Performance-based Durability Specifications of Fly Ash Concrete for Chloride-induced Environment

Existing standard concrete practices under implementation of Standard Specifications for Building Works (SSBW) promptly altered from prescriptive specifications to Performance-based Durability Specifications (PBDS) as advocated by Eurocode 2. This study was carried out to overcome the chloride-induc...

Performance-based Durability Specifications of Fly Ash Concrete for Chloride-induced Environment
description Existing standard concrete practices under implementation of Standard Specifications for Building Works (SSBW) promptly altered from prescriptive specifications to Performance-based Durability Specifications (PBDS) as advocated by Eurocode 2. This study was carried out to overcome the chloride-induced attack problem on reinforced concrete (RC) structures settled under XS3 class exposure by utilising fly ash waste, producing non-destructive test (NDT) models and developing PBDS indicators model. The Taguchi Approach was used in this study with a combination of survey questionnaires, field investigation, experimental works and Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) modelling. The experimental work includes compressive strength (Cu), water absorption (WA), void of permeable voids (VPV) and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) tests.
