I TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO 1. Introduction / Introdução Crack formation in concrete structures is quite common due to the intrinsic behavior of the material. Moreover, the cracks are a path for the access of deleterious substances, which may reduce the useful life of structures. The theme of this project is on implementation of advanced cementitious composite materials for applications on cracks in concrete dams. Fissura em estruturas de concreto é bastante comum, devido ao comportamento intrínseco do material.

Historic / Histórico Past seventy years has witnessed an era of the greatest infrastructure development in Brazil; several large dams have been built and the technological developments of the nation is this area has been enormously successful. Despite such great advances, domestic technological knowledge has not kept pace with the available knowledge in terms on implementation of innovative technologies. There is a currently need to analyze the microstructural and macro-structural behavior of materials in terms of their durability as well as the structures they are utilized in. Therefore, development of collaborative projects with international consultants has been fundamental at this time. Os últimos setenta anos têm assistido a uma era do maior desenvolvimento de infraestrutura no Brasil; várias grandes barragens foram construídas e os desenvolvimentos tecnológicos da nação têm sido um enorme sucesso. Apesar de tais grandes avanços, o conhecimento tecnológico nacional não manteve o ritmo com o conhecimento disponível em termos de implementação de tecnologias inovadoras. Existe atualmente uma necessidade de analisar o comportamento macroestrutural e microestrutural de materiais em termos de suas durabilidades assim como as das estruturas nas quais eles serão utilizados. Entretanto, o desenvolvimento de projetos colaborativos com consultores internacionais tem sido fundamental nesse momento. Many techniques have been applied to mitigate or minimize the problem of thermal cracking. For example, cooling of the concrete prior to placement and/or the use of pozzolanic material on partial replacement for cement are successful approaches in mitigation of thermal cracking. Muitas técnicas foram aplicadas para mitigar ou minimizar o problema de fissuração térmica. Por exemplo, o resfriamento do concreto antes do lançamento e/ou o uso de material pozolânico em substituição parcial ao cimento são abordagens bem-sucedidas na mitigação de fissuras de origem térmica. At the beginning of the construction of Itaipu, in the 80s, several blocks of one of buttress dams showed cracks in concrete which were attributed to thermal and/or mechanical origin. This situation was addressed by the Concrete Laboratory at Itaipu using a special study to adjust the concrete mix. A team was created especially for identifying and measuring these cracks. More than 10,000 cracks were recorded and monitored between 1980 and 2013. Some of them were treated, but some are still exposed and active since they were untreated by recommendations of Brazilian technical standards. An important aspect of the study shows a wide variation in daily ambient temperature that may range from 14 to 35 degrees Celsius in Foz do No início da construção de Itaipu, na década de 80, vários blocos de uma das barragens contraforte apresentaram fissuras no concreto, de origem térmica e/ou mecânica. Esta situação foi abordada pelo Laboratório de Concreto em Itaipu usando um estudo especial para ajustar a mistura de concreto. Uma equipe foi criada especialmente para identificar e medir essas fissuras. Mais de 10.000 fissuras foram registradas e monitoradas entre 1980 e 2013. Algumas delas foram tratadas, mas algumas ainda estão expostas e ativas (sem tratamento por recomendações de normas técnicas brasileiras). Um aspecto importante do estudo mostra uma ampla variação na temperatura ambiente diária que pode variar de 14 a 35 graus Celsius em Foz 3 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO Iguaçu – where the Itaipu Dam is located. Another situation of interest is the process of concrete dynamic micro cracking of Itaipu’s powerhouse caused by the vibration of generating units. Some studies with fibers embedded in the concrete surrounding the spiral box of hydroelectric plants have been proposed by Federal University of Goiás, Furnas Centrais Elétricas S.A. and COPPE/Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, in addition to development of studies by University of São Paulo. do Iguaçu – onde a represa de Itaipu está localizada. Outra situação de interesse é o processo de microfissuração dinâmica do concreto da casa de força de Itaipu causado pela vibração das unidades geradoras. Alguns estudos com fibras embebidas no concreto, circundante caixa espiral de usinas hidrelétricas, têm sido propostos pela Universidade Federal de Goiás, Furnas Centrais Elétricas SA e COPPE/Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, além do desenvolvimento de estudos pela Universidade de São Paulo. The durability of the Itaipu Dam is critical to the continuity of economic development of both Brazil and Paraguay. It is a hydroelectric power plant with a track record of superiority in energy generation: positive net financial result in 2012, with a world record in electricity annual production near 100,000,000 MWh (2012 and 2013). A durabilidade da Usina de Itaipu é fundamental para a continuidade do desenvolvimento econômico do Brasil e do Paraguai, por ser binacional. É uma usina hidrelétrica com um histórico de superioridade na geração de energia: resultado financeiro líquido positivo em 2012, com um recorde mundial de produção anual de eletricidade perto de 100.000.000 MWh (2012 e 2013). Considering the natural and inevitable durability and long term aging of construction materials such as concrete it is increasingly important to search for technical alternatives of low cost maintenance and structural health monitoring of the dam. Considerando a durabilidade natural e inevitável e envelhecimento a longo prazo de materiais de construção tais como concreto é cada vez mais importante a busca de alternativas técnicas de baixo custo de manutenção e monitoramento de integridade estrutural da barragem. It is necessary to study new techniques and materials that can be applied as an alternative to detect and monitor the durability of structures under imposed deformations in a large-scale structure such as the Itaipu dam. The research focuses on addressing the main challenges of using cement based composite materials to seal cracks, their compatibility and adhesion to old concrete, deformation, and their use as an indicator of the state of deformation during the time of application. The results can be tested in concrete structures of Itaipu. É necessário estudar novas técnicas e materiais que podem ser aplicados como uma alternativa para detectar e monitorar a durabilidade das estruturas sob deformações impostas em uma estrutura de grande escala como a barragem de Itaipu. A pesquisa centra-se na resolução dos principais desafios da utilização de materiais compósitos à base de cimento para selar fissuras, a sua compatibilidade e adesão ao concreto velho, deformação, e seu uso como um indicador do estado de deformação durante o tempo de aplicação. Os resultados podem ser testados em estruturas de concreto de Itaipu. 4 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO 4. Related literature / Literatura correlata An extensive literature search was carried out on the main project themes – Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC), TRC tension tests and Fabric-Masonry (F-M) Bond tests – to provide the theoretical basis for the analysis as well as the state of the art in testing and design of TRC materials. This literature listed in Reference section will be used to guide future reports and papers. Uma extensa pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada sobre os principais temas do projeto – Concreto Reforçado com Fibras Têxteis (TRC), ensaios de tensão em TRC e ensaios de aderência entre Compósitos com Fibras Têxteis e Alvenaria – para fornecer a base teórica para a análise, bem como o estado da arte em testes e concepção de materiais de TRC. Esta literatura, listada na seção de Referência, será usado para guiar relatórios e artigos futuros. One of the reasons for the extensive use of cement-based systems is the design versatility that can be tailored for each application. Various constituent materials and processing techniques can be used to achieve desired performance from fresh state properties to superior mechanical properties and durability. Numerous technical challenges remain in promotion and use of blended cements as sustainable costsaving alternatives and value-added ingredients for concrete production [109]. However, we must appreciate the complexity of integration of cement chemistry, early age and longterm properties, and specifications when using cement products in construction projects [82]. Uma das razões para o uso extensivo de sistemas à base de cimento é a versatilidade de design que pode ser adaptado para cada aplicação. Vários materiais constituintes e técnicas de processamento podem ser usados para obter um desempenho desejado de propriedades do estado fresco para propriedades mecânicas superiores e durabilidade. Inúmeros desafios técnicos permanecem na promoção e utilização de cimentos compostos como alternativas sustentáveis de redução de custos e ingredientes de valor agregado para a produção de concreto [109]. No entanto, temos de apreciar a complexidade da integração de química do cimento, idade precoce e as propriedades de longo prazo, e as especificações quando se utiliza produtos de cimento em projetos de construção [82]. Fabric reinforced cement-based composites are a new class of sustainable construction materials with superior tensile strength and ductility. These materials have the potential for becoming load-bearing structural members; therefore, a wide array of structural and nonstructural applications are possible. The constitutive response that entails damage evolution under tensile loading is the primary and fundamental component of mechanical response in these systems. Compósitos à base de cimento reforçados com tecido são uma nova classe de materiais de construção sustentável, com resistência à tração superior e ductilidade. Estes materiais têm potencial para se tornarem membros estruturais de suporte de carga; portanto, uma grande variedade de aplicações estruturais e não estruturais são possíveis. A resposta constitutiva que implica a evolução do dano sob cargas de tração é o componente principal e fundamental da resposta mecânica nestes sistemas. In principle, there are many combinations of fiber and matrix available for textile reinforced composites. A large range of materials choices is available which can be used with a range of 5 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO manufacturing techniques. One can analyze and design materials at the same time that the manufacturing is considered. This is in contrast with other classes of engineering materials, where the material is produced first and then machined and formed into the desired shape. The full range of possibilities for composite materials is very large. Reinforcements may consist of arrange of fibers such as S-glass, R-glass, a wide range of carbon, boron, ceramic (e.g., alumina, silicon carbide), polymeric, natural, and aramid fibers. The reinforcement can come in the form of long (continuous) or short fibers, disks or plates, spheres, or ellipsoids. Matrices include a wide ranges of polymers (epoxides, polyesters, nylons, etc.), metals (aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium, etc.), cements, and ceramics (SiC, glass ceramics, etc.). Em princípio, há muitas combinações de fibra e matriz disponíveis para compósitos reforçados com têxteis. Uma grande gama de opções de materiais está disponível os quais podem ser usados com uma variedade de técnicas de fabrico. Podese analisar e projetar materiais ao mesmo tempo que o fabrico é considerado. Isto está em contraste com outras classes de materiais de engenharia, onde o material é produzido primeiro e, em seguida, industrializado e modelado na forma desejada. A gama completa de possibilidades para materiais compósitos é muito grande. Os reforços podem consistir de uma variedade de fibras, tais como S-vidro, R-vidro, uma vasta gama de fibras de carbono, de boro, de cerâmica (por exemplo, alumina, carboneto de silício), poliméricas, naturais, e de aramida. O reforço pode vir na forma de longas (contínuos) ou curtas fibras, discos ou placas, esferas ou elipsoides. As matrizes incluem uma ampla gama de polímeros (epóxis, poliésteres, nylons, etc.), metais (ligas de alumínio, ligas de magnésio, titânio, etc.), cimentos e materiais cerâmicos (SiC, cerâmica de vidro, etc.). 5. Experimental Program / Programa Experimental As a relevant part of the project, it was necessary to gain training and familiarity with the various safety and health related aspects of project management in the structural Engineering Lab at ASU. Topics included chemical safety, lab safety, waste management, as well as administrative procedures such as machine shop interaction as well as ordering procedures. These tasks were necessary prior to the initiation of research work with research using laboratories and to allow access to servers and internal network. Como uma parte relevante do projeto, foi necessário adquirir formação e familiaridade com os vários aspectos relacionados com a segurança e saúde do gerenciamento de projetos no Laboratório de Engenharia estrutural na ASU. Os tópicos incluíram segurança química, segurança do laboratório, gestão de resíduos, bem como os procedimentos administrativos, como a interação oficina mecânica, bem como os procedimentos para pedido. Estas tarefas eram necessárias antes do início do trabalho de pesquisa com pesquisa utilizando laboratórios e para permitir o acesso aos servidores e rede interna. 6 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO 5.1. Infra-structure / Infraestrutura The experimental program have been carried out in two laboratories of the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment: O programa experimental tem sido realizado em dois laboratórios da Escola de Engenharia Sustentável e do Ambiente Construído: Cement and Concrete Materials Laboratory: with mixers, materials and a wet chamber. This is where samples were prepared and cured. Laboratório de Materiais de Concreto e Cimento: com misturadores, materiais e uma câmara úmida. Foi onde as amostras foram preparadas e curadas.

Laboratório de Estruturas: com vários equipamentos para ensaios mecânicos, incluindo as prensas MTS e Instron que foram usadas para executar os ensaios deste trabalho. Both located in the Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building II (ISTB 2), in the ASU. Ambos localizados no Edifício de Tecnologia e Ciências Interdisciplinares II (ISTB 2), na ASU. 5.2. Methodology / Metodologia The executive planning of the laboratorial program included the optimization of designs of laboratory essays and logistics activities, including procurement of materials and of equipment eventually. The experiments has included: O planejamento executivo do programa laboratorial incluiu a otimização de modelos de ensaios de laboratório e atividades de logística, incluindo a aquisição de materiais e de equipamentos, eventualmente. As experiências incluíram: - Preparation and characterization of materials; - Design and preparation of samples; - Preparation of laboratory testing scheme; and - Experiments, focusing on tension and bond tests. - Preparação e caracterização de materiais; - Projeto e preparação de amostras; - Preparação do esquema de testes de laboratório; e - Experimentos, com foco em tensões e testes de aderência. 5.3. Materials / Materiais The first issue was how to ensure that the material will bond to old concrete? From this point on, type of fiber to be used was left to a second stage, and the focus took a direction to how to test it. In addition, the type of fiber should also be analyzed from a technical and economic A primeira questão foi: a forma de garantir que o material se ligará ao concreto velho? Deste ponto em diante, o tipo de fibra a ser usada foi deixado para uma segunda fase, e o foco tomou um rumo para como testá-lo. Além disso, o tipo de fibra também deverá ser analisado sob o 7 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO point of view, and if it is easily obtained in Brazil. This is the major difference between a good solution and a costly one. ponto de vista técnico e econômico, e se é facilmente obtida no Brasil. Isto será o grande diferencial entre uma boa solução e uma solução onerosa. Considering this, at this stage we could use any type of fiber. So, instead of PVA fibers, one type of Alkali-resistant (AR) glass fiber was used for testing, either in tension or in bond assays. AR glass filament yarns were designed especially for their high alkalinity resistance in the reinforcement of portland-cement-based materials. AR glass contains more than 15% by mass of zirconia. The basic materials including silica sand, clay, and limestone are melted at temperatures up to 1350°C and pulled off the spinning nozzle with a speed between 25 and 150 m/s and diameters ranging from 9 to 27 m. After spinning a coating material defined as sizing (0.5–1.5 mass% of the fiber) of organic polymers dispersed in water is applied on the filaments. Approximately 400 to 6600 of filaments are combined to form a yarn. The sizing is important because it protects and improves the yarn properties as well as its adhesion with the matrix material. Table 1 details the characteristics of fiber used. Considerando isso, nesta fase poderíamos utilizar qualquer tipo de fibra. Assim, em vez de fibras de PVA, um tipo de fibra de vidro álcali-resistente (AR) foi utilizada para o teste, quer em tensão, quer em ensaios de aderência. Fios de filamentos de vidro AR foram projetados especialmente por sua alta resistência à alcalinidade no reforço de materiais baseados em cimento portland. Vidro AR contém mais do que 15% em massa de zircônia. Os materiais básicos, incluindo areia de sílica, argila, pedra calcária, são fundidos a temperaturas até 1350°C e puxados para fora do bocal de fiação com uma velocidade compreendida entre 25 e 150m/s e diâmetros variando entre 9 e 27 de m. Depois da fiação, um material de revestimento, definido como o volume (0,5-1,5% de massa da fibra) de polímeros orgânicos dispersos em água, é aplicado sobre os filamentos. Aproximadamente 400 a 6600 de filamentos são combinados para formar um fio. O volume é importante porque protege e melhora as propriedades do fio, bem como a sua adesão com o material de matriz.

Samples / Amostras 5.3.1. Specimens type B’ / Espécimes tipo B’ Samples for trial bond tests were prepared, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the thickness of the TRC composite = 10mm and width the same of the masonry block, about 4 inches (therefore, the type B’). Two masonry blocks were put side by side; one of them prevented from bonding to TRC composite by a thin layer of polyethylene film. Side fixed bars assured the final thickness of the specimens (10mm) (Figure 1-a). AR glass fiber meshes were cut to fit the mold of samples (Figure 1-b). Amostras para ensaios preliminares de aderência foram preparadas, como mostrado nas Fig. 1 e 2, com espessura do compósito de TRC = 10mm e a mesma largura do bloco de alvenaria, em torno de 4 polegadas (por isso o tipo B’). Dois blocos de alvenaria foram colocados lado a lado; um deles impedido de se ligar ao compósito de TRC por uma camada fina de polietileno. Barras laterais fixas asseguraram a espessura final dos espécimes (10 mm) (Fig. 1-a). Malhas de fibra de vidro resistente a álcalis foram cortadas para ajustar ao molde das amostras (Fig. 1-b).

Specimens type A and B / Espécimes tipos A e B A second set of specimens width around 3” was made in order to fit to the hydraulic grips of tension test machine. They were called type A, for thickness = 5mm, and B, for thickness = 10mm. The molding process was the same, with the thin layer of polyethylene replaced by a plastic strip of 0.3mm thickness. Mix design was 850g of cement, 50g of Silica Fume, 100g of wollastonite, 1000g of sand; and water to cementitious materials = 0.4. After molding, the samples were covered with a damp cloth to prevent evaporation of the mixing water for 24 hours and then Um segundo conjunto de amostras de largura em torno de 3" foi feito a fim de se ajustarem às garras hidráulicas da máquina de teste de tensão. Eles foram chamados de tipo A, para espessura = 5 milímetros, e de B, para a espessura = 10 mm. O processo de moldagem foi o mesmo, sendo a camada fina de polietileno substituída por tira de plástico de 0,3mm de espessura. A composição da mistura foi: 850g de cimento, 50g de sílica ativa, 100g de Volastonita, 1000 g de areia; e fator água / materiais cimentícios = 0,4.

Testing / Ensaios The parameters used in the test equipment (presses) for bond and tension tests are in Appendix C. It is worth emphasizing that for the tensile tests, the loading speed measured by the actuator (ramp) was 0.015 in./Min. (0.381 mm/Min.) until 0.05 inches (12.5 mm) of displacement and 0.10 in./Min. (2.54 mm/Min.) until the end of the test (max. displacement = 1.25 in.). These parameters were used in both MTS and Instron presses. For the fatigue test (cyclic), the parameters are described in item 5.4.5. Os parâmetros utilizados nos equipamentos de ensaios (prensas) para os testes de aderência e de tensão estão no arquivo do Apêndice C. Cabe ressaltar que, para os ensaios de tração, a velocidade de carregamento medida pelo atuador (rampa) foi de 0,015 pol./min. (0,381 mm/min.) até 0,05 polegadas (12.5 mm) de deslocamento e de 0,10 pol./min. (2,54 mm/min.) até o final do ensaio (máx. = 1,25 pol.). Estes parâmetros foram utilizados tanto na prensa MTS quanto na Instron. Para o ensaio de fadiga (cíclico), os parâmetros estão descritos no item 5.4.5. 5.4.1. Bond tests for assessment / Testes de aderência para avaliação A setup was developed to perform bond test as a tension test (Figures 9 to 11) and it was run for assessment. The original bottom grips of the MTS machine were changed to fit the 4 inches width of specimen, and the final arrangement looked like the pictures in Figure 9. Two LVDTs Uma configuração foi desenvolvida para realizar o teste de aderência como um teste de tensão (Figuras 9 a 11) e ele foi executado como avaliação. As garras inferiores originais da máquina de MTS foram alteradas para se ajustar à largura de 4 polegadas do espécime, e o arranjo final se 14 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO were used: one fixed onto TRC to see the deformation of the composite; another fixed onto lateral of composite and onto the masonry block to observe the relative displacement (debonding) between them (Figure 9-b). The bolt that fixed the masonry block was not aligned to it (Figure 10-a). When testing, it was observed that a sliding of the masonry block was occurring and the first crack appeared (number 1 in Figure 10-b). As the masonry was displacing, the crack number 2 in Figure 10-b appeared and the type of rupture, showed in Figure 11-a, was increasingly happening. As it can be seen, one type of torsion occurred. Figure 11-a also illustrates the position of unaligned masonry block almost at the end of test. The regularity of molding layers of samples is shown in details in Figure 11-b. pareceu com as imagens da Figura 9. Dois LVDTs foram usados: um fixo no TRC para ver a deformação do compósito; outro fixado sobre lateral do compósito e sobre o bloco de alvenaria para observar o deslocamento relativo (descolamento) entre si (Figura 9-b). O parafuso que fixava o bloco de alvenaria não estava alinhado a ele (Figura 10-a). Ao realizar o ensaio, foi observado que um deslizamento do bloco de alvenaria estava ocorrendo e a primeira fissura apareceu (número 1 na Figura 10-b). À medida que a alvenaria foi se deslocando, a fissura número 2 na Figura 10-b apareceu e o tipo de ruptura, mostrado na Figura 11-a, foi acontecendo cada vez mais. Como pode ser visto, um tipo de torção ocorreu. A Figura 11-a ilustra também a posição do bloco de alvenaria desalinhado quase no final do ensaio. A regularidade de camadas de moldagem de amostras é mostrada em detalhes na Figura 11b.

After the observations of initial tests, there was one proposal to avoid slipping of the masonry blocks, shown in Appendix A. The adjustments in original setup consisted of: Após as observações dos testes iniciais, houve uma proposta para evitar o escorregamento dos blocos de alvenaria, mostrada no Apêndice A. Os ajustes na configuração original consistiram de: - Bolt an angle on the base of apparatus that holds the masonry block; - 16 Aparafusar uma cantoneira com a base do aparelho que contém o bloco de alvenaria; TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO - Make a plate with holes to fix the masonry block at this angle; - - Make another angle with holes to fix vertically the block, to make the bolt aligned to it, aiming to not cause any torsion force on it. Fazer uma placa com furos para fixar o bloco de alvenaria neste ângulo; Fazer uma outra cantoneira com furos para corrigir verticalmente o bloco, para tornar o parafuso alinhado a ele, com o objetivo de não causar qualquer força de torção sobre o mesmo. 5.4.2. Digital Image Correlation – DIC / Correlação Digital de Imagens – CDI The setup for DIC of some samples was used, as seen in images of Figure 12. A configuração para a CDI de algumas amostras foi utilizada, como visto nas fotos da Figura 12. About the use of Digital Image Correlation – DIC, the thinking was to use two cameras taking pictures of the lateral of specimen, showing effectively the deformation and the debonding of TRC of the masonry block; and another one, taking images of front of the TRC to see how is its behavior under tension. The main problem encountered until now is related to specimens, type A and B. The face of the layer of TRC was more distant of DIC cameras than the block face, because of reducing width, from 4” to 3”. Therefore, the images did not allow the analysis by DIC. After this finding, the setup was adjusted to two cameras taking pictures of the front of the F-M samples, only. Sobre o uso de Correlação Digital de Imagem CDI, o pensamento era usar duas câmeras tirando fotos da lateral do espécime, mostrando efetivamente a deformação e o descolamento do TRC do bloco de alvenaria; e outra, tomando imagens da frente do TRC para ver como é seu comportamento sob tensão. O principal problema encontrado até agora está relacionado com as amostras, do tipo A e B. A face da camada de TRC estava mais distante das câmaras de CDI do que a face do bloco, por causa da redução de largura, de 4 " para 3". Portanto, as imagens não permitiram a análise por CDI. Após esta constatação, a instalação foi ajustada para duas câmeras tomando imagens de frente das amostras FM, somente. 17 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO (a) (b) (c) (d) Figure 12: Support for cameras (a); type of camera used (b); setup for TRC tension test (c); and setup for F-M Bond test (d). / Figura 12: Apoio para as câmeras (a); tipo de câmera usada (b); configuração para o ensaio de tensão em TRC (c); e configuração para o ensaio de aderência F-M (d).

TRC Tension tests / Ensaios de tensão do TRC TRC tension tests were run on MTS Machine after 7 days of molding. Special care was taken to avoid sliding of the sample in the hydraulic grips – top and bottom – by marks of reference on samples (Figure 14-a). While running tests, DIC images were taken. Figure 14-b shows one specimen being subjected to this procedure. Measurements of load, actuator displacement and two parallel LVTDs were taken. Ensaios de tensão em TRC foram executados na prensa MTS após 7 dias de moldagem. Um cuidado especial foi tomado para evitar o deslizamento da amostra nas garras hidráulicas – superior e inferior – através de marcas de referência nas amostras (Figura 14-a). Durante a execução de testes, imagens para CDI foram tomadas. Figura 14-b mostra uma amostra que está sendo submetido a este procedimento.

Os testes foram executados na prensa Instron, seguindo o mesmo procedimento realizado em testes de tensão em TRC. Measurements of load, actuator displacement and two LVDTs were also taken. The LVDTs were fixed: one controlling the TRC deformation (back of sample) and another controlling debonding between TRC and masonry Também foram tomadas as medidas da carga, deslocamento do atuador e dois LVDT.

Fatigue tests (cyclic) / Ensaios de fadiga (cíclico) Fatigue tests were composed by three phases: Loading 1 – actuator force speed (ramp) equal to 0.015 in./Min. (0.381 mm/Min.) until 0.01 inches (0.254 mm) of displacement; Cyclic – frequency = 5 Hz, 500000 cycles; and Loading 2 – speed = 0.10 in./Min. (2.54 mm/Min.) until the end of the test. Os ensaios de fadiga foram compostos por três fases: Carga 1 - velocidade de carregamento do atuador (rampa) igual a 0,015 pol./min.

Results and discussions / Resultados e discussões The results are presented in this section. Os resultados são apresentados nesta seção. Tension test Ensaio de tensão 21 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO “Strain-Stress” results of TRC tension tests are shown in Figure 16. The graphs clearly show the appearance of each crack on TRC plate (Figures 16-a and 16-b). The cracks are evident in the specimens, as shown in the representative images of Figures 16-c and 16-d. Note that you can make a perfect correlation between the test results and a sequence of images collected in the meantime. Each cracking of the cement matrix causes a relief in the tension imposed on the TRC and the fiber mesh acts, resisting the tensile load. Thus, multiple cracks appear until the final rupture of the composite. Os resultados “Deformação-Tensão” dos testes de tensão em TRC são mostrados na Figura 16. Os gráficos exibem claramente o aparecimento de cada fissura na placa de TRC (Figuras 16-a e 16-b). As fissuras são evidenciadas nos corpos de prova, como mostram as imagens representativas das Figuras 16-c e 16-d. Nota-se que é possível fazer uma correlação perfeita entre os resultados dos ensaios e uma sequência de imagens coletadas durante o mesmo. Cada fissuração da matriz cimentícia causa um alívio na tensão imposta ao TRC e a malha de fibra atua, resistindo à carga de tração. Assim, múltiplas fissuras aparecem até a ruptura final do compósito.

Bond test Ensaio de aderência The number of cracks in TRC was lower in bond tests. Lower deformations in TRCs were also observed, although the values of the rupture tensions do not have to change (Fig. 17). A quantidade de fissuras no TRC foi menor nos ensaios de aderência. Menores deformações nos TRCs também foram evidenciadas, embora os valores das tensões de ruptura não tenham se alterado (Fig. 17). (a) (b) Figure 17: Bond test results of Fabric-Masonry samples: type A (a) and type B (b). / Figura 17: Resultados de ensaios de tensão das amostras de TRC: tipo A (a) e tipo B (b). 23 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO The LVDTs were tested in a few locations to ascertain which strains would be more relevant in the specimens. Thus, for tension tests on TRC plates, two LVDT's were used: one at each side of the sample. And, for the bond test, one LVDT was fixed on the back of the sample for the deformation of the composite, or plate of TRC, as shows the Figure 18-a; and the other had its lower part glued on masonry block and its top on composite (Figure 18-b). The analysis of the Digital Image Correlation are made in specific computer programs. The results produce images as presented on Figure 19. They clearly show the appearance of the first crack and its strain field (Figure 19-a); and the appearance of other cracks and the changes in the sample deformation field (Figure 19-b). Os LVDTs foram testados em algumas posições para verificar quais deformações seriam mais relevantes nos espécimes. Desta forma, para os ensaios de tensão em placas de TRC, dois LVDTs foram utilizados: um em cada lateral da amostra. E, para o ensaio de aderência, um LVDT foi fixado no dorso da amostra, para obter a deformação do compósito, ou placa de TRC, como mostra a Figura 18-a; e o outro teve sua parte inferior colada no bloco de alvenaria e sua parte superior no compósito (Figura 18-b). As análises de Correlação Digital de Imagens são realizadas em programas computacionais específicos. Os resultados produzem imagens como as apresentadas na Figura 19. Elas mostram claramente o aparecimento da primeira fissura e seu campo de deformações (Figura 19-a); e o aparecimento de outras fissuras e as alterações nos campos de deformações da amostra (Figura 19b). (a) (b) Figure 18: Position of LVDTs on specimens for bond tests: side of TRC-masonry block (a) and back of TRC (b). / Figura 18: Posição dos LVDTs no corpos de provas para o ensaio de aderência: lateral do TRC e do bloco de alvenaria (a) e nas costas do TRC (b). 24 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO DIC CDI By this technique, one can analyze various parameters of structural analysis. In Figure 19, we note the evolution of the cracks, with the fields of deformation occurring during opening of a crack. Por esta técnica, pode-se analisar diversos parâmetros da análise estrutural. Na Figura 19, notase a evolução das fissuras, com os campos de deformações que ocorrem durante a abertura da fissura.

Compression test Ensaio de compressão The graph of Figure 20 shows the results of compression tests on mortar used as a cement based on the TRC. The wide dispersion is due to random choice between samples of three batches. Rising average compression at 28 days may be related to the beginning of the most pozzolanic activity period of silica fume. O gráfico da Figura 20 apresenta os resultados dos ensaios de compressão em argamassa usada como matriz cimentícia no TRC. A grande dispersão se deve a escolha aleatória entre amostras constituídas por três bateladas. A elevação da compressão média aos 28 dias pode estar relacionada ao início do período de maior atividade pozolânica da sílica ativa. 25 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO 500 7000 6000 400 5000 300 4000 1 day / 1 dia 3000 kgf/cm² Compression strenght (lbf/in²) Resist. à compressão (libras/pol²) 8000 200 7 days / 7 dias 2000 14 days / 14 dias 100 28 days / 28 dias 1000 Mean values/Valores médios 0 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 days / dias Figure 20: Compression test results of mortar samples. / Figura 20: Resultados de ensaios de compressão das amostras de argamassa. 7. Conclusions / Conclusões The use of textile fiber results in noticeable improvement in possible repairs of cracked surfaces. This is a fact. However, methods of testing and analysis of materials used have yet to be improved, it can be noted that the adhesion of the matrix in the masonry block has modified the aspect of cracking of the composite, reducing the amount of cracking. O uso de fibras têxteis resulta em notória melhoria em eventuais reparos de superfícies fissuradas. Isto é fato. No entanto, os métodos de ensaios e de análises dos materiais utilizados ainda têm que ser melhorados, pois pode-se notar que a aderência da matriz no bloco de alvenaria modificou o aspecto da fissuração do compósito, reduzindo a quantidade de fissuras. In this sense, the main conclusion is that it new methodologies and testing procedures was developed during the study period at ASU, but should be improved and adjusted for materials studies applicable in concrete structures of dams. Neste sentido, a principal conclusão é que novas metodologias e procedimentos de ensaios foram desenvolvidas durante o período de estudos na ASU, mas que deverão ser melhoradas e ajustadas para estudos de materiais aplicáveis em estruturas de concreto de barragens. 26 TECHNICAL REPORT RELATÓRIO TÉCNICO 8.
