Despite the fact that in most operating conditions, concrete components, compaction and curing affect the performance of concrete, but premature failure of concrete structures due to problems with the durability of concrete structures also occurs a lot. Due to the lack of information on the effect of type and strength of aggregates on the durability of self-compacting concrete, in this article, using the tests of "friction transfer" and "drilled core" to investigate the effect of strength of different aggregates on the reliability of concrete Self-compacting has been exposed to sodium sulfate. 9 types of stones with the names of travertine, granite, basalt, andesite, marble, green stone tuff, crystal green tuff, rhyolite and limestone have been used to make self-compacting concretes. Compressive strength tests of self-compacting concretes cured with water and sodium sulfate solution were performed at ages 7, 14 and 28. The results showed that the volume change of rocks with higher water absorption percentage was less and there is a direct relationship between the compressive strength of self-compacting concretes treated in water and sodium sulfate solution with the strength of the parent rock. We also see an increase in compressive strength of self-compacting concrete placed in sodium sulfate solution at a young age compared to samples placed in water. There is also a linear relationship with a high correlation coefficient between the results of the friction transfer test and the core correction test. Compressive strength of crystalline green tuff, green tuff, andesite, rhyolite, travertine, lime, marble, granite and basalt are 31.76, 33.12, 39.92, 43.43, 48.41, 51/97, 59.66, 62.17 and 75.41 Mpa, respectively. With increasing compressive strength, the results of friction transfer test also increased so that for the mentioned rocks are equal to 132.4, 146.9, 155.9, 168, 176.3, 185.3, 189.8, 5 / 198 and 9/207 Nm.

Given the damages to concrete structures caused by different factors, some materials should be used to repair and strengthen them. In general, cement-based mortars are used to repair concrete structures. The shrinkage and inappropriate compaction of repair mortars can reduce the bond strength between mortar and concrete substrate. the shrinkage is an important problem that has an adverse effect on the adhesion between repair mortar and concrete substrate. The shrinkage can create tensile stress inside mortars, leading to cracking due to their low tensile strength. The mortar-substrate interface is of great importance since the improper compaction can create fine pores and lower the bond strength.The suitable compaction of repair mortar while applying it on the concrete substrate is an effective factor in increasing the adhesion between the mortar and concrete. The mortar-substrate interface is of great importance since the improper compaction can create fine pores and lower the bond strength. Therefore, in this study, different prestresses were imposed on repair mortar to evaluate their effects on the shear and tensile bond strength between repair mortar and concrete substrate using friction-transfer and pull-off tests. The role of curing in reducing the shrinkage of mortars was also evaluated. The semi-destructive friction-transfer and pull-off tests were then used to assess the in-situ compressive strength of cement-based mortars. By calculating the correlation coefficient and plotting the calibration curves, relationships were provided to convert the measurements obtained from the semi-destructive tests to the compressive strength of the mortars. Eventually, the cracks and stresses that appeared in the specimens were presented using finite element ABAQUS software. The obtained results indicated the effect of prestress on increasing the shear and tensile bond strength between the concrete substrate and repair layers. Moreover, a high correlation coefficient was found between the measurements of the in-situ and laboratory tests. A good agreement was also observed between the finite element modeling and the experimental results. In some researches, friction transfer and pull-off tests have been used to compare the compressive strength of fiber-reinforced mortars and polymer-modified mortars with the results of the above tests, which has resulted in a very high correlation coefficient between the results.Imposing a prestress of 0.5 kg/cm2 resulted in an increase of 30.1% and 31.4%, respectively, in the shear and tensile bond strength between the repair mortar and the concrete substrate at the age of 90 days. Imposing a prestress of 0.1 kg/cm2 resulted in an increase by 7.5% and 5.8%, respectively, in the shear and tensile bond strength between the repair mortar and the concrete substrate at the age of 90 days. Keeping the specimen in the free space resulted in 64% more shrinkage compared to the one cured in water. The friction-transfer and pull-off test results had a correlation coefficient of more than 0.98 with the repair mortar's compressive strength. Therefore, these tests can be used to evaluate the in-situ compressive strength of mortars. The compressive strength of repair mortar can be calculated by substituting x for the friction-transfer and pull-off test results, respectively, in the equations y=10x-0.805 and y=17.32x+1.83.

Today, the use of different kinds of polymer, as the modifier of some repair mortars properties, is growing. Given the damages to concrete structures, it is necessary to use appropriate repair layers. In concrete structures, concrete and steel are connected, and in most cases, repair layers are applied in direct connections with steel. Therefore, in this research, the shear and tensile bond strength between steel and styrene-butadiene rubber polymer modified mortars was measured using semi-destructive friction-transfer and pull-off tests. In the "pull-off" test, to determine the bond between the mortar and the steel, a core with a 50mm diameter and is first mounted on the test surface using a diamond drill bit and a metal cylinder with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 20 mm is attached to the partial core. Then, the tensile force is applied to the cylinder by means of a "pull-off" device to make the partial core fail. To measure adhesion with friction transfer method, first a small core was created from the mortar surface to the steel substrate surface using the coring machine. Thereafter, the friction transfer metal device was fixed onto the core and the torsional moment was applied using a typical torque wrench in order to cause failure in the core. Moreover, the effect of polymer on the shrinkage of mortar was evaluated. Shrinkage is one of the important problems that negatively affects the adhesion of repair mortar and steel. Due to the fact that hydrated cement paste has capillary pores that contain some water, shrinkage occurs after this moisture leaves the pores. The effect of polymer on mortars was investigated by taking images with a scanning electron microscope and using the “Image-J” and “Origin” software programs. Afterward, in order to evaluate the mechanical properties of mortars, the in-situ compressive and flexural strengths of the mortars were determined, and the calibration curves were plotted by comparing them with standard laboratory tests. Then, relationships were proposed to convert the results of in-situ tests to the compressive and flexural strength of the polymer modified mortars. Eventually, the cracks and stresses that appeared in the mortars were provided using ABAQUS software. The obtained results indicated the effect of polymer in reducing the shrinkage of mortars and increasing the shear and tensile bond strength between steel and mortar, along with a high correlation coefficient between the measurements in the in-situ and laboratory tests. Comparing the modified mortars with polymer and ordinary mortar, it is observed that at the age of 90 days, adding 10, 15 and 20% of SBR reduced the amount of shrinkage to 35.3%, 4.2% and 45.4%, respectively. Addition of styrene butadiene rubber to the repair mortar increased the shear bond strength obtained from the "friction transfer" test between the mortar and steel at the ages of 7, 42 and 90 days by 44.4, 178.2 and 303.1%, respectively. Adding SBR to the repair mortar increased the tensile strength of the "pull-off" test between the mortar and the steel at the ages of 7, 42 and 90 days by 58.7, 183.4 and 291.2%, respectively. A good agreement was also observed between the numerical and experimental results.

Considering the differences that exist between the laboratory and site conditions, the in-situ estimation of bond strength of repair mortars is important. Therefore, in this paper, the results obtained from the use of two methods, “Friction-transfer” and “Pull-off”, for measuring the shear and tensile bond strength of repair mortars applied to substrate concrete, are presented. Since the drying shrinkage of the repair mortar has considerable effect on their adhesion, the shrinkage of the mortars is considered. In order to increase the accuracy of the measured bond strength of the repair mortars, substrate concrete with saw cut surface was employed to minimize the interferences occurring between the pure adhesion and the mechanical keying effects of the rough surfaces. The age of the substrate concrete at the time of the application of repair mortar was 90 days and after curing under different conditions, the repair/concrete bond strength was measured at different ages. For measuring the shrinkages of the repair mortars, nine standard shrinkage samples were prepared and their shrinkages were measured. Regarding the effect of the curing process on the drying shrinkage of the repair mortars, two different curing systems of “covering with wet hessian and polythene sheet” and “stored in the laboratory”, for 7 and 90 days were considered. The results tend to show that, the amount of the aggregates and the associated cement paste have substantial effects the shrinkage of the repair mortars. It was also seen that the shrinkage causes reduction on the shear and tensile bond strength at the repair/concrete interface. Furthermore, the reduction of the shear bond strength seemed to be slightly more than the corresponding reduction of the tensile bond strength. A very high correlation was also observed between the related shear and tensile bond strength of the repair mortars.

The adhesion between the mortar and the substrate concrete depends on a number of factors including shrinkage, curing and use of modifying polymers. The methods of "Friction-transfer" and "Pull-off" are used to determine the mortar/concrete bond strength. The mortars used contained 10%, 15% and 20% styrene butadiene polymer, (related to cement weight). The results are compared with mortar with no added polymer. Three types of curing were employed. Mortars shrinkage was also investigated. The results tend to show the high impact of the polymer on the adhesion and shrinkage of the mortar. It was also seen that, a high correlation coefficient existed between the corresponding "Friction-transfer" and "Pull-off" results.

Despite the fact that self-compacting concrete has been used for many years, until now, no-one has carried out any research on the strengthening eect of the weight of concrete at any level. For this reason, employing concrete columns made out of dierent mixes of selfcompacting concrete, a research is conducted. In order to measure the concrete strength at any level, the in-situ friction-transfer method was used. Having examined over 50 mix designs, nine mixes were proved to be self-compacting concrete and, therefore, were used for this investigation. In order to see the eect of the weight of the concrete above the level considered, concrete columns were cast using self-compacting concrete without giving any form of compaction. At specied ages, the hardened concrete columns were cut at 150 mm height intervals. Using the Friction-transfer method, the strengths of concrete at dierent levels were obtained. In the friction-transfer method, a 50 mm diameter partial core is made using a diamond tipped coring drill. A metallic gripping device is xed on top of this partial core by fastening its side bolts, and torsional moment is applied to the partial core via this gripping device by hand. The applied torsional moment is gradually increased until the partial core is failed, and the maximum (failure) torsional moment is recorded. Using the existing calibration graphs, the ultimate (failure) torsion is converted to the compressive strength of the concrete tested. The results show that the weight of the concrete situated above any level has a positive eect on the strength of the concrete at that level. In addition to the comparison of the obtained results with the respective results of ordinary concrete, the eect of changes in the llers, segregation and aggregate grading, on the strength of self-compacting concrete, is also studied.
