Experimental Investigation of Neutralisation of Concrete with Fly Ash as Fine Aggregate in Freeze-Thaw Environment

الملخص EN

To study the durability of concrete with fly ash as fine aggregate under alternate freeze-thaw and carbonation, freeze-thaw and carbonation cyclic tests are conducted to explore variation characteristics such as relative dynamic modulus of elasticity and neutralisation depth.

The influence coefficient (λC) of carbonation on concrete freeze-thaw damage and the influence coefficient (λF) of freeze-thaw on concrete neutralisation are introduced.

In addition, scanning electron microscopy is performed to reveal the deterioration mechanism of the alternating effect.

Finally, through a regression analysis of test data, the mathematical expression of the composite damage coefficient kF under alternate freeze-thaw and carbonation is obtained.

Based on these findings, a prediction model of the neutralisation depth of concrete is established with number of freeze-thaw cycles and water-cement ratio as parameters.

The values calculated through this model and the values measured in the tests are highly correlated.

This provides a theoretical reference and basis for the analysis of concrete durability in a multifactor environment.
