Outline of Research at the Start

The use of SCMs is one of the most promising approaches to improving the chloride resistance of concrete structures. However, research has been hindered by SCMs’ heterogeneity and variability and their various hydrates in blended-cement systems. This proposed study will aim to advance a research road map for using synthesised glass to examine the effect of a specific element on the chloride resistance of blended-cement paste. This method will allow us to determine the effect of a specific element on chloride binding capacity and on the transport mechanism of blended-cement paste.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research studied the dissolution rate of SCMs through synthetized aluminosilicate glass. The dissolution rate of aluminosilicate glass depends on its chemical composition and quasi-crystalline nanodomains of glass phases. The chloride resistance of blended cement paste depends on the microstructure and the electrostatic interaction between the chloride ions in the pore solution and the chemical bound chloride. A probability model was finally proposed, which considers the coupled effect of loading action, chloride ingression, crack development and corrosion initiation and progression. The analyses results show that SCMs could improve the durability of concrete structures. This probability model provides a powerful tool for civil engineer to design concrete structure under marine environment.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

Utilization of SCMs is one of the most promising to improve durability of concrete structures. This research studies the reactivity of SCMs and chloride resistance of SCMs blended cement paste. A probability model for assessing corrosion failure of concrete structures was developed for engineers.
