The formation of thaumasite was investigated with the progressive equilibrium approach (PEA). This approach experimentally simulates the conditions of various levels of sulfate addition in hardened cement pastes. The influence of limestone, time, C(3)A con ...
An experimental procedure has been designed in order to trace interactions within the binder responsible for the setting properties (flow decay + strength) of Low Cement Castables (LCC). After mixing, the binders which have been studied are characterized b ...
Cement pastes aged from 1 to 60 days were studied using synchrotron microtomography on the MS-X04SA beam line at the Swiss Light Source. This allowed three dimensional images to be obtained with a resolution approaching that of backscattered electron image ...
The effect of the small fraction of clays on the rheological behaviour of alpine debris flow is poorly understood. This is partly due to the complexity of the debris flow mineralogy and the broad particle size distribution. This study has investigated this ...
A new modelling framework, called μic, has been developed to enable simulations of complex particulate growths, in particular the microstructural evolution of hydrating cement paste. μic has been developed using the vector approach, which preserves the mul ...
The effect of several factors on the strength of alkali activated slags has been investigated. The most important factors were found to be: the type of alkaline activator, the means of adding activator, the dosage of alkali, the type and fineness of slag, ...
The influence of both early and late heat treatments on the microstructure and on the hydration products of Portland cement mortars has been investigated. The mortars were given either a 4-h or 28-day precure at 20 °C before heating at 90 °C for 12 h and w ...
Self-levelling flooring compounds (SLC) are applied in thin layers (less than 1cm) to level floors before further finishing cover such as parquet or plastic cover. They are composed of a ternary binder system based on Portland cement (PC), calcium aluminat ...
NOVELTY - A hydraulic binder comprises a source of calcium aluminate, calcium silicate, sulfate, and a source of reactive silica. The ingredients are present in such relative proportions that, upon hydration, both monosulfate and hydrated alumina are forme ...
An important mode of hydration of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is via the formation of a shell of hydration products around cement grains. It has been shown so far that shells form not only in OPC but also around C3A grains in a mixture of alite, C3A and ...
