Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) can mitigate alkali silica reaction (ASR) but the level of cement replacement required is difficult to estimate for a particular SCM. The Chemical Index Model was recently proposed to estimate the relation between mortar expansion and the chemical compositions of cement and fly ash but has not been tested extensively for use with other SCMs. This study uses natural pozzolans and blast furnace slags, in addition to fly ashes, with two portland cements and a reactive aggregate to evaluate the effectiveness of the model to estimate 14-day ASTM C 1567 expansion. The reactivities of different oxides are discussed. Model parameters are calibrated for use with mortars containing slags or natural pozzolans. Improvements are suggested to the optimization strategy in the model. Errors in the estimated minimum cement replacement to limit expansion to 0.1% are significantly lowered when the calibrated model is used with these improvements.

Development of a new short-term concrete prism test method (SCPT) to improve predictability for potential alkali reactivity of aggregates Hafçı, Alkan; Turanlı, Lutfullah.; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) Alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) is a chemical deterioration process which happens in concrete due to the presence of reactive aggregate, sufficient alkalis and moisture. The analysis for the reactivity may be very difficult because AAR has sophisticated and slow progression behaviour. Analysing the aggregates’ structure in detail is primarily necessary before preparation of concrete mixture. Therefore, fast, simple, and reliable tests should be carried out. In the first step of the study, seven pilot new te...
Dynamic response analysis of the machine foundations on a nonhomogeneous soil layer Aşık, Mehmet Zülfü (1999-01-01) Real modulus of elasticity of the soil usually increases with the depth of the soil due to the increase in overburden pressure. Therefore, incorporation of the effect of the soil inhomogeneity in the formulation to obtain the response of the machine foundations is an important and a necessary step. In this paper, equations that govern the dynamic behavior of the machine foundations and consider the inhomogeneity of the elastic foundation, particularly for Gibson type soil are derived by using variational pr...
Utilization of fly ash-portland cement binary systems to control alkali-silica reaction Çelen, Ahmet Ziya; Akgül, Çağla Meral.; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) The highly alkaline pore solution of the portland cement concrete is not an ideal environment for certain reactive aggregates with poorly-crystalline or amorphous silica phases. In this environment, these aggregates partially or completely disintegrate resulting in formation of a hydrophilic, amorphous gel mainly composed of alkalis and water from the pore solution of the hydrated cement matrix and silica from the aggregates. The newly formed alkali-silica reaction (ASR) gel can expand by absorbing huge amo...
Investigation of crack growth along curved interfaces in L-shaped composite and polymers Yavas, D.; Gozluklu, B.; Çöker, Demirkan (2014-01-01) Delamination in unidirectional L-shaped composite laminates is modeled with two L-shaped polycarbonate plates bonded to each other where the effect of pre-crack length on the stability of the crack growth is investigated experimentally and computationally. In the experimental study, a unique testing fixture with a sliding platform is designed to create a pure vertical displacement to one of the arms. The full-field technique of photoelasticity is used in order to visualize isochromatic fringe pattern around...
Construction of phase diagrams to estimate phase transitions at high pressures: A critical point at the solid liquid transition for benzene Ibrahimoglu, Beycan; Üner, Deniz; Veziroglu, Ayfer; Karakaya, Fuat; Ibrahimoglu, Beycan (2021-04-01) Phase diagrams are an integral part of the estimation of material properties in the case of high temperature and pressure. The pressure-temperature (P-T) phase diagram is used to determine the state of aggregation (solid, liquid, gaseous) of a substance under given conditions. This article presents a method to reveal new states in the phase diagram, including the possibility of the plasma state. Using the empirical data of benzene, a critical pressure beyond solid-liquid equilibrium was estimated. It is hig...
