Research on Corrosion Damage and Bearing Characteristics of Bridge Pile Foundation Concrete under a Dry-Wet-Freeze-Thaw Cycle by Zhongju Feng, Jianwei Huo, Haibo Hu, Ruixin Zhao, Fuchun Wang, Guan Jiang, Xianhua Yao, Tie Li, Zhenyu Song

“…After one year of outdoor dry-wet-freeze-thaw cycle test, due to the interaction of compound salts, the quality of specimens is reduced under the denudation of chloride ions, while the mass of specimens is increased by the corrosion products formed under the joint action of carbonate and sulfate, resulting in less obvious change of specimen quality, the antierosion coefficient of the specimens decreased, the maximum loss rate of compressive strength was 38.2%, and the pile foundation began to deteriorate. …”

Influences of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) on the compressive strength and crack-healing ability of self-compacting concrete containing high-volume ground bottom ash by Siwakorn Chitthawornmanee, Harsimranpreet Kaur, Trinh Nhat Ho Tran, Pattharaphon Chindasiriphan, Pitcha Jongvivatsakul, Weerachart Tangchirapat

“…In SCC mixes incorporating SAP saturated with Ca(OH)2, a 98 % reduction in water flow rate was achieved, in addition to a slight increase in compressive strength, due to the additional formation of calcium-silicate-hydrate (CSH) gels and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation. Furthermore, the inclusion of SAP or SAP saturated with Ca(OH)2 significantly reduced chloride penetration in SCC. …”
