Abrasion Resistance of Concrete

Abrasion Resistance of Cement-Based Composites

“…The abrasion resistance of cement-based composites is influenced by a number of factors, including compressive strength, properties of the aggregate, water/cementitious ratio, the addition of SCMs, and the properties of supplementary strengthening materials, such as fibers. The ACI committee 201 report indicates that the abrasion resistance of cement-based composites depends primarily upon compressive strength, which is consistent with previous studies [5,40,41]. …”

“…Silica fume has a considerable influence on abrasion resistance [18]. Li et al [19] claimed that replacing cement with silica fume not only reduces the tendency to form cracks, but also decreases the width of cracks in restrained shrinkage test.…”

A preliminary study on the effect of fine aggregate replacement with metakaolin on strength and abrasion resistance of concrete

“…The figure clearly shows that the depth of wear decreases as compressive strength increases. This means that the compressive strength is the most important factor governing the abrasion resistance of concrete [77] and the abrasion resistance of concrete follows its compressive strength [78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85]. However, Fig.…”

Abrasive wear evolution in concrete pavements

“…Different authors state that abrasion resistance increases with an increase in strength (Hadchti and Carrasquillo, 1988) and that this characteristic is the most important governing factor for the abrasion resistance of concrete (Laplante, Aitcin, & Vezina, 1991). Naik, Singh, & Hossain (1994) indicated that the relationship between the compressive strength and the abrasion resistance is linear.…”
