1 Durability, Concrete, Environment and Sustainability in the Eurocodes Steinar Leivestad Standard Norge

2 Norwegian clients asks for environmentalfriendly concrete in 70 80% of all new contracts voluntarily Zero-emission building in Trondheim 2

3 Norwegian Concrete - the past and - the future We have great expectations to the general applicability of the Eurocodes

4 Development of the concrete-material Prime drivers; Sutainability Environmental- and CO 2 - footprint New cements and new binder combinations Utilize gain in strength from 28- to 91-days Re-use of aggregates Other??? Consequences with respect to Durability Strength and strength development Mechanical properties in design There are two perspectives To save the world (+ 2 0 C) To save the concrete (by maintaining its competitive position) Reduced concrete volume for same function Less CO 2 per m 3 used Account made up after end of life-cycle 4

5 Development on the material side will normally lead to changes in performance, the requirements must be able to accommodate this in an effective way With todays «Deemed to Satisfy» (DtS) will new materials have to be documented to show «equivalence» based on a material (CEM I) that is expected not to remain available in the future, and which show large variations in performance even within the same class With performance based design we have a discipline that is not yet mattured enough for daily use, where the selection of parameters gives much room for «optimistic» and «pessimistic» choices with large variations in results. The parameters should therefore be made on a neutral basis as part of the standardization. By use of «Exposure Resistance Classes» (ERC) we can have a performance based definition of classes, and the standards can give a calibrated set of requirements to; Exposure Class / Exposure Resistance Class / cover to reinforcement dependant of Design Working Life. 5

21 The durability concept is easy to apply for all parties involved; Exposure classes Exposure resistance classes Design working life Minimum concrete cover The designer will in the execution specification specify; Strength class, Exposure resistance class, chloride class, D upper /D lower and nominal cover as well as the Execution Class e.g C30/37 RXC30 Cl 0,20 D upper 32 D lower 16 c nom 30 mm (20+10) EXC3 The contractor will in the concrete specification specify; Strength class, Exposure resistance class, chloride class, consistence class, segregation resistance class etc. e.g C30/37 RXC30 Cl 0,20 D upper 32 D lower 16 S4 SR1 etc. The concrete producer produce and deliver a conforming concrete C30/37 RXC30 Cl 0,20 D upper 32 D lower 16 S4 SR1 21

22 91-days strength New cements and new bindercombinattions that reduces CO2- footprint Seems to give a slower strength development, a major part of the final strength comes after 28- days. 22

23 Present draft EC Strength (1) The compressive strength of concrete shall be denoted by concrete strength classes which relate to the characteristic (5%) cylinder strength f ck of the concrete in accordance with EN 206, determined at an age t ref. (2) The value for t ref should be taken as: (i) 28 days in general (ii) or may be taken between 28 and 91 days when specified for a project. Should be default, to become used and have effect on CO 2 23

24 EN 206 deals with re-cycled aggregates, but not from a design perspective, designers concern is within what limits of - Aggregate type (EN 12620) - Aggregate quantity (% replacement coarse and fine) - Intended concrete strength (upper limit) are design parameters used in EC2 unaffected? Within this range use of RA should be open for the Ready-mix producer Annex N (normative): Recycled aggregates concrete structures (1) Concrete with recycled aggregates may be used where the use of recycled aggregates will not impair durability, service performance like appearance or wear, or represent a risk of polluting water or air. Recycled aggregates may be used in normal concrete production without any particular consent if done in accordance with the provisions of EN 206. Note: The National Annex or the project specification can give further provisions and restrictions for the use of recycled aggregates for concrete. (7) For concrete of strength Class C30 and lower, recycled aggregates may be used in New clause and table regarding recycled aggregates. accordance with the parameters in Table 3.2. For higher strength classes or for higher Systematic review DK07 replacement values of the coarse fraction, including (2) replacement If the properties up to 10% listed of the in fines 5.1.2(3) for concrete with recycled aggregates are relevant for fraction, the design provisions of this standard may the be design applied in provided accordance it is demonstrated with this standard, by they should be determined by testing in tests that all values derived as a function of fck are accordance in accordance with with the the tests values specified given in Table in EN 206. The exposure resistance class should be 3.1. The procedure for testing and approval shall determined be given in the based execution on durability specification. performance testing. Table 3.2: Maximum fraction of recycled coarse aggregates (4/32) in strength class C30 and lower, for exposure resistance classes documented (3) All other by deemed clauses to of satisfy this standard values in are generally applicable, unless they are substituted by EN special provisions given in Table N.1. Recycled aggregates (4/32) Type according to EN RX0 RC40 RC30 RC20 RSD Type A 30% 30% 30% 20% 0 Type B 30% 30% 20% 0% 1 Where the resistance class is documented by tests with the actual recycled aggregates the maximum value may be taken as 30%. 24

25 The report express concern for creep, shrinkage and E- modulus, but also for normal density concrete there is a variation of +/- 30% There is also concern for shear, since failure mode can differ, but capacities are not lower than the reference. 25
