-_ 2012 Exhibit 51: Freezing and Rebar Spacing Study Appendix VIII-52 © 2012. Performance Improvement Exhibit 51 Freezing Failure and Rebar Spacing Sensitivity Study Background and Purpose A set of analyses was performed to quantify the propensity to propagate a laminar crack due to freezing of ice under the horizontal rebars. The study was done using a wide range of rebar densities, as this seems to be a key factor in the observed extent and therefore the propagation of the laminar cracks. Specifically, the issue is the density of rebars in 2 dimensions (not 3 dimensions) in the outer face (OF) rebar mat. There are locations, such as the top 20 feet of the walls where the nominal spacing ofthe horizontal rebars is 6". With laps and normal construction tolerances, this can lead to regions where there is less than 2" of clear spacing between the horizontal rebars. It was also observed that in some locations the vertical rebars were crowded on either side of the jacking bars in order to accommodate the hydraulic jacking heads used during the slip-forming operation.

An example of this is shown in the following figure. Figure 1: Tight rebar spacing around a hydraulic jacking head "Enabling Event" Considered In these models, the "enabling event" is a freezing failure in which the "sides" of the shoulders freeze first and trap moisture in the centers of the shoulders.

The "sides" of the shoulders include the regions where the shoulders transition into a wall thickness of 30", including the flute valleys and the transition

As the temperature drops outside, the shoulders freeze after the thinner parts of the wall (the flute "valleys" and the thinner midsections between the shoulders).

The shoulders insulate the OF rebar mat and delay changes in temperature in the middle of the shoulders. As the concrete near the outer surface of the building freezes, temperature and pore pressure gradients are formed in the concrete. Model Details ***

This serves as a calibration for the rebar density study and also serves to partially validate that this failure mode is at least plausible. Once a good calibration is achieved in the regions with dense rebar, additional models are run in regions with less rebar density to test the influence of the rebar density. Scenarios Considered Five sets of different rebar spacing scenarios were modeled. They inciuded: <6" -Tightly-spaced rebar with a pattern based on the figure above. In this scenario, the vertical rebars have a variable spacing from 2" to 6". The horizontal bars have a nominal spacing of 6" with laps. This results in a ciear spacing between bars of 0.6" to 4.6". 6" nominal-Both horizontal and vertical bars have a nominal 6" spacing, inciuding laps, which creates a clear spacing between bars of 2.6" in some locations and 4.6" in others. 6"H/12"V -Horizontal bars are spaced with the same nominal 6" inciuding laps. The vertical bars are given a nominal 12" spacing, inciuding laps. 12" nominal-Both horizontal and vertical bars have a nominal 12" spacing, inciuding laps. s>12" -Both horizontal and vertical bars are placed 12" from each other, but no laps are included and the bars are 8" from the boundary edges of the model, simulating a scenario with bars that are more sparse than 12". Page 4 © 2012. Performance Improvement International Page 4 of 6 Exh i bit 51 Results Summa y The results are summarized in the table below. The "rebar spacing" variable is summarized above and presented in the legend, and the "extent of cracking" is a scale from 0 to 3 that serves to simplify the extent of the damage observed in each model. The meaning of each level from 0 to 3 is described in the third legend following the table below. A level of "3" is a complete delamination along the OF rebar mat similar to the center of shoulder 9 *****. A level of "a" is no damage. What the results show is that there is a clear trend toward more damage with tighter rebar spacing. The models with all 12" rebar spacing showed no laminar cracks at all.

Performance Improvement International Page 5 Page 5 of 6 Exhibit 51 Conclusions This study shows that only a small fraction of the voids under the rebars need to fill with water and freeze in order to get laminar cracks. And, for a given motivating force, there are large laminar cracks that form in regions with dense rebar and none form in regions with sparse rebar. This study shows that freezing of ice under the horizontal rebars is a plausible failure mode by establishing the conditions under which this modality matches the observed failures and then further testing the mode to show that there is no failure in regions with sparse rebar. This study shows that for the same motivating force, there are large laminar cracks that form in regions with dense rebar and do not form in regions with sparse rebar. With a given motivating force, *************************

all of the models with 6" spacing of rebar showed the development of some laminar cracks, while none of the models with 12" spacing of both horizontals and verticals showed any laminar cracking.

This study establishes that rebar spacing is a probable contributing factor because the tighter rebar spacing can facilitate crack propagation.

In regions with wider rebar spacing, damage is less likely because of the absence of this contributing factor. © 2012. Performance Improvement International
