摘要
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a class of concrete materials that has received significant attention from the infrastructure community due to its favorable mechanical and durability performance. As the use of UHPC in infrastructure projects is becoming more common, there is an increasing interest in identifying appropriate testing techniques to assess the durability properties of UHPC-class materials. The dense microstructure of UHPC-class materials and the presence of a high concentration of fiber reinforcement have made it difficult to rely on existing standard testing approaches for concrete durability assessment. This study explores the application of various conventional-concrete durability test methods to UHPC, including electrical resistivity (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) TP 119-22), freeze–thaw (ASTM C666), water absorption (ASTM C1585), and rapid chloride migration test (NT BUILD 492). The selected tests are meant to qualify and quantify the microstructural penetrability of UHPC to ions and fluids, a surrogate property commonly used as an indicator of durability. The findings from this study indicate that electrical resistivity can be used as a durability indicator for UHPC-class materials. Moreover, strong correlation between electrical resistivity and the chloride migration coefficient is identified, a potential benefit given that chloride migration can be used to estimate service lives of UHPC-class materials. Other tests, including freeze–thaw and water absorption, although identifying the favorable performance of UHPC relative to conventional concrete, were unable to provide insightful information through which the performance of individual UHPCs could be differentiated.
