ABSTRACT
This paper presents the effect of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) present in the mixing and curing
water on the strength of blended cement concrete. The concrete is produced with mixing and curing
water containing H2SO4 with varying dosages of 100, 150, 300, 500 and 900 mg/l. In addition to this,
control specimens were prepared with deionised water (without H2SO4) for comparison. The cement
used is fly ash blended cement (BC). The compressive strengths were evaluated for 28 and 90 days
of curing. Effect on setting time of blended cement is also evaluated. The results show that, the
compressive strength of blended cement concrete has come down with an increase in the
concentration of H2SO4 at both 28 and 90 days. Compressive strengths of Blended Cement Concrete
(BCC) have decreased in the range of 2 to 23%, with an increase in H2SO4 concentration, when
compared with the control specimens.
Key words: Blended Cement, Compressive Strength, Regression Models, Sulphuric Acid,
Setting Time.
I. INTRODUCTION
Water is an important ingredient of concrete, which is not only actively participates in the
hydration of cement but also contributes to the workability of fresh concrete. Cement is a mixture of
complex compounds, the reaction of cement with water leads to setting and hardening. All the
compounds present in the cement are anhydrous. But when brought in contact with water, they get
hydrolyzed, forming hydrated compounds. Since water helps to form the strength giving cement gel,
the quality of water is to be critically monitored and controlled during the process of concrete
making as the water universally the most abundant and natural available solvent, can contain large no
of impurities ranging from less to very high concentration of them. In practice, very often, great
control on properties of cement and aggregate is exercised but the control on the quality of water is
often neglected.

A popular yardstick to the suitability of water for mixing concrete is that, if it is fit for
drinking, it is fit for making concrete. This doesn’t appear to be a true statement for all condition.
Sometimes, water contain a small amount of sugar would be suitable for drinking, but not for making
concrete and conversely water suitable for making concrete may not be necessarily be fit for
drinking, especially if the water contains pathogenic microbial contaminants. In connection research
work has been carried out on effect of polluted/chemical water on hardened concrete strength and
durability. The damage impact of various deicing chemicals and exposure conditions on concrete
materials were studied by Kejin [1], and results indicated that the various deicing chemicals
penetrated at different rates in to a given paste and concrete resulting in different degree of damages.
Gorninski [2] presented an assessment of the chemical resistance of eight different compositions of
polymeric mortars. Adnan [3] reported the effects of environmental factors on the addition and
durability characters of epoxy bonded concrete prisms. Fikret [4] investigated the resistance of
mortars to magnesium sulphate attack and results reported that there is a significant change in
compressive strength properties. Venkateswara Reddy [5] studied the influence of strong alkaline
substances (Na2CO3 and NaHCO3) in mixing water on strength and setting properties of concrete. In
many places ground water and surface water contains the impurities, more than that of limits
specified by the IS-456-2000 [6]. As there is scarcity of potable water in many places, this impure
water is being used for mixing as well as curing of concrete in the civil engineering constructions.
Now a days Blended Cements are popularly used in construction to reduce the heat of hydration.
Hence an attempt is made to study the effect of water containing H2SO4 at various concentrations on
the strength of blended cement concrete.
II. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1 Cement
Blended Cement containing 30% of fly ash was used in this investigation. The compositions
of major compounds present in the cements are presented in Table 1.
2.2 Fine Aggregate
Locally available River sand was used.
2.3 Coarse Aggregate
Machine Crushed granite stone of max size 20mm confirming to IS 383 -1970 was used.
2.4 Water
De-ionized water spiked with H2SO4 at different concentrations i.e. 100, 150, 300, 500 and 900 mg/l
was used as mixing and curing water.
2.5 Experimental program
The influence of H2SO4 at different concentrations was studied when the H2SO4 is spiked
with deionised water. Test samples are compared with the control samples. This comparison may not
be possible in case of control samples made with locally available potable water since it varies in
chemical composition from place to place. With the above reason, H2SO4 was mixed with deionised
water as per the dosage mentioned above. This water is used for preparation of samples for setting
times (initial & final) of BC and its concrete namely BCC. The IS mix design is adopted for M20
grade concrete mix. For determining the initial and final setting times of cement, Vicat apparatus is
used and to assess the compressive strength, 30 cubes of size 150x150x150mm for concrete were
cast and tested.

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Effect on setting times of Blended Cement (BC)
The effect of H2SO4 on initial and final setting times is shown in Table 2, from which it is
observed that both initial and final setting times got retarded with increase in H2SO4 concentration in
deionised water. IS 456-2000 (Clause 5.4.1.3) stipulates that, when the difference in setting time(s) is
less than 30 minutes, the change is considered to be negligible or insignificant and if it is more than
30 minutes, the change is considered to be significant. From the experimentation work it was
observed that, when the H2SO4 concentration exceeded 300 mg/l, the retardation for initial and final
setting times was significant (i.e., more than 30 minutes). When sulphuric acid content is 900 mg/l
(Maximum), initial setting time was 188 minutes which is 55 minutes more than that of control mix.
Similarly a difference of 83 minutes was observed in the case of final setting time.

3.2 Effect on Compressive Strength of Blended Cement Concrete (BCC)
The effect of H2SO4 concentration on the compressive strength Blended Cement Concrete
(BCC) is presented in Table 3. Decrease in compressive strength of specimens prepared with H2SO4
solution is observed as the sulphuric acid concentration increases, the maximum concentration being

900 mg/l. Although there is decrease in the compressive strength of concrete cubes of all age
samples, significant decrease is observed at a concentration of 300 mg/l. The rate of decrease in
compressive strength also gradually increases with increase in the concentration of the H2SO4. When
H2SO4 concentration is maximum, i.e., 900 mg/l, the decrease in compressive strength is 21.67% for
28 day concrete and 22.41% for 90 day concrete respectively, when compared with that of cubes
prepared with the deionised water (control test sample).
Pacheco-Torgal F and Said Jalali [7] studied the effect of sulphuric acid resistance on plain,
polymer modified and fly ash cement concretes. Samples prepared by them were exposed to
sulphuric acid after 28 days of curing. The results revealed that the use of polymers impregnation
enhances chemical resistance of concrete considerably. It was also observed that the fly ash cement
concrete shown a noteworthy resistance vis-a-vis the plain concrete. Similar observations were also
noticed in the present experimental investigation.

3.3 Regression models
To estimate the compressive strength of blended cement concrete exposed to H2SO4
,
two
regression models have been developed one each for 28 and 90 days. The regression models are
given below.
fck28 = 23.73 - 0.006 × C -------------------Equation (1)
Fck90 = 27 - 0.006 × C ----------------------- Equation (2)
Where,
fck28 = 28 day compressive strength of BCC in MPa
Fck90 = 90 day compressive strength of BCC in MPa
C = Concentration of H2SO4 in mixing water in mg/l
The coefficient of co-relation factor for regression equations 1 and 2 is 0.972 and 0.965
respectively. The performance of regression models is presented in table 4. From this table the ratios
between experimental compressive strength value and the value predicted by the regression model
are about 0.92 to 1.03. This implies the proposed models made good agreement with experimental
values.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
The following conclusions were made from the experimental work.
1. Both initial and final setting times of BC got retarded with an increase in sulphuric acid
concentration in deionised water.
2. The retardation for initial and final setting times is significant (i.e., more than 30 minutes),
when the acid content exceeds 300 mg/l.
3. Continuous decrease in compressive strength BCC specimens prepared with H2SO4 acid
solution is observed as the acid concentration increases till the maximum concentration (900
mg/l) tested.
4. Although there is decrease in the compressive strength of concrete cubes of all samples,
significant decrease is observed only from concentration of 300 mg/l. The rate of decrease in
compressive strength also gradually increases with the increase in the concentration of the
H2SO4.
5. The proposed regression models shown good performance to predict the compressive
strength.

Sudarsana Rao1 , Vaishali.G.Ghorpade2 1 Civil Engg. Department, JNT University Anantapur, India 2 Civil Engg. Department, JNT University Anantapur, India ABSTRACT This paper presents the effect of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) present in the mixing and curing water on the strength of blended cement concrete. The concrete is produced with mixing and curing water containing H2SO4 with varying dosages of 100, 150, 300, 500 and 900 mg/l. In addition to this, control specimens were prepared with deionised water (without H2SO4) for comparison. The cement used is fly ash blended cement (BC). The compressive strengths were evaluated for 28 and 90 days of curing. Effect on setting time of blended cement is also evaluated. The results show that, the compressive strength of blended cement concrete has come down with an increase in the concentration of H2SO4 at both 28 and 90 days. Compressive strengths of Blended Cement Concrete (BCC) have decreased in the range of 2 to 23%, with an increase in H2SO4 concentration, when compared with the control specimens. Key words: Blended Cement, Compressive Strength, Regression Models, Sulphuric Acid, Setting Time. I. INTRODUCTION Water is an important ingredient of concrete, which is not only actively participates in the hydration of cement but also contributes to the workability of fresh concrete. Cement is a mixture of complex compounds, the reaction of cement with water leads to setting and hardening. All the compounds present in the cement are anhydrous. But when brought in contact with water, they get hydrolyzed, forming hydrated compounds. Since water helps to form the strength giving cement gel, the quality of water is to be critically monitored and controlled during the process of concrete making as the water universally the most abundant and natural available solvent, can contain large no of impurities ranging from less to very high concentration of them. In practice, very often, great control on properties of cement and aggregate is exercised but the control on the quality of water is often neglected.

  • 2. International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology (IJCIET), ISSN 0976 – 6308 (Print), ISSN 0976 – 6316(Online) Volume 4, Issue 5, September – October (2013), © IAEME 10 A popular yardstick to the suitability of water for mixing concrete is that, if it is fit for drinking, it is fit for making concrete. This doesn’t appear to be a true statement for all condition. Sometimes, water contain a small amount of sugar would be suitable for drinking, but not for making concrete and conversely water suitable for making concrete may not be necessarily be fit for drinking, especially if the water contains pathogenic microbial contaminants. In connection research work has been carried out on effect of polluted/chemical water on hardened concrete strength and durability. The damage impact of various deicing chemicals and exposure conditions on concrete materials were studied by Kejin [1], and results indicated that the various deicing chemicals penetrated at different rates in to a given paste and concrete resulting in different degree of damages. Gorninski [2] presented an assessment of the chemical resistance of eight different compositions of polymeric mortars. Adnan [3] reported the effects of environmental factors on the addition and durability characters of epoxy bonded concrete prisms. Fikret [4] investigated the resistance of mortars to magnesium sulphate attack and results reported that there is a significant change in compressive strength properties. Venkateswara Reddy [5] studied the influence of strong alkaline substances (Na2CO3 and NaHCO3) in mixing water on strength and setting properties of concrete. In many places ground water and surface water contains the impurities, more than that of limits specified by the IS-456-2000 [6]. As there is scarcity of potable water in many places, this impure water is being used for mixing as well as curing of concrete in the civil engineering constructions. Now a days Blended Cements are popularly used in construction to reduce the heat of hydration. Hence an attempt is made to study the effect of water containing H2SO4 at various concentrations on the strength of blended cement concrete. II. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1 Cement Blended Cement containing 30% of fly ash was used in this investigation. The compositions of major compounds present in the cements are presented in Table 1. 2.2 Fine Aggregate Locally available River sand was used. 2.3 Coarse Aggregate Machine Crushed granite stone of max size 20mm confirming to IS 383 -1970 was used. 2.4 Water De-ionized water spiked with H2SO4 at different concentrations i.e. 100, 150, 300, 500 and 900 mg/l was used as mixing and curing water. 2.5 Experimental program The influence of H2SO4 at different concentrations was studied when the H2SO4 is spiked with deionised water. Test samples are compared with the control samples. This comparison may not be possible in case of control samples made with locally available potable water since it varies in chemical composition from place to place. With the above reason, H2SO4 was mixed with deionised water as per the dosage mentioned above. This water is used for preparation of samples for setting times (initial & final) of BC and its concrete namely BCC. The IS mix design is adopted for M20 grade concrete mix. For determining the initial and final setting times of cement, Vicat apparatus is used and to assess the compressive strength, 30 cubes of size 150x150x150mm for concrete were cast and tested.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1 Effect on setting times of Blended Cement (BC) The effect of H2SO4 on initial and final setting times is shown in Table 2, from which it is observed that both initial and final setting times got retarded with increase in H2SO4 concentration in deionised water. IS 456-2000 (Clause 5.4.1.3) stipulates that, when the difference in setting time(s) is less than 30 minutes, the change is considered to be negligible or insignificant and if it is more than 30 minutes, the change is considered to be significant. From the experimentation work it was observed that, when the H2SO4 concentration exceeded 300 mg/l, the retardation for initial and final setting times was significant (i.e., more than 30 minutes). When sulphuric acid content is 900 mg/l (Maximum), initial setting time was 188 minutes which is 55 minutes more than that of control mix. Similarly a difference of 83 minutes was observed in the case of final setting time.

Although there is decrease in the compressive strength of concrete cubes of all age samples, significant decrease is observed at a concentration of 300 mg/l. The rate of decrease in compressive strength also gradually increases with increase in the concentration of the H2SO4. When H2SO4 concentration is maximum, i.e., 900 mg/l, the decrease in compressive strength is 21.67% for 28 day concrete and 22.41% for 90 day concrete respectively, when compared with that of cubes prepared with the deionised water (control test sample). Pacheco-Torgal F and Said Jalali [7] studied the effect of sulphuric acid resistance on plain, polymer modified and fly ash cement concretes. Samples prepared by them were exposed to sulphuric acid after 28 days of curing. The results revealed that the use of polymers impregnation enhances chemical resistance of concrete considerably. It was also observed that the fly ash cement concrete shown a noteworthy resistance vis-a-vis the plain concrete. Similar observations were also noticed in the present experimental investigation.

The regression models are given below. fck28 = 23.73 - 0.006 × C -------------------Equation (1) Fck90 = 27 - 0.006 × C ----------------------- Equation (2) Where, fck28 = 28 day compressive strength of BCC in MPa Fck90 = 90 day compressive strength of BCC in MPa C = Concentration of H2SO4 in mixing water in mg/l The coefficient of co-relation factor for regression equations 1 and 2 is 0.972 and 0.965 respectively. The performance of regression models is presented in table 4. From this table the ratios between experimental compressive strength value and the value predicted by the regression model are about 0.92 to 1.03. This implies the proposed models made good agreement with experimental values.

CONCLUSIONS The following conclusions were made from the experimental work. 1. Both initial and final setting times of BC got retarded with an increase in sulphuric acid concentration in deionised water. 2. The retardation for initial and final setting times is significant (i.e., more than 30 minutes), when the acid content exceeds 300 mg/l. 3. Continuous decrease in compressive strength BCC specimens prepared with H2SO4 acid solution is observed as the acid concentration increases till the maximum concentration (900 mg/l) tested. 4. Although there is decrease in the compressive strength of concrete cubes of all samples, significant decrease is observed only from concentration of 300 mg/l. The rate of decrease in compressive strength also gradually increases with the increase in the concentration of the H2SO4. 5. The proposed regression models shown good performance to predict the compressive strength. REFERENCES [1] W. Kejin, E. N. Daniel, and A. N.
