Experimental design, materials and methods

Experimental design

Two experiments have been designed to obtain the long-term compressive strength of MSC [1], [2], [3]. The design details of experiments [1] are presented in Table 1. All samples of compressive strength were designed as cubes in dimension of 150 mm. One group includes three test samples. Samples of experiment [1] were stored at 20±2 °C water for curing, where samples of experiment [2], [3] were left in standard curing box with a temperature of 20±2 °C and humidity of 95–99%.

Materials

Raw materials of experiment [1] were grade P.O. 42.5 ordinary Portland cement, crushed stone mixed in proportion 2:5:2:1 by the series of 5–10 mm, 10–19 mm, 19–26.5 mm and 26.5–31.5 mm, and manufactured sand with different contents of stone powder, as well as tap water and high-performance water reducer. Raw materials of experiment [2], [3] were grade P.O. 42.5 and P.O.32.5 ordinary Portland cement, crushed stone mixed in proportion 1:1 by the series of 5–10 mm and 10–25 mm, and manufactured sand with different contents of stone powder, as well as tap water and high-performance water reducer.

Manufactured sand and crushed stone used in experiments were both crushed from limestone in area of Jiaozuo city, China. Cements were produced by China Tianrui Group Cement Company Limited, Kaifeng.

Method

Particle size distribution of cement and stone powder was examined by the LS13320 laser diffraction particle size analyzer. Compressive strength of concrete samples was tested on an electro-hydraulic servo universal test machine with maximum load as 2000 kN in accordance with China Standard GB/T 50081-2002 [4] and British Standard BS EN 12390-3-2009 [5].
