Influence of Fly Ash Dosage and Desert Sand Replacement Ratio (DSRR) on the Carbonation Resistance of Concrete

Abstract:

Carbonation of concrete causes corrosion of the steel reinforcement and reduces the service life of the structure. Based on the reality that fly ash discharge is increasing year by year and construction sand is becoming increasingly limited, it is of practical importance to study the effect of fly ash dosage and desert sand replacement rate on the carbonation resistance of concrete. Orthogonal test L₉(3⁴) with four factors and three levels was designed to study the influence of water-binder ratio, fly ash dosage, sand ratio and DSRR on carbonation resistance of desert sand concrete (DSC). The results of the orthogonal tests were analysed by range analysis and ANOVA and a comparatively better concrete mix ratio was given. Next, single-factor tests were designed to investigate the effects of fly ash and desert sand replacement rates on the carbonation resistance of DSC respectively. The regression model among carbonation depth, fly ash dosage and DSRR was established. The experimental results show that the carbonation depth of concrete with fly ash as a single variable increases with the amount of fly ash, increasing more rapidly in the early stages than in the later stages. As the DSRR increases, the carbonation depth of concrete with desert sand as a single variable first decreases and then increases and reaches its lowest value when DSRR equals 20%. When fly ash and desert sand are mixed into concrete simultaneously, the carbonation depth reaches minimum value on the condition that fly ash dosage is 10% and DSRR is 20%.
