This research was conducted to evaluate abrasion resistance of high-volume fly ash concrete. A reference plain portland cement concrete was proportioned to obtain 28day strength of 41 MPa. Concrete mixtures were also proportioned to have two levels of cement replacements (50 and 70%) with an ASTM Class C fly ash. Abrasion tests were carried out using the rotating cutter method as per ASTM C-944...

There are different test methods to determine the abrasion resistance of concrete subjected to number of various types of abrasion. There are number of different tests used in various countries and it is clear that there is no single test that adequately measures the abrasion resistance of concrete under all conditions. This paper covers the summary and classification of the various abrasion te...

This investigation was performed to establish the effects of the source and amount of fly ash on abrasion resistance of concrete. A reference concrete was proportioned to have a 28day age strength of 41 MPa. Three sources of Class C fly ash were used in this research. From each source, three levels of fly ash to total cementitious materials content (40, 50, and 60%) were used in producing the c...

The use of roller compacted concrete (R.C.C) without conventional cover in important hydraulic structures is investigated through laboratory observation of abrasion phenomena sujected to high velocity flow and floating particles. The main parameters affecting abrasion and erosion resistance of R.C.C. studied in the present study include: "Mixed Hydraulic&#10&#10Mean Radius" (which collectively ...

an experimental program was carried out to investigate the behavior of steel, fiber reinforced concrete (sfrc) under abrasion and cycles of freeze and them. compression and flexural tests were also performed in order to reach a comprehensive conclusion of the response. in total, over 200 specimens were tested the test variables included two concrete strength., (i. e., 28 mpa as normal strength ...

Synopsis: This paper provides the state-of-the-art information on high-calcium, ASTM Class C fly ash use in cement-based construction materials, such as high-performance concrete, ready-mixed concrete, and low-strength flowable concrete. The major topics included are: properties of fly ash, effects of fly ash inclusion on fresh and hardened concrete and controlled low-strength materials (CLSM);...

Many concrete structures are required to have sufficient abrasion resistance, such as dams, canals, roads and floors. The abrasion resistance of concrete may be defined as its ability to resist being worn away by rubbing. Compressive strength and aggregate type are also important factors affecting the abrasive behaviour of concrete. However, very little information on the properties of haematit...

This paper summarizes the results of an investigation on carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in concrete. Concrete mixtures were not air entrained. Concrete mixtures were made containing Class C fly ash at 0%, 18%, and 35% of total cementitious materials. Effects of three different curing environments on properties of concrete were studied: (1) moist-curing room with 100% relative humidity (RH) ...
