Effect of sulfate on C-S-H at early age

Karen Scrivener, Arnaud Charles Albert Muller, Elise Marie Jeanne Berodier

The effect of increasing sulfate contents on the hydration of white cement was studied with a multi-technique approach. Quantitative X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) revealed that adding more gypsum in the cement resulted in more ettringite formation. Combining iso ...

Impact of the supplementary cementitious materials on the kinetics and microstructural development of cement hydration

Elise Marie Jeanne Berodier

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are currently used to replace part of the clinker to reduce the environmental impact of cement and to favor the use of local materials. Two representative SCM have been used in this work: slag and fly ash. Each o ...

Evolution of pore structure in blended systems

Karen Scrivener, Elise Marie Jeanne Berodier

In this study, the effect of SCM in the cement paste was isolated by using ternary systems combining Portland cement, quartz and SCM. The results show clear differences in how the hydrates from the reaction of clinker, slag and fly ash fill space. The reac ...

Understanding the Filler Effect on the Nucleation and Growth of C-S-H

Karen Scrivener, Elise Marie Jeanne Berodier

The filler effect, due to the physical presence of mineral additions in cement, is mainly known to accelerate the hydration of the clinker component. Previously, this was attributed to the surface of the filler providing nucleation sites for C-S-H as there ...
