ABSTRACT: Materials used for marine environment have been changed, in which concrete
is the most suitable material. However, it is necessary to improve the conventional concrete
in order to adapt to the severe environmental requirements. This study has succeeded in
producing the high performance concrete used for the marine environment incorporating
sulfate resistance cement and other suitable materials.
The objective of this study is to:
1. Investigate the history background of HPC used for marine gravity concrete works
2. Determine the properties of available materials using for HPC used for marine gravity
concrete works
3. Study some mix design methods to produce HPC used for marine gravity concrete works
and determine properties of the concrete.
KEYWORDS: high performance concrete, marine gravity concrete, mix design, silica
fume, strength

From experience of preliminary researches about using sulfate resistance cement for
grade 100 concrete, the mixture was designed in order to compare to normal concrete and
high strength concrete in some properties, such as workability, compressive strength,
permeability, steel adhesion, elastic modulus, etc. Some mixture proportions are performed as
following:
M2-1: Grade 100 concrete mixture using sulfate resistance cement with silica fume M2-2:
Grade 100 concrete mixture using sulfate resistance cement without silica fume M2-3:
Grade 100 concrete mixture using sulfate resistance cement with 20% fly ash

The test results show that when using mineral admixtures, especially silica fume,
the strength of concrete is higher than that of concrete with out mineral admixture.
Besides, they can promote the reaction of cement and water, so the strength of concrete
is higher than that of concrete without mineral admixture at the early ages.
The strength development of concrete using PC 40 sulfate resistance cement is the same
as that of normal concrete.
Chloride resistance.
The test method is determined by ASTM C1202-97. This is a rapid test method of
Concrete's ability to resist Chloride ion. The test result is given in Table 3.3
The calculated average result was 237 Coulombs. Compared to the specification
table of ASTM C 1202-97 standard, chloride ion permeability of this concrete is very
low. It means that its density is very high. Moreover, the cement used in this study is
sulfate resistance cement, so capacity of corrosion resistance of concrete is very high.

This result shows that concrete using silica fume and superplasticizer SP 51 has much
higher ability to resist steel corrosion than normal concrete, which is based on some following
features:
- The higher strength and the longer destroyed time the sample has, the higher the
ability to resist corrosion is.
- The destroyed time of samples M1 and M4 are 41 and 24 days, respectively, in which
the mixture M1 used both of silica fume and superplasticizer.
- The destroyed time of sample M 3 which didn't use superplasticizer is 13 days. It
means that superplasticizer is the important factor for improving the microstructure.
- The destroyed time of samples M2 and M4 are 20 and 23 days, respectively, in which
the sample M2 didn't use any admixture, sample M4 used fly ash. It means that fly ash doesn't
improve much the microstructure of concrete.
- The sample M1 with water/binder=0.223, 10% silica fume, 1% SP 51 has
compressive strength 1114.1 kG/cm2, charge passed 292 coulombs, stable current of circuit
2.7-3.5mA, destroyed time 41 days. The quality of this sample is the highest compared to the
rest of test samples.
