CONCRETE DEGRADATION DUE TO THERMAL INCOMPATIBILITY OF ITS COMPONENTS

An experimental program is reported which studied the influence of several variables on thermal incompatibility of concrete constituents (TICC)-related damage to concrete by monitoring: (1) fracture toughness; (2) modulus of rupture; and (3) permeability of concrete. In addition, the coefficient of thermal expansion was determined for one source of aggregate. It was found that the effect of TICC-related damage on a key durability parameter, permeability, has been established both from testing of samples in a laboratory environment as well as in an outdoor exposure site. Other salient features of the study are also noted.
