Comparison and Selection of the Durability Evaluating Parameters of Concrete in Saline Soil Region

Abstract:

The mal-condition of environment directly affects the durability of concrete, and which has become a widespread problem under the complicated environment conditions. Domestic and overseas scholars have carried out many researches on the durability of concreteunder different environmental conditions. The mass and the dynamic elastic modulus loss are focused as two major criteria in the evaluation of concrete damage. The article further gives researches on the durability of concrete in the saline soil environment in the west region of Jilin province. The concrete durability tests are conducted under the actions of salt soaking, salt corrosion and freezing-thawing cycles, and salt corrosion and dry-wet cycles. Comparing the test results in the same coordinate system, it is concluded that the dynamic elastic modulus of concrete can reflect the degradation process of concrete performance more accurately and intuitively, and forecast the failure behavior of concrete under the action of various environmental factors timely and effectively. Therefore it can be used as the main index for no damage detection, while the mass loss can be acted as the auxiliary detection index during the concrete durability tests.
