Unreinforced concrete or reinforced with noncorrosive reinforcement could potentially be mixed seawater in locations where potable water is scarce. A fundamental understanding of the properties therefore essential. This paper analyzes hydration kinetics, hydrate phases, pore solution, and porosity cementitious pastes made compares these results corresponding ones from deionized water. Pastes were prepared cement a 20% mass replacement fly ash. Isothermal calorimetry (to study kinetics),...

Recent research has shown that cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can be used at low dosage levels (approximately 0.2% by volume of cement) to increase the extent hydration and improve flexural strength cement pastes. However, previous work was based on using a CNC made from single source material processing technique performed only Type V cement. This examines influence various raw sources techniques make CNCs. In total, nine different CNCs were investigated with pastes I/II cements. Isothermal...
Concrete and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bar samples from an 18-year old repair project executed on existing dry-dock were obtained by coring the dry dock in two regions. Several destructive non-destructive tests performed both materials. Testing concrete showed substantial variability clear evidence of damage occurring over years. Further, there significant differences different regions dock. The was carbonated chloride seawater had penetrated significantly into its depth. GFRP...
