Durability Technology

(1)Main Technical Contents

In the previous design of concrete proportion, the main consideration is the strength index, and less consideration is given to durability. High-performance concrete is characterized by high workability, high strength and high durability, distinguishing it from ordinary concrete. For marine projects, highway and bridge projects sprayed with icing salts, and projects in salty areas, the intrusion of chloride salts into the concrete leads to corrosion of reinforcing steel and causes expansion and cracking of the concrete, which seriously affects the service life of the building. The most important technical measure to improve its durability is to use high-performance concrete with high resistance to chloride ion permeability, which fundamentally improves the reinforcing bar protection performance of concrete itself. The use of conventional materials, conventional technology can be formulated at room temperature resistance to chloride ion permeability and freeze-thaw resistance are strong high-performance concrete. The key to the preparation is to choose a high-efficiency water-reducing agent that matches the cement, and under the condition that the water-cement ratio is not greater than 0.35, the use of fly ash, ground slag powder, silica fume, and other mineral admixtures to replace part of the cement as a cementitious material. These finely ground mineral admixtures exert a filling effect and volcanic ash reaction in the mixed concrete, making the concrete denser and thus reducing the permeability of the concrete. Reducing the water consumption of the concrete mix and using a low water-to-cement ratio is the key to improving the durability of concrete.

(2) Technical indicators

The test of durability of high performance concrete against chloride salt pollution should be in accordance with the relevant provisions of the current water transport industry standard, "Quality Control Standards for Concrete in Water Transportation Projects" JTJ269, and the flux characterizing the permeability of chloride ions should not be greater than 1,000 coulombs. China's industry standard "seaport engineering concrete structure anti-corrosion technical specifications" JTJ27 5-2000 on seaport engineering concrete structure requirements of high-performance concrete put forward the following technical indicators:

Concrete mix hardened concrete

Water-cementitious ratio Total amount of cementitious material (kg/m3) Slump (mm) Strength class Anti-chlorine ion permeability (C)

≤0.35 ≥400≥120≥C45≤1OOO

The concrete raw materials also put forward the corresponding technical requirements. The water reduction rate of water reducing agent is not less than 20%. Admixtures should be selected with fineness not less than 4000 cm2/g of ground blast furnace slag, I, II fly ash and silica fume. The fineness modulus of fine aggregate is between 2.6-3.2. The maximum particle size of coarse aggregate should not be larger than 25mm, and the anti-chlorine ion permeability index should reach the specified requirements by reducing the water-cement ratio and adjusting the mixing amount of admixtures in the mixing ratio design. Concrete mixing should use forced mixer, mixing time should be longer than the conventional concrete more than 4Os. The concrete should be covered immediately after plastering. After final setting, the top surface of concrete shall immediately begin continuous moist curing, at room temperature, at least 15d.

(3)Scope of application

Applicable to marine engineering, highway and bridge engineering in winter spreading de-icing salts, salty areas and shore buildings closer to the sea, and other buildings and structures in the chlorine and salt contaminated environment.

(4)Typical projects that have been applied

The technology is cost-effective, raw materials are easy to obtain, and the preparation process is simple. So in recent years has been in the north and south of all kinds of ports and cross-sea bridge project application. Such as Shanghai Yangshan Deep Water Harbor Project, East China Sea Bridge, Hangzhou Bay Bridge, Yantian Port Container Terminal, aid to Pakistan Gwadar Terminal Project.

The use of chlorine salt contamination of high-performance concrete than ordinary concrete unit price increase is quite limited, but its durability life doubled compared to the effect of greatly reducing the service life of the building costs, economic and social benefits are very significant, the application of a very broad prospect.

Clear water concrete technology

Clear water concrete refers to the structure of the concrete after hardening is no longer on the surface of any decoration, to the concrete color directly as the building's exterior finish. With fair-faced concrete as a decorative surface, there are high requirements for aesthetics, color difference, surface bubbles, etc. Therefore, corresponding measures should be taken in concrete preparation, production, construction, maintenance and other aspects.

(1)Main technical content

①Concrete preparation

Concrete should use the same raw materials and the same proportion, the concrete mix should have good compatibility, no segregation, no water secretion.

Mineral admixture as an indispensable component of concrete, in consideration of the activity of the admixture at the same time, make full use of the different particle sizes of the various admixtures, the formation of a tight filling inside the concrete, to enhance the densification of the concrete, in the admixture should pay further attention to solving the adaptability of admixtures and cement, to reduce the rate of urination of the concrete, to reduce the slump of the concrete loss of the time.

In addition to the different water-cement ratio will lead to changes in the color of the hardened concrete, the impact of aggregates on the appearance can not be ignored, so the same visual surface of the concrete project, the same type of aggregate should be used.

②Concrete template

In order to make the surface of the concrete smooth and bubble-free, according to different strength levels of concrete should be selected from different materials of the template, while the mold release agent in addition to play the role of mold release, should not affect the appearance of the concrete.

③Concrete construction

When pouring concrete, the distance between the concrete discharge port and the pouring surface should not be too large, otherwise the concrete will be easy to segregate, and it is suitable to make slurry on the surface of the concrete when vibrating, and at the same time, it should be avoided to miss vibration and over vibration.

①Raw material quality

Formulation of ultra-high pumping range concrete, its raw materials than the general pumping concrete has a big difference. As the most basic cementing material - cement, in addition to the amount of cement, should also give full consideration to the rheology of cement, that is, the compatibility of cement and high-performance water reducing agent, the two compatibility is good to obtain low water consumption and large mobility, and slump through the time of loss of the effect of small. For the fine aggregate, its quality should be in line with the "sand quality standards and test methods for ordinary concrete" (JGJ52), in addition to different strength levels of concrete should be used in different modulus of fineness of the sand. Admixtures as an important component of high-performance high pumping range concrete need to be balanced from the activity, particle composition, water reduction, heat of hydration, pumping performance and other aspects of the choice. As an admixture, a single component of the admixture has not been able to play its role well, and purely for the purpose of water reduction admixture can not achieve the purpose of ultra-high pumping range of the use of concrete, admixture multi-component composite, as well as for the specific requirements of specific projects formulated admixture has become an important aspect of the admixture manufacturer to strengthen the field service.
