ABSTRACT

The February 2007 report issued by the International Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC) has stated in no uncertain terms that global warming is no longer an issue that has to be debated. According to the report, global warming is here and drastic actions are needed for the long-term sustainability of our environment. In the present investigation an attempt is made to use the role of supplementary cementing materials as partial replacement for cement in concrete in reducing green house gas emissions. Concrete has today very demanding performance requirements. In fresh concrete it is essential to have fairly high degree cohesiveness, pumpability, slump retention and also self-compacting nature. In hardened concrete properties such as high early strengths and late strengths, high elastic modulus, low creep, dimensional stability, low permeability, self weight and chloride resistance, chemical resistance, frost resistance and abrasive resistance are required in combinations depending on the type of structure being constructed and its environment. The results confirmed that Silica Fume and Metakaolin performed better than other SCMs for the strength development and bulk resistivity. The ternary mixes containing Silica Fume, Metakaolin performed the best amongst all the mixes to resist the chloride diffusion. The mix containing FA showed favorable permeation results. All the binary and ternary combinations can be considered to have resulted in high performance concretes with excellent durability properties.

In the last decade, the use of supplementary cementing materials has become

an integral part of high strength and high performance concrete mix design. These can be natural materials, by-products or industrial wastes. Some of the commonly used supplementary cementing materials are Flyash, Silica Fume (SF), Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and Rice Husk Ash (RHA). The aim of this research was to evaluate the performance of high strength and high performance concretes (HPC) containing supplementary cementitious materials in binary, ternary and tertiary blended concretes. Thus the research programme emphasises on the fact of using the industrial wastes like Fly ash, Blast Furnace Slag, Silica Fume, Metakaolin, Rice Husk Ash, etc., in concrete which can effectively reduce the global warming phenomenon. The research programme also emphasises on the microstructure study of High Performance Concrete by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS) tests. HPC specimens when examined using SEM showed dense microstructure compared to the microstructure of conventional concrete. This may be due to the bond between the aggregates and hydrated particles. The incorporation of SCMs acts as super filler and induces high pozzolanic reaction, which consumes the CH crystals produced during hydration and converts to C-S-H gel. The capillary voids found to be very due to lesser W/B ratio. This may be reason for improvement in the mechanical properties.

INTRODUCTION
The human lives and civilization had been conditioned by the

ability of man to use / master the materials even from prehistoric times. With the advancement of civilization, man has seen trying to use new / advanced materials and construction practices. The historians differentiated the periods of mans development such as Stone age, Bronze age and Iron age. Now, the running period is the Concrete age. The worldwide consumption of concrete, at present is about 12,000 million tones a year. Man consumes no other material in such tremendous quantities next to water. The world is experiencing population explosion problem and the natural resources are depleting rapidly. There is no replenishment of the depleted natural resources. The world consumption of Portland cement has risen from 2 million tones in 1880 to 1.66 billion tones by 2000. This may go up to 2.00 billion tones by 2010. The world population in the year 2000 is 6.0 billion and it may increase up to 9.0 billion by 2025.

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in

India with annual consumption exceeding 100 million cubic meters. It is well known that conventional concrete designed on the basis of compressive strength does not meet many functional requirements such as impermeability, resistance to frost, thermal cracking adequately. Conventional Portland cement concrete is found deficient in respect of: Durability in severe environments (Shorter service life and require maintenance) Time of construction (longer release time of forms and slower gain of strength) Energy absorption capacity (for earthquake-resistant structures) Repair and retrofitting jobs

The American Concrete Committee on HPC includes the following six criteria for material selections, mixing, placing, and curing procedures for concrete. Ease of placement Long term mechanical properties Early-age strength Toughness Life in severe environments Volumetric stability performance requirements can be grouped under the following three general categories.
(a) Attributes that benefit the construction process
(b) Attributes that lead to enhanced mechanical properties

(c) Attributes that enhance durability and long-term performance

DEFINITION OF HPC

The performance requirements of concrete cannot be the same for different applications. Hence the specific definition of HPC required for each industrial application is likely to vary. The Strategic Highway Research Programme (SHRP) has defined HPC for highway application on the following strength, durability, and w/c ratio criteria. (a) It should satisfy one of the following strength criteria: 4 hour strength - 17.5 Mpa 24 hour strength - 35.0 Mpa 28 days strength - 70.0 Mpa (b) It should have a durability factor greater than 80% after 300 cycles of freezing and thawing. (c) It should have a water-cement ratio of 0.35 or less.
In general, a High performance Concrete can be defined as that concrete which has the highest durability for any given strength class, and comparison between the concretes of different strength classes is not appropriate. This means that, with the available knowledge, one can always strive to achieve a better (most durable) concrete required for a particular application.

Paul Zia

HPC is a concrete, which meets special performance, and uniformity requirements that cannot be always achieved by using only the conventional materials and normal mixing, placing, and curing practices. The performance requirements may involve enhancement of placement and compaction without segregation and long term mechanical properties, early age strength, toughness, volume stability, service life. R .N. Swamy A High Performance concrete element is that which is designed to give optimized performance characteristics for a given set of load, usage and exposure conditions, consistent with requirement of cost, service life and durability. High Performance concrete has, (a) Very low porosity through a tight and refined pore structure of the cement paste. (b) Very low permeability of the concrete (c) High resistance to chemical attack. (d) Low heat of hydration (e) High early strength and continued strength development (f) High workability and control of slump (g) Low water binder ratio (h) Low bleeding and plastic shrinkage

Civil Engineering Research Foundation (CERP)

High performance construction materials and systems: An essential program for American and infrastructure. HPC is a concrete in which some or all of the following properties have been enhanced

(a) Ease of placement (b) Long term mechanical properties (c) Early age strength (d) Toughness (e) Volume stability (f) Extended service life in severe environments American Concrete Institute (ACI) A more broad definition of HPC was adopted by the ACI. HPC was defined as concrete, which meets special performance and uniformity requirements that cannot be always be achieved routinely by using only conventional materials and normal mixing, placing and curing practices. The requirements may involve enhancement of placement and compaction without segregation, long term mechanical properties, early age strength, volume stability or service life in severe environments. Concretes possessing many of these characteristics often achieve higher strength. Therefore, HPC is often of high strength, but high strength concrete may not necessarily be of high performance.

Methods for achieving High Performance

LITERATURE REVIEW
One of the specific objectives of the present work is to conduct an extensive literature search and review so that the existing knowledge about the mechanical properties of High-Performance-Concrete (HPC) could be summarized and significant gaps in knowledge identified. There has been a phenomenal increase in the development and use of High-Performance Concrete (HPC) in the last decade in developed countries. In India, the applications of HPC are very limited at present mainly due to the lack of systematic research on different raw materials and production techniques. Lack of proper structural design procedures which can be used specially for structures to be constructed with HPC is another major hindrance in our country. Also, there are no specified codes and provisions for usage of HPC in India and there are no defined mix proportioning methods available at present. These points are to be addressed for better applications of this wonderful concrete in India.

1. K. Ganesh Babu (1994), in his paper entitled Early Strength Behavior of Fly Ash Concretes has studied the behavior of fly ash concretes in early ages. The strength of concrete at early ages has assumed a considerable significance in recent years due to the several specific requirements of the modern construction industry, like the early striking forms, early transfer of prestress etc.
2. Kazuyuki Torii and Mitsunori Kawamura (1994), in

their paper entitled Effects of Fly Ash and Silica Fume on the Resistance of Mortar to Sulfuric Acid and Sulfate Attack have studied the effect of fly ash and silica fume on the properties of concrete subjected to acidic attack and sulphate attack. 3. J.P. Behera, B. Sarangi, B.D. Nayak and H. S. Ray (2000), in their paper entitled Investigations on the Development of Blended Cement Using Activated Fly Ash, have carried out an investigation to develop blended cement using flyash in activated form. Activated flyash has been mixed in the ratio of 20 percent, 30 percent, 40 percent and 50 percent by replacing Portland cement clinker. The cements have been prepared by grinding in ball mill with 30 percent of gypsum.

Ananda Kumar and D.L.Venkatesh Babu (2001), in their paper entitled Effect of Pulverized Fuel Ash (PFA) and Condensed Silica Fume (CSF) on the Strength of High Performance Concrete (HPC), have carried out an experimental investigation on the strength characteristics of high performance concrete (HPC). 5. H. Toutanji, N. Delatte, S. Aggoun, R. Duval, A. Danson, (2004), in their paper entitled Effect of Supplementary Cementitious Materials on the Compressive Strength and Durability of Short-Term Cured Concrete, have carried out an experimental investigation on the effect supplementary cementitious materials (silica fume, fly ash, slag, and their combinations) on strength and durability of concrete cured for a short period of time14 days. 6.

Park (2005), in their paper entitled Rheological Properties of Cementitious Materials Containing Mineral Admixtures, have investigated the rheological properties of cementitious materials containing fine particles, such as mineral admixtures (MA), using a Rotovisco RT 20 rheometer (Haake) with a cylindrical spindle.

7. Medhat H. Shehata, Michael D.A. Thomas (2006), in their paper entitled Alkali Release Characteristics of Blended Cements, the authors have carried out an experimental programme to investigate the capacity of hydration products of different cementing materials to retain "bound" alkalis when the alkalinity of the surrounding solution drops. 8. H. S. Chen, W. Sun and P. Stroeven (2003), in their paper titled Prediction of Compressive Strength and Optimization of Mixture Proportioning in Ternary Cementitious Systems, have discussed the application of the method of the simplex-lattice design for predicting the properties of cement-based composites.

9. W. Langan, K. Weng, M.A. Ward (2002), in their paper entitled Effect of Silica Fume and Fly Ash on Heat of Hydration of Portland Cement, have presented the results of calorimeter tests on Portland cement-silica fume-fly ash mixtures. Data indicate that silica fume accelerates cement hydration at higher water /cementitious ratios and retards hydration at low water/cementitious ratio. On the other hand, fly ash retards cement hydration more significantly at high water/cementitious ratio. When silica fume and fly ash added together with cement, the reactivity of the silica fume is hampered and the hydration of the cementitious system is significantly retarded

OBJECTIVES OF THE PRESENT STUDY


Based on the literature review, it was found that sufficient studies were carried out on the properties of concrete containing each of the supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) separately. But enough literature is not available on the properties of concrete containing combination of two or more than two supplementary cementitious materials. Therefore main objective of this research is to explore the possibility of partially replacing ordinary Portland cement with the combination of two or more pozzolanas (supplementary cementitious materials). To understand the behavior of binary, ternary blended and tertiary blended concrete with respect to workability, strength and durability, various experimentations are planned as mentioned below.

MATERIALS AND EXPERIMENTATION


To find out the suitability of any material for a particular use and for

any successful investigation, number of trial tests has to be performed to study the performance of material and trend of results of investigation before arriving at a concrete conclusion. When a new material is to be used/ adopted for a particular application, the properties of that material are to be very essentially known before the actual application. Without knowing the properties of the material, it may not be possible to recommend a particular material for a particular application. From pre-historic times, the human lives and civilization had been conditioned by the ability of man to use/master, the materials. The recent technological developments have opened many avenues for improving not only the mechanical but the durability properties of concrete by using suitable materials and methods.

PREPARATION OF THE CONCRETE SPECIMENS


150x150x150mm size (internal dimensions) cast iron moulds were used

to cast the concrete specimens. After through mixing of all the ingredients of concrete, the concrete was poured in cube moulds. Concrete was compacted by using 16mm diameter steel rod. After filling the mould with concrete in three layers, the moulds were kept on the vibrating plat form. The moulds were vibrated for 2 minutes. The excess concrete was removed by steel scale and the cubes were demoulded after 24 hours and immersed in clean water for curing till testing. For compression,Split tension , acid attack, alkaline attack, sulphate attack, 150x150x150mm cubes were prepared .For split tensile strength test 300mm height 150mm diameter specimens were prepared. For Rapid chloride permeability test, 100mm diameter, 50mm thick specimens were casted.

MIX PROPORTIONS
Mix design is the process of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relative quantities with the purpose of producing an economical concrete which has certain minimum properties notably, workability, strength and durability. The various methods of mix proportioning generally used for the design of Ordinary concrete are all based on the relation between strength and water / cement ratio as well as workability, water / cement and aggregate / cement ratios. In the present work, proportions for high strength & high performance concrete mix designs of various concrete grades were carried out according to IS:10262-2009 & IS:10262-1983 recommendations.

TESTS FOR MECHANICAL PROPERTIES


Mechanical strength is a feature of concrete, which, to date, has been considered as the most important property which plays a fundamental role in structural calculations. Secondly, this property can be determined rapidly using relatively simple methods. In the present investigation, mechanical properties namely compressive strength and split tensile strength of various concrete mixtures at different ages are determined.

COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TEST


The concrete cubes of 150mm size were cast to test various concrete mixtures for compressive strength. The cubes, after demoulding were stored in curing tanks and on removal of cubes from water at 7days, 28days, 90days and180 days the compressive strength test was conducted. The water and grit on the cubes was removed before testing the cubes. The test was carried out as per IS-516:1959.

SPLIT TENSILE STRENGTH TEST


The split tensile strength of all the concrete mixtures in the present study was determined by using the method prescribed by IS:5816-1999. The cylindrical concrete specimens of 150mm diameter and 300mm length were cast after curing them for 7days, 28days, 90days and 180days.

TESTS FOR DURABILITY RELATED PROPERTIES


Durability plays an important role in determining the long-

term performance of concrete structures, especially those exposed to aggressive environment. A durable concrete should maintain its original form, quality and serviceability when exposed to the surrounding environment during its designed service life. Failure of concrete after a period less than the lifetime for which it is designed may be caused by the environment or by a variety of internal causes. Internal causes may lie in the choice of materials or in appropriate combination of materials. Of all the causes of lack of durability in concrete, the most widespread is concrete permeability. Permeable concrete is vulnerable to attack by almost all classes of aggressive agents In the present investigation, an attempt is made to evaluate the acid, alkaline, sulphate resistance of concrete and rapid chloride permeability test on concrete.

ACID ATTACK TEST


The concrete cube specimens (of various concrete mixtures) of size

150mm were casted after 28 days of water curing, the specimens were removed from the curing tank and allowed to dry for one day. The weights of concrete cube specimens were taken. The acid attack test on concrete specimens was conducted by immersing the cubes in the acid water for 60days after 28days of curing. Hydrochloric acid (Hel) with pH of about 2 at 5% weight of water was added to water in which the concrete cubes were stored. The pH was maintained throughout the period of 60days. After 60days of immersion, the concrete cubes were taken out of the acid water and the weights of cubes were recorded after wiping out the acid water on the surface of the cubes. Then, the specimens were tested for compressive strength duly following the procedure prescribed in IS: 516-1959. The resistance of concrete to acid attack was found by the loss of weight of specimens and the loss / variation of the compressive strengths on immersion of concrete cubes in acid water.

ALKALINE ATTACK TEST


To determine the resistance of various concrete mixtures to alkaline

attack, the residual compressive strength of concrete mixtures / concrete cubes of 150x150x150mm size immersed in alkaline waters having 5% of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) by weight of water was found . The concrete cubes of 150mm size which were cured in water for 28days were taken from the curing tanks and allowed to dry for one day. The weights of dry specimens were noted. Then the cubes were immersed in alkaline waters continuously for 60days. The alkalinity of water was maintained same throughout the test period. After 60days of immersion in alkaline water, the cubes were removed and the weights of cubes were taken after wiping out the water and grit from the surface of the specimens. The compressive strengths of cubes which were cured in water for 28days and immersed in alkaline water for 60days was determined as per the procedure prescribed in IS:516-1959.

SULPHATE ATTACK TEST


The resistance of concrete to sulphate attack was

studied by determining the loss of compressive strength or variation m compressive strength of concrete cubes immersed in sulphate water having 5% of sodium sulphate (Na2804) and 5% of 'Magnesium sulphate (Mg804) by weight of water and those which are not immersed in sulphate water. The concrete cubes of 150mm size after 28days of water curing and dried for one day were immersed in 5% Na2S04 and 5%. MgS04 added water for 60days. The concentration of sulphate water was maintained throughout the period. After 60days immersion period, the concrete cubes were removed from the sulphate waters and after wiping out the water and girt from the surface of cubes tested for compressive strength following the procedure prescribed in IS: 516-1959. This type of accelerated test of finding out the loss of compressive strength for assessing sulphate resistance of concrete was proposed by Mehta (1980).

RAPID CHLORIDE PERMEABILITY TEST


The rapid chloride permeability test for different concrete mixtures was

carried out as per ASTM C-1202-97. This test method covers the determination of the electrical conductance of concrete to provide a rapid indication of its resistance to penetration of chloride ions. Standard cylindrical disc specimens of size 100mm diameter and 50mm thick after 60days water curing were used in this test. As per ASTMC 1202-97, specimens with other dimensions, when used for testing, the test result value of the total charge passed through must be adjusted. The apparatus consists of variable D.C. power supply which feeds constant stabilized voltage to the cells. The cells are made up of polymethyl methacrylate. The concrete specimens are kept in between the cells. The cells are connected to main instrument through 3 pin plug and socket for voltage feeding. The charge of current flowing through the specimen is measured by using an accurate digital current meter. The cells have grooved recess on one face and closed at other end. The specimen can be fit into the open faces of the cells. One of the cells is filled with sodium chloride (NaCl) solution 2.4M concentration and the other is filled with 0.3M Sodium hydroxide (NaOH-0.3M) solution.

The cylindrical disc specimen are coated with quick setting

epoxy on their curved faces and mounted in the open spaces of the two cells. After checking the leak proofness, a 60V potential difference is applied between the electrodes. The electrochemical cell in the assembly results in migration of the chloride ions from sodium hydroxide solution through the pores of the concrete specimen. The current passed was noted at every 30 minutes over a period of 6 hours and the total electric charge passed through the specimen is calculated using the expression.
Total charge passed (in coulombs) Qc

= [I0 + 2(I30 + I60 + I90 + I120 + I150 + I180 + I210 + I240 + I270 + I300 + I330) + I360 +]

As per ASTMC -1202 (5), the concrete resistance to chloride permeability is classified as follows.

Charge (coulombs) 4000 2000 4000 1000 - 2000 100 1000 < 100

Chloride permeability High Moderate Low Very Low Negligible

In high performance concrete mix design as water/cement ratio adopted is low, super plasticizers are necessary to maintain required workability. As the percentage of mineral admixtures is increased in the mix, the percentage of super plasticizer should also be increased, for thorough mixing and for obtaining the desired strength. In M50 grade of concrete as the water-cement ratios of 0.397 is insufficient to provide the good workability, hence super plasticizer is necessary for making high strength concrete. In case of individual percentage replacement of mineral admixtures the maximum compressive strength achieved in M50 grade concrete is 61.20 Mpa with replacement of 10 % Metakaoline. In case of combination percentage replacement of mineral admixtures the maximum compressive strength achieved in M50 grade concrete is 59.10 Mpa with replacement of 20% flyash and 10 % Metakaoline.

DISCUSSION
In M60 grade of concrete as the watercement ratios of 0.341 is insufficient to provide the good workability, hence super plasticizer is necessary for making high strength concrete. In case of individual percentage replacement of mineral admixtures the maximum compressive strength achieved in M60 grade concrete is 72.10 Mpa with replacement of 10 % Metakaoline. In case of combination percentage replacement of mineral admixtures the maximum compressive strength achieved in M60 grade concrete is 69.30 Mpa with replacement of 20% flyash and 10 % Silica Fume.

DISCUSSION
In high performance concrete mix design as water/cement ratio adopted is low, super plasticizers are necessary to maintain required workability. As the percentage of mineral admixtures is increased in the mix, the percentage of super plasticizer should also be increased, for thorough mixing and for obtaining the desired strength. In M70 grade of concrete as the water-cement ratios of 0.317 is insufficient to provide the good workability, hence super plasticizer is necessary for making HPC. Present study reveals that in case of combination percentage replacement of mineral admixtures the maximum compressive strength achieved in M70 grade concrete is 79.90 MPa with replacement of 20% Flyash and 10% Metakaoline for 180 days curing

CHAPTER-V EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS ON DURABILITY RELATED PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE


GENERAL The durability of concrete depends on its resistance to deterioration from both internal and external causes. The deterioration of concrete may be caused by the severity of the environment or by the internal changes with the hardened concrete. Permeability is an important property with regard to durability of concrete. The durability of concrete is mainly affected by microcracks, permeability, chemical attack, corrosion and carbonation. To withstand the service environmental effects in the life span of concrete for which it has been disgined, the concrete must be relatively impermeable and hence durable. To predict the service life and durability of concrete the potential durability of concrete is to be evaluated by adopting some testing methods. In the present chapter the test results on durability related properties of concrete are discussed.

ACID RESISTANCE OF CONCRETE GENERAL


Cement based materials may be subjected to acidic environments in a variety of ways. In natural ground waters, sulphuric acid is likely to be present as a result of the reaction of sulphide minerals such as pyrites and marcasite. Sulphuric acid is also found in acid rain and industrial environment. The sewer pipes and waste water treatment plants are likely to suffer acid attack.The CO2, SO2 and other acidic fumes present in atmosphere may cause acid attack on concrete leading to dissolution and drainage of cement from hardened cement paste ultimately resulting in loss / reduction in weight and compressive strength of concrete.The Ca(OH)2 released in OPC hydration reaction reacts with acids such as hydrocholoric acid (HCl) and sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and form soluble and insoluble products which are detrimental to strength and durability of concrete.

CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H2CO3 + Ca(OH)2

CaCO3 + H2O

Effect of Addition of Two Supplementary Cementitious Materials on the Properties of Concrete Subjected To Acidic Attack Objective: In this experimental investigation, the effect of addition of combination of two supplementary cementitious materials constituting the ternary blended concrete when subjected to acidic attack is studied. Ordinary Portland cement is replaced by two supplementary cementitious materials. Fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace slag and Metakaoline are the supplementary cementitious materials used as ternary blends in combinations of (fly ash + silica fume), (fly ash + blast furnace slag) and (fly ash + Metakaoline) in various proportions and binary blends in (Flyash, Silica Fume, Blast furnace Slag, Metakaolin) in various proportions. Specimens were cast to study the compressive strength when subjected to acidic attack for 90 days

ALKALINE RESISTANCE OF CONCRETE


GENERAL

The alkali-silica or alkali-carbonate reactions in concrete cause expansion. Silicious gel formed by reaction between the cement alkalies and silica minerals absorb water and exerts a swelling pressure. The probable factors that affect the reactivity of silica include the nature of cations (OH)- in solid solution, the micropore structure, internal strain and the degree of crystalline disorder. The reaction mechanism of reactive silica with alkalies is generally described as involiving the penetration of hrdroxyl ions into the aggregate to break siloxy linkages between SO4 tetrahedra or to react with terminal acidic silanol groups. The resultant negatively charged silicate fragments are electrically balanced by positive Na+ and K+ ions from the cement paste pore fluid forming a sodium-potassium-silicate gel. The gel imbibes water and swells and generates sufficient hydraulic pressure to induce cracking in the surrounding concrete. (Dent-Glasser et.al. 1981).

SULPHATE RESISTANCE OF CONCRETE GENERAL Among the cement hydration products, alumina-bearing phases and calcium hydroxide are more susceptible to concrete sulphate attack which produce ettringate and gypsum in sulphate environment. The consequence of sulphate attack is excessive expansion of concrete. The low density compounds formed due to sulphate attack occupy more volume of place than available to them causing expansion of concrete. A more subtle consequence of sulphate attack may be building up of localized stress and localized micro cracking within microstructure that may not be observed externally. The incorporation of flyash increases the porosity of cement paste, but the average poresize is reduced. This results in a less permeable paste which is less susceptible to the ingress of harmful solution. Flyash reacts with Ca(OH)2 forming C-S-H. so a susceptible compound with poor cementitious property is replaced by a more resistance and better bonding agent. The mechanism of sulphate attack is in two forms. (i) The internal (ii) the external. The crystalline gypsum as an internal source of sulphate ions react with C3A contained in cement paste to form ettringite crystals. The amount of extra gysum lower the intrinsic strength of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) due to the presence of sulphate ions in the in its structure. In external attack, the diffusion of sulphate ions form the external environmental effect diffuse into matrix and react with Ca(OH)2 to form CaSO4. The gradual removal of Ca (OH)2 and replacement by CaSO4 results in loss of strength.

RAPID CHLORIDE PERMEABILITY OF CONCRETE GENERAL Chloride ingress is a common cause of deterioration of concrete structures. Concrete may be exposed to chlorides by seawater or deicing salts. Chlorides initate corrosion of reinforcement which through expansion disrupt the concrete. The permeability of concrete is governed by many factors such as porosity, type of cementitious material, aggregate grading, water content, air content, curing and consolidation. Conventional concrete made of Portland cement, aggregate and water has been used for more than a century from the investigation of Portland cement early in 19th century (1824). Ordinary Portland cement concretes are not totally resistant to aggressive environmental effects even when water/cement ratio is as low as 0.4 (P.K.Mehta 1991 & R.N. Swamy et.al. 1988). The durability properties of concrete can be improved by the supplementary cementing materials like flyash, silica fume, slag, etc. superfine mineral powders with average particle size less than 10 and Blain surface area greater than 600 800 m2/kg can greatly improve the properties of concrete due to its filling effects and chemical reactivity in concrete. (Andersen 1991 & Senthil Kumar 2003). Barium sulphate is a mineral which can be easily milled and ground. Barytes with particle size ranging from 40 to 1, 30% of the particles being less than 6 in diameter is being used in drilling muds in oil well industry. Barytes is an inert material and the solubility constant is 1.3 X 10-10 and hence it has nothing to do with cement hydration (Noamitu Tsuyuki et.al.2000). rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT), ASTMC-1202 has been used widely to assess the concrete against chloride ion permeability. The test results are fast, simple and hence practical. In terms of Hooton Whatever the property it is measuring, probably it is coincident with permeability of concrete (Hooton 1989).

CONCLUSIONS HPC specimens when examined using SEM showed dense microstructure compared to the microstructure of conventional concrete. This may be due to the bond between the aggregates and hydrates particles. The incorporation of SCMs acts as super filler and induces high pozzolanic reaction, which consumes the CH crystals produced during hydration and converts to CS-H gel. The capillary voids found to be very due to lesser W/B ratio. This may be reason for improvement in the mechanical properties. The SEM study reveals that, incorporation of SCMs enhance the compactness of matrix. The SCMs and super plasticizers influence the mechanical and durability properties of HPC. The SEM microstructure of HPC shows dense microstructure with thin transition zone and less air voids. The microstructures revealed dense cementitious matrices conformed of reaction products. Energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction showed the formation of amorphous Silicoaluminate reaction products. In practice, High strength concretes, and many of the so-called HPSc are characterized by high cement factors and very low water/cement ratio s. With such concretes it is extremely difficult to obtain proper workability and to retain the workability for sufficiently for long period of time, hence high range water reducing agents like Superplasticizer is necessary for making HPCs.
