The inclusion of high specific surface materials such as calcined clays in cementitious systems enhances the hydration of clinker products at very early ages, but it may also increase water demand; thus, the pursuit of a flowing concrete may demand an incr ...

The enhancement of the 1 day strength of cementinous systems by a combination of calcium chlonde (CaCl2) and diethanol-isopropanolamine (DEIPA) was studied, particularly in blended cement systems A combination of quantitative X-ray diffraction with Rietvel ...

The influence of the presence of limestone on the hydration of Portland cement was investigated. Blending of Portland cement with limestone was found to influence the hydrate assemblage of the hydrated cement. Thermodynamic calculations as well as experime ...

Carbonation treatment is a promising option to enhance recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) quality and eventually improve concrete performance. This study investigated the multi-scale mechanical properties of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) in a mature ali ...

A new Python code for the automated generation of realistic bulk calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) structures is introduced. The code was used to generate 400 structures with Ca/Si of 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, and 1.9. The generated structures are in excellent agreeme ...

Degradation of cementitious materials by sulfate ions is commonly classified into chemical and physical sulfate attack. So-called "physical" attack dominates in many field situations, but laboratory testing focuses on "chemical" attack under full-immersion ...

LC3 is one of the most promising alternatives for a high-performance blended cement with a significantly lower clinker content and with potential for worldwide adoption. For this reason, understanding its long-term performance is relevant to ensure service ...

This paper is the work of working group 2 of the RILEM TC 238-SCM. Its purpose is to review methods to estimate the degree of reaction of supplementary cementitious materials in blended (or composite) cement pastes. We do not consider explicitly the wider ...

The results of phase 1 of an interlaboratory test, coordinated by the RILEM TC 267-TRM "Tests for Reactivity of Supplementary Cementitious Materials" showed that the R-3 (rapid, relevant, reliable) test method, by measurement of heat release or bound water ...

Blast-furnace slags are widely used as supplementary cementitious materials in blended cements because of their relatively high reactivity. This study describes the effect of substituting Ca by Mg on the reactivity of synthetic glass with similar compositi ...

Phase equilibria in the CaO-Al2O3-Fe2O3-SO3 system have been studied, mainly at 1325 degrees C. In particular the solid solution compositions of ye'elimite Ca-4(Al6O12)SO4 and brownmillerite (C-2(A,F)) phases have been analysed and used to estimate the com ...

A preliminary assessment of conditions for the industrial manufacture of a new cementitious system based on clinker-calcined clay and limestone, developed by the authors, referred as "low carbon cement" is presented. The new cement enables the substitution ...

Blended cements, where Portland cement clinker is partially replaced by supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), provide the most feasible route for reducing carbon dioxide emissions associated with concrete production. However, lowering the clinker co ...

An Integrated Particle Kinetics Model (IPKM) to simulate the evolution of cement microstructure during hydration is presented. The advantages of the model are that the space is not divided into discrete pixels, so there is no lower resolution on the size o ...

The effect of Al and of pH on the structure of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), the most important hydration product in Portland and blended cement, was studied at Ca/Si similar to 1.0. The presence of Al led to higher amounts of secondary phases, larger ...

Cement is the most produced material around the world. Developing countries face a growth of population involving an increasing need of infrastructures. Due to this situation, the cement industry needs to find the best comprise between increasing the cemen ...

This paper investigates the fundamental mechanisms behind the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the basic creep behavior of cement pastes. The intrinsic creep properties of the C-S-H gel are assessed based on measurements of uniaxial ...

The pores in cementitious materials, their sizes and connectivity have an important influence on the durability of concrete. Several microstructural models have been developed to simulate the three-dimensional pore network in cement pastes. In this article ...

In this study, a new method to assess early properties of cementitious materials by water-solvent replacement is investigated. Isopropanol was used to replace a part of mixing water of binder paste, limiting the maximum degree of hydration it can achieve. ...

Mortars prepared with a CEM I and a CEM III/B binder were investigated in different magnesium sulfate solutions. The main deterioration mechanism for the CEM I was expansion, while surface erosion was dominant for CEM III/B. The presence of sodium, potassi ...
