Abstract

The abrasion erosion characteristics of concrete made from moderate heat Portland cement, fly ash, and silica fume were investigated via sandblasting test. In this study, the influences of fly ash, silica fume, impinging velocity and impinging angle on abrasion erosion resistance were taken into account. The test results indicated that the concrete fabricated with moderate heat Portland cement, fly ash and silica fume was applicable to the mass construction in need of either low hydration heat or high abrasion erosion resistance. The abrasion mass loss rate of concrete increased with the increasing of the impinging angle, and showed an exponential relation with the impinging velocity. Furthermore, the proposed method by Bitter and Neilson et al. was applied to analyze the abrasion erosion characteristics of concrete. The characteristics of each concrete mixture could be featured by four parameters (ε,φ,K, and n) according to this method, and they could be used for preliminarily predicting the abrasion erosion resistance of concrete.
