These foundations are used to resiet vertical gravity loads and occasionally wind induced pullout farcea via cancrete collma. While this practice l�as a long and successful history,only recently has technical inforrnation become available to provide a scientific basis for design of these footings. The attached ASA.E document`In-Situ Hydration of a Dry Concrete Mix'outiinae tests that were recently conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. These tests show that dry concrete mix is hydrated by soil moisdue. After four weeks the minimum compressive strength far any of the tested samples was 1227 psi. Fwther,as noted in the discussion,this value is low because the samples were tested when fully waber logged. Samples that were not submerged in water tested eignificantly higher. After 24 weeks the minimum strength tested was 1748 psi with average strength far the 18 test specimena of 3466 psi spproaching that of the best normally hydrabeci concrete. (Page 12-16) Recently Lester has developed a footing system using dry concrote mix placed below a 4"x 1T'pre-cast cancrete footing. This system called Pro-Cast Plus has several key advantages. — Immediate capacity provided by the pre-cast footing. — Ability to produce larga diameter footings on demand by adding dry concrete mix. — C�t effective for small numbers of footings. — Allows immediate colunm placement and back filling. — Simplifies scheduling by eliminatin�the need for ready-mix concrete. While Pro-Cast Plus footings have several key advantages,they do rely on in-situ hydration to reach deaign capacity. Both anecdotal aad test data indicate thie process d�oes readily occur and produces concrote with good strength. Aawever,im-situ}rydration does rely on the vagaries of sail and weather to provide the conditions required to hydrate the cement Recognizing this fact,Lester engineers have been very canservative in the design of Pre-Cast Plus footing by using the following design aseurnptions. — Maximum column reaction is limited to 8000#. — The bottom 2"of concrete mix is ignored per ACI recommendations despite the fact that the hole is cleaned and ta�nped prior to placing the dry concrete mix. — Design concrete strer►gth is limited to 500 psi while the ingredients used to form the dry concrete mixture are proportioned to provide a minimum 4000 psi concrete mix. These aseumptions cause Pre-Cast Plus footings to have a significantly higher factor of safety than standard caet in place footings. The high safety factar means these footinge will perfarm as designed.

Such reliance on in-situ hydration was largely restricted to smaller agricultural and other non-commercial buildings.As average post frame building size increased and engineering became more advanced,fonning post footings entirely out of non-hydrated concrete mix was phased out.Today,in-situ hydration is used (1)in the formation of above-footing collars as part of the post uplift resistance systein,and(2) under precast concrete footing pads to increase the size of the footing.When used under a precast concrete pad,concrete hydrated in-situ need only havc a compressive strength equal to the pressure at the bottom of the precast footing.In general,tlus is a relatively low pressure,and one that a confined concrete dry mix may be able to withstand without being hydrated.It is irnportant to note that whereas infiltration of watet into a soil mass will reduce the bearing capacity of the soil mass, such infiltration wiU increase the bearing capacity of a dry concrete mix. Relying on in-situ hydration of concrete has several advantages.First,concrete can be used in small porbiona as needed(truck deliveries require simultaneous placement of all footings/collazs). Second,water is not required on site.Third,cold weather is not a factor during construction. Fourth,time associated with clea.ning concrete mixing and placement tools is eliminated.Finally, planning is easier as the construction schedule ia not dictated by concrete delivery. Although in-situ hydradon has been"practiced"for well over a quarter century in Wisconsin,it is only used in the construction of agricultural and other cod�exempt shuctures.Before Wisconsin code officials will allow use of in-situ hydrated concrete in code buildings,its properties must be quantified and guidelines/procedures for placement of dry concrete mixes established. In 200I,as a first step toward investigating in-situ hydration,a seriea of concrete collars were allowed to hydrate in-situ as part of a post uplift resistance study(Bohnhoff et.al.,2001). Collars retrieved from posts removed after 6 and 30 weeks of embedment were cored.The average compressive strengths of these cores for the 6 and 30 week embedment periods were 2130 and 24651bf/in2,respectively.Because of these fairly significant strengths,a decision was made to validate the test results with a more controlled laboratory study involving in-situ hydration of the same concrete mix used in the field study. Research Ubjectives The objectives of this study were to: . Deteimine the relative compressive str�ngth of a specific dry concrete mix when hydrated in- situ. . Examine factors affecting the strength of concrete mixes that are hydrated in-situ.

Each footing was appro7cimately 30 cm(12 in.)in diameter and 14 cm(S.5 in.)thick.The nine footings in each tank were located at three different depths.Tanks were paired,and each pair subje,cted to a different water treatment. Moisture was continuously monitored in one taak of each of the three pairs using ECHO probes.Three footings(one from each depth)were removed from each tank after being in place 4 weeks.An additional three footings were removed after 12 weeks and the last three footings removed after being in place 24 weeks.Immediately after being removed,the footings were cored,and the cores were immediately capped and tested to determine their compressive strength. For compressive strength comparison purposes,the same dry concrete mix was conventionally hydrated and cast into concrete cylinders.These cylinders w�re cured according to standard pmcedures and tested 4 weeks after fabrication. Concrete Mig ProperEies One pallet(36001bm in forty-five 801bm bags)of dry concrete mix was obtained direcdy from an American Materials Corporation(AMC) facility in Eau Claire,WI(www.americanmaterials.com). To help ensure bag-to-ba�uniformity,the 1630 kg(36001bm)of dry mix provided by AMC was all bagged from the middle of the same batch mix(i.e.,production run). Sold under the trade name EZ Crete, each 36.3 kg(801bm)bag contains appmximately 5.6 kg(12.41bm)of Portland cement, 7.6 kg(16.81bm)of'/a inch aggregate,and 23.0 kg(50.81bm)of sand. Both chy and wet sieve analyses were conducted on the dry concrete mix.Dry sieve analysis was done in accordance with ASTM D422-63.For the wet sieve analysis,matcrial was washed down through the stack of sieves after dry sieving.The sieves were then dried and reweighed.Results of both wet and dry sie�ving are compiled in Table 1.

This sand was air-dried by spreading it over the floor and using several fans to move surrounding air.The entire process took approximately a month as only a thin layer of sand was dried each day. Sand moisture content after air drying averaged 0.23%. Samples taken from various locations in the dried sand pile were dry-sieved in accordance with ASTM D422-63.Average results from this sieve aaalysis are listed in the ri�ht column of Table 1. From a plot of the gradation curve,grain diameters corresponding to the 10, 30,and 60 percent finer values(i.e.,the D 10,D30 and D60 values)were estimated to be 0.195 mm,0.365 mm,and 1.0 mm.Using these values yields a uniformity coefficient,Cu,for the sand of 5.1,and a coefficient of gradation,Cc, for the sand of 0.68.With a G�less than 6.0,the material is categorized as a poorly graded sand under the Unified Soil Classification System(ASTM D2487- 00).Fineness modulus for the sand was calculated to be 2.8.The sand does fall within the gradation limits for fine ag�regate as specified in ASTM C33-02a Standard Spec�cation for Concrete Aggregates. For the variations in moisture content and compaction in tlus study, sand dry bulk density was found to range between 1.67 and 1.89 Mg/xn3 (104 and 1181bm/ft3).Mean particle specific gravity for the sand was 2.71. Tank Set Up and Specimen Preparation To contain and hydrate dry concrete mix footings,a set-up featuring six 1.2 m3 (300 gallon) galvanized steel livestock tanks was utilized.Each of the six tanks contained nine c�y concrete mix footings laid out as shown in figure 1. The first step in tank set-up involved installation of water supply/drain lines at the base of the tank as shown in figures 1 and 2a.Thirty-eight millimeter(1.5 in.)diameter black corrugated plastic pipe was looped and taped to the base of each tank.Numerous slits were cut ia each loop with a utility knife and each loop was connected via a T-fitting and straight pipe to a line outside the tanlc. Geotextile fabric was positioned in each T-fitting to ensure that sand would not exit the tank through the water supply/drain lines.In addition,groundwater level monitoring tubes were installed on each side of each tank as shown in figure 2b. Five centimeter(2 in.)thick polystyrene was used to Fartition each tank into three sections as shown in figure 1.Thia was done so that footings in one section could be removed without disturbing footings in another section.To facilitate water Aow,partition bottoms were fastened 10 cm(4 in.)above tank bottoma,and numerous 9.5 mm(3/8 in.)holes were drilled through each parrtition.These holes can be seen in figure 4b. Sand,dry concrete mix footings and moisture meters were placed in the tanks after partition installation.First,a 10 cm layer of air-dried sand was compacted into the bottom of each tank using a piece of plywood and an electric sander(figure 3a). Second,tlu�ee dry concrete mix footings were placed in each tank using metal window screen as forms(see figure 4).Each forming screen had a diameter 30 cm(12 in.)and a height slighdy greater than 14 cm(5.5 inches).The 30 cm diaineter was selected because it would provide room for at least three 7.0 cm(2.75 inch)diameter cores. The 14 cm height was dictated by the requirement that concrete core height be two times concrete core diazneter.Dry mix concrete was carefully placed in each form so as to minimize separation of cement and finer aggregate from coarser particles. http://asae.frymulti.com/request2.asp?JII�S&AID=14082&CID=1n�1003&v=&,i=&T=1 6/4/2004 7-14-04; 17:40 ;Lester Bulldln� ;3203955376 # 7/ 28 Article Request Page Page 5 of 26 Top View Convete mix co�olidated b�to 30 an c�arnder We�er drainlsupplY Ilne x 14 an l�gh(12 x SS in.)arreen bnn Polymtynene per�tfon A ,q 1 -086 m ��,.� Ma�ure Meters SeCti01114rA ����Y��CO�� -2.50 m�1�in.) an .7 n. 14 an(S.5 in.) 14 an(S.5 in.) 14 an(5.5 in.) 10 an 4A in.

Once a screen form was filled with dry concrete mix,plywood was placed over the footing and vibrated with the eleciric sander.This both compacted the dry mix and left a flat surface for fuhue coring. Sand was then placed and compacted around the forcned footings.This sand was compacted level with the top of the footings,thus forming the base for the middle set of footings. The middle and top set of footings were formed in a manner identical to the bottom se�The top set of footings was covered with a layer of sand appmximately 7 cm in depth. http://asae.frymulti.cotn/request2.asp?JID=S&AID=14082&CII�Inv2003&v=&i=&T=1 6/4/2004 7-14-04; 17:40 ;Lester Bulldlna ;3203955376 # 9/ 28 Article Request Page Page 7 of 26 Water Introduction and Control The six tanks were paired,and each of the three pairs subjected to a different water tteatment as specified in Table 2 and illustrated in figure 5.

The higher water table level in tanks 1,2,5 and 6 was obtained by connecting their water supply/dra�n lines to the bottom of a plastic pail.With the system shown in figure S,the elevation of the water table in tanks 1,2,5 and 6 was equal to that in the pail.Lines connected to taiilcs 3 and 4 provided for unrestricted drainage of the tanks.The elevation of tlie water table in tanks 3 and 4 was level with the bottom of the drain lines at their highest point,which for the duration of the study was the point where the lines were connected to the taaks. Water was sprinkled on the surface of tanks 3,4,5 and 6 beginning on the first day of the study and on two week intervals thereafter. In each bi-weekly sprinkling,3.8 cm(1.5 in.)of water were added to each tank.This sprinkling was done manually as shown in fig�ure 6 and took approximately 15 minutes per tank. http://asae.fiymulti.com/request2.asp?JID=S&AID=140828�CII�1nv2003&v=&i=&T=1 6/4/2004 7-i4-04; i7:40 ;Lester Buliding ;3203955376 # t0/ 28 Article Request Page Page 8 of 26 � (! Figure 6.Zachary Hartjes applying water to tank S.Data acquisition system for ECHO probes shown in foreground. Moisture Meters Dielectric conatants for the sand in tanks 2,4 and 6 were continuously monitored using ECH 2 O Diel�tric Aquameters(a.k.a.ECHO probes)and a Campbell Scientific CR23X datalogger.Via a calibration process described later,probe output was related to the sand's volumetric moisture content.Probes were placed in the tanks horizontally with the flat side perpendicular to the soil surface as shown in figure 3b.Probes were positioned at depths of 7,21, 35 and 49 cm below the sand surface.These deptlis correspond t�the elevations of the top and bottom surfaces of the footings(figure 1).Because we only had 11 probes,we did not place a probe at the 49 cm depth in tank 6. Footing Removal and Testing A top,middle,and bottom footing were removed from each of the six tanks after being subjected to the previously descnbed water treatrnents for 4 weeks.These footings were all removed from the same end of each tank.Eight weeks later(twelve weeks from beginning of water treatments)a second set of footings were removed from the opposite end of the tanks from where the first footings were removed.The rcmaining footings(located in the middle of each tank)and all ECHO probea were removed twelve weeks after removal of the second 8et of footings or 24 weeks after commencement of water treatments. As footings were excavated,sand at ECHO pmbe depths of 7,21,35 and 49 cm was removed from each tank,and its moisture content determined in accordance with ASTM D4959-00.Immediately after all three footings were removed from the end of a tank,excavated sand was replaced and compacted into the tank so as not to significantly affect moisture conditions suimunding those footings still in the tank.Additional sand was added at this time to compensate for volume lost due http://asae.fiymulti.com/requestZ.asp?JII�S&AID=14082&CID=1nv2003&v=8�i=&T=1 6/4/2004 7-74-04; 17:40 ;Lester Bulldln� ;3203955376 # 11/ 28 Article Request Page Page 9 of 26 to footing removal. Each footing was prepared for coring by scraping off sand and removing the metal screening form.

Volumetric Moisture Content Volumetric moist�re content(VMC)is equal to the volume of water in a substance divided by the total volume of the substance.For soil,VMC can be calculated as: VMC=Mdb?d/7w[1J where:Mdb is�oil moisture content expressed on a dry basis;?d is soil dry bulk density;and 7 w is water density. Moisture contents of the sand samples removed from each tank were converted to volumetric moisture contents using a fixed value of 1826 kg/m3 (1141bm/ft3)for sand dry bulk density.Each of these VMC values was matched with the ECHO probe mV output value r�orded in the same tank at the same time and at the same depth at which the sand sample was removed Four sets of values were obtained for each pmbe(i.e.,one each at 0,4, 12 and 24 weeks),and these values were regressed to obtain a linear relationship between VMC and that probe's mV outpu�Using the resulting relationships,the plote in figures 8,9 and 10 were developed.These plots show the VMC at various depths in tanks 2,4 and 6,respectively,as continuously monitored during the 24 week period. http://asae.frymulti.com/request2.asp?JII�S&AII�14082&CID=1n�003&v=&i=&'I�1 6/4/2004 7-�4-04; 17:40 ;Lester Bulidln8 ;3203955376 # �2/ 28 Article Request Page Page 10 of 26 0.35 19.2 Tank 2 (Treatment A) � -as cm depth � �35 cm depth � 0.30 . -21 cm depih 16.4 � -7cm depth � � 0.25 13.7 � � • � U 0.20 10.9 a � � � 0.15 6.2 V � .. . . . �' � 0.10 5.5 � o � .. � � � ,.. .� : : . �' 0.05 .: . .

A total of 49 cylinders were cast: seven cylinders each at seven different water/ccment(WG7 ratios. Of the seven cylinders at each WC ratio,three were rodded with a 9.5 mm(3/8-inch)diameter md and two were vibrated on a Syntron vibrating table(Humboldt Manufacturing Company)in accordance with ASTM C 192/C 192M-00.The remaining two were rodded with a 15.9 mm(5/8- inch)diameter rod which is not in accordance with ASTM C192/C192M-00.

The differences between these averages and individual core values from Appendix A,when squared and summed,produces a total residual sum of squazes of 16,736,0221bf1/in4 for the 180 residuals.With 126 degrees of freedom(180-54)this corresponda to a pooled stanciard error of 364.41bf/in2.In other words,we would expect compressive strength values for a set of cores removed from the same footing to have a standard deviation of 364.41bf/in2.

For this reason,a two-tailed T-test was use to determine the significance of the average strength differences for each set of replicates. The results of this analysis are give�n in Table 3.For example: the two footings removed at the four week mark from the top of tanks 1 and 2 had average compressive strengths of 3107 and 2485 lbf/in2,respectively.Table 3 lists the level of probability at which the observed d�erence between these replicates is significant at 5.2%.What this means is that only 5.2 times out of 100 would we expect to see a difference greater than 6221bf/in2(3107 -2485 1bf/in2)if there indeed was no difference between how the footings were fabricated and hydrated. Since 5.2 out of 100 is a rather low probability,one may conclude that the footing pair is significantly different.Note that a color code is used to identify replicates in Table 3 whose difference is statistically more significant. Despite statistically significant differences between the cornpressive strength of some footing replicates,their values were still averaged.These average values aze listed at the bottom of Table 3 and have been plotted in figure 14.

Discussion Overview In-situ hydrated concrete footings removed at 4, 12 and 24 weeks had mean compressive streng�khs of approximately 2570,3250 and 34701bf/in2,respectively.The same concrete mix,when normally hydrated and cured under ideal conditions for 28 days,had compressive strengths that averaged&om SOO lbf/in2 for a W/C ratio of 0.26,to 37001bf/in2 for a W/C ratio of 0.58. Based on a comparison of Wese numbers,one can conclude that in-situ hydration can produce concrete with significant strength, and that norrnally hydrated concrete strength is highly dependent on W/C ratio. A closer examination of the numbers behind these numbers reveals that in-situ hydration is likely a fuaction of dry mix gradation,initial consolidation,confinement pressure,unifomrity of dry mix after placement, as well as conditions related to water movement into the confined mix. Post Placement Hydratlon In-situ cement hydration falls under the broader category of what the authors have coined"post- placement hydration."Post-placement hydra.tion of cement or a dry concrete mix refers to any concrete manufacturing process in which cement is mixed with the aggregatss and positioned inside forms and molds,or placed in the gmund before the addition of water. In other worda,no mixing of the ingredients takes place after the addition of water. Aggregate Spacing Portland cement and other hydraulic cements set and harden by reacting chemically with water. This reaction is called hydradon.During hydration, each cement particle fomas a type of growth on its surface as calcium silicates are hydrated to form calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydrate (CSI�.This hydration continues as long as moisture and temperature conditions are favorable,and non-hydrated calcium silicates still exis�The rate of hydration depends upon the composition and specific surface area(i.e.,fineness)of the cement,the mixture proportions,and temperature. The main factor affecting concrete strength is the pmximity of hydrating cement particles to suaounding cement particles and aggregatea.The closer all solid particles are prior to hydration, . the greater We contact/bonding area will be between aggregate and fully hydrated cement particles as shown in 17.It follows that the greater the bonding area,the greater the force required to separate the aggregates,and the gceater the overall strength of the conglomeration. http://asae.frymulti.com/request2.asp?JID=S&AID=14082&CID=1nv2003&v=&i=&T=1 6/4/2004 7-i4-04; �7:40 ;Leste� Bulldln8 ;3203955376 # 20/ 28 Article Request Page Page 18 of 26 <"�<`:.. o:. � �I .H�;: �';�"�� ::S .i '.s „ i �.., r �n,. x � :�.r:�..

(a)(b)Figure 17.(a)Excessive spacing between aggregates results in a relatively weak bond between aggregates. (U)Close aggregate spacing enables hydrating cement particles to form strong bonds with a�gregatea. There are three main inteirelated factors that affect aggregate spacing: (1)water content,(2) aggregate gradation,and(3)degree of compaction.Water content affects aggregate spacing in two ways. First,excessive water takes up space that could be occupied by aggregate.Because water is incompressible,the only way aggregate particles can be forced closer together once the space between the particles has been saturated with water is to remove some of the water. It follows that too much water reduces concrete strength.Too little water can also reduce strength.This is evidenced by the plot in figuxe 15.As water is added to a dry mi1c,a viscous paste with some cohesiveness is formed which makes it more difficult to consolidate the mixture.This is illustrated by the relationship between concrete bulk density and W/C ratio in figure 16. Pazticle size distnbution(aggregate gradation)significantly affects aggregate because it is directly related to fihe total mass of material within a given volume.A poorly graded aggregate(i.e.,one with similar sized particles)will have a lower density than a well-graded aggregate(i.e.,one with a good distnbution of pazticle sizes).This is because smaller particles fill the spaces between larger particles.It is also important to have a sufficient percentage of small particles,as it is the distance between the smallest particles that dictates aggregate spacing. Degree of compaction is the third main factor affecting aggregate spacing.The closer that particles can be brought togetlner by mechanical meams,the stronger should be the bonds between the particles. Once one understands the impact of aggregate spacing on concrete strength,the advantage of in- situ hydration becomes more apparent First,it appears that closer aggregate spacing can be achieved by compacting dry ingredients instead of ingredients to which a minimal amount of water has akeady been added(e.g.,the aznount needed for full cement hydration).This statement is based http://asae.frymulti.com/requeat2.asp?JII�S&AID=14082&CII�1nv2003&w&i=&T=1 6/4/2004 7-14-04; 17:40 ;Lester Bullding ;3203955376 # 21/ 28 Article Request Page Page 19 of 26 on a comparison of the bulk density of in-situ hydrated concrete(2.2+Mg/m3)and that for normally-hydrated concrete with a 0.26 W/C ratio(�1.9 Mghn3). Second,the confinement of a dry mix prior to hydration helps keep particles together during the hydration process and ttris counteracts the hydrostatic pressures that work to drive the particles apart when excessive water is brought into a mix.Third,during the normal hydration process,cement particles begin to giow while the ingredients are still bein�mixed,and these growing particles are surrounded by water. Consequently,the hydrating cement particles aze not in direct contact with aggregates and other cement particles during early stages of hydration,and when there is excessive water in a mi7c,they may make only minimal contact after hydration is complete. Uniformity of Compacted Miz The main advantage that normally-hydra.ted concrete has over in-situ hydrated concrete is that mixing of ingredients after the addition of water helps disperse cement particles more uniformly thmughout the mix. In other words,water serves as a cement-dispersing agent in normally-hydrated mixes.In the case of in-situ hydration,one must rely on the pmper mixing and placing of the dry ingredients,that is,mixing and placing that does not result in the separa.tion of cement,fine aggregates and coarse aggregates.Separation of cement and fine and coarse aggregates can occur as bagged dry mix is transported,as dry mix is taken from the bag and placed into forms/molds, and as it is vibrated or otherwise compacted into forms/molds.Variations in the degree of such separation from footing to footing would explain the higher than expected differences between footing replicates as highlighted in Table 3. Research is needed to assess m�thods for producing dry conerete mixes that will be characterized by a uniform dispersion of cement after being compacted into forms/molds. Such methods include (1)special treatmenta that adhere/attach dry cement particles to aggregate surfaces prior to bagging, and(2)methods to reduce segregation during bagging,transporation and placement of dry concrete mixes. Introdncing Water into a Dry Concrete Miz When in-situ hydration was found to produce concrete with significant stcength during the post uplift resistance study(Bohnhoi�e�al.,2001),one of the main unanswered questions was"Where did the water come from7"More specifically,was the dry concrete mix hydrated by rainwater movitwg down thmugh the ground via gravitational forces,or water drawn into the mix and surrounding area by surface tension(i.e.,capillary action)?It was primarily in pw�suit of an answer to this question that led to the three water treatmenta featured in this study.Water treaiment A was eatablished to provide a situation in which all dry concrete mix would be hydrated via the capillary rise of water.Water treatment B represented a situation in wluch in-situ hydration was prunarily due to water moving downward by gravitational forces.Water treatment C represented hydration by a combination of gravitational flow and capillary rise. Based on averages listed in Table 3 and plotted in figure 14,one can conclude that there was not a significant difference in the compressive strengths of footings subjectsd to water treatments A and thoae subjected to water treatment B.This is not surprising since water treatments A and B produced somewhat similar soil moisture content levels at the various monitored depths(see figiues 8 and 9).'Thie becomes clearer when the sawtooth plots in figure 9 are smoothed. � Similar soil moisture content profiles in tanks 1 and 2 and tanks 3 and 4 can be attributed to a combination of�factors.First, groundwater table heights in tanlcs 1 and 2 were probably only about 5 cm(2 in.)}ugher than in tanks 3 and 4. Second,capiUary fringe depth was approximately , equal to the depth of sand in each tank(i.e.,capillary fringe depth is equal to the total height of capillary rise above the water table).Thus,even though water was not sprinkled on the tops of http://asae.frymulti.com/request2.asp?JID=S&AID=14082&CID=1n�003&v=&i=&T=1 6/4/2004 7-14-04; 17:40 ;Lester Bulldln� ;3203955376 # 22/ 28 Article Request Page Page 20 of 26 tanks 1 and 2,water was brought near the surface of the tanks via capiIlary action.Also,even thmugh tanks 3 and 4 were drained,capillary action maintained water soil moisture content pmfiles in the�nks similar to those in tanks 1 and 2.Third,the rate of capillary rise in tanks 1 and 2 was relatively rapid. Data ahows that water reached the bottom edge of the top ECHO probe in tank 2 only 3.5 days after the test had commenc�. In other words,while top footings in tanks 3 and 4 received water on the first day of the test,it was not long afterwards that water was introduced into top footings in tanks 1 and 2. The rate of capillary rise in the air-dried sand and maximum capillary fringe depth in the sand were determined with an apparatus specially cons�tructed to measure these phenomena.Results from these tests showed that capillary rise in the air-dried sand could be expressed as a function of time as follows: Capillary Rise,mm=28 mm+ 109 mm x log(t/minute) [3] Where capillary riae is the dist�nce between the water table and the upward moving water front in the air-dried sand and t is elapsed minutes since the dried sand was brought into contact with the water.This equation is accurate for time periods,t,greater than 1 minute and less 80,600 minutes (8 weeks).Note that the base of the top ECIiO pmbe in Tank 2 was located approximately 420 mm (16.5 in.)above the water table level in Tank 2.For the amount of time it took for the water to reach this probe(i.e.,5040 minutes)equation 3 predicts a capillary rise of 431 mm. Overall,soil moisture levels in tanks 5 and 6 due to water treabment C were higher t1�an those in the other four tanks.In retrospect, soil moisture levels due to all water treatments should have been virhially identical.The primary reason for differences was attributed to the relatively low permeability of the geotextile fabric placed in each tank's water supply/drain line to keep sand from exiting the tanks.Without fabric or with a less permeable fabric,water added every 14 days to tarilcs 3,4, 5 and 6 would have been moved more rapidly thmugh the sand by gravitational forces. Without the restricting fabric,soil moisture profilea in all tanks should have been nearly identical within a couple hours of water application to tanks 3,4,5 and 6. Because of the lugh capillary rise,we were not able to assess the degree of hydration above the capillary fringe zone in a soil.For this reason,we would use coarser and more poorly graded sand if we were to reivn this experiment.In addition,we would allow for fi�cer movement of water in and out of tas�cs,and we would set up one tank with bottom drainage so that a gmund water table was not present in the tank. Specimen Moisture Content Regardless of water treatment,bottom footings had a significantly lower compressive strength than footings located at top and middle of the tanks(see Table 3 and figure 14).While there is an obvious tendency to attribute this to the hydration process,it is likely due to relatively high moisture content oFthe bottom footings at the time of removal,coring and testing. Several sludies have shown the compressive strength of a conerete specimen is decreased if its moisture content is uniformly increased throughout its volume.A good review of this research is provided by Bartlett and MacGregor(1993). One theory for this effect is that water absorbed into the pores of the hydrating cement particles(a.k.a.gel pores)has no place to go when the specimen is loaded.This results in a build-up of hydrostatic pressure that literally helps blow the specimen apart.Another theory is that excess water in the gel forces gel surfaces further apart,thus reducing Van Der WalIs forces between gel parkicles.These adhesive forces are proportional to the specific surface energy, and thus the critical stress required for cracking. Another possble reason for wetter cores having lower compreasive strengths is that wet cores are http://asae.frymulti.com/request2.asp?JI1�5&AID=14082&CID=1nv2003&v=&i=&T=1 6/4/2004 7-i4-04; 17:40 ;Lester Building ;3203955376 # 23/ 28 Article Request Page Page 21 of 26 more susceptt�le to damage during driliing than are drier cores.While this is just a theory pmposed by the authors of this paper,it has merit based on the fact that othera(Bungey, 1989;Maholtra, 1977;Neville, 1996)report that core drilling operations can affect bonds between aggregate and surrounding paste.Neville states that"however cazeful the driIling,there is a high risk of slight damage." Somewhat confi�sing is the significant decrease,with time,in the average compressive strength of the top footings in t�nks 5 and 6(figure 13).This caa only be partially explained by the fact that specimens removed later in the study had higher moisture contents.Another possible explanation is that a small modification in test procedure had a greater than expected affect on test results.While coring footings for the 28-day tests,the coring bit wore out.During the search for a new bit,the remaining footings—those from tanks 5 and 6-were exposed to mom conditions for an additional four hours.When it became clear that a bit could not be obtained until the next day,the footings were placed in plastic bags to help ma.inta.in their moisture content until coring.W'hile it seems unlikely that this change in testing proceduze would have affected results,it remains a possibility. Another possbility is that the new bit caused less damage during coring operations than the old one. � Future Work While the results of this study are interesting,they do little to support the acdial use of,or reliance on,in-situ hydration in everyday practice. Like most investigations,this s�dy has raised more questions than it has answered.Some of these queations follow. Uniformity of Mix What impact doea uniformity of mix have on resulting concrete pmperties? What methods exist for temporary coating of aggregates with dry cement particles juat before placement so as to maintain a uniform distribution of cement particles during placement7 What methods exist for permanent coating of aggregates with dry cement particles so as to maint�in a uniform distribution of cement particles during placement? Compaction/Confinement: How does degree of compaction affect resulting concrete pmperties? Is a confining pressure required during hydration? Does method of hydration dictate the need for,or the amount of,confining pressure during hydration? At what point does compaction and confinin�pressure impede hydration? Aggregate: Is there a significant difference in compaction of dry mixes feahuuig natural aggi�egates as opposed to manufactured(i.e.,more angular)aggregate? hrip://asae.fiymulti.com/request2.asp7JID=S&AID=140828�CI�1nv2003&v=&i=&T=1 6/4/2004 7-14-04; 17:40 ;Lester BUlldin� ;3203955376 # 24/ 28 Article Request Page Page 22 of 26 How does aggregate size distribution(aggregate gradation)affect resulting concrete properties? In an effort to coat aggregate with dry cement particles,will a specific mineral composition of aggregate be needed? Hydration What is the most effective way to hydrate a confined dry mix: (1)water under low pressure, (2) water under high pressure,(3)steam injection,or(4)vapor diffusion7 Do high initial flow velocities segregate mix ingredients? Does flow direction influence particle segregation? How does hydration method impact confinement of the dry mix? Conclusions Based on this study,the following was concluded. In-situ hydration of a dry concrete mix can produce concrete with a compressive strength comparable to a noimally hydrated concrete mix. For a given mix,the closer the aggregate spacing,the stronger the resulting concrete.Closer aggregate spacing can be achieved by compacting dry ingredients instead of ingredients to which a minitnal amount of water has already been added. Confinement of a dry mix prior to hydration helps keep particles together during the hydration pmcess and this counteracts the hydrostatic pressures that work to drive particles apart when excessive water is brought into a mix. The main advantage that normally-hydrated concrete has over in-situ hydrated concrete is that mixing of ingi�edients after the addition of water helps disperse cement particles more uniformly throughout the mix.Research is needed to assess methods far pmducing dry concrete mixes that will be characterized by a uniform dispersion of cement after being compacted into forms/molds The compressive strength of a concrete specimen is decreased if its moisture content is unifozmly increased throughout its volume. Additional research is needed to determine how in-situ hydrated concrete strength is affected by ag$regate properties,initial compaction,confinement pressure,dry mix unifornlity after placeznent, as well as conditions related to water movement into the confined mix.
