The Difference

ABSTRACTWhen concrete is poured in large volumes, it is necessary to be able to predict the temperature rise which may occur inside the mass because of the effect this may have on the ultimate properties of the hardened concrete. It is known that the elevated temperatures generated may have a detrimental effect on final strengths and that if the difference in temperature between the centre and the surroundings exceeds 20–25°C, cracking may occur. In order to study these effects, a calorimetric controlled apparatus has been designed that is able to simulate the temperature rise profile occurring within any size of concrete pour. The apparatus is also used to control a curing bath thus enabling the compressive strength of match cured concrete to be determined. Results have been obtained for both temperature rise and strength growth at the centre of simulated 0.8, 1.5 and 3 m deep pours, using plain Portland and Portland PFA cement concrete. These show that in the larger sized pours the strength of concrete from a Portland PFA cement blend grows, after 2–3 days, at a greater rate than that of pure Portland cement, while giving lower temperature rises. Comparative strengths at 28 days are 48 Nmm−2 for the PFA cement concrete and 38 Nmm−2 for the pure Portland cement concrete. The influence of temperature on the reactivity of the PFA under these conditions has been studied using a dilute acid dissolution method. The hydrates formed and the progress of the pozzolanic reaction within the actual concretes has been monitored using scanning electron microscopy.

ABSTRACTPortland cement concrete (PCC) structures deteriorate with age and need to be maintained or replaced. Early detection of deterioration in PCC (e.g., alkali-silica reaction, freeze/thaw damage, or chloride presence) can lead to significant reductions in maintenance costs. However, it is often too late to perform low-cost preventative maintenance by the time deterioration becomes evident. By developing techniques that would enable civil engineers to evaluate PCC structures and detect deterioration at early stages (without causing further damage), optimization of life-cycle costs of the constructed facility and minimization of disturbance to the facility users can be achieved.Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods are potentially one of the most useful techniques ever developed for assessing constructed facilities. They are noninvasive and can be performed rapidly. Portland cement concrete can be nondestructively evaluated by electrically characterizing its complex dielectric constant. The real part of the dielectric constant depicts the velocity of electromagnetic waves in PCC. The imaginary part, termed the “loss factor,” describes the conductivity of PCC and the attenuation of electromagnetic waves.Dielectric properties of PCC have been investigated in a laboratory setting using a parallel plate capacitor operating in the frequency range of 0.1 to 40.1MIHz. This capacitor set-up consists of two horizontal-parallel plates with an adjustable separation for insertion of a dielectric specimen (PCC). While useful in research, this approach is not practical for field implementation. A new capacitor probe has been developed which consists of two plates, located within the same horizontal plane, for placement upon the specimen to be tested. Preliminary results show that this technique is feasible and results are promising; further testing and evaluation is currently underway.
