| Popis: | This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the hardened density of freshly compressed concrete and its effect on the mechanical properties including compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. The concrete specimens were compressed in a fabricated pressure apparatus under different values of pressure and reference concrete strength. Two types of pressure, long-term pressure and short-term pressure were also applied to the fresh concrete to evaluate the effect of pressure duration on the concrete density. The results indicated that the increase in the compressed concrete density increases with the increase in primary pressure and decrease in reference concrete strength. Moreover, the pressure duration poorly affects the concrete density. By considering the density, this study also provides a model for predicting the modulus of elasticity of the compressed and the uncompressed concretes, which covers the wide range of the compressive strength between 18 and 81 MPa. Finally, a ... |
