Capturing atmospheric CO2 into cement-based materials is a way to set off the CO2 emissions of concrete production. This study proposes an experimental method to track the origin of cement paste that fixes CO2 directly from the air under natural conditions. By exposing powders of well-hydrated cement paste to air, carbonated cement paste powders are obtained with different carbonation degrees. The inorganic carbon of these carbonated samples is extracted by dissolution in phosphoric acid, and the isotopic characteristics related to 13C and 14C are measured. The experimental results show that the 14C value of carbonated cement paste can be used as an indicator for tracing the origin of carbon.

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant lost its core cooling function due to the massive tsunami generated by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, which caused core meltdown, resulting in high temperature inside the containment vessel and exposing the RPV pedestal, a reinforced concrete structure, to an unusually high temperature environment. After the earthquake, water was poured into the containment vessel to cool the molten core, and the con-crete structure was gradually cooled in the process. Since it will take at least 40 years to remove the fuel from the core, the integrity of the RPV pedestal is a major concern for the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. In order to assess the long-term integrity of the RPV pedestal, a horizontal loading test was conducted using a 1/6 scaled model of the RPV pedestal of Unit 1 considering the effect of the high temperature heating and subsequent wet conditions. And then, the static stress analysis of the RPV pedestal was performed considering the degradation phenomena revealed by the experiments. As a result, it was confirmed that the RPV pedestal of Unit 1 would be structurally sound for 40 years against the current design basis earthquake even if the material degradation due to severe accident and aging was considered.

In nuclear power plants, concretes used for biological shielding walls are exposed to radiation such as neutrons and gamma rays over the long-term operation of the plant. Previous studies have reported that neutron irradiation causes aggregate expansion due to the metamictization of quartz and feldspar leading to reduced density and a loss of the compressive strength and Young' s modulus of the concrete. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the current state of a concrete biological shield (CBS) and predict its future soundness. In this study, a rigid-body spring model, which can easily evaluate fracture behavior by using springs between each element, is used to conduct numerical analyses on a CBS. A three-phase (mortar, aggregate, and interfacial transition zone) model of a 2000 mm thick CBS is used to investigate the varying deformation responses depending on the presence or absence of reinforcing bars (rebar), creep, and an inner steel plate with five types of analyses, i.e. analysis to understand the impacts of temperature distribution, re-inforcement bars, an internal steel plate, and creep of mortar. The results show that cracking and delamination occur inside the CBS, resulting in a lack of cracking on the outside. They also show that the cracks are reduced by rebar and creep, resulting in cracks extending from the innermost edge to a depth of approximately 150 mm.

To evaluate the radiation-induced degradation of concrete, a rigid-body spring network model is introduced that takes into account the three phases in concrete: mortar, aggregate, and the interfacial transition zone. The proposed model enables evaluation of the change in the physical properties of concrete affected by aggregate expansion under the free restraint condition. Good agreement with previous experimental data is found for the linear expansion of the concrete specimen and the compressive strength, Young’s modulus, and splitting tensile strength. Based on the numerical results, it is concluded that, to reproduce the physical property changes in concrete, the expansion of mortar due to the radiation-induced expansion of fine aggregate and/or creep behavior must be considered. In addition, it is clarified that an isolated expansion of mortar with a lack of expansion in the coarse aggregate also degrades the concrete and, consequently, analysis of the type of aggregate used is critical for predicting the properties of concrete under neutron irradiation. Furthermore, the impact of inhomogeneous expansion of rock-forming minerals in coarse aggregates on physical property changes is studied, showing that such a partial expansion in the aggregates and the resultant cracks in aggregates greatly influences the reduction of the Young’s modulus, with minimal impact on the reduction of compressive strength. The proposed model can be used to evaluate concrete degradation due to radiation-induced volumetric expansion of aggregate caused by the metamictization of rock-forming minerals.

The influence of temperature on the hydration of cementitious materials has been traditionally modelled using the maturity concept and Arrhenius law. This approach yields a single material property, called apparent activation energy (Ea), that describes the whole temperature dependence. Determining Ea experimentally has sparked controversy, such as whether the different properties (e.g., compressive strength, tensile strength, E-modulus) exhibit different Ea, whether a single Ea value exists for the entire hydration process, or whether cement paste and concrete possess the same Ea. Furthermore, studies measuring Ea from elastic modulus measurements are truly scarce, likely due to experimental challenges with measuring this property at early-ages. This work investigated the influence of temperature on the elastic modulus evolution of cement paste and concrete. A single mix for each material was tested with the EMM-ARM (Elasticity Modulus Measurement through Ambient Response Method) methodology under three different isothermal conditions. The resulting elastic modulus evolution curves were used to derive Ea evolution curves from two traditional computation methods: the ‘speed’ method and the ‘derivative of speed’ method. Results showed that the elastic modulus evolution of both materials initially presented a constant Ea, independent of temperature and hydration development as preconized by the classical Arrhenius law. However, as hydration progressed to later stages, the activation energy exhibited evident dependencies on both temperature and hydration levels. Cement paste and concrete consistently exhibited different Ea values throughout hydration, with concrete having higher values. The use of the Ea curves to superimpose the different experimental elastic modulus evolution curves by means of the equivalent age concept led to near-perfect superpositions, strengthening the validity of this concept when applied to elastic modulus evolution.

This study investigates the wet carbonation of concrete fines with CO2 and natural air gas bubbling in a carbonation system at low temperatures. After the air- and CO2-wet carbonations, the properties of a solution and hydrated cement paste powder are determined. In the air and CO2-wet carbonations, more Ca is extracted into the solution at a low temperature of 5°C. This high Ca concentration in the solution through air-wet carbonation primarily originates from the portlandite and unhydrated phases of the cement paste. Even in solutions with high pH values, the rehydration process and C–S–H decomposition occur simultaneously in air-wet carbonation. Moreover, CO2-wet carbonation indicates that the decalcification of C–S–H occurs rapidly, even in the presence of portlandite. Air-wet carbonation presents a potential method for the direct air capture of CO2 using concrete waste fines in a short period.

This paper presents a catalogue of possible radiation-induced damage of rock aggregates, which was compiled using the relevant literature and confirmed numerically. The catalogue describes two common and six specific cases of rock aggregate damage. Additionally, the catalogue is supported by a validated numerical model, which is based on Rigid-Body Spring Model. The detailed numerical analysis and the result description of all the cases shown in the catalogue are presented in this paper. The main dependencies are also discussed and the related conclusions are drawn, of which the most important are that the damage of the rock can be delayed and increased rapidly after the delay; even a small amount (1%) of a highly expansive mineral leads to a significant reduction of mechanical properties of the rock; and a partial recovery of the elastic modulus of the rocks is possible even for significantly damaged rocks. It is believed that this paper will help to predict the radiation-induced degradation of rock aggregates as well as support the future development of related analytical models.

The pore structure of concrete is highly complex and random. Fractal theory is used to describe the characteristics of its pore structure. Ds (surface fractal dimension) is commonly used to characterize the surface roughness of the pores. However, the existing Ds model is limited to two dimensions and there are unreasonable assumptions about the shape of the pores and the method of measuring pores is not applicable. Therefore, this paper proposes a three-dimensional (3-D) model for calculating the Ds. The new parameter Dss represents the chaotic degree of element morphology in the 3-D pore system. When Dss=0, the pore morphology tends to be the same. The larger Dss value is, the more divergent and diversified pore morphology is. The specimens in two states of standard curing and high temperature drying were prepared and the pore structure parameters of the specimens were calculated by combining CT scanning, Deep Learning and 3-D reconstruction. By comparing Dss and Dv (volume fractal dimension) and other parameters, it is found the 3-D pore system of concrete is more chaotic and becomes more complex under the effect of high temperature drying. It also confirms the reliability of the 3-D fractal dimension model proposed in this paper.

Large quantities of aqueous secondary waste are generated from the processing of contaminated water after the nu-clear accident in Japan. Cementation of these wastes is challenging because their significant radioactivity may cause the radiolysis of water contents in cement, posing a risk of hydrogen gas generation. The application of calcium aluminate cement modified with phosphates (CAP), as an alternative cementing system, is interesting because this system is based on acid-base reaction, and its water content can be reduced by mild heating once the system is mixed. The present study focused in the use of Secar 71, a calcium aluminate cement with a high alumina and low silica compositions, and its effects of on the production of CAP system at elevated temperatures. The modification of Secar 71 with phosphates was successful, and the reduction of water content by about 35% was achieved in the CAP system containing SrCl2 after curing the system at 80°C for 7 days. The micro cracks, typically observed in the CAP system cured at lower temperature, was significantly reduced by curing at 80°C. The obtained results show a potential of Secar 71 to prepare CAP for cementation of aqueous secondary wastes.

This study presents a kinematic model for flexural analysis of RC beams and columns subjected to freeze-thaw action based on upper bound theorem. The developed model enables analytical derivation of the contribution of damaged concrete when actual deterioration profile is idealized as an assemblage of undamaged and damaged zones based on freeze-thaw depth obtained from concrete core specimens. The accuracy of the analysis is verified by comparing its predictions with available 21 RC columns and beams failing in flexure after freeze-thaw exposure. The predicted results show good agreement with the test results within error of 6% on average. Thereafter, the developed analysis predicts the ultimate moment capacity of a RC beam, which was taken from an existing bridge slab replaced because of the combined effect of frost damage and fatigue. Results demonstrate that the present analysis could support a rational decision-making regarding the need for repair or rehabilitation. This paper is the English translation from the authors’ previous work [Kanazawa, T., Nakamura, T., Sakaguchi, J. and Kawaguchi, K., (2021). “Flexural analysis combined with freeze–thaw depth for RC linear members.” Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser.

A new approach in the classification of the resulting failure mode, whether shear, bond splitting or flexure, for reinforced concrete columns is presented. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of the strain distribution in the main reinforcement based on the truss and arch model theory. Failure mode prediction from the proposed alternative method is compared with results from several series of column experiments. The proposed method is shown to provide a high level of precision in classifying failure modes with the proper consideration of the presence of inner rows of main bars and the effect of axial loading.

Countermeasures against carbon dioxide emissions are a concern in the construction field as well as in society. To solve this problem, a concept for new calcium carbonate concrete is proposed, and this concept is validated experimentally. In the proposed concept, calcium carbonate comprising Ca originating from demolished concrete or other Ca-containing industrial wastes and HCO3- from CO2 gas collected from the air or emitted by industrial plants acts as a binder for aggregates, which can be natural rocks or crushed demolished concrete. This short paper describes the details of the process of making calcium carbonate concrete and discusses future perspectives.
