The focus of this study is to investigate the ASR of concrete incorporating pre-treated soda-lime glass as aggregates. The glass aggregates were pre-treated with three different techniques, i.e. Ca(OH)2, NaOH and the mixed solution. The results indicate that all the pre-treatment techniques showed a decrease effect on ASR and such an effect increase with treatment time, the mixed solution showed the best effect. The pre-treated glass aggregate at the mixed solution at 80℃ for 7 days providing a 45% reduction in the expansion caused by ASR, and it can be considered innocuous based on ASTM C1260.
This research provides techniques for the implementation of an integrity evaluation system developed for wind turbine structures to jack-up barge. The strain values obtained from the upper tip of the footing are to be converted into values at a single point in order to represent the structural behavior. These obtained values are evaluated simultaneously through P-M curve, generated by FEM results. Evaluating loads with P-M curve, structural stability of barge could then be monitored.
