The Relationship

The design of concrete structures in accordance with EN 1992-1-1 adopts the characteristic cylinder compressive strength inits equations. EN 206 provides for conformity testing for concrete strength in compression using 150mm diameter by 300mm length cylinders or 150mm cubes only. The complementary standard to EN 206 in UK, BS 8500 (SS 544 in Singapore, MS 523 in Malaysia) has added provisions (clause 12.2) for the use of 100mm cubes for conformity testing. The conformity criteria for 100mm cube specimens are to be the same as those for 150mm cubes. A series of tests based on 3 selected levels of compressive strength has been conducted to examine the relationship between these 3 types of test specimens for compressive strength of concrete. For each strength level, 100 batches of concrete were produced over a period of several months. The test results are presented with analysis based on the mean of 3 numbers for each type of test specimens prepared from the same batch at each time of preparation. The results of this study for the 3 strength levels support the relationship between standard cylinder compressive strength and standard cube compressive strength in EN 206. In addition, results also support the recommendation that standard 100mm cube compressive strength is equivalent to that of standard 150mm cube compressive strength in BS 8500. The use of the small size cubes and certiication of designed concrete promote sustainability in concrete construction.

The proto-machine-made sand is a new artificial material for environmental protection with grain size smaller than 5 mm made of water cleaned crushed stones or gravels broken and separated by machines, in which the stone powder maintains as prototype and certain content by improving the production technology. The paper introduces a series of test results of grade C50 concrete mixed by proto-machine-made sand with stone powder in mass content of 3 %, 7 % and 13 %. Based on the cubic compressive strength of concrete at different ages of 3 d, 4 d, 7 d, 14 d, 28 d, 56 d, 90 d, 120 d, 150 d and 180 d, the developing regularities of strength affected by the content of stone powder are analyzed, the formula for predicting the cubic compressive strength of concrete at any ages is proposed. It is proved that the effect of stone-powder in proto-machine-made sand on concrete strength is virtually different from that of the stone powder mixed with powdered mud in ordinary machine-made sand, and the limit value of stone powder content lower than 5 % is not suitable to proto-machine-made sand for mixing concrete with grade of C50.

The Relationship

As the most widely used construction material, concrete has the characteristics of good compressive performance. The compressive strength of concrete is the most important performance index. However, the compressive strength of concrete measured is generally based on the standard curing period for 28 d. Its period for detection is long. Therefore, it is necessary to study a fast and effective detection method. This paper mainly introduces the experimental method of microwave curing concrete and the relationship between concrete strength values of curing specimens using microwave and standard methods. The experimental results show that concrete specimens exposed to accelerated curing condition under microwave irradiation can increase the strength quickly within a shorter time period depending upon the procedure used in this work. By analysing experimental data, a model of concrete strength at age of 28 d using microwave curing and standard curing methods is established, which can early estimate compressive strength of concrete and provide a quick method for measuring the strength in the field.

The Grey Relation Entropy (GRE) theory is used to analyze the sensitive pore size that affects the compressive strength of concrete. The relationship between the strength and pore structure is revised based on the sensitivity coefficient. The revised model is used to calculate the compressive strength of concrete. In order to verify the validity of the proposed model, the calculated results are compared with experimental ones, showing satisfactory agreement with a larger correlation than existing methods.

Concrete Testing

In this paper a case study about concrete strength assessment of bridge structure experiencing fire is discussed. Assessment methods include activities of visual inspection, concrete testing by Hammer Test, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test, and Core Test. Then, test results are compared with the requirement of RSNI T-12-2004. Test results show that surface concrete at the location of fire deteriorates so that its quality is decreased into the category of Very Poor with ultrasonic pulse velocity ranges between 1,14 – 1,74 km/s. From test results also it can be known that concrete compressive strength of inner part of bridge pier ranges about 267 – 274 kg/cm2 and concrete compressive strength of beam and plate experiencing fire directly is about 173 kg/cm2 and 159 kg/cm2. It can be concluded that surface concrete strength at the location of fire does not meet the requirement of RSNI T-12-2004. So, repair on surface concrete of pier, beam, and plate at the location of fire is required.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the compressive strength of concrete cubes containing termite mound soil. The specimens were cast using M20 grade of concrete. Two mix ratios for replacement of sand and cement are of 1:1.7:2.7 and 1:1.5:2.5 (cement: sand: aggregate) with water- cement ratio of 0.45 and varying combination of termite mound soil in equal amount ranging from 30% and 40% replacing fine aggregate (sand) and cement from 10%,15%,20% were used. A total of 27 cubes, 18 cylinders and 6 beams were cast by replacing fine aggregate, specimens were cured in water for 7,14 and 28 days. The test results showed that the compressive strength of the concrete cubes increases with age and decreases with increasing percentage replacement of cement and increases with increasing the replacement of sand with termite mound soil cured in water. The study concluded that termite mound cement concrete is adequate to use for construction purposes in natural environment.

Stub Columns

A total of 11 L-shaped multi-cell concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns were fabricated and researched in axial compression test. The key factors of width-to-thickness ratio D/ t of steel plates in column limb and prism compressive strength of concrete fck were investigated to obtain influence on failure mode, bearing capacity, and ductility of the specimens. The test results show that the constraint effect for concrete provided by multi-cell steel tube cannot be ignored. The ductility decreases with the increase of width-to-thickness ratio D/ t of steel plates in column limb. The bearing capacity increases and the ductility decreases with the increase in prism compressive strength of concrete fck. A finite element program to calculate concentric load–displacement curves of L-shaped multi-cell concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns was proposed and verified by the test results. A parametric analysis with the finite element program was carried out to study the influence of the steel ratio α, steel yield strength fy, prism compressive strength of concrete fck, and width-to-thickness ratio D/ t of steel plates in column limb on the stiffness, bearing capacity and ductility. Furthermore, the design method of bearing capacity was determined based on mainstream concrete-filled steel tubular codes.

Main Factor

To improve the application of the new proto-machine-made sand in structural engineering, tests are carried out to study the drying shrinkage of concrete affected by stone powder in proto- machine-made sand. The target cubic compressive strength of concrete is 55 MPa, the main factor varied in mix proportion of concrete is the contents of stone powder by mass of proto-machine-made sand from 3 % to 16 %. The drying shrinkage strains of concrete are measured by the standard method at the ages of 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, 28 d, 60 d, 90 d, 120 d, 150 d and 180 d. Based on test results, the drying shrinkage of concrete affected by the contents of stone powder in proto-machine-made sand is analyzed and compared with that of similar test of concrete with traditional machine-made sand, which shows that there is the optimum content of stone powder resulting in the lower drying shrinkage of concrete. The formula for predicting drying shrinkage strain of concrete is proposed.
