Introduction
The process of concreting monolithic rein-forced-concrete structures at the construction
site involves the delivery of concrete mixture from the factory by concrete mixer trucks (mixers); herewith, the quality of erected structures directly depends on preservation, uniformity and
workability of concrete mixture (rheological properties) during transportation, unloading and placing.
Analysis of publications
Uniformity of the mixture is conditioned upon the minimum required cohesion which rules out the possibility of mixture segregation and water separation. Workability is the ability of concrete mixture to take a predetermined shape relatively easily and fast, while retaining solidity and uniformity of concrete structure; it is determined by its viscosity at the moment of filling of timbering and the degree of plasticity, i.e. plasticity for being deformed without breaking of continuity.
The change in rheological properties of concrete mixture is significantly affected by transportation time of concrete mixture, as well as elevated temperature of the environment. This is especially important for self-compacting concretes, for which the use of vibration during placing is strictly prohibited and only controlled slight vibrating is allowed (local tapping or simple rodding in the relevant areas) [1].
The need to enhance the working life of concrete mixture determines the suitability of using the method of «late» introduction of additives («two-step mixing method»). The workability retention time can be prolonged by dosing the superplasticizer in portions. The number of portions of superplasticizer introduction is usually taken equal to two; herewith, there are two approaches to dosing: an introduction of another 0,2 % of cement weight over the initial super-plasticizer quantity after loss of mobility by concrete mixture, or separate introduction of superplasticizer during mixture preparation and immediately before placing into the structure [2-7].
Purpose and problem statement
The main objective of the reconstruction is to adapt the existing building on 144, Traktorostroiteley Avenue (Kharkiv) for the Administrative Service Center (TsPAU) with the appropriate set-up of main and auxiliary technical premises: the entrance lobby, the citizens reception hall (front-office), work-rooms (back office), archives rooms, premises for sanitary-and-amenity and medical services of the employees (undressing rooms, water closets, dining room, etc.).
The reconstruction of the building involves the following architectural and construction measures:
- dismantling of the existing partitions (except for the walls of staircases and elevator shafts) and erection of the new ones according to the developed technological planning solutions to ensure TsPAU operation, as well as sanitary and fire regulations;
- dismantling of curtain wall panels with erection of walls of gas-concrete blocks with arrangement of band glazing and cladding of facades with modern materials using parametric decorative glazing and ventilated facades with a protective screen made of ceramic granite tiles;
- dismantling of the existing floorings above the crawl space, in order to bring the floors of the semi-basement to a common level with arrangement of the floor construction on the ground;
- thermal modernization of the coating;
- arrangement of the roof boiler-room.
The building under reconstruction is the former «Consumer Services Centre» («Dom Byta») according to TP 282-1-10 and is a 5-storey detached building with basement and technical storeys, with total dimensions within the axes of 42x30 m and an additional building from the side of the main entrance from the Northwestern side (Fig. 1, a).
Thermal modernization of the coating involves replacement of heat-insulating and waterproofing layers using effective heat-insulation materials with an increase in thermotechnical characteristics not lower than those required for thermal protection of buildings. The project also involves heat insulation of the basement walls to a depth of soil freezing. The floor level of the existing semi-basement within axes 1-3 is taken as the construction zero mark, which corresponds to an absolute mark of 171,65.
For articulation of the main entrance and arrangement of the entrance lobby, an additional glass building is arranged from the side of the Main facade. Revolving (rotating) doors with a built-in air curtain are provided as the filling of the door openings of the main entrance. On both sides, additional doors are provided for evacuation and entering of citizens with disabilities into the building. From the SouthEast side of the building (yard facade), two emergency exits are also provided.

The translucent structures (filling of window openings): aluminum profile with filling of triple-pane window with air medium of the chambers: 4i-16-4M1-16-4i. The design of the multiple glass unit of the entrance lobby: triple-pane window filled with dry air 6 ESG MF-20 Silicon-6-20 Silicon-4/4/1, where: 6 ESG MF is a 6 mm external tempered glass with power-saving and sun-protection features; 20 Silicon is an aluminum section of 20 mm width with double UV-proof sealing; 4/4/1 is internal triplex glass consisting of two glasses with 4 mm thickness each.
The foundations are the existing precast reinforced-concrete ones. The frame consists of the existing reinforced-concrete columns and cross-beams under II-04 series. Reinforced-concrete columns were strengthened in two ways: the edge columns along the perimeter of the building were strengthened with metal casing and covered with plaster; and the middle columns, after strengthening with metal casing, were further concreted with the use of self-compacting concrete placed into timbering.
Technological sequence of works on plastering of the edge columns.
1) Column surface preparation.
Clean metal casings (l 100x8) mounted on the columns, and apply Ceresit CD30 with 1 mm thickness on them with a putty knife (amount of mixing water is according to instructions). The concrete of the columns should be primed with the solution of Ceresit CC81 emulsion with PTs II/A Sh-400R cement in the ratio of 2:1 by volume.
2) Execution of plastering works.
The first layer of plaster should be made of Ceresit CT29 polymer-cement putty with addition of Ceresit CC81 (composition: 10 kg of CT29 + 0,8 liter of CC81 + 2 liters of water) up to the level of the protruding metal plates which weld the casing strengthening angles. Install the identical corner angles for plastering works at a distance of 20 mm from the metal strengthening angles and make the second layer of Ceresit CT29 plaster. Technological sequence of works on further concreting of the middle columns.
Install the timbering around the column to the middle of its height; whereafter carry out concreting with the use of self-compacting concrete. After two-day curing of concrete in the timbering, remove the timbering from the concrete and reset the timbering for further concreting of the upper part of the column. After two-day curing of concrete of the upper part, remove the timbering from the concrete.
Floorings are the existing precast reinforced-concrete slabs of flooring, strengthened with monolithic reinforced-concrete slab of self-compacting concrete with 50 mm thickness. Technological sequence of performance of works on strengthening of precast reinforced-concrete floorings.
Clean and wash the flooring concrete surface with pressure water jet using Karcher installation according to SNiP 3.04.01-87 and DBN V.2.6-22-2001. Lay a grid of «Ekibar» AKBP-5-600 composite armoring with a pitch of 150x150 mm, with the provision of the protective layer from the top of the flooring slab of 15 mm using plastic clips. Apply Ceresit CD30 adhesion coating in two layers with a total thickness of 2 mm (consumption of 5 kg/m2) on a slightly damp surface of the concrete, in order to ensure the adhesive strength of the fresh layer of concrete with the base of not less than 1,7 MPa. Place self-compacting concrete with
50 mm thickness, not later than 60 min from the moment of the adhesive coat application.
Concrete composition:
- PTs II/A-Sh-400R cement - 500 kg;
- crushed stone with 5-10 mm fraction - 1,150 kg;
- granite screenings - 200 kg;
- sand - 600 kg;
- FK 59 superplasticizer additive, 1 % of cement weight - 5 kg;
- AV-1 multi-purpose fiber - 0,5 kg;
- mixing water - 250 liters.
The designed partitions are made of gypsum plasterboards by KNAUF frame, of ceramic bricks in wet and technical premises, glazed ones are of aluminum profile with reinforced glass filling. Flights of stairways are the existing reinforced-concrete ones.
Doors: external ones are glazed, made of aluminum profile with filling of multiple glass unit; internal ones are glazed, made of aluminum profile with filling of reinforced glass, fire-resisting metal ones. Floors are made of ceramic tiles and linoleum. Interior finish of walls and partitions is made of ceramic tiles; painting is with aqueous emulsion inks. Ceilings are of Armstrong type, gypsum plasterboard / moisture-resistant gypsum board by KNAUF frame. Strengthening of the existing precast reinforced-concrete slabs of the flooring was
carried out using self-compacting concrete delivered by concrete mixer trucks from the site of reinforced-concrete products of «Zhilstroy-2» Additional Liability Company. Transportation of concrete mixture was carried out during 60-90 minutes at the air temperature of approximately 27-29 °C. As a result, the concrete mixture having, during preparation, the flow of cone of approximately 67-70 cm was losing the necessary mobility.
The aim of the conducted laboratory and pilot works is to ensure retaining of the rheological properties of self-compacting concrete over time. We set a task to study the effect of two-stage introduction of superplasticizer additive on the rheological properties of self-compacting concrete. The studies were conducted in the laboratory of the site of reinforced-concrete products of «Zhilstroy-2» Additional Liability Company in Kharkov.
In the course of the laboratory tests, the possibility of separate introduction of the superplasticizer (SP) additive was checked, in order to ensure preservation of self-compacting concrete mixture when it is delivered by concrete mixer trucks from the concrete mixing station to the point of placing to strengthen the columns of the building under reconstruction (Fig. 2).

During the concrete mixture preparation, 60 and 70 % of the required amount of SP additive were introduced with 88 % of mixing water, in order to provide cone slump of 20 cm to ensure mixing during transportation. The rest of mixing water (12 %) and SP additive (40 and 30 %, respectively) were introduced after 1,5 hours, in order to compare preservation with the parameters of the composition prepared directly at the concrete mixing station (the test composition). The test composition was placed into the mould after 1,5 hours of curing, simulating the delivery to the construction site.
The laboratory tests showed that, for all three compositions, the flow of cone was 680 mm, obstacle crossing ability was 0,92, and the time of flowing through a V-shaped funnel is 4-5 sec. The maximum compressive strength at the age of 3 and 28 days was shown by the composition with introduction of 60 and 40 % of SP, respectively; and the minimum compressive strength was shown by the test composition.
Herewith, the amount of mixing water in case of two-stage SP introduction did not exceed the test composition, and was even less by 3-5 %.
Conclusions
The obtained results allowed concreting of strengthening for the columns of the 1st storey of the 5-storey building (Fig. 2). Herewith, 40 % of SP additive together with 12% of mixing water were introduced directly into the concrete mixer truck at the moment of its arrival to the construction site, with subsequent agitation of concrete mixture during 3-4 min (Fig. 2, a). Concreting of strengthening for the columns of the 1st storey having height of about 10 m was carried out with the use of timbering in two stages (Fig. 2, b, c).
