Study on Durability of Concrete with Machine-Made Sand Part I: Time-Dependent Chloride Penetration

Abstract:

As part of the studies on the durability of concrete with machine-made sand, this paper introduces the test results and the forecast model of time-dependent chloride penetration of this kind of concrete. Three strength grades of concrete C30, C40 and C50, and the contents of stone powder in machine-made sand of 5%, 9% and 13% in mass were considered in the mix proportion of concrete with machine-made sand. The ordinary concrete with natural river sand in the same strength grade was tested at the same time for comparison. The test was conducted for 360 days, the results showed that the effect of the content of stone powder on the chloride penetration of concrete was obvious at early curing time of 7 days, and tended to be lower with the increase of curing time. When the curing time was longer than 90 days, this effect could be neglected, and the resistance to chloride penetration of concrete with machine-made sand was almost equal to or larger than that of ordinary concrete. The decrement of chloride diffusion coefficient varied from sharp to gentle with the curing time, the resistance of concrete to chloride penetration increased with the increase of concrete strength. Meanwhile, to facilitate the calculation in practice, the forecast model of chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete is proposed.
