Project Motivation Reducing the embedded carbon content of the concrete High CO 2 emission associated with concrete production due to high Portland Cement (PC) demand – Ton PC Ton CO 2 emitted – Replace cement with Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) Goal is to develop Low PC (80-90% SCM) SCC that is suitable for composite systems
4
Introduction Hydraulic Reaction Pozzolanic Reaction Some CH (usually PC) needed to efficiently use SCMs fast slow Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C–S- H) Contributes to strength Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C–S- H) Contributes to strength Calcium Hydroxide (CH) does not contribute to strength CH increases durability issues Calcium Hydroxide (CH) does not contribute to strength CH increases durability issues Cement Chemistry Notation: C=CaO, S =SiO 2, H = H 2 O
5
Introduction Reduces the amount of Portland cement – Decreases the CO 2 emissions Use of waste materials that would otherwise be landfilled Improves both durability and the interface with aggregate Reduces porosity in the concrete Increases workability – Fly Ash as SCM Pros Cons Slow strength gain – low early strength Material variability Time of set Hazardous waste?
6
Prior Research Considerable research has been done on SCM concrete The focus has been finding the optimum amount of SCM – To obtain maximum strength – Improve concrete Most studies focus on the use of fly ash, although slag has also been investigated
7
Prior Research Typical SCM percentage levels are between 20-50%, rarely exceed 60%
8
Research Significance Not many researchers have examined SCC with high volume of SCM This research focus on strength behavior, rather than maximizing strength (some of the SCM can serve as filler) Correlation between replacement, strength and SCM's chemical compositions was examined
9
Material and Mix Design 5 cementitious materials used for specified concrete mixes – ASTM I Portland Lafarge Cement – Two fly ash: Boardman fly ash (ASTM Class C) Centralia fly ash (ASTM Class F) – Two slag: Seattle slag (grade 100) St. Mary’s slag (grade 100)

11
Material and Mix Design Research was performed in two phases: – First phase Four different SCMs: two fly ash and two slag Only binary mixes (cement and one SCM) Replacement levels: 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% w/b = 0.35 – Second phase Two different SCMs: fly ash and slag Binary and ternary mixes (cement and two SCMs) Ternary mixes made the three different fly ash to slag ratios Replacement levels: 60%, 80% and 90% w/b = 0.40

13
Overview of Testing Program Phase I (w/b = 0.35) – Compressive strength – Initial time of setting Phase II (w/b = 0.40) – Compressive strength – Elastic modulus – Creep and Shrinkage strains
14
Time of Set (w/b = 0.35) Decrease in time of set at higher replacements Flash set due to low concentration of gypsum

Efficiency Concept Bolomey Strength Equation Modified Bolomey Strength equation Where K B (t) = Bolomey Coefficient a(t) = constant often taken as 0.5 c = Cement content (kg/m 3 ) w = Water content (kg/m 3 ) Where k(t,%) = efficiency factor P = SCM content (kg/m 3 ) Effective w/b = w/(c+kP) Equivalent cement = kP k = 1 SCM is acting as Cement

Conclusions
40
Conclusions – Compressive Strength Early strength (≤ 14 days) typically lower than the base mix Long-term strength is comparable to the base mix Ternary mixes had more reliable strength than the binary mixes Using the proposed efficiency equation gives good first approximation for the SCM’s efficiency
41
Conclusions – Elastic Modulus The elastic modulus of the base mix was independent of time Ternary mixes had on average 40% increase in modulus from 7 to 112 days The ternary mixes had comparable elastic modulus to the base mix at age 56 days The expression from CEB does better job than ACI of approximating the elastic modulus in this research program
42
Conclusions - Creep The creep strains of the sealed cylinders were lower than the unsealed cylinders The creep behavior of the SCM mix loaded after 28 days was similar to the base mix loaded after 7 days The rheological model can predict different creep behavior for different loads – Needs experimental data to calibrate the material coefficients
43
Future Work Test more SCMs at different w/b ratios Test mix with different cement replacement for creep behavior Test mix for creep behavior under higher gravity loads Test high volume SCM concrete mix in a full scale specimen in a composite system
