Book Evaluation of Self consolidating Concrete for Bridge Structure Applications

Download or read book Evaluation of Self consolidating Concrete for Bridge Structure Applications written by Alen Horta and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. 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.

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.

Book Mechanical Properties of Self Compacting Concrete

Download or read book Mechanical Properties of Self Compacting Concrete written by Kamal H. Khayat and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-05 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State-of-the-Art Report of RILEM Technical Committee 228-MPS on Mechanical properties of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) summarizes an extensive body of information related to mechanical properties and mechanical behaviour of SCC. Due attention is given to the fact that the composition of SCC varies significantly. A wide range of mechanical properties are considered, including compressive strength, stress-strain relationship, tensile and flexural strengths, modulus of elasticity, shear strength, effect of elevated temperature, such as fire spalling and residual properties after fire, in-situ properties, creep, shrinkage, bond properties and structural behaviour. A chapter on fibre-reinforced SCC is included, as well as a chapter on specialty SCC, such as light-weight SCC, heavy-weight SCC, preplaced aggregate SCC, special fibre reinforced SCC and underwater concrete.

Book Structural Performance of Prestressed Self consolidating Concrete Bridge Girders Made with Limestone Aggregates

Download or read book Structural Performance of Prestressed Self consolidating Concrete Bridge Girders Made with Limestone Aggregates written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies have shown that the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) results in improved finished quality, increased production efficiency, and reduced labor cost. Because of the favorable properties that SCC exhibits, the Federal Highway Administration and the precast concrete industry have been promoting the research and development of SCC for structural applications in bridges. In 2007, researchers at South Dakota State University (SDSU) concluded an experimental study on three full-scale prestressed bridge girders. One of the three girders was cast using conventional concrete and served as a control specimen, while the other two girders were cast using SCC. The SCC mix was made with quartzite coarse aggregate that is commonly used in eastern South Dakota. The results of the study show that the structural performance of the prestressed SCC girders is similar to that of the control prestressed girder. It was also observed that the SCC girders have a better finished surface than the conventional concrete girder. The study in this report involves material testing of SCC mixtures and structural testing of full-scale prestressed bridge girders.
