Toward a mixture design methodology for internally cured concrete that considers filling specific pore sizes caused by self-desiccation

Creator:: Montanari, Luca
Abstract:: Internal curing is a term used to describe a process in which curing water is provided to a concrete mixture from inside the mixture. Internal curing water has typically been provided in North America mixtures by using prewetted porous materials, like fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA). Alternative materials, such as superabsorbent...

Durability and Performance of High Early Strength Concrete for Structural Bridge Deck Overlays

Creator:: Smith, Jeremy A.
Abstract:: High early strength concrete (HESC) allows for faster construction with less impact on traffic, thus reducing the indirect costs associated with a project. There are multiple methods for achieving early strength, such as alternative cements like calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) or chemically accelerated portland cements. The standard criteria for an HESC...

A Comparison of Formation Factor to Standard Methods to Evaluate Transport Properties

Creator:: Whatley, Samantha N.
Abstract:: Chloride-induced corrosion is one of the primary causes of the degradation of reinforced steel in concrete structures. Currently, the rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT) is the most specified method to determine the concrete’s resistivity to chloride ingress, thus a determining factor in assessing the durability of concrete. While it is...

Autogenous deformation and chemical shrinkage of high performance cementitious systems

Creator:: Fu, Tengfei
Abstract:: In the past ten years, renewed research interest has shown the benefits of internal curing by incorporating saturated lightweight fine aggregate (LWFA) in high performance concrete (HPC). As a result, the technology of internal curing has steadily progressed from laboratory studies to field applications. To determine the optimum LWFA content,...

Improving the Performance of High Early Strength Concrete by Controlling Self-Desiccation and Mitigating Shrinkage

Creator:: Wilson, Cameron A.
Abstract:: High early strength (HES) concrete is becoming increasingly used to repair damaged concrete pavement sections. The use of HES concrete enables the repaired pavement to be opened to traffic within hours of placing the concrete. A common approach used for the rapid repair of concrete pavement consists of closing a...

Use of fly ash in the mitigation of alkali-silica reaction in concrete

Creator:: Schwing, Kelsea
Abstract:: 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...

The role of alumina in the mitigation of alkali-silica reaction

Creator:: Warner, Skyler J.
Abstract:: The use of fly ash as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) has increased in the last century due to its various environmental benefits as a recycled product. Within the last 60 years, it has been found that it can be used to effectively control damage induced by Alkali-Silica Reaction. However,...

The use of blended synthetic fibers to reduce cracking risk in high performance concrete (HPC)

Creator:: Bañuelos, José
Abstract:: High Performance Concrete (HPC) is used in our crucial pieces of infrastructure, such as bridge decks, due to its enhanced durability and engineering properties. However, HPC is highly susceptible to early-age cracking. Cracking within the first months of a bridge deck’s lifespan can severely hinder its long-term performance and durability....

Alkali-silica reaction in concrete containing recycled concrete aggregates

Creator:: Adams, Matthew P.
Abstract:: Using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a replacement for natural aggregate in new concrete is a promising way to increase the overall sustainability of new concrete. This has been hindered, however, by a general perception that RCA is a sub-standard material due to the lack of technical guidance, specifically related...

The Evaluation of Cementitious Pore Solution Composition and Electrical Resistivity Using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)

Creator:: Tsui Chang, Marisol
Abstract:: Interest in performance specifications has been growing in the civil and construction industry in the past decade. One major focus area has been on understanding how to prolong the service life of concrete structures, since repair and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure have cost many trillions of dollars. Deterioration mechanisms such...
