Concrete Pumping Effects on Entrained Air-Voids. Appendices
Pumping is a frequently used method of efficiently transporting concrete from the delivery vehicles to the formwork. Unfortunately, pumping concrete can affect the air content of a concrete mix. This has caused concern about the possible loss of resistance of the concrete to freezing and thawing. The actual effect of pumping on the air content measured for the concrete is not consistent; in some cases air content has increased, while in others it has decreased. Previous work has shown that pumping causes pressue in the concrete, and this pressure can alter the air-void system. The purpose of this work was to verify previously identified changes in the air-void system, and to examine the effect of pressure on concrete mixes containing various admixture combinations.
