1 EVALUATION OF THERMAL STRESS BEHAVIOR AND DEF RISK OF CONCRETE USING FLY ASH CEMENT Yuji Mitani, Takuya Ohno, Katsuhiko Tada Taiheiyo Cement Co., Research & Development Center JCI-RILEM International Workshop, CONCRACK5, April 24-26, 2017, Japan 1

2 Background & Objective Fly ash (FA) cement concrete Feature: improving workability, increasing long-term strength, reducing load to the environment, suppressing alkali silica reaction etc. Problem: difficult air content control, poor early strength However In the warm regions (ex. Southeast Asia) No need for precise air content control (absence of freeze thaw action) Enhanced early strength development (increased pozzolanic reaction) Evaluate applicability of FA concrete to mass concrete structures in Southeast Asia experimentally. Compare with cement containing high GGBS content 1. Mechanical property(strength, heat, shrinkage ) 2. Thermal cracking risk(thermal stress behavior) 3. Delayed Ettringite Formation(DEF) risk JCI-RILEM International Workshop, CONCRACK5, April 24-26, 2017, Japan 2

18 Conclusions Concrete containing fly ash 30% were experimentally investigated in the 27 assuming use in warm regions(ex. Southeast Asia) to evaluate applicability of fly ash concrete to mass concrete structures and compare with cement containing high GGBS content 1. As Compared at the same water to binder ratio, compressive strength of was lower than that of concrete with a high GGBS content. 2. Autogenous shrinkage in was significantly smaller than that in the high GGBS content concrete. 3. Tensile thermal stress occurring in subjected to a temperature history was significantly smaller than that in the high GGBS content concrete, suggesting an efficacy in controlling thermal cracking. 4. DEF risk evaluation by an accelerated test suggested that DEF risk would be low with which exhibited no abnormal expansion strain like the high GGBS content concrete.
