Study Notes

Cement and Concrete Development

  • Early cement production involved mixing clay and limestone, burning them, and grinding the clinker for fine powder.
  • Initial use of cement was primarily in stuccos, with adoption in the building industry occurring slowly.
  • Portland cement was introduced in the United States in 1868, with local manufacturing beginning in the 1870s.

Pioneers of Concrete

  • Key figures in early concrete development include François Le Brun, Joseph Lambot, and Joseph Monier.
  • Le Brun constructed a concrete house, school, and church in 1832.
  • Lambot created a concrete boat around 1850, introducing wire reinforcement.
  • Monier patented reinforced concrete in 1867, focusing on combining lightness with strength.
  • From 1867 to 1881, Monier patented various reinforced concrete applications, including railroad ties and arches.

Innovations and Applications

  • François Coignet contributed by building reinforced concrete structures and publishing design methods in 1861.
  • Use of cold-twisted bars improved bonding in concrete due to enhanced surface interaction.
  • The Leland Stanford Jr. Museum in San Francisco was one of the first reinforced concrete buildings, built in 1890, demonstrating resilience during the 1906 earthquake.

Silica Fume in Concrete

  • Silica fume is a by-product from electric arc furnaces, available in powder and liquid forms, enhancing concrete properties.
  • When added to concrete, silica fume improves density and strength, but reduces workability, necessitating superplasticizers.
  • Silica fume particles are extremely fine and reactive with calcium hydroxide, leading to cementitious compounds.

Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

  • Alkali-resistant glass fibers enhance bonding with cement paste; fibers vary in length and diameter for optimal performance.
  • Fibers improve concrete toughness by resisting crack propagation through the energy absorbed during breakage.
  • Aspect ratio of fibers (length to diameter) and their texture significantly affect performance.
  • Fiber-reinforced concrete has been used for highway pavements and airport runways, despite increased costs, due to potential long-term savings.

Steel Reinforcing Bars

  • U.S. reinforcing bars primarily conform to A615 specifications; they are often made from melted reclaimed steel.
  • A small number of manufacturers produce rail steel bars, with a focus on A615 for general use and A706 for welding and bending applications.
  • The most common yield strengths used in reinforced concrete are 60 ksi, with an upper design limit of 80 ksi established by ACI guidelines.
