Concrete、 Aggregate、 Reaction、 Long-term performance

抄録

Experimental measurements on samples cored from thick concrete walls of existing building structures whose age was ~50 years at most showed that concrete strength increased after long-term use due to chemical reactions between aggregate and cement hydrates. Chemical compositions of reacted aggregate were analyzed by comparing the oxide composition of cement paste with that of original cement based on inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) measurement. The results provide indicators to determine the dissolving aggregate minerals as well as the reaction degree of aggregate. A model was proposed to simulate the progress of reaction degree over time in coupling with moisture transport and temperature in concrete. The mechanism of strength increase was discussed by analyzing the gel-space ratio estimated from XRD-Riteveld analysis and that estimated from the thermodynamic simulation of the reaction. Finally, the strength prediction model was proposed for the aging management of building structures.
