• Abstract:
  A two part laboratory experimental program was conducted to evaluate strength and durability of various concrete mix ; designs. In Part I of the study, the influence of using Grade 120 ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) on the ; strength and durability properties of concrete was evaluated. GGBFS was used to replace Portland cement at replacement ; rates ranging from 0 to 75 percent. Other test variables included the use of cements with different alkali contents, fly ash, ; silica fume, and type K cement. Strength testing included compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile ; strength. Durability testing included: freeze-thaw resistance, shrinkage testing, rapid chloride ion penetration testing, and ; abrasion resistance testing. Based on the test results, the addition of GGBFS at rates as high as 55 percent of the total ; cementitious material resulted in strength that, after 14 days, equaled or exceeded those of the baseline concrete mix. The ; incorporation of GGBFS in concrete mix significantly improved the resistance to chloride ion penetration. In Part II of the study, the influence of coarse aggregate size on the strength and durability of the ODOT Class C mix ; designs was evaluated. Coarse aggregate sizes included #57, #46, and #357. The ODOT high performance concrete mix ; designs were also included in this study. Test results are presented in tabular and graphical formats.
