Abstract
Elastic modulus and compressive strength are the most valued material properties
of concrete in structural engineering. These properties are commonly measured because
of their significance in design, quality control and quality assurance. The purpose of this
research is to evaluate the material properties of hardened concrete in drilled shaft
foundation for the replacement of the North Kahana Stream Bridge. Generally, molded
test specimens are indicative of the actual properties of concrete in structures. However,
for the purpose of investigating the use of self-consolidating concrete with locally
available aggregates in drilled shafts, correlations between molded specimens and cores
from test drilled shafts were examined to determine the in-place material properties of
concrete. The results of this research are intended to assist in the study of SCC use in
Hawaii, in comparison with conventional concrete.
A series of tests and analyses were performed to calculate the dynamic and static
moduli of elasticity and compressive strength of concrete in one conventional concrete
drilled shaft and two SCC drilled shafts. Based on the results, it was determined that the
SCC drilled shafts have higher and more preferable material properties of hardened
concrete than the drilled shaft constructed with conventional concrete. There was also
less inconsistency observed in the SCC data to which less irregularity in concrete
performance could be attributed. It was concluded that the SCC and conventional
concrete mixture designs were both recommendable for use in the North Kahana Stream
Bridge drilled shaft construction.

1 Introduction
1.1 Objective
The objective of this research was to determine the material properties of concrete
in trial drilled shafts that were constructed to evaluate the proposed concrete mixture
designs for the drilled shaft foundation of the new North Kahana Stream Bridge. The
overall project intends to study and develop specifications and mix design guidelines for
the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in Hawaii. SCC and conventional concrete
mix designs were compared by investigating placement and post-placement performance.
This research focuses on analyzing the material properties of the hardened concrete,
namely the dynamic modulus of elasticity, static modulus of elasticity and compressive
strength. Field-cured test cylinders and test shaft cores were tested and correlated to
indicate the in-place properties of concrete in the drilled shafts.
1.2 Literature Review
1.2.1 Concrete Material Properties
Material properties are significant in evaluating the performance of concrete
structures. The most common parameters used in describing concrete are compressive
strength and elastic modulus.
Compressive strength, fc, is accepted as the general measure of overall concrete
strength. Molded test cylinders that are cured similar to the structural element are
typically used to estimate the in-place strength of concrete. However, because it is
difficult to recreate the same curing conditions in the structure for the molded specimens,
-
2
samples may be obtained from the existing structure and tested for strength. The strength
determined from structure cores are representative of the in-place strength, with some
uncertainties. Compressive strength is not an absolute property, and test results are
dependent on several factors such as size, shape, aspect ratio, moisture condition, age at
testing, and others.
ASTM C 39/C 39M provides the standard test method for compressive strength of
cylindrical concrete specimens. The standard molded cylinder size is 6 inches in diameter
by 12 inches long. The measured compressive strength is controlled by the weakest part
of the specimen, and theoretically, smaller specimens are less probable to have large
defects. Therefore, as specimen size decreases, the measured compressive strength is
generally expected to increase. For higher strength concrete, size has a greater influence
in the measured strength.
Figure 1 Relationship between compressive strength and l/d ratio (Price, 1951)
-

The standard length-diameter (l/d) ratio of test specimens is 2. As illustrated in
Figure 1, compression tests yield higher strengths for smaller l/d ratio specimens with the
same diameter. This is attributed to the restraint provided by friction between the load
frame and the test specimen at the ends of the cylinder. This friction restricts diametric
expansion at the specimen ends, and will have a greater influence on short specimens.
The static modulus of elasticity, Ec, is approximately proportional to the square
root of the compressive strength. For concrete with strength up to 6000 psi, Ec can be
calculated in psi by the following equation (ACI 318, 2008).
'33 5.1 cc fwE (1)
where w = concrete unit weight, lb/ft3
fc = compressive strength, psi
For high strength concrete with strengths between 6000 psi and 12000 psi, ACI
Committee 363 recommends the following equation that is valid for strengths ranging
from 3000 to 12000 psi (ACI 363, 1992).
6100.1'000,40 cc fE (2)
The ACI equations typically overestimate the actual static modulus of elasticity of
concrete made using Hawaiian aggregates. Newtson and Pham (2001) developed an
equation that estimates Ec for concrete made with Hawaiian aggregates.
Ec = 26.73w1.71( fc )0.378 (3)
-

The static modulus of elasticity can also be measured by testing cylindrical
specimens according to the standard compressive test method, ASTM C 469. This
property is simply the stress to strain ratio of concrete, during the initial elastic response.
Another elastic property of concrete that is not as commonly quantified is the
dynamic modulus of elasticity. The dynamic modulus is an intrinsic property that is
mainly used as a measure of deterioration in concrete specimens. ASTM C 215 is a
nondestructive standard method for measuring the fundamental frequencies of concrete,
which is used to calculate the dynamic modulus. This property is approximately equal to
the initial tangent modulus in the stress-strain curve, shown in Figure 2, and is therefore
greater than the static modulus of elasticity.

1.2.2 Self-Consolidating Concrete in Drilled Shaft Construction
A drilled shaft is a reinforced concrete foundation constructed in a drilled hole.
Drilled shafts are designed to resist vertical and lateral loads, and overturning moment.
Because of dense reinforcing cages required by design, passing ability, flowability and
-

resistance to segregation are desirable characteristics of fresh concrete for use in drilled
shafts. Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) possesses these qualitiesit flows freely
without mechanical vibration and, ideally, remains homogeneous. Several research
programs have been conducted to investigate the use of SCC in drilled shafts, and it has
been concluded that SCC is a viable material in this application. In this research, the
material properties of SCC drilled shafts are evaluated as well as a conventional concrete
drilled shaft.
1.3 North Kahana Stream Bridge Replacement
This research project encompasses the analysis of three test drilled shafts that
were built to investigate the proposed SCC mixture design, compared to conventional
concrete, for the North Kahana Bridge drilled shaft construction.
The use of SCC in drilled shafts has been increasingly popular in many parts of
the world, but because of the high angularity and high absorption of Hawaiian
aggregates, further investigation is needed for local application.
The test shafts are approximately 59 inches in diameter and 160 feet deep. Two
test shafts were made of SCC and one was made using conventional concrete. The
mixture designs and the properties of the design fresh concrete are given in Table 1.
Adjustments to water content were made during field placement to meet the desired
workability.

2 Test Methods
2.1 Test Specimens
For each test shaft, the concrete was poured in multiple batches, and standard
sized test cylinders were made from each batch. Cores were later obtained throughout the
depth of the shafts for testing.
2.1.1 Test Cylinders
Figure 3 illustrates the size reduction of the test cylinders as required by the test
methods. The static modulus of elasticity and 28-day strength were determined by testing
two or more standard sized test cylinders.
Figure 3 Test cylinder specimen size reduction
The full size test cylinders were then trimmed by approximately 1 from the top
and bottom for segregation analysis (D. Johnson, 2010), leaving 6x10 test cylinders.
The 6x10 cylinders were tested to acquire the dynamic modulus of elasticity and static
modulus of elasticity of the field-cured concrete. Some were then selected to be cored
-
8
into 2.22 diameter cores. The 2.22x10 cores were again tested for dynamic modulus,
then cut into approximately 5 lengths with a wet saw. The 2.22x5 test cylinder cores
and the remaining 6x10 test cylinders were loaded to failure to determine the
compressive strength. Every specimen tested was labeled with its trial shaft name and
batch number.
2.1.2 Test Shaft Cores
Two 2-3/8 inch diameter cores were obtained along the full depth of each test
shaft. The core pieces were labeled according to the test shaft name and location depth
and stored in boxes as shown in Figure 4.
By means of visual inspection, core samples were selected to be tested due to
observed defects, blemishes, cavities, poor recovery, segregation and other damages.
Core samples were also collected for testing at 20-foot intervals throughout the depth of
each shaft. The samples with varying lengths were cut at each end with a wet saw and
tested for dynamic modulus. The samples were then cut into 5 lengths and crushed to
determine strength. Each core sample was labeled with the mix group name and location
depth. Comprehensive descriptions of the tests are given in the following sections.

2.2 Fundamental Longitudinal Frequency Test
Fundamental frequency tests were performed as described in ASTM C 215 for the
purpose of determining the dynamic modulus of elasticity of the concrete specimens. In
this research, the impact resonance method was used to measure the longitudinal
frequencies of the samples.
The apparatus for this test method consists of the following components:
Impact hammer
Accelerometer
Signal Analyzer dsp Technology SigLab Model 20-22A
Amplifier PCB Piezotronics Model 482A16
Computer with SigLab with Matlab software (using vna application)
Specimen Support Frame

Figure 6 Specimen test setup
For every specimen, the mass in kilograms was measured as well as the average
length and diameter in inches, converted to meters. The specimen was marked at mid-
length to serve as a guide for mounting. The specimen was mounted in the support frame,
as illustrated in Figure 6, where free vibration in the longitudinal direction was allowed.
The accelerometer was then attached at the approximate center of the bottom end of the
specimen. Detailed instructions for starting up and operating the analyzer are provided in
Appendix B. Using the impact hammer, the specimen was tapped at the center of its top
end, and the response was analyzed by the computer setup. This process was repeated
-
11
three times and the average longitudinal frequency detected by the analyzer was recorded
as well as the quality, Q, of the test. The dynamic modulus of elasticity, Ed, was
calculated in Pascals according to the equation below and was converted to kilo pounds
per square inch.

2.3 Static Modulus of Elasticity Test
The 6x10 test cylinders were tested for static modulus of elasticity in
compression, with ASTM C 469 as a standard guide. The test was performed on a
RIEHLE Universal Test Frame using a Humboldt compressometer with a dial gauge,
shown in Figure 7. The compressometer is designed for testing full size, 6x12
cylinders, but due to the shorter length of the specimen, the specimen was not capped
before testing. Capping the specimen typically is desired when applying axial load for
perpendicularity and planeness, but because the ends of the cylinders were saw-cut,
uncapped testing was acceptable. The diameter of the specimen was verified by
averaging two diameters measured perpendicular to each other, with the use of a tape
measure.

Figure 7 Compression test machine; compressometer
Prior compressive strength testing of full size cylinders from each mix group
determined the average ultimate load, Pult. The compressometer was attached to the
specimen and was approximately centered on the testing machine. The specimen was
loaded to 10% and 40% of Pult, and the measured displacement at each loading point was
recorded. This process was performed three times, and the first data set was discarded.
The displacement is recorded in ten thousandths of an inch (0.0001).
The compressive stresses, 1 and 2, were calculated by dividing 0.10Pult and
0.40Pult by the cross-sectional area of the specimen. The longitudinal strain was
determined by the formula: n = 0.0001xn / 2Lg, where xn was the measured displacement
of the gauge (n = 1, 2), and Lg = 8 was the original length of the gauge. The measured xn
-
13
was twice the actual specimen displacement. The static modulus of elasticity was
calculated using the following formula:
12
12
cE
where Ec = static modulus of elasticity, psi
2 = stress corresponding to 40% of ultimate load, psi
1 = stress corresponding to 10% of ultimate load, psi
2 = longitudinal strain produced by 2
1 = longitudinal strain produced by 1
2.4 Compressive Strength Test
The compressive strength was determined by testing the 6x10 test cylinders,
2.22x5 test cylinder cores and 2.38x5 trial shaft cores. Prior to testing, the diameter,
length and mass of each specimen were remeasured, and the cross-sectional area and unit
weight were calculated. The specimens were then capped in compliance with ASTM C
617. Each specimen was placed and centered on the compression machine and loaded at a
rate of 0.40 revolutions per minute until failure. The maximum load carried by the
specimen was recorded, and the compressive strength, fc, was calculated by dividing the
failure load by the specimen cross-sectional area.

4 Data Analysis and Discussion
4.1 Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity
ASTM C 215 poses a limitation on the dimensional ratio of the specimen, stating
that it is preferable to have an aspect ratio between 3 and 5, and must be at least 2.
However, in this research, this requirement was not satisfied by the available 6x10 test
cylinders. All of the cores, however, were tested before sizing down to 5 lengths and
generally fulfilled the desired aspect ratio.
-
18
Another reason why the core specimens were tested with long lengths, and not
after being trimmed to 5 inches, was because of the sensitivity of the accelerometer.
Testing a 5-inch long specimen yielded a longitudinal frequency greater than 10,000 Hz.
At this point, the sensors sensitivity had begun to deviate, generating unreliable results.
There were no adjustments made to the calculated dynamic moduli presented in
Tables 2 and 3. As shown in Table 7, the average dynamic moduli from the 2.22x10
test cylinder cores are greater than the average values from the 6x10 test cylinders by
approximately 4.8%. Also given in Table 7 are the average l/d ratios of the specimens for
each mix group. The 6x10 test cylinder specimens do not satisfy the 1/d ratio limitation
of 2, having an overall average of 1.63. The overall average aspect ratio of the 2.22x10
test cylinder cores is 4.39, which falls within the preferred range of 3 to 5. Therefore, the
calculated dynamic moduli from the test cylinder cores are assumed to be more reliable.
As previously seen in Figure 4, the test shaft cores were broken up into varied
lengths, and were therefore tested with different lengths after saw-cutting the ends. The
varying aspect ratios of these specimens generally fulfilled the l/d ratio limit. Unlike the
test cylinder results, where there is no pattern among the different batches, the dynamic
modulus from the test shaft increases with depth, which can be seen in Appendix A. This
observation is expected because the material properties of concrete are presumably better
at the bottom of the structure due to possible segregation, bleeding, and varying curing
conditions. As shown in Tables 2 and 3, the SCC has a greater dynamic modulus of
elasticity than the conventional concrete. Also, as indicated in Table 7, the percentage
difference between the Ed results from test cylinders and their cores show a larger
inconsistency for the LTC mixture.

4.2 Static Modulus of Elasticity
The in-place static modulus was estimated based on the measured static moduli
from the test cylinders. The average Ec from the 6x10 cylinders were compared with
the values from the full size cylinders to confirm the precision of the results. Table 8 lists
the percentage difference between the Ec of the standard test cylinders and the 6x10
cylinders. Because only minor differences were observed in the averages, the measured
Ec of the 6x10 cylinders were considered acceptable.
The dynamic and static moduli of elasticity of concrete are intrinsic properties,
thus it was presumed that the in-place static modulus can be estimated based on the
static-to-dynamic modulus ratio determined from the field-cured test cylinders. Because
it was deduced in the previous section that the measured dynamic moduli from the test
cylinder cores were more accurate, those values were used in the ratio calculations. The
equation below shows how the in-place static modulus was computed.

The Ec / Ed ratios of the test cylinders and the averages of the approximated in-
place Ec are also presented in Table 8. The measured in-place Ec were found to be on the
low to mid-range of the typical static modulus of concrete.

4.3 Compressive Strength
Because the specimens available were not of standard size, the calculated
compressive strengths derived from the standard test method need to be adjusted for
several factors. ACI 214.4R presents correction factors for adjusting core strengths to
equivalent in-place strengths. However, due to conditions unique to this research,
correction factors were generated in relation to the material properties determined from
the test cylinders. The ratios between the compressive strengths of the 6x10 and 6x12
test cylinders, as well as between the 2.2x5 and 6x12, are shown in Table 9. The
compressive strengths of the test cylinders and test cylinder cores were adjusted
according to the fc ratios, shown in Table A 18 in Appendix A.

The correction factors, F, for determining the in-place strengths were computed
by linearly interpolating between the fc ratios based on the average l/d ratios of the
specimens. For each mix group, the correction factor, which was assumed to include
adjustments for l/d ratio, diameter and drilling damage, was calculated, also shown in
Table 9. Additionally, a correction factor for dried specimens of 0.96 was used to adjust
for moisture content as suggested by ACI 214.4R. To estimate the in-place compressive
strength, the raw compressive strength of the test shaft core was multiplied by the
correction factor that accounts for l/d ratio, diameter and drilling damage, as well as the
correction for moisture content. The calculated in-place strengths are listed in Table 10.
The in-place strengths of the test shafts calculated in this research were adjusted
relative to the 28-day strength of the full size cylinders. Concrete gains strength as it
hydrates, and after 28 days, a considerable amount of hydration has already occurred.
Under ideal conditions, concrete should continue to strengthen as it ages, but
theoretically, over 90% of its strength is achieved in 28 days. The specimens were tested
-
22
between the ages 7 to 12 months. As shown in Figure 9, no substantial strength gain is
believed to occur after 28 days, thus the in-place strengths were not adjusted for age.
Figure 9 Typical strength-gain curve (University of Memphis, 2010)
Design equation values for the static modulus were also calculated. The average
in-place compressive strengths for all mixture groups were greater than 6000 psi, hence
the ACI Committee 363 equation for high strength concrete was used to predict values
for Ec. The Ec values based on the equation derived by Newtson and Pham (2001) were
also computed. Table 10 shows the predicted static moduli as well as the average unit
weight of each mixture group.

It can be noted that the static moduli predicted by Newtson and Pham are
significantly lower than the ACI 363 predictions. The ACI committee 363 high strength
equation for Ec is expected to overestimate the static moduli. Also, Ec of concrete is
influenced by the strength of aggregate. Because similar aggregates were used by
Newtson and Pham and in this research, their equation was expected to give better
approximations of Ec.
The unit weights were calculated as required by the Newtson and Pham equation
for Ec. It can be observed that the actual unit weight of the LTC shaft is slightly less than
the design unit weight presented in Table 1. As seen in Tables A 15-17 in Appendix A, w
deviates along the depth of the test shafts, suggesting nonuniformity of concrete.
4.4 In-Place Material Properties
Table 11 summarizes the average material properties calculated for each mixture
group. As seen in the table, the TSS trial shaft had the highest strength and highest elastic
moduli. On the other hand, the LTC trial shaft had the lowest material properties. This
could be due to poor placement of the concrete. Based on these results, it can be
concluded that the SCC mix design had better hardened concrete material properties than
the conventional concrete mix. Overall, the three test shafts demonstrated desirable
properties, and both the SCC and conventional concrete mix designs were feasible to be
used for the North Kahana bridge drilled shaft construction.

According to Figures 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18, the static modulus of elasticity was
greatly overestimated by the ACI 363 equation for high strength concrete. Particularly,
Figure 14 shows that the Ec values for the LTC test shaft were overestimated by up to
40%. Figures 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 reveal that the calculated in-place Ec was also
overestimated by the Newtson and Pham equation but with only 10% error. Newtson
and Pham gave a closer estimation of the in-place static modulus.
It is also possible that the experimental Ec were not accurate, considering that they
were estimated based on the dynamic modulus of elasticity. However, because the
measured Ec are close to the predictions by Newtson and Pham, these values were
deemed to be acceptable.

Figures 20 to 24 show comparisons between the experimental Ec values and the
ACI 363 and Newtson and Pham predictions. Figure 22, the comparison chart for the
LTC shaft, notably shows a larger difference between the predicted Ec and the calculated
in-place Ec. This is believed to be because the concrete in the LTC shaft has a smaller
unit weight compared to the two SCC shafts. The Ec curves according to Newtson and
Pham were calculated based on the average unit weights for each of the mixtures.
Majority of the plotted points lie under the predicted Ec curves.

The adjusted strengths were plotted against the location depth of each test shaft
core specimen to evaluate the change in strength along the depth of the shaft as shown in
Figures 25 to 29. A best fit linear trendline was drawn which reveals that the concrete at
the top of the test shaft had lower compressive strength, and the bottom of the shaft had
higher strength. This was expected because of the difference in curing effects at different
locations in the shafts, and possibly differences in density with depth. The equation of the
trendline represents an estimation of the strength of concrete at any location along the
depth of the test shaft. Table 12 shows the derived compressive strength equation as a
function of depth, z in feet, for each mix group.
Table 12 Compressive strength equations as a function of depth, z (ft)
Mix fc,ave (psi) fc(z) (psi)
TSS 7189 (fc,ave 395) + 5.1z LTS 6811 (fc,ave 743) + 12.0z LTC 6657 (fc,ave 929) + 12.7z SCC 7021 (fc,ave 530) + 7.3z All 6849 (fc,ave 635) + 8.7z
As observed from the slopes of the trendlines, the compressive strength varied
greatly down the depth of the shafts. In theory, core elevation has little to no effect on
high strength concrete because of little bleeding. However, this was not the case for the
test drilled shafts according to the research results. The strength at the top of the TSS
shaft was approximately 11% weaker than that at the bottom. The TSS shaft
demonstrated the least strength difference based on location, while the top and bottom
locations of the LTS and LTC shaft had a percentage difference of 24% and 26%
respectively. The combined SCC data resulted in a 15% strength difference, while all
data combined had 18% difference.

The increase in compressive strength is partially attributed to the increase
pressure with depth in the drilled shaft. High pressure reduces the size of the air bubbles
in concrete. This will result in higher density and consequent higher strength and
stiffness. As shown in the unit weight versus depth plots in Figures 30 to 34, the unit
weight of concrete increases with depth of the drilled shafts. Smaller air content results to
higher density, which in turn increases the compressive strength. The percentage
differences between the unit weights at the top and bottom of the test shafts for mix
groups TSS, LTS, LTC, SCC and All are 1.3%, 6.8%, 3.6%, 2.8% and 2.9%,
respectively.
For comparison purposes, the adjusted strengths of the test cylinders and test
cylinder cores were also plotted against the approximated locations in Figures 25 to 27.
During field placement, the tremie pipe method was used, making it difficult to determine
the exact location of each batch in the test shaft. For purposes of comparing concrete
strengths, it was assumed that the first pour filled the bottom of the shaft, and the last
batch filled the top. All the test cylinders underwent the same curing conditions, and as
seen in the charts, the cylinder strengths appeared to be independent of depth. However,
the test cylinder strengths of the LTC mix group are notably lower than the in-place
concrete strengths. Possible reasons for this and other result discrepancies are discussed
in the next section.

Experimental Ec versus depth plots are shown in Figures 35 to 39, including the
best fit trendlines. Table 13 presents the derived equations for static modulus of elasticity
as a function of depth, z in feet. Similar to the compressive strength, the static modulus of
elasticity in the test shafts increases with depth due to differing curing conditions and
increased concrete density. The percent difference of Ec between the top and bottom of
the shafts is roughly 15% for all the mix groups.

5 Error Analysis
There are a few factors in this research that might have caused inconsistencies in
the results. As previously mentioned, ASTM C 215, for determining the dynamic
modulus, advises against comparing results from specimens of different sizes. It also
recommends that specimens have a length-diameter ratio of at least 2. Because the test
cylinders in this research did not fulfill the l/d requirement, the test cylinder core dynamic
moduli were used along with the test cylinder static moduli to estimate the static modulus
of the test shaft cores. Because the difference between the dynamic moduli of the test
cylinders and their cores was only approximately 5%, this was assumed to be acceptable.
Also, the dynamic moduli of the test shaft cores were determined from specimens with
varying lengths, which again disregards the suggestion to not compare results between
different sized specimens. However, because the values fall within a reasonable range,
this was also accepted.
Another uncertainty arises from the fact that the compressive strength adjustments
were based on a small sample of data for full size cylinder strengths. Particularly for the
LTC full size cylinders, some data needed to be ignored to produce consistent results.
For the overall research, a few data had to be removed because of drastic
deviation from the rest of the results, causing a considerable change in the averages. The
test shafts also did not have equal numbers of test specimens, which could have had an
effect on calculating the averages of combined data. The results of this research are not
indicative of general SCC and conventional concrete performance in drilled shafts, but
rather are specific to the mixture designs and the test shafts investigated.

6 Conclusions and Recommendations
For the replacement of the North Kahana Bridge, three test drilled shafts were
constructed to evaluate the suggested concrete mixture designs to be used for the drilled
shafts supporting the bridge. A series of tests were performed on several molded test
cylinders and cores obtained from the shafts to determine the dynamic and static moduli
of elasticity and the compressive strength of the concrete. Using the results from the test
cylinders, correction factors were produced to convert the test shaft core results to
estimated in-place material properties of the concrete in the drilled shafts. Equations were
also developed to estimate the compressive strength of concrete at any particular location
in the test shafts.
The three test shafts were found to have satisfactory material properties, with an
overall average dynamic modulus of 4325 ksi, static modulus of 3564 ksi, and
compressive strength of 6849 psi. The concrete in the test shafts was determined to be
high strength concrete. However, ACI committee 363, which proposes as elastic modulus
equation for high strength concrete, greatly overestimates the static modulus in the test
shafts. Newtson and Pham (2001) give a better approximation of the static modulus with
the equation derived from concrete made with Hawaiian aggregates, which are
comparable to the materials used in this research.
It was found that the SCC shafts have higher and more desirable properties over
the LTC shaft. Also, there was less discrepancy between the results from the SCC shafts
compared to the conventional concrete shaft. This suggested better homogeneity along
the depth of the SCC shafts, meaning no significant segregation occurred, and possible
concrete placement problems for the LTC shaft. It was also found that the compressive
-

strength and static modulus of elasticity increased with the depth of the shafts. Based on
the results of this research, it was concluded that the SCC mixture design had better
hardened concrete material properties than the conventional concrete mixture.
For similar testing in the future, it is recommended to use the standard size
specimens as suggested by the standard test methods for more reliable results. It is also
preferable to have equal quantities of specimens when making comparisons between
different mix designs or drilled shafts.
