The article is focused on spun concrete made with different chemical admixtures under long-term exposure to aggressive salt-saturated ground water and a cyclic temperature gradient. Over a long-term experimental investigation, 64 prismatic spun concrete specimens were subjected to multicycle (75-120) processing under combined aggressive ambient conditions. Prismatic specimens were soaked in water or saline and dried at a temperature of 45-50 °C. The long-term multi-cycle effect of the temperature gradient and physical salt attack on the compressive strength, Young's modulus and durability of concrete was found to be negative. Chemical admixtures, though, improved the structure of spun concrete, thus having a significant positive effect on its physical-mechanical properties and durability.

Development of Concrete Mixture for Spun-Cast Full-Scale Precast Concrete Pipes Incorporating Bundled Steel and Polypropylene Fibers.

School of Engineering, RMIT University, Melbourne, VIC 3001, Australia.
Spin casting is the oldest method of manufacturing precast concrete pipes among all existing methods. While improved concrete mixtures incorporating fibers for other methods of concrete pipe manufacturing, such as the vibration method and roller compaction method, have been developed, no such concrete mixture has yet been developed for spun-cast concrete pipes. This study was designed to explore the possibility of incorporating locally manufactured steel fibers and commercially available polypropylene fibers to develop an improved concrete mixture for use in the manufacturing of full-scale spun-cast concrete pipes.

Spun concrete technology allows manufacturing the reinforced concrete poles, piles, and columns with a circular hollow core. This concreting method ensures higher concrete density and strength than the traditional vibration technique and self-compacting concrete. This technology defines an attractive alternative for producing steel-concrete composite elements, allowing efficient utilisation of the materials due to the confinement effect.

The present paper focused on the investigation of the effectiveness of using various chemical admixtures and their effect on the strength and deformability of the reinforced spun concrete members-the supporting poles of the overhead power transmission lines-under the unfavorable long-term combined action of the aggressive salt-saturated groundwater and the temperature changes. According to the long-term experimental program, 96 prismatic spun concrete specimens were subjected to multi-cycle (25-50-75 cycles) processing under the combined aggressive environmental conditions. It has been found that chemical admixtures which decrease the initial water-cement ratio produce a considerable positive effect on the mechanical properties of spun concrete used in hot and arid climates and exposed to physical salt attack (PSA).

Taking into account the possibilities offered by two imaging methods, X-ray microcomputed tomography (µCT) and two-dimensional optical scanning, this article discusses the possibility of using these methods to assess the internal structure of spun concrete, particularly its composition after hardening. To demonstrate the performance of the approach based on imaging, laboratory techniques based on physical and chemical methods were used as verification. Comparison of obtained results of applied research methods was carried out on samples of spun concrete, characterized by a layered structure of the annular cross-section.
