The modeling platform µic has been extended to study the hydration of cement based systems. It is shown that the hydration kinetics of alite can be described through the implementation of two mechanisms: a solution controlled dissolution (SCD) mechanism fo ...
We studied the interdependent effects of phosphate, silicate and Ca on the formation of Fe(III)-precipitates by oxidation of 0.5 mM Fe(II) in near-neutral bicarbonate-buffered aqueous solutions at concentrations relevant for natural water resources. Comple ...
Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are widely used to partially replace portland clinker in blended cements. Reducing clinker contents further without compromising the development of early strength necessitates a better assessment and enhancement ...
Thermodynamic modeling is a versatile tool for predicting the chemical composition cement during the hydration of cement. The quality of the thermodynamic modeling depends directly on the quality and completeness of thermodynamic database used. One of the ...
The basic nature of alkali hydroxides (NaOH, KOH) when added to mixing water, increases the pH in proportion to the level of salt addition. For alite (impure tricalcium silicate; MIII-Ca3SiO5) hydration, this pH increase accelerates the rate of hydration a ...
This thesis investigates the replacement of Portland cement by addition of high amounts of calcined clays and limestone. Such ternary blends can become more ecological and economical binders to answer the worldwide housing shortage. It could be demonstrate ...
Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) are known to reduce or even stop expansion due to alkali silica reaction (ASR) in concretes with reactive aggregates. Studies indicate that the main reason for this is the decrease in alkalinity of the pore soluti ...
Alkali silica reaction (ASR) is a long-term reaction between certain aggregates containing amorphous silicate phases and the alkalis from the cement paste. These silicates react with the alkalis present in the pore solution of the cement paste and form an ...
Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) was synthetized at 20 degrees C to investigate the effect of aluminium uptake (Al/Si = 0-0.33) in the presence and absence of alkalis on the composition and the solubility of a C-S-H with a Ca/Si equal to 1.0. C-S-H incorpo ...
Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the main hydrate phase in Portland cements. Its composition
varies depending on the Ca/Si ratio and on the presence of other ions such as aluminium (called CA-
S-H) or alkalis.
This thesis aimed to study the compositi ...
