This book was released on 2013 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock-filled concrete (RFC), formed by pouring self-compacting concrete (SCC) into rock blocks, is a newly developed type of mass concrete. It is important to determine its coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in engineering applications. In this study the CTE of RFC was determined for the first time using thermal expansion tests. RFC with three rock rates was measured at different ages. Meanwhile, the CTEs of SCC and rock blocks were experimentally tested for subsequent numerical simulation and theoretical analysis. The CTE of RFC was then evaluated numerically and theoretically based on the constituent materials. A three-dimensional finite element model was built for the numerical simulation of the thermal expansion tests of RFC. In addition, two composite models were used for the theoretical evaluation of the CTE of RFC based on the material parameters of SCC and rock blocks. The obtained numerical and theoretical CTE values agree well with the experimental CTE value. The numerical simulation and theoretical formulas can be used to estimate the CTE of RFC, thereby overcoming the high cost of complex experimental measurements.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new mineralogical approach is introduced to predict aggregate and concrete coefficient of thermal expansion (CoTE). Basically, a modeling approach is suggested based on the assumption that the CoTE of aggregate and concrete can be predicted from the CoTE of their constituent components. Volume percentage, CoTE and elastic modulus of each constituent mineral phase are considered as input for the aggregate CoTE model, whereas the same properties for coarse aggregate and mortar are considered for the concrete CoTE model. Methods have been formulated to calculate the mineral volume percentage from bulk chemical analysis for different type of rocks commonly used as aggregates in Texas. The dilatometer testing method has been established to measure the CoTE of aggregate, pure minerals, and concrete. Calculated aggregate CoTE, based on the determined CoTE of pure minerals and their respective calculated volume percentages, shows a good resemblance with the measured aggregate CoTE by dilatometer. Similarly, predicted concrete CoTE, based on the calculated CoTE of aggregate and mortar and their respective volume percentages compares well with the measured concrete CoTE by dilatometer. Such a favorable comparison between predicted and measured CoTE provided a basis to establish the composite model to predict aggregate and concrete CoTE. Composite modeling will be useful to serve as a check of aggregate source variability in terms of quality control measures and improved design and quality control measures of concrete.
