Abstract
The influence of aggregate type on the compressive strength, the resistance to chloride penetration and the scaling resistance with de-icing salts of concrete made with blended cements with calcerous fly ash was investigated. The range of investigation included the air entrained concrete with water to cement ratio w/c = 0.45 with the prototype blended cements containing the additives of calcerous fly ash, siliceous fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag. Concrete specimens were cured during first 3 days in water and then in the air of 40% RH until 28 and 90 days. Frost-salt scaling tests were performed using 3% NaCl solution. The air void microstructure was quantitatively evaluated. The results revealed the influence of blended cement type on the properties of concrete with different type of aggregates.
