The use of supplementary cementitious materials such as fly ash, slag, and silica fume improve reinforced concrete corrosion performance, while decreasing cost and reducing environmental impact compared to ordinary Portland cement. In this study, the corrosion behavior of AISI 1018 carbon steel (CS) and AISI 304 stainless steel (SS) reinforcements was studied for 365 days. Three different concrete mixtures were tested: 100% CPC (composite Portland cement), 80% CPC and 20% silica fume (SF), and 80% CPC and 20% fly ash (FA). The concrete mixtures were designed according to the ACI 211.1 standard. The reinforced concrete specimens were immersed in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl test solution to simulate a marine environment. Corrosion monitoring was evaluated using the corrosion potential (Ecorr) according to ASTM C876 and the linear polarization resistance (LPR) according to ASTM G59. The results show that AISI 304 SS reinforcements yielded the best corrosion behavior, with Ecorr values mainly pertaining to the region of 10% probability of corrosion, and corrosion current density (icorr) values indicating passivity after 105 days of experimentation and low probability of corrosion for the remainder of the test period.

The main purpose of this research was to enhance the strength and durability of concrete in both design and construction of high performance concrete. Particularly, the strength in high performance concrete is achieved by optimising the gangue, fly ash and silica fume replacement for cement. The gangue has been used as a cementitious material. Using data from tests on laboratory studies, comparisons are made of the properties and performance of the gangue, fly ash and silica fume concrete with conventional Portland cement concrete of similar and same mixture proportions. The many technical benefits available to high performance concrete user, such as reduced heat evolution, lower permeability and higher strength at later ages, at the same time, in order to increase resistance to sulphate attack and alkali silica reaction. A number of recommendations are given for the effective use of gangue and fly ash in high performance concrete. The results show that 10% gangue, 15% slag, 15% fly ash, 10% silica fume of replacement was found to be an optimum level and demonstrated excellent performance in strength. Literature review on the use of different supplementary cementitious materials in concrete to enhance strength was also reported. The paper is intended to provide guidance for those concerned with the design, application and performance of high properties concrete in practice where gangue and fly ash can also help to reduce costs and energy demands in the production of concrete compared with conventional Portland cement concrete.

This paper summarises experimental results of some fresh concrete tests. Polypropylene fibres were added to the concrete mix to produce fibre reinforced concrete. Pozzolanic materials, including pulverised fly ash and silica fume, were used as partial replacement of cement, and their effects on the fresh fibre concrete were reported. Test results showed that the polypropylene fibre reduced the concrete workability significantly by thixotropic effect and decreased the setting time. Substitution of pozzolans also greatly affected the properties. The presence of fly ash increased the workability and setting time but in the presence of silica fume a reverse trend was observed. Empirical equations were proposed.

ABSTRACTThe hydration of a blended cement through hydraulic or pozzolanic reactions results in heterogeneous polyphase materials. Because portland cement clinker is the major component in most cement blends, the microstructural development of portland cement hydrates, including C-S-H and pore structures, is first discussed. Slag, fly ash, silica fume and limestone filler cements are then compared to portland cement with regards to C-S-H morphology and composition, aluminate crystallization, cement paste interfaces and pore size distribution.
