Study on mechanism of strength distribution development in vacuum-dewatered concrete based on the consolidation theory
Abstract The strength and hardness of a concrete slab surface are considered to be significantly affected by concrete bleeding. Vacuum dewatering is reported to be quite effective in imparting high density and strength. However, in Japan, in contrast with concrete work in civil engineering applications, concrete work in the field of building construction has not been successfully treated by this method. In an earlier report, the authors pointed out the strong relationship between strength distribution and density distribution in vacuum-dewatered concrete, both of which gradually decrease from the top surface to a depth of about 15 cm. The main purpose of the present study is to discuss the mechanism of the occurrence of such distribution of strength and density, based on consolidation theory. In an experiment, pore water pressure distribution in concrete is measured by means of an original measuring system. The results of the experiment confirm that the consolidation theory is quite effective in explaining the internal properties of vacuum-dewatered concrete as well as those of press-dewatered concrete. A prediction method for the strength improvement of concrete by vacuum dewatering is also discussed. It was considered likely that pore water pressure distribution generated by vacuum dewatering could be attributable to the influences of capillary tension and viscous resistance. This mechanism was verified by model experiment.
