  • Carbonation curing effect on belite-rich cement paste with sugar or salt additive as a set controller

  • Physicochemical properties of CO2-cured belite-rich cement with electric arc furnace reduction slag as a partial replacement

    Developments in the Built Environment, 2024
    This study investigates the physicochemical properties of CO 2 -cured belite-rich cement with electric arc furnace (EAF) reduction slag as a partial replacement at varying weight percentages (0–20%). The results revealed that water-cured specimens (WRS) showed significant increases in the numbers of gel and medium capillary pores, while carbonation-cured specimens (CRS) demonstrated increases in the numbers of large capillary and macro pores. Moreover, up to 10% replacement of the slag led to a decrease in the compressive strength, accompanied by increased CO 2 absorption and reduced alkalinity. When the EAF reduction slag content increased from 15% to 20%, CRS exhibited a trend reversal in the compressive strength, marked by an increase in the pH, approaching compressive strength comparable to those of WRS. This signified that higher percentages of EAF reduction slag are advantageous for enhancing CO 2 sequestration due to the potential reactivity of magnesium oxide in EAF reduction slag with CO 2 . • CO 2 -cured belite-rich cement with electric arc furnace reduction slag was studied. • Higher amount of the slag was advantageous for enhancing CO 2 sequestration. • Higher amount of the slag has a disadvantage in terms of strength and shrinkage regardless of curing method.

  • Fracture monitoring of steel and GFRP reinforced concrete beams using acoustic emission and digital image correlation techniques

    Structural Concrete, 2021
    In this work, fracture monitoring of steel and GFRP bars reinforced concrete beams in flexure is investigated by using non‐destructive acoustic emission (AE) and digital image correlation (DIC) techniques. The combined methodology provides complementary information from 'the ear' aided by the AE and from 'the eye' aided by the DIC. AE waveform parameters of the number of AE hits and their amplitudes, cumulative signal strength (CSS), average frequency, and rise‐time successfully pick‐up the divergent cracking initiation and fracture progression in steel‐reinforced concrete (RC) and GFRP‐RC beams. AE‐XY plots and longitudinal strain profiles obtained from DIC give an early, online, and real‐time representation of progressive AE activity and strains inside concrete much before it is visible to the naked eye. AE in conjunction with DIC was able to efficaciously depict the micro‐and‐macro cracks evolution and their advancement in steel‐RC and GFRP‐RC at various stages of loading Moreover, DIC identified critical damage areas as a function of loading periods, while AE was capable of monitoring the damage process and revealed changes in the overall behavior. It is successfully demonstrated that combined AE and DIC monitoring can enhance non‐destructive monitoring skills in RC structures involving widely different steel and GFRP bars as reinforcements and depict efficaciously their fracture/cracking behavior.
  • Non-destructive evaluation of steel and gfrp reinforced beams using ae and dic techniques
    G. Sharma, Shruti Sharma, Sandeep Sharma
    Structural Engineering and Mechanics, 2021
    The paper presents an investigation of the widely varying mechanical performance and behaviour of steel and Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete beams using non-destructive techniques of Acoustic Emission (AE) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) under four-point bending. Laboratory experiments are performed on both differently reinforced concrete beams with 0.33%, 0.52% and 1.11% of tension reinforcement against balanced section. The results show that the ultimate load-carrying capacity increases with an increase in tensile reinforcement in both cases. In addition to that, AE waveform parameters of amplitude and number of AE hits successfully correlates and picks up the divergent mechanism of cracking initiation and progression of failure in steel reinforced and GFRP reinforced concrete beams. AE activity is about 20- 30% more in GFRP-RC beams as compared to steel-RC beams. It was primarily due to the lower modulus of elasticity of GFRP bars leading to much larger ductility and deflections as compared to steel-RC beams. Furthermore, AE XY event plots and longitudinal strain profiles using DIC gives an online and real-time visual display of progressive AE activity and strains respectively to efficaciously depict the crack evolution and their advancement in steel-RC and GFRP-RC beams which show a close matching with the micro-and macro-cracks visually observed in the actual beams at various stages of loading.
