Dynamic Modulus Of Elasticity

The mechanical properties of high strength concrete(HSC) were experimentally investigated under mixed erosion and freeze-thaw cycling according to ASTM C666(Procedure B), the erosion solution was mixed by weight of 3% sodium chloride and 5% sodium sulfate. The mass loss, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, compressive strength, elastic modulus and other relative data were measured. The results showed that with the increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles, the surface scaled more seriously; the mass loss, compressive strength and elastic modulus continued to decrease; the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity increased slightly in the first 225 freeze-thaw cycles, then decreased in the following 75 cycles; the corresponding strain to peak stress decreased with the increase of freeze-thaw cycles. After 200 cycles, the rate of deterioration of concrete accelerated obviously.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

In this research, calcined diatomaceous earth from Aceh Besar, Indonesia was used as cement replacement in producing high strength concrete. Four concrete mixtures in which the percentage of cement replacement of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% by weight were studied. Four cylinder-specimens with 100 mm diameter and 200 mm high were prepared for each mixture. The compression load was applied on the specimens at the age of 28 days until the specimens failed. The mixture without calcined diatomaceous earth was more workable than that with diatomaceous earth. The compressive strength of concrete with diatomaceous earth in this study was almost the same for all mixture. However, those compressive strength was lower than the compressive strength of concrete without calcined diatomaceous earth for about 14.6%. Modulus of elasticity of high strength concrete decreased with increasing of cement replacement percentage.

Hardened State

In this study, the fresh and hardened state properties of heavyweight self-compacting concrete (HWSCC) and heavyweight high strength concrete (HWHSC) containing heavyweight magnetite aggregate with 50, 75, and 100% replacement ratio, and their performance at elevated temperatures were explored experimentally. For fresh-state properties, the flowability and passing ability of HWSCCs were assessed by using slump flow, T500 mm, and J-ring tests. Hardened-state properties including hardened density, compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity were evaluated after 28 days of mixing. High-temperature tests were also performed to study the mass loss, spalling of HWSCC and HWHSC, and residual mechanical properties at 100, 300, 600 and 900 °C with a heating rate of 5 °C/min. Ultimately, by using the experimental data, rational numerical models were established to predict the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of HWSCC at elevated temperatures. The results of the flowability and passing ability revealed that the addition of magnetite aggregate would not deteriorate the workability of HWSCCs and they retained their self-compacting characteristics. Based on the hardened densities, only self-compacting concrete (SCC) with 100% magnetite content, and high strength concrete (HSC) with 75 and 100% magnetite aggregate can be considered as HWC. For both the compressive strength and elastic modulus, decreasing trends were observed by introducing magnetite aggregate to SCC and HSC at an ambient temperature. Mass loss and spalling evaluations showed severe crack propagation for SCC without magnetite aggregate while SCCs containing magnetite aggregate preserved up to 900 °C. Nevertheless, the mass loss of SCCs containing 75 and 100% magnetite content were higher than that of SCC without magnetite. Due to the pressure build-up, HSCs with and without magnetite showed explosive spalling at high temperatures. The residual mechanical properties analysis indicated that the highest retention of the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity after exposure to elevated temperatures belonged to HWSCC with 100% magnetite content.

Wide Range

The paper discusses the modulus of elasticity of plain concrete for a wide range of compressive strength. A large volume of selected experimental data has been collected from existing literature and then analyzed. Particular emphasis has been given to studying the effects of concrete compressive strength and the type of coarse aggregate on the modulus of elasticity of plain concrete. The adequacy and applicability of the existing models for predicting the modulus of elasticity of high-strength concrete has been critically examined, and a new empirical model is proposed to cover concrete strength up to 125 MPa. The new empirical model seems to perform much better when applied to the published experimental data on normal weight concrete over a wide strength range.

This paper presents an experimental study of behaviour of high-strength concrete at high temperature. Reduction of the mechanical properties of concrete was determined starting from the period when the concrete specimens were heated to the maximum temperature and cooled down to ambient temperature and the additional 96 hours after the initial cooling of the specimens. The study includes determination of compressive strength, dynamic and secant modulus of elasticity, and stress-strain curves of concrete specimens when exposed to temperature level up to 600°C. The study results were compared with those obtained from other studies, EN 1994-1-2 and EN 1992-1-2. Tests point to the fact that compressive strength of concrete continues to reduce rapidly 96 hours after cooling of the specimens to ambient temperature; therefore indicating that the mechanical properties of concrete have substantial reduction after being exposed to high temperature. The study of the dynamic and secant modulus of elasticity shows that both of the properties are reduced but remain constant during the period of 96 hours after cooling. The level of postfire reduction of compressive strength of the analyzed concrete is substantial and could significantly affect the postfire load bearing capacity of a structure.
