função da relação a/agl, idade de ensaio e prazo de cura, não apresentando uma tendência geral. Esse comportamento também é válido quando se analisa as misturas com CCA e SA. No ensaio de retração e de penetração de cloretos após retração, as misturas compostas com CCA de menor teor de carbono grafítico apresentaram, no geral, melhor desempenho com menores valores de retração e de penetração de cloretos.

The introduction of wind energy into the brazilian energy matrix is of paramount importance for national energy policy. In this context, the viability of wind towers is a fundamental issue. In Brazil, these towers are built mainly in reinforced concrete, in regions of high aggressiveness (coastal regions, because of their greater wind potential) and, therefore, it is necessary to develop high performance concretes that are able to withstand environmental actions to which they are subjected, mainly the action of the chlorides, so that these structures reach the previously defined project life, thus guaranteeing the viability of the towers. In this sense, the present work evaluates the mechanical properties, the mechanisms of transport of chlorides and the performance in relation to the corrosion of the reinforcement, in concretes that contain high performance pozolanic mineral additions, in order to evaluate the influence of the presence of these additions in these properties. Three different study mixes were developed containing respectively, 9% of silica fume in composition with 1% of nanosilica, 5% of a high fineness metakaolin in composition with 5% of a slightly less fine metakaolin, both with high pozzolanic activity and a mix containing only 10% of the finest metakaolin, in addition to a reference mix. Analyzes related to the chloride transport are presented: penetrability and diffusion; analyzes related to the corrosion of reinforcement: induction of corrosion by aggressive solution wetting cycles and air drying, surface electrical resistivity of concrete and corrosion potential, besides the mechanical characterization. The concretes with incorporation of pozzolanic addition showed, in general, improvements in the mechanical properties. In the chloride transport properties and corrosion performance of the reinforcements, the improvements from the mineral additions were significant. Thus, it was concluded that the incorporation of the different mineral additions studied in the present work significantly altered the properties of the concrete, with a positive highlight for the properties associated with durability, in which the benefits of using mineral addition are more pronounced.
A introdução da energia eólica na matriz energética brasileira é de suma importância para a política energética nacional. Nesse contexto, a viabilidade das torres eólicas é questão fundamental. No Brasil essas torres são construídas, principalmente, em concreto armado em regiões de alta agressividade (regiões litorâneas, por terem maior potencial eólico) e, portanto, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de concretos de alto desempenho que sejam capazes de resistir às ações ambientais às quais são submetidos, principalmente à ação dos cloretos, de maneira que essasestruturas atinjam a vida útil de projeto previamente definida, garantindo assim a viabilidade das torres. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho avalia as propriedades mecânicas, os mecanismos de transporte de cloretos e o desempenho em relação à corrosão das armaduras, de concretos que contêm adições minerais pozolânicas de alto desempenho, a fim de avaliar a influência dessas adições nessas propriedades. Foram elaborados três diferentes proporcionamentos de estudo contendo respectivamente, 9% de sílica ativa em composição com 1% de nanossílica, 5% de um metacaulim de elevada finura em composição com 5% de um metacaulim um pouco menos fino, ambos de elevada pozolanicidade e um proporcionamento contendo exclusivamente 10% do metacaulim de maior finura, além de um proporcionamento de referência. São apresentadas análises relacionadas ao transporte de cloretos: penetrabilidade e difusão; análises relacionadas à corrosão das armaduras: indução da corrosão por meio de ciclos de molhagem em solução agressiva contendo cloretos, medidas de resistividade elétrica superficial do concreto e potencial de corrosão, além da caracterização mecânica. Os concretos com incorporação de adição pozolânica apresentaram, em geral, melhorias em suas propriedades mecânicas. Já nas propriedades de transporte de cloretos, as melhorias advindas das adições minerais foram mais significativas, assim como no desempenho em relação à corrosão das armaduras. Desse modo, concluiu-se que a incorporação das diferentes adições minerais estudadas no presente trabalho alterou significativamente as propriedades do concreto, com destaque positivo para as propriedades associadas à durabilidade, nas quais os benefícios do uso da adição mineral são mais pronunciados.

A reação álcali-agregado é uma manifestação patológica diretamente ligada à seleção dos materiais (cimento, agregados miúdo e graúdo, água e aditivos) que pode comprometer a durabilidade das estruturas de concreto, uma vez que a interação desses materiais e as condições ambientais é que vão conferir ao concreto determinadas propriedades ligadas à sua vida útil. A reação entre os hidróxidos alcalinos solubilizados na fase líquida dos poros dos concretos e alguns agregados reativos é lenta e resulta em um gel que, ao se acumular em vazios do concreto e na interface pasta-agregado, na presença de água, se expande, exercendo pressão interna no concreto. Ao exceder a resistência à tração do concreto, a pressão interna pode promover fissurações. A reação álcali-agregado requer a atuação conjunta de água, agregado reativo e álcalis. Sua prevenção pode ser feita a partir da eliminação de um dos fatores, ou seja, a partir do emprego de agregados inertes ou de cimentos com baixos teores de álcalis ou isolamento da umidade. Na impossibilidade de eliminar um dos fatores, medidas preventivas devem ser tomadas para o emprego de agregados reativos em obras de construção civil. Entre essas, destacam-se a utilização de cimentos com baixos teores de álcalis ou a de cimentos com adições ativas mitigadoras da reação álcali-agregado: escória de alto-forno, cinza volante, metacaulim e sílica ativa, que foi o objeto de pesquisa do presente trabalho. No programa experimental foram analisados dois tipos de agregado potencialmente reativos com os hidróxidos alcalinos: EDVDOWR e PLORQLWR_ JUDQtWLFR. O primeiro, proveniente de rocha ígnea, tem como constituintes deletérios vidro, clorofeíta, calcedônia (sílica criptocristalina), que dará origem à reação do tipo iOFDOL_VtOLFD. O agregado milonito granítico provém de rocha metamórfica, tem como constituintes deletérios quartzo microgranular, quartzo recristalizado, quartzo com extinção ondulante e quartzo e feldspato deformados, que dará origem ao tipo de reação iOFDOL_VLOLFDWR. Com o objetivo de avaliar a eficiência de adições ativas em mitigar as reações, os agregados foram combinados com 16 cimentos com adições ativas. Escória de alto-forno foi adicionada a 15%, 30%, 45% e 60% e cinza volante, a 10%, 15%, 25% e 35%, teores normalmente encontrados nos cimentos brasileiros. Metacaulim foi adicionada a 5%, 10%, 15% e 20%, e sílica ativa, a 5%, 10% e 15%, teores representativos da faixa normalmente adicionada diretamente a concretos. Todos os materiais utilizados foram caracterizados química, física e mineralogicamente, incluindo a análise petrográfica dos agregados. As barras de argamassa foram analisadas ao MEV, microscópio óptico de luz transmitida, realizaram-se ensaios de porosimetria por intrusão de mercúrio e análises térmicas para quantificar a teor de portlandita residual, e determinou-se o teor de álcalis dentro das barras após a realização dos ensaios para verificar a migração de íons de sódio. Os resultados indicam que a eficiência das adições ativas varia de acordo com a composição química e mineralógica das adições, da proporção desse material no cimento, e do grau de reatividade do agregado.The alkali-aggregate reaction is a pathologic manifestation that can induce the premature distress and loss in serviceability of concrete structures affected. It is directly associated to the selection of materials (cement, coarse and fine aggregates, water and additives), as the interaction between these materials and environmental condition will grant the concrete some of the properties related to its service life. The slow reaction between alkali hydroxides soluble in the liquid phase within concrete pores and reactive aggregates gives rise to a gel that piles up within concrete voids and the aggregate-paste interface. In presence of water, the gel expands and exerts internal pressure in the concrete. When the internal pressure exceeds the tensile strength, cracking may come up as result. The alkali-aggregate reaction requires the action of water, reactive aggregate and alkalis altogether. Prevention can be carried out by eliminating one of these factors, i.e. employing either inert aggregates or lowalkali cements, or keeping the concrete away from moisture. Otherwise, preventive measures must be taken when reactive aggregates are used in civil construction works, such as the use of low-alkali cements or composite cements bearing alkaliaggregate- reaction mitigating admixtures: blast-furnace slag, fly ash, metakaolin and silica fume, which are the object of the present research. The experimental work included the analysis of two potentially reactive aggregates to alkali hydroxides: basalt and granite milonite. The igneous basalt carries deleterious constituents such as glass, chloropheite (cryptocrystalline silica), that will give rise to the DONDOL_VLOLFD type reaction while the metamorphic granite milonite carries micro granular, recrystallized, undulate-extinction-bearing quartz and deformed feldspar grains, that give rise to DONDOL_VLOLFDWH type reaction. Aiming at evaluating how efficient in mitigating these reactions the active admixtures are, these aggregates were mixed with 16 composite cements. The contents of admixtures followed those usually found in Brazilian industrial cements for blast-furnace slag (15%, 30%, 45%, 60%) and fly ash (10%, 15%, 25%, 35%), and those generally added directly to concrete for metakaolin (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) and silica fume (5%, 10%, 15%). All materials were characterized for their chemical composition, physical properties and mineralogy. Petrography was carried out on the aggregates. The mortar bars were analyzed at the scanning electronic and transmitted-light optical microscopes. Mercury-intrusion porosimetry and thermal analyses were carried out to quantify residual portlandite. The alkali content within the bars was determined in order to verify migration of Na+ ions. The results show that the efficiency of active admixtures varies according to their chemical and mineralogical composition and proportioning in cement, and to the aggregate reactivity.

Full textAbstract:
L’étude du comportement des bétons à hautes températures est d’une grande importance pour déterminer la stabilité et la résistance des structures en béton en situation d’incendie. Des incendies spectaculaires, ces dernières années, ont montré que le béton pouvait être très fortement sollicité. Ainsi il apparaît qu’assurer un très bon comportement du béton en température permet de sauver des vies et de diminuer les frais d'immobilisation et de réparation des structures endommagées. Le travail présenté vise, par une étude expérimentale, à apporter une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes mis en jeu lors de l’exposition aux hautes températures des bétons à hautes performances (BHP). Il s’intéresse, plus particulièrement, aux transferts des fluides dans les bétons (perméabilité) et à l’étude de l’instabilité thermique (phénomène d’éclatement) des bétons à hautes performances. Le travail de thèse a été mené sur des bétons à hautes performances (80 MPa) avec 5% de fumée de silice (matériau à faible perméabilité pour améliorer la durabilité), et différents pourcentages de fibres de polypropylène. L’utilisation des fibres de polypropylène (PP) est considérée comme une solution technique efficace pour améliorer la tenue au feu des bétons à hautes performances, notamment grâce aux phénomènes physiques apparaissant aux températures inférieures à 200°C. Notre travail concerne, dans un premier temps, la caractérisation de l’évolution des propriétés physiques (porosité, perte de masse), thermiques (conductivité et diffusivité) et mécaniques (résistance à la compression et en traction) ainsi que les isothermes de sorption. La deuxième partie de ce travail concerne l’étude de l’évolution de la perméabilité en fonction de la température (jusqu’à 200°C), principale propriété caractérisant les transferts hydriques au sein des bétons. Les paramètres étudiés sont : le type de béton (avec ou sans fibres de PP), deux types de fibre de géométries différentes, la nature du fluide (air ou vapeur d’eau) et la méthode de mesure (en résiduel et à chaud). Les résultats expérimentaux montrent que les fibres génèrent une perméabilité plus importante au-delà de 150°C et que les valeurs obtenues en résiduel ou à chaud peuvent être liés aux modes opératoires. Enfin, dans la dernière partie une investigation sur le phénomène d’éclatement explosif en lien avec la composition du matériau est menée. Une nouvelle méthode d’investigation expérimentale de la sensibilité des formulations à l’instabilité thermique est proposée avec une étude sur des sphères portées en température. Cette méthode devra être comparée aux méthodes traditionnelles d’investigation. L’analyse des résultats des essais permet de discuter sur les causes de l’instabilité thermique et de caractériser les propriétés du béton en température, données indispensables à la modélisationThe study of the behaviour of concrete at high temperatures is of great importance to determine the stability and strength of concrete structures in fire conditions. Spectacular fires, these last years, showed that the concrete could be very strongly solicited. Thus it appears that to ensure a very good behaviour of the concrete at temperature it is saved people and reduced the expenses of immobilisation and repair of the damaged structures. The aims of the present work, by the experimental study, are to provide a better comprehension of the involved phenomena during the exposure to the high temperatures of the high performance concretes (HPC). It focuses, in particular, on the fluids transfers (permeability) and the study of the thermal instability (spalling) of high performance concrete. The thesis work was conducted on high-performance concrete (80 MPa) with 5% silica fume (low permeability material to improve durability), and different amount of polypropylene fibres. The use of polypropylene fibres (PP) is regarded as an effective technical solution to improve the behaviour of the HPC at fire conditions, in particular thanks to the physical phenomena appearing at the temperatures lower than 200°C. Our work is concerned, initially, on the characterization of the evolution of physical properties (porosity, mass loss), thermal properties (conductivity and diffusivity) and mechanical properties (compressive strength and tensile) and the sorption isotherms. The second part concerns the study of the evolution of the permeability, as a main property characterising the hydrous transfers inside the concrete exposed to temperature. An experimental study is conducted concerning the evolution of the permeability of concrete as a function of temperature (up to 200 ° C). The studied parameters are: the type of concrete (with and without fibres), two types and geometry of fibres, the nature of the fluid (air and vapour) and the measurement methods (residual and under temperature). The experimental results shows that the existing fibres generate a most important permeability beyond 150°C and that the obtained results, by residual or under temperature measurements, may be related to the operating procedures. Finally, in the last part an investigation on the spalling phenomenon related to the material compositions is conducted. A new experimental method of investigation of the sensitivity of the formulations to thermal instability is proposed: the study of spherical specimens exposed in high temperatures. This method will be compared to the traditional methods of investigation. The analysis of the test results makes to discuss the thermal instability causes and to characterize the concrete properties at high temperatures, important data to modelling

The goal of this work was to create a method for improving the dispersion of silica fumes for use in high performance concrete. Traditional methods used to design and manufacture high performance concrete emphasize the removal of coarse aggregates. Use of specially sorted fine aggregates at relatively low doses, the use of super-plasticizers and siliceous excrement. The low water content was achieved by using superplasticizer on a polycarboxylate basis. The standard ultrasound technology found in each laboratory was selected for the dispersion of silica fume. For experiments were we used dry silica fume powder and aqueous stabilized suspension. For comparison, were prepared different mixtures which showed the effects of the treatment prior to the use of silica fume.

Full textAbstract:
Dans un site de stockage profond de déchets radioactifs, l’utilisation de matériaux à base de ciment Portland en association avec de l’argile pourrait se révéler inadaptée en raison de leur forte alcalinité. Une alternative serait de mettre en œuvre des ciments générant des solutions interstitielles de pH réduit (de l’ordre de 11 au lieu de 13,5 pour un CEM I). Les formulations étudiées dans cette thèse font appel à des ciments composés (également appelés « liant bas pH ») élaborés à partir de mélanges binaires (CEM I / fumée de silice) ou ternaires (CEM I / fumée de silice / cendres volantes ou laitier), avec de forts taux de substitution du CEM I (de 30% à 80%). Le travail réalisé répond à un double objectif : (i) étudier l’évolution chimique des liants bas pH à 50°C ou 80°C, températures qui pourraient être rencontrées dans certaines zones du stockage, et (ii) préciser les mécanismes à l’origine de la bonne rétention des alcalins par ces liants hydratés. (i) Le suivi sur une période d’un an de pâtes de liant bas pH montre que l’accroissement de la température de 20 à 80°C accélère l’hydratation des liants et favorise la consommation de la portlandite. L’allongement et la réticulation des chaînes de silicates des C-A-S-H est mise en évidence par RMN de l’27Al et du 29Si. L’ettringite observée dans les pâtes conservées à 20°C est par ailleurs déstabilisée. Les sulfates ainsi relâchés sont pour partie adsorbés sur les C-A-S-H et dissous dans la solution interstitielle. Le pH de cette dernière est réduit de 1,7 à 2,2 unités selon les formulations. En revanche, les fractions solubles d’alcalins n’évoluent pas de façon importante. Le liant ternaire T1 composé de 37,5% de CEM I, 32,5% de fumée de silice et 30% de cendres volantes est le seul des ciments étudiés à conduire à un pH de solution interstitielle inférieur à 11 aux trois températures considérées (20, 50 et 80°C - échéances 6 mois et 1 an). Son évolution à plus long terme a pu être simulée à l’aide de systèmes modèles reproduisant sa composition chimique à partir d’oxydes réactifs. A l’équilibre thermodynamique, l’assemblage minéralogique est constitué de C-A-S-H (rapports Ca/Si et Al/Si de 0,75 et 0,15 respectivement) ainsi que d’hydroxyde d’aluminium et de silice amorphes, et il impose un pH de 10,3 à 20°C. (ii) Ce sont les C-A-S-H qui jouent le rôle essentiel dans la rétention des alcalins. Le mécanisme mis en jeu est celui d’une compensation des charges négatives des C-A-S-H par interaction électrostatique. Il existe une sélectivité de sorption : le potassium est mieux retenu que le sodium. Celle-ci pourrait être attribuée en première approche à la différence de rayon solvaté entre ces ions. Une modélisation Monte Carlo des interactions électrostatiques entre des particules de C-S-H et un électrolyte contenant des ions sodium et potassium montre cependant que cette hypothèse ne suffit pas à elle seule à expliquer la sélectivité observée expérimentalementBecause of their high alkalinity, Portland cement (OPC)-based materials may have deleterious effects in an underground waste repository. A solution would be to use low-alkalinity cements (also referred as low-pH cements) generating interstitial solutions with a reduced pH (11 instead of 13.5 for OPC), and thus showing an improved chemical compatibility with the repository environment. In this work, the investigated formulations were based on binary (OPC / silica fume) or ternary (OPC / silica fume / slag or fly ash) blends, with high substitution levels of CEM I (from 30% to 80%). This research project met two main objectives: (i) study the chemical evolution of low-pH cements at 50°C or 80°C, since such temperatures could be encoutered in certain zones of the waste repositories, and (ii) determine the mechanisms of alkali retention by hydrated low-pH cements. (i) Investigation of low-pH cement pastes with ongoing hydration over one year showed that increasing the temperature from 20°C to 80°C accelerated cement hydration and favoured the depletion of portlandite. A lengthening of the C-A-S-H silicate chains was also detected by 27Al and 29Si NMR analyses. Besides, ettringite precipitated at 20°C, but was destabilised at higher temperature. The released sulphates were partly adsorbed on the C-A-S-H and dissolved in the interstitial solution. The pH of this solution was reduced from 1.7 to 2.2 units depending on the formulations. The soluble fractions of alkalis did not significantly change with temperature. Among the five investigated blends, ternary binder T1 (37.5% CEM I, 32.5% silica fume, 30% fly ash) was the only one giving a pore solution pH lower than 11 at 20, 50 and 80°C (curing time of 6 months and 1 year). Its long-term evolution was simulated by model systems reproducing its chemical composition with reactive oxides. At equilibrium, the hydrate assemblage comprised C-A-S-H (Ca/Si and Al/Si ratios of 0.75 and 0.15 respectively), amorphous silica and aluminium hydroxide. It led to a pH of 10.3 at 20°C. (ii) C-A-S-H hydrates played a major role in the retention of alkalis. Sorption of potassium was higher than that of sodium and mainly resulted from electrostatic interactions with C-A-S-H. Monte Carlo modelling of these interactions showed that the difference of solvated radii between these ions could not explain by itself the sorption selectivity experimentally observed

Unlike the silica fume, whose benefits on the properties of the concretes are already widely known, little is known regarding nanosilica. This research offers an analysis of the contribution of different types of nanosilica in mechanical characteristics and workability maintenance of concretes, as well as an evaluation of the behavior of these additions when subjected to steam curing. For this, there were compared among themselves laboratory test results in concretes with different characteristics and different purposes (one of them suitable for production at batching plants and the other for metering precast elements). The results confirmed advantages for the simple addition of nanossílica at mechanical properties of concretes for batching plants with strengths above 40 MPa (a/c<0.52), but showed that the most advantageous situation consists in adding it together with sílica fume, since the concrete with both additions exceeded the reference concrete above 36 MPa (a/c<0.615), which highlights the importance of combining pozzolanic effect of silica fume, the creation of nucleation sites caused by nanossílica and better packaging mix, size distribution generated by the two additions give the folder.Regarding the maintenance of workability, the nanosilica dispersed in superplasticizer demonstrated satisfactory performance. In the analysis of concretes for precast elements, the addition of nanosilica dispersed superplasticizer and silica fume together was also the one which showed the best results in terms of resistance in 28 days of conventional curing. However, with steam curing, a great improvement was noted in the behavior of nanosilica dispersed in water, which had not achieved good results with the conventional cure, while nanosilica dispersed in superplasticizer did not respond well to the process, possibly due to the shape of the polycarboxylate used in the dispersion of the particles. Probably, the nanosilica dispersed in water showed no significant pozzolanic activity levels, but with the rise of temperature and the agitation of the particles, the formation of nucleation sites was intensified. As the development of resistance in early ages, all additions had positive effects, but the best performance was observed on the concrete with the simple addition of nanosilica dispersed in superplasticizer. With this addition, the concrete has reached 40 MPa after only 12 hours of steam curing, within about four times lower than the reference concrete (44 hours), which suggests that its addition to the concrete could result in na almost four times greater productivity of a precast elements factory.
Ao contrário da sílica ativa, cujas vantagens nas propriedades do concreto já são amplamente conhecidas, pouco se sabe em relação à nanossílica. Esta pesquisa contempla uma análise da contribuição de diferentes tipos de nanossílica nas características mecânicas e de manutenção do abatimento de concretos, bem como uma avaliação do comportamento destas adições frente à cura térmica. Para isto, compararam-se entre si resultados de ensaios laboratoriais em concretos com diferentes traços e diferentes finalidades (produção em centrais dosadoras e fabricação de pré-moldados). Os resultados confirmaram vantagens para a adição simples de nanossílica quanto à resistência à compressão dos concretos para centrais com resistências acima de 40 MPa (a/c<0,52), mas mostraram que a melhor situação consiste na adição conjunta de sílica ativa e nanossílica, já que o concreto com a adição conjunta superou o de referência a partir de 36 MPa (a/c<0,615). Isso deixa clara a importância de aliar o efeito pozolânico da sílica ativa, a criação de pontos de nucleação ocasionada pela nanossílica e o melhor empacotamento da mistura, gerado pela distribuição granulométrica que as duas adições juntas conferem à pasta. Quanto à manutenção do abatimento, a nanossílica dispersa em aditivo superplastificante demonstrou desempenho satisfatório. Em relação aos concretos para pré-moldados, foi a adição conjunta de sílica ativa e nanossílica dispersa em superplastificante a que apresentou melhores resultados de resistência aos 28 dias de cura convencional. No entanto, com a cura térmica, notou-se melhora substancial do comportamento da nanossílica dispersa em água, que não havia atingido bons resultados com cura convencional, enquanto a nanossílica dispersa em superplastificante não respondeu bem ao processo, possivelmente por influência da forma do policarboxilato usado na dispersão das partículas. Provavelmente, a nanossílica dispersa em água não apresentou atividade pozolânica relevante, mas com a elevação da temperatura e a agitação das partículas, a formação de pontos de nucleação foi intensificada. Quanto ao desenvolvimento de resistências nas idades iniciais, todas as adições apresentaram efeitos positivos, mas o melhor desempenho foi observado no concreto com adição simples da nanossílica dispersa em superplastificante. Com ela, o concreto atingiu 40 MPa com apenas 12 horas de cura térmica, prazo quase quatro vezes menor do que o do concreto de referência (44 horas), o que leva a crer que sua adição ao concreto poderia implicar em uma produtividade quase quatro vezes maior de uma fábrica de elementos pré-moldados.

Resumo: A durabilidade das estruturas de concreto depende da estrutura porosa e da impermeabilidade do concreto, uma vez que a entrada de água e de agentes deletérios iniciam os processos patológicos que diminuem a vida útil de uma estrutura de concreto. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a resistência mecânica, permeabilidade, absorção e carbonatação natural de concretos submetidos a diferentes condições de cura. Os procedimentos de cura adotados são normalmente utilizadds em canteiros de obra e na produção de estruturas pré-moldadas de concreto: cura imersa até a idade de 7 dias, cura ambiente e cura térmica. A cura térmica foi realizada na temperatura de 60°C. Foram empregados concretos produzidos com cimento Portland de Alta Resistência Inicial (CP V ARI) e cimento Portland de Alto Forno (CP III) sem e com sílica ativa (em substituição ao cimento na proporção de 10% em massa) para cada um dos diferentes tipos de cura utilizados. Os resultados evidenciaram que o tipo de cura afeta o desempenho do concreto. A mudança do tipo de cura aplicada proporcionou variações nas propriedades mecânicas e na durabilidade dos concretos, principalmente no que diz respeito à sua estrutura porosa. Assim, um regime de cura adequado é essencial para garantir a resistência mecânica e a durabilidade dos concretos. A utilização de sílica ativa em substituição ao cimento melhorou o desempenho dos concretos, tanto para a resistência mecânica quanto para a durabilidade, independente do tipo de cura empregado
Abstract: The durability of concrete structures depends on porous structure and its impermeability. The entrance of water and deleterious agents begin the damage processes and reduce the life of the concretestructure. ln that way, the aim of this work was to evaluate the mechanical resistance, permeability, absorption and natural carbonation of concretes submitted to different curing procedures. The curing procedures adopted were usually used in civil construction and in the production of precast structures: moist curing until the age 6f 7 days, curing in air, and steam curing. The maximum temperature of steam curing was 60°C. All concretes were produced with High Early Strength Portland cement (CP V ARl) and Blastfurnace Portland cement (CP TIl) without and with silica fume (10% of replacement, by mass, of Portland cement) for each one of the different curing procedure used. The results showed that the curing procedure affects the concrete performance, providing variations in their mechanical properties and in their durability, mainly in porous structure. Therefore, the curing process used is essential to guarantee the mechanical resistance and the durability of the concretes. The use of silica fume improved the performance of the concretes, as for the mechanical resistance as for its durability, independent of the curing procedure used.

Full textAbstract:
Lubricating greases have been widely used for rail lubrication systems. For an efficient grease pump design, it is important to study grease shear viscosity and it is also crucial to analyze grease yielding behavior to determine its consistency on rail surface. Among all rheological properties measured through experiments, yield stress is an ill-defined property, which investigation of a reproducible method for its determination can be invaluable. As the flow properties of a material will be usually influenced by the changes in environment temperature, studying the effects of temperature on the rheological properties of grease are important.
In this study, different rheological measurements and visualization techniques, previously developed to study a wide range of materials, have been performed to characterize fumed silica based lubricating greases manufactured by L.B. Foster Rail Technologies Corp. Using commercial rheometers and different approaches to determine the yield points of these materials, it was revealed that the values obtained by curve fitting on steady-state flow curves, creep, amplitude sweep crossover and stress ramp-up were roughly similar. The microstructure of this grease was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) on Cryo and non-Cryo modes. Besides visualizing a new thickener microstructure, it was shown that the heterogeneous structures developed by small fumed silica agglomerates lead to the formation of greases with higher shear viscosities. Finally, thermo-rheological analysis of these samples revealed that these materials follow neither Arrhenius equation nor time-temperature superposition principle.Applied Science, Faculty of
