Atomistic modeling of C-S-H: bulk and surface

By replacing part of Portland cement with so-called supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) it is possible to reduce the CO2 footprint of the cement industry. These SCMs are commonly limestone, calcined clay, slag and fly ash. While doing so the early ...

Report of RILEM TC 267-TRM phase 3: validation of the R-3 reactivity test across a wide range of materials

Karen Scrivener, Ruben Anton Snellings, Alastair Thomas Matthew Marsh, François Henri Avet, Mohsen Ben Haha, Xuerun Li, Pawel Tadeusz Durdzinski, Diana Londoño Zuluaga

RILEM TC 267 TRM- "Tests for Reactivity of Supplementary Cementitious Materials" recommends the Rapid Reliable Relevant (R-3) test as a method for determining the chemical reactivity of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in Portland cement blends. ...

Insights on chemical and physical chloride binding in blended cement pastes

Karen Scrivener, Fabien Jacques Michel Georget, William Wilson, Julien Nicolas Gonthier

This study investigates chloride binding in blended cement pastes exposed to 0.5 M NaCl solutions (with and without pH adjustment) using X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy image analysis (edxia). The aim is to better understand the ...

Reactive dicalcium silicate binders: Microstructure and transport properties

Adrian-Alexandru Pîrvan

The calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) are without doubt one of the most important hydration products in a hardened cement paste. Giving the complexity of the microstructure that forms by hydration of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and the more recently use ...

Resistance of cementitious materials to sulfate attack: quantifying performance with a reliable unidirectional approach

Qiao Wang

Depending on the environmental conditions, concrete materials can come into contact with sulfate ions which are widely present in rivers, underground water, sewers, seawater and soil. Sulfates can react with the cement paste in concrete and cause damage wh ...

Nanoscale modelling of ionic transport in the porous C-S-H network

Khalil Ferjaoui

To reduce the CO2 footprint of construction materials, concrete producers blend their cement with Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs). SCMs such as fly ash or blast furnace slag are mostly the byproducts of other industries. And while SCMs are chos ...

Oxidation of pyrite (FeS2) and troilite (FeS) impurities in kaolinitic clays after calcination

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

Valorisation of locally available clays for producing blended cements is crucial for a widespread adoption of sustainable binders incorporating these materials. In some places, clays can be intermixed with small amounts of iron sulfides, which could eventu ...

Effect of ZnO on the reactivity of cementitious systems

Andrea Eloisa Teixeira Pita

One of the biggest driving forces in cement research today is the mitigation of the CO2 emissions caused by its production. A potential solution to reduce the environmental impact is to replace cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). This ...

The effect of pore microstructure on strength and chloride ingress in blended cement based on low kaolin clay

Karen Scrivener, Diana Londoño Zuluaga

The objective of this study is to analyse the mechanical and durability properties of a high-performance mortars based on low grade kaolin clay and the effect of electrical conductivity and pore microstructure on the chloride penetration resistance. A tota ...

Hydration and durability of fast hardening binders incorporating supplementary cementitious materials

Sarra El Housseini

The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is widely considered the most promis-ing approach to reduce CO2 emissions relative to cement production. SCMs are not commonly present in binders used for special applications. On the other hand, due t ...
