Chloride Ingress Resistant Concrete: High Performance Concrete Containing Supplementary Composites

1 Associate Professor of Structural Engineering College of Engineering, King Saud University Email: [email protected] Abstract – In Reinforced concrete structures chloride ion penetration is considered to be a major cause of corrosion of reinforcing bars. Conventional concretes fail to prevent the intrusion of moisture and aggressive ions adequately. The use supplementary cementing composite ma...

Towards Better Understanding of Concrete Containing Recycled Concrete Aggregate

The effect of using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) on the basic properties of normal concrete is studied. First, recycled aggregate properties have been determined and compared to those of normal aggregates. Except for absorption, there was not a significant difference between the two. Later, recycled aggregates were introduced in concrete mixes. In these mixes, natural coarse aggregate was...

Performance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement Containing Recycled Concrete Aggregate

In 1995, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began reconstruction in Houston on a section of IH-10 with continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). The unique aspect of this project was the use of crushed concrete as both coarse and fine aggregates in the new concrete. No virgin aggregates were used. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) the material propert...

Study on Performance of Concrete Made from Sewage Sludge Ceramsite

In this paper, using sewage sludge carried out to manufacture high performance ceramsite. At the same time, the performance of concrete made from sewage sludge ceramsite was analyzed. The results show that the ceramist is mainly composed of cristobalite and mullet, and has dense enamel structure on surface and honeycomb closed fine porous structure in internal. Too large ceramsite size can caus...
