| 摘要： | Transportation-related agencies are experimenting with increased control of aggregate gradation in their concrete pavement specifications. There is anecdotal evidence that shows that total aggregate gradation can be optimized to yield improved concrete performance during construction and service life. Strong scientific data are less numerous in supporting this idea because of the variability in aggregates that can occur and practical considerations in avoiding waste particle sizes. The influence of total aggregate gradation on the freeze-thaw durability of concrete test specimens that employed a variety of sedimentary and igneous aggregates common in Wisconsin is examined. Optimized gradations consisted of increased amounts of aggregate particles in the No. 4 to No. 16 sieve size range and decreased amounts of fines in the No. 50 to No. 200 sieve size range. A near-gap gradation was fabricated by removing some particles in the No. 4 to No. 16 sieve size range and increasing the amount of the fine material in the No. 30 to No. 100 sieve size range. Several methodologies and practical considerations were considered in establishing the aggregate gradations. A control gradation utilized a 60-40 blend of coarse/fine aggregate with gradations determined by the naturally occurring particle sizes. The concrete specimens prepared in this study were subject to strength, shrinkage, permeability, and accelerated freeze-thaw testing. All concretes had well-controlled water-cement ratios and showed excellent freeze-thaw durability. The optimized gradation mixes did not show consistently improved performance compared with the control mixes. The near-gap mixes showed reduced strength, reduced freeze-thaw durability, and increased shrinkage. |
