Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this research was to determine whether precast prestressed bridge elements with congested reinforcement could be cast using self-consolidating concrete (SCC) without vibration and yet comply with all parameters of strength, no honeycombing, and void-free surface finish. Eight wall panels and eight BT-72 13-ft long girder sections were fabricated in two precast plants. A qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the surface finish, and homogeneity of the concrete throughout the specimens was performed. Strength, creep, shrinkage and chloride permeability of the SCC field mixes were investigated. Good quality SCC mixes were produced for the walls and the BT-72 girder sections, which completely filled the specimens without the need of internal or external vibration, and resulted in a superior surface finish and a homogenous distribution of the aggregate throughout the section.

Larson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of an extensive experimental program conducted to determine the material, bond characteristics, and time-dependent deformations of a proposed self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixture for bridge girders are presented. This research program was completed in three phases. The first phase consisted of 15 full-scale, pretensioned SCC flexural specimens tested to evaluate their transfer and development lengths. These specimens included both single-strand and multiple-strand beams, as well as specimens designed to evaluate the so-called 'top-strand' effect. The top-strand specimens, with more than 20 inches of concrete below the strand, were tested to evaluate the current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials requirement of a 30% increase in the development length when the concrete below the strand is more than 12 inches. Strand end-slip measurements, used to estimate transfer lengths, indicated the proposed SCC mixture meets ACI and AASHTO requirements. In addition, flexural tests confirmed the proposed SCC mixture also meets current code requirements for development length. The second phase was to evaluate the elastic shortening, creep, and shrinkage properties of the proposed SCC mixture for bridge girders. Four bridge girders with an inverted-T profile were used to measure these time-dependent deformations. In two of the specimens, the strands were tensioned to 75% of the ultimate tensile strength, simulating a girder at service. Strands of the other two specimens were left untensioned to evaluate shrinkage effect of the concrete alone. The shrinkage was then subtracted from the fully tensioned specimens and elastic shortening and creep were isolated after relaxation losses were calculated from code expressions. In addition, the fully tensioned specimens were used to determine transfer lengths of the prestressing strand. The final phase of the program was to record strain measurements of the actual bridge girders used in the field. Elastic shortening, creep, and shrinkage prestress losses of the proposed SCC mixture were compared with current design equations. Instrumentation of seven pretensioned girders in a five-span bridge located in Cowley County, Kansas, was used to measure time-dependent deformations. Three of these girders utilized SCC, while the other four were cast with conventional concrete.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional concrete tends to present a problem with regard to adequate consolidation in thin sections or areas of congested reinforcement, which leads to a large volume of entrapped air voids and compromises the strength and durability of the concrete. Using self-consolidating concrete (SCC) can minimize the problem since it was designed to consolidate under its own mass. This study examined several mixture designs in the laboratory with the goal of creating mixtures with desirable flow characteristics that did not require additional consolidation yet provided adequate compressive strength, low permeability, shrinkage control, and resistance to cycles of freezing and thawing. The results provided a foundation for determining if SCC could be produced on a commercial scale using locally available materials at two concrete plants. SCC from one plant was used in a field application for a small bridge in a residential area. The results showed that with adjustments to the mixture proportions, SCC can be produced successfully and provide many benefits to transportation agencies and the construction industry.

This book was released on 2010-08-12 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to organize the Sixth International RILEM Symposium on SCC and the Fourth North-American Conference on the Design and Use of SCC, held on Sept 26-29, 2010 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The RILEM series of symposia started in 1999 in Stockholm, followed by Tokyo in 2001, Reykjavik in 2003, Chicago in 2005, and Ghent in 2007 with a steadily increasing number of papers, participants, and interest from across the globe. Due to the growing success of SCC, regional conferences have been organized, such as the North-American Conference on the Design and Use of SCC held in Chicago in 2002, 2005, and 2008; the International Symposium on Design, Performance and Use of SCC held nd in Changsa, China in 2005 and in Beijing, China in 2009; as well as the 2 International Conference on Advances in Concrete Technology in the Middle East: SCC held in Abu Dhabi in 2009. It can be concluded that these regional Conferences and Symposia were highly successful and reached a far more international audience than anticipated. Nearly 100 papers were submitted for these proceedings from which the International Scientific Committee selected 37 contributions covering a wide range of timely and original subjects from around the world. We would like to acknowledge the input of the International Scientific Committee for providing critical input to guarantee high quality of these peer-reviewed proceedings. We invite you to explore a wealth of information in the electronic proceedings.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research is to evaluate the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of SCC developed for CIP applications, especially for CIP bridge components and compare these properties with the predictions models in accordance with AASHTO LRFD 2014 provisions and other codes. Several compression, splitting, flexural, push-off, and pull out tests were conducted on large number of SCC mixtures to recommend modification factors for the CVC prediction models when SCC is used. Also, the effects of SCMs, aggregate type, and aggregate size on viscoelastic and mechanical properties were investigated. Full-scale bridge pier and post-tensioned girder were erected and tested to evaluate the constructability and structural behavior of ready-mixed SCC used in field applications.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-consolidating concrete (SCC), with its ability to flow without vibration, minimize construction labor and achieve superior finish quality, is very attractive to the concrete industry. However, its acceptance in the U.S. has been slow. Particularly in bridge applications, where questions and concerns about design and construction issues perceived to influence the performance of members built with SCC have prevented Departments of Transportation (DOT) from accepting SCC. With support from the FHWA and the Michigan DOT, the demonstration project, summarized in this report, has permitted the evaluation of the aforesaid concerns. The M-50/US-127 Bridge over the Grand River, B02 of 38071 (Jackson, Michigan) features SCC prestressed box beams on half of its structure (3 beams). The demonstration project considered the evaluation of three different mix design approaches to SCC together with a reference normally consolidated concrete mix (NCC). Before the SCC beams were accepted for implementation, their performance was evaluated through full-scale (27" x 36" x 52') structural testing to ensure that their flexural and shear performance was equal to or better than that exhibited by the NCC beams. To evaluate of long-term performance, a field monitoring system composed of thermocouples and strain gages was placed on the SCC beams and one of the NCC beams at different cross-sections along their lengths and one year of recorded data, from December 2005 to December 2006, has been studied.
