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 ...
The sulfate attack is known to influence the durability of concrete. In general, significant damage due to sulfate interaction results in the structural breakdown of the concrete structure. However, the precipitation of thaumasite due to sulfate concentrat ...
X-ray microanalysis have been made on a suite of nine oilwell cement clinkers. Elemental data were obtained on alite, belite, and ferrite phases and, for two clinkers only, also on aluminate. The alite and belite compositions are broadly similar to those p ...
X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful technique for the study of crystalline materials. The technique of Rietveld refinement now enables the amounts of different phases in anhydrous cementitious materials to be determined to a good degree of precision. Thi ...
Hardened cement paste in concrete wastes can be a valuable precursor material for the production of recycled cements. In the reported study, X-ray diffraction data of cementitious materials obtained by thermal processing of hardened pastes were quantitativ ...
