Experiment on long term seepage corrosion stability of plastic concrete

In order to evaluate long-term seepage stability and service life of plastic concrete that are made of bentonite, clay, cement, soil aggregate, water, super-plasticizer, etc., we studied incomplete or contain holes of plastic concrete's long-term seepage stability and service life. Specimens of plastic concrete were molded after many times of tests, and their compressive strength of 28 days was 1.25 MPa, and meet requirements impermeability grade was S1 which was test code for hydraulic concrete because water pressure measured was 0.2 MPa by step by step method. The preparation of plastic concrete permeability test required to a round-shaped specimen (top diameter is 175 mm, basal diameter is 185 mm, height is 150 mm). The studies showed that the features of plastic concrete made of clay and bentonite had a low-intensity, high impermeability and long service life which met the requirement of impervious wall of earth-rock fill dam. Thus, it can be used for embankment dam for seepage prevention.
