2 1 High Concrete Influences on Concrete Performance The main factor influencing concrete compressive strength is the water-cement ratio of concrete. The less water in a mix, the stronger and less porous the concrete. The permeability of concrete is even more sensitive to water-cement ratio changes than is the compressive strength. It is important to note that there is a practical limit to which batching water can be restricted in concrete mix design to achieve a desired water-cement ratio. Depending on aggregate type, the minimum batching water is in the range -17 litres per cubic metre, equivalent to a slump of 4mm. To achieve a lower water-cement ratio in a concrete mix with minimum batching water, cement contents need to be increased and/or superplasticizer admixtures used. Concrete gains strength with time. Provided there is a supply of moisture to allow cement hydration this strength increase can continue for years. Concretes with different cement types gain compressive strength at different rates. Temperature is a key determinant of strength gain. Hydration is a chemical reaction and is controlled by temperature. Below 12ºC cement will be very slow to react, although concrete cured at about 8ºC will ultimately gain more strength than that cured at higher temperatures. Above 4ºC concrete will gain strength very rapidly but ultimate strengths will be compromised. Slag-based cements do not exhibit this characteristic. Figure 1 shows that concrete for three regional centres with the same cement content have different compressive strengths (and different water-cement ratios) due to differing water demand for the various local aggregates. The early strength of concrete containing rounded aggregates (as in Christchurch) is limited by the bond between cement paste and the coarse aggregate.

3 2 ECS High Concrete ECS High Concretes These concretes are tailored to achieve high early strength and also high ultimate strength. ECS High Early 1 A concrete with superior early strength development for precast and onsite concrete construction. ECS High Early 2 A concrete for precast producers with excellent early strength development and finish characteristics. Portland cement (Type GP) with superplasticizer/accelerator admixture. -% pricing premium for approximately % strength improvement over conventional concrete at 24 hours with accelerated set time. High Early (Type HE) Cement. % pricing premium for approximately % strength improvement over conventional concrete at 24 hours. Excellent set time, good off-form finish and % improvement in ultimate strength. ECS High Early 1 is a concrete that exhibits excellent high early strength performance. Early strength development is increased approximately % when heat is applied, and approximately % under normal conditions (Figure 2). For a cost premium of -% ECS High Early 1 enables the fast turnaround of pre-cast moulds or the early lifting of tilt panels. This concrete also has excellent early set times. ECS High Early 1 develops superior (approximately % increase) ultimate strength than conventional concrete due to its lower water-cement ratio. ECS High Early 2 is an economical concrete that exhibits good high early strength development performance. The improvement in early strength gain is approximately 3% when heat is applied, and approximately % under normal conditions. For a cost premium of approximately % ECS High Early 2 enables the fast turnaround of precast moulds. Furthermore, it has a faster set. ECS High Concrete A concrete which achieves high strength at early and final age. Ordinary Portland Cement (Type GP) with High Reactivity Pozzolan Will achieve concrete strengths in the range to MPa at 28 days. ECS High Concrete is designed to achieve compressive strengths in the range to MPa. This level of performance is achieved through the utilisation of high reactivity pozzolan such as Microsilica 6 or Metamax. A compressive strength of 7 MPa is often a maximum strength limit set by design considerations for seismic performance. High reactivity pozzolan in combination with high cement contents create denser concrete due to superior packing and the inclusion of additional binder material. High Concrete has superior performance over conventional concretes. High Concrete has a range of durability attributes; wear and abrasion, low chloride diffusion, high resistivity, reduced permeability and high chemical resistance.

4 3 Enhancing Concrete Performance under Demanding Service Conditions The compressive strength of concrete is commonly cited as the single most important indicator of concrete durability. Concrete compressive strength and the associated concrete water-cement ratio are linked to concrete s ability to carry load, to withstand abrasion and wear, to prevent the ingress of damaging fluids, and to resist chloride, sulphate and other chemical attack. Apart from compressive strength, other concrete attributes such as cement type and permeability are also important considerations regarding durability. Slag cement-based concretes can outperform conventional higher strength concretes under certain environmental conditions i.e. exposure to chlorides or sulphates. Higher strength concrete enables the design of lighter more slender structures. The cost per MPa of compressive strength is more economical for high strength concrete. With recent advances in composite materials, chemical admixtures and alternative mineral components high strength concrete can now be readily produced from most concrete batching plants. Furthermore, "high early strength concrete" is available which allows fast turnaround of precast moulds and/or savings in construction times. Curing The long-term performance of all ECS concretes can only be achieved in association with good concrete practice and controlled curing. Curing will assist in ultimate compressive strength, reduce surface dusting and enhance resistance to abrasion. Curing allows more water to be made available for the hydration reaction of the concrete s cement paste which leads to better strength development. Technical advice on the handling and curing requirements of ECS concretes should be sought before starting construction. (See brochure SC4 Curing)
