Abstract |
One of the typical evaluation models of concrete air-void system is spacing factor (SF), which was suggested by Power. Power Spacing Factor (PSF) has a disadvantage of the result being different from the actual case due to the existence of entrapped air, because PSF uses average single spacing factor. Therefore, the Actual Measurement Spacing Factor (AMSF) using actually measured data of air void spacing was developed from this study. PSF and AMSF were compared and evaluated in this study by using the image analysis test result of concrete mixture. This study results showed that PSF and AMSF are generally similar, but AMSF had a larger value when PSF was greater than 400 μm. The results indicated a possibility of PSF giving false measurement estimation where the measurement is less than the actual value in the concrete mixture containing less air. Also, in the result of PSF and AMSF analysis according to the existence of entrapped air, AMSF showed a larger value in the analysis without entrapped air. But PSF showed a smaller value in the analysis without entrapped air, which was different from the actual case. Because PSF used average single spacing factor, it tended to give a false result. The study results showed that AMSF gave more accurate analysis results.
