Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its long history, sulfate soundness testing of aggregates has been frequently cited for poor reliability as a predictor of concrete durability. However, its use remains widespread, even to the point of constituting an acceptance test criterion for aggregates. Sodium sulfate soundness tests of coarse aggregates are compared in this paper with freezing and thawing tests of air-entrained concretes containing the aggregates. In one case, sodium sulfate soundness displayed a relationship to durability (freezing and thawing) test results, in a statistical sense, but the level of predictability was poor. In another test series, the level of predictability fell within the range of pure chance.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many tests have been developed to empirically characterize aggregate without necessarily strong relationships with the performance of final products incorporating these aggregates. This seems to be particularly true for "toughness and abrasion resistance" and "durability and soundness." Toughness/abrasion resistance and durability/soundness of aggregate are correlated, but represent resistance to degradation when subject to mechanical forces and weathering, respectively. A literature review identified five toughness/abrasion resistance and four durability/soundness test procedures. Sixteen aggregates with a wide range of properties were tested with eight of the identified test procedures. Results from the tests and test precisions were compared.

Download or read book Aggregates in Concrete written by Mark Alexander and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together in one volume the latest research and information, this book provides a detailed guide to the selection and use of aggregates in concrete. After an introduction defining the purpose and role of aggregates in concrete, the authors present an overview of aggregate sources and production techniques, followed by a detailed study of their physical, mechanical and chemical properties. This knowledge is then applied to the use of aggregates in both plastic and hardened concretes, and in the overall mix design. Special aggregates and their applications are discussed in detail, as are the current main specifications, standards and tests.
