High strength concrete containing silica fume and metakaolin

High strength concrete containing silica fume and metakaolin / Liew Kam Wah
Kajian terhadap kesan silica fume dan metakaolin pada sifat-sifat campuran konkrit kekuatan tinggi yang mengandungi 0%, 10% dan 15% silica fume serta metakaolin sebagai sebahagian penggantian terhadap simen Portland biasa. Penyelidikan secara eksperimen telah dijalankan untuk menentukan pengaruhan kedua-dua mineral tambahan terhadap kebolehkerjaan, perkembangan kekuatan, kekerasan permukaan, keliangan dan kebolehtelapan konkrit kekuatan tinggi. Ujian-ujian penurunan, faktor pemadatan, ketumpatan plastik, kekuatan mampatan, nombor Rebound, halaju dedenyut ultrasonik, keliangan dan kebolehtelapan telah dijalankan. Spesimen-spesimen telah diawet dalam air pada masa yang terdiri daripada 1, 3, 7, 28 sehingga 56 hari sebelum diuji. Diperhatikan bahawa spesimen yang mengandungi 15% silica fume sebagai penggantian sebahagian simen Portland biasa mempunyai peningkatan tertinggi dalam kekuatan mampatan, halaju dedenyut ultrasonik, nombor Rebound, penurunan keliangan dan kebolehtelapan pada umur konkrit 56 hari. Manakala, spesimen-spesimen yang mengandungi metakaolin mempunyai kekuatan mampatan, halaju dedenyut ultrasonik dan nombor Rebound yang lebih rendah daripada konkrit yang mengandungi silica fume serta keliangan dan kebolehtelapan yang lebih tinggi berbanding dengan konkrit yang mengandungi silica fume. Selain itu, pencampuran mineral tambahan telah menurunkan kebolehkerjaan campuran konkrit. Walau bagaimanapun, secara umumnya, boleh disimpulkan penambahan mineral tambahan dapat meningkatkan kekuatan mampatan, halaju dedenyut ultrasonik, kekerasan permukaan dan ketahanlasakan konkrit kekuatan tinggi. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The effect of silica fume (SF) and metakaolin (MK) on properties of high strength concrete mixes containing 0%, 10% and 15% silica fume and metakaolin as partial replacement of cement has been investigated. Experimental studies have been conducted to determine the influence of both mineral admixtures on the workability, strength development, surface hardness, porosity and permeability of high strength concrete. The slump, compacting factor, plastic density, compressive strength, Rebound number, ultrasonic pulse velocity, porosity and permeability tests were performed. The specimens were cured in water for periods varying from 1, 3, 7, 28 to 56 days before testing. It was observed that the specimens with 15% silica fume had the highest compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, Rebound number, lowest porosity and permeability at the age of 56 days. Whereas, the specimens with metakaolin had the compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, Rebound number lower than the specimens with silica fume but porosity and permeability higher than specimens with silica fume. The inclusion of mineral admixtures reduced the workability of concrete mixes. Nevertheless, it can be concluded that the mineral admixtures generally improved the compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, surface hardness and durability of high strength concrete.
