Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is one of the leading causes of concrete deterioration throughout the world, and affects both structural and non-structural elements. Despite strong research efforts since its discovery by Stanton in the late 1930s, this deteriorating reaction is still not clearly understood nor are proper preventative measures effectively applied to reduce the risk of ASR. Central to the debate is a lack of clear understanding about how supplementary cementing materials (SCMs), in particular fly ash, limit the progression of the reaction. One reason for avoiding the use of a certain fly ash in concrete is the alkali content of the particular fly ash. Because there is very little guidance and no standardized test to accurately measure the contribution of alkalies from a given ash in a real concrete mixture, many ashes are simply avoided. Development and standardization of a rapid test method to accurately predict the contribution of fly ash alkalies to the pore solution of concrete is the goal of a multi-phase project in the Civil Engineering department at Oregon State University. The first phase of the project included performing a series of ASTM C 1567 tests (Standard Test Method for Potential Reactivity of Aggregates (Mortar-Bar Method)) utilizing various materials and replacement levels to determine the effectiveness of different fly ashes in the mitigation of ASR expansion. Also, predictive equations introduced by Malvar et al were applied to a variety of materials to determine the efficacy of different fly ashes to control alkali silica reaction based on chemical composition. In addition, pore solution evaluation was conducted using a specialized extraction device, one of only 3 of its kind in the United States. This process, carried out on 265 paste samples made of various combinations of cements, fly ashes and fly ash replacement levels, enabled the authors to evaluate the effects of curing temperature, time and raw material chemistry on the paste pore solution. The results of the pore solution analysis were compared against the expansion tests and it was concluded that aluminum also plays a key role in the ability of a given ash to mitigate alkali-silica reaction.

Book excerpt: Since it was first recognized as a mineral admixture for concrete in the 1930's, fly ash has been the subject of worldwide study as researchers work to maximize its economical and environmental benefits. In recent years, investigations have focused on the physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics of fly ash and their specific correlation to the performance of concrete. This book collects the latest results from these various studies and offers a complete review of the advantages of fly ash as an admixture in concrete, including strength development and improved chemical resistance and durability. A review of the current international standards on fly ash usage is provided, in addition to an extensive reference list and a complete survey of various other fly ash products, such as bricks, mineral wool and gypsum wall boards, as well as the use of fly ash in waste management.

This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of silica fume and fly ash on reducing the risk of concrete damage due to alkali-silica reaction are presented in this thesis. One silica fume and twenty fly ashes of a wide range of chemical composition were investigated. The effect of the selected materials on expansion when used with high-alkali Portland cement and a siliceous limestone reactive aggregate (Spratt) was evaluated using the concrete prism and the accelerated mortar bar tests. Portland cement pastes and lime/pozzolan blends were prepared using similar combinations of materials used in the expansion tests. These samples were used to study the effects of fly ash and silica fume on the pore solution alkalinity and composition of hydration products. The study showed that the efficiency of fly ash in limiting the risk of deleterious expansion is linked to its efficiency in lowering the pore solution alkalinity. High-calcium and high-alkali fly ashes are generally less effective in this respect compared to low-calcium ash. Silica fume was found to be effective in reducing the pore solution alkalinity at early ages; however, the alkalinity was found to increase at ages later than 28 days. Combinations of moderate levels of silica fume (5%) and high-calcium fly ash (20-30%) were found to be effective in limiting the expansion even after three years. This was attributable to the high capacity of such combinations to achieve and maintain low pore solution alkalinity. The silica fume reduces the pore solution alkalinity at early ages and the fly ash maintained the low alkalinity at later ages. The study showed that, for low and moderate-alkali fly ash, the 14-day expansion in the accelerated mortar bar test could be used to predict the 2-year expansion of concrete prisms. The results from the lime/pozzolan blends confirmed that the hydration products of pozzolan play the dominant role in reducing the pore solution alkalinity of cementitious systems containing pozzolans. The two-year expansion of concrete prisms containing fly ash could be correlated reliably to the alkalis available from the ash as determined by leaching mature paste samples in leaching solution of alkali ion concentration of 0.25 moles per litre.

This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 855 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an updated state-of-the-art review on new developments in alkali-activation. The main binder of concrete, Portland cement, represents almost 80% of the total CO2 emissions of concrete which are about 6 to 7% of the Planet’s total CO2 emissions. This is particularly serious in the current context of climate change and it could get even worse because the demand for Portland cement is expected to increase by almost 200% by 2050 from 2010 levels, reaching 6000 million tons/year. Alkali-activated binders represent an alternative to Portland cement having higher durability and a lower CO2 footprint. Reviews the chemistry, mix design, manufacture and properties of alkali-activated cement-based concrete binders Considers performance in adverse environmental conditions. Offers equal emphasis on the science behind the technology and its use in civil engineering.
