Introduction

• Compressive strength is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand axially directed pushing forces. When the limit of compressive strength is reached, materials are crushed. Concrete can be made to have high compressive strength.

• When a specimen of material is loaded in such a way that it extends it is said to be in tension. On the other hand if the material compresses and shortens it is said to be in compression.

• On an atomic level, the molecules or atoms are forced apart when in tension whereas in compression they are forced together. Since atoms in solids always try to find an equilibrium position, and distance between other atoms, forces arise throughout the entire material which oppose both tension or compression.

• the compressive strength of a material is that value of uniaxial compressive stress reached when the material fails completely

• usually obtained experimentally by means of a compressive test.

• The major difference between the two types of loading is the strain which would have opposite signs for tension (positive—it gets longer) and compression (negative—it gets shorter).

• Another major difference is tension tends to pull small sideways deflections back into alignment, while compression tends to amplify such deflection into buckling.

• CS is calculated from the failure load divided by the cross-sectional area resisting the load (pound-force per square inch (psi) in US) and Customary units or megapascals (MPa) in SI units.

• Concrete CS requirements can vary from

2500 psi (17 MPa) for residential concrete to 4000 psi (28 MPa) and higher in commercial structures.

• Higher strengths up to and exceeding 10,000 psi (70 MPa) are specified for certainapplications.

Spalling Concrete ( concrete cancer)

• Concrete cancer can affect any building in which reinforced concrete is used.

• This includes floor slabs, stairs, balconies, walls, columns, beams and pathways.

• Essentially, the steel responsible for reinforcement has begun to rust.

30

Page 31: TOPIC 1.3 RESPONSE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECT RESPONSE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECT BY: NOR AZAH BINTI AZIZ KOLEJ MATRIKULASI TEKNIKAL KEDAH BY: NOR

Spalling Concrete ( concrete cancer)

• Spalling concrete is concrete which has broken up, flaked, or become pitted.

• This is usually the result of a combination of poor installation and environmental factors which stress the concrete, causing it to become damaged.

• On a low level, concrete spalling can be purely cosmetic in nature. However, it can also result in structural damage such as damage to reinforcing bars positioned inside the concrete.

Spalling Concrete ( concrete cancer)

• Spalling concrete is largely due to a natural deterioration process called carbonation.

• Carbon dioxide in the air diffuses into the concrete and reacts with the alkalis in it.

• The concrete becomes carbonated and this allows the embedded steel bars to corrode.

• These corroded steel bars expand and exert a force on the surrounding concrete causing the concrete to bulge and crack.

Spalling Concrete ( concrete cancer)

• The early stages of spalling concrete will not affect the safety of the building. However, the spalling concrete should be repaired as soon as possible before the steel bars corrode further and damage larger areas hence the term 'concrete cancer'.

Concrete Shrinkage

• Shrinkage of concrete is defined as the contraction due to loss of moisture.

• Due to the shrinkage of concrete, the prestress in the tendon is reduced with time.

Prestressed concrete• concrete with stresses induced in it before use so as to

counteract stresses that will be produced by load; often contains stretched steel bars or wires called tendons

36

Page 37: TOPIC 1.3 RESPONSE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECT RESPONSE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECT BY: NOR AZAH BINTI AZIZ KOLEJ MATRIKULASI TEKNIKAL KEDAH BY: NOR

Concrete Shrinkage

• Due to water loss to atmosphere (volume loss).o Plastic shrinkage occurs while concrete is still “wet” (hot day, flat work, etc.)o Drying shrinkage occurs after concrete has seto Most shrinkage occurs in first few months (~80% within one year).o Reinforcement restrains the development of

shrinkage

Concrete Shrinkage

• As concrete harden there is reduction in volume• It caused a shrinkage

- Absorption of the water by the concrete and the aggregate- Evaporation of the water which rises to concrete surface.

• This contraction can lead to cracks or breaks in the surface of the concrete, or in tiles and other floor finishes installed over the slab.

• To minimize cracks associated with concrete shrinkage, builders place control joints at specific intervals along the concrete.

38

Concrete Shrinkage

• A wet mix makes pouring easier but it also tends to encourage shrinkage.

• The more shrinkage the higher chances of finding cracks later.

Concrete Creep

• Creep of concrete is defined as the increase in deformation with time under constant load.

• Due to the creep of concrete, the prestress in the tendon is reduced with time.

• Basically, long term pressure or stress on concrete can make it change shape.

• This deformation usually occurs in the direction the force is being applied.

41

Page 42: TOPIC 1.3 RESPONSE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECT RESPONSE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECT BY: NOR AZAH BINTI AZIZ KOLEJ MATRIKULASI TEKNIKAL KEDAH BY: NOR

Concrete Creep

• Like a concrete column getting more compressed, or a beam bending.

• Creep does not necessarily cause concrete to fail or break apart.

Creep is factored in when concrete structures are designed.

• creep deformation does not occur suddenly upon the application of stress. Instead, strain accumulates as a result of long-term stress. Creep is a "time-dependent" deformation.
