Analytical Study on the Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beam with Mineral Admixture under Calcium Leaching Degradation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Calcium leaching degradation could be happened in reinforcement concrete member due to the contact with pure water in underground condition. Thus, it is needed to evaluate the resistance of calcium leaching for concrete mixed with mineral admixtures. So, in this paper, to evaluate the flexural behavior in RC member with mineral admixture under calcium leaching degradation, we investigated the effect of calcium leaching using the non-linear finite-element program. From the results, the load capacity and flexible rigidity of a degraded RC member decrease when the degradation level increases with leaching period. And, regardless of the type of mineral admixtures, finite-element-method analysis effectively showed the characteristics of calcium leaching damaged RC beam.
