Mechanical and Physical Study of Concrete Substitutes with Silica Powder Exposed in Simulated Aggressive Environment
Journal: Journal of Building Technology DOI: 10.32629/jbt.v5i2.1262
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the performance of standardized cylindrical specimens in simulated exposure environments by immersing them in a 3% NaCl solution. The physical and mechanical evaluation was performed on reinforced cylindrical specimens of 30 cm high and 15 cm in diameter. The specimens are made of concrete with partial replacement of the cement by silica doses in 10% and 15%, with water cement ratio of 0.45 and 0.65 and a design strength of 250 kgf/cm². Settlement tests, porosity, capillary absorption and mechanical resistance were performed in a period of 5 months, and the influence of silica powder substitution in concrete mixtures on the standard mixture was analyzed. It was found that the mechanical strength increased compared to the design strength, with an a/c ratio of 0.45 and 0.65. Compared with the design strength, the mechanical strength of the substitute mixture reached an acceptable value. As for the porosity and capillary absorption tests, they were not satisfactory for any relation to a/c, probably due to lack of curing prior to exposure.
