Effect of Area Ratio of Coarse Aggregate on Erosion Resistance of Offshore Concrete Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study investigates the effects of the compressive strength and area ratio of coarse aggregate of concrete for offshore construction on the erosion depth. To evaluate the erosion resistance of concrete, test was performed according to ASTM C 1138 using a plain mix with design strength of 30 MPa using only Portland cement and five other mixes including different quantities of fly ash and blast furnace slag. The test results showed that the erosion depth is influenced not only by the compressive strength but also by the area ratio of coarse aggregate.
