Carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage relies on safe, long-term injection of large quantities of CO2 in underground porous rocks. Wells, whether they are the conduit of the pumped fluid or are exposed to CO2 in the storage reservoir (observation and old ...
The current state of knowledge of cement hydration mechanisms is reviewed, including the origin of the period of slow reaction in alite and cement, the nature of the acceleration period, the role of calcium sulfate in modifying the reaction rate of tricalc ...
A cementitious matrix for Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) containing the following constituents (in % mass of dry mix): a) 25 to 65 % Portland cement type CEM I; b) 25 to 70 % of Limestone filler; c) 5 to 15 % ultrafine mineral ad ...
Chloride ion is in part bound into ordinary Portland cement paste and modifies its mineralogy. To understand this a literature review of its impacts has been made and new experimental data were obtained. Phase pure preparations of Friedel's salt, Ca4Al2(Cl ...
X-ray powder diffraction allows direct measurement of the phase content in cement. More recently, whole pattern approaches such as the Rietveld method show an improvement in both within (repeatability) and between laboratory (reproducibility) precision. Th ...
The microstructural aspects of iron sulfide degradation in dam concrete were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) in both dam concrete samples and laboratory concrete. The results show that iron sulfid ...
We present results of a hybrid experimental and theoretical investigation of the fracture scaling in scratch tests and show that scratching is a fracture dominated process. Validated for paraffin wax, cement paste, Jurassic limestone and steel, we derive a ...
The early hydration of alite, in particular the reason for the onset of the induction period, has been a subject of controversy for many decades. Several theories have been proposed, principally the formation of a protective phase inhibiting dissolution or ...
The risk minimization of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage relies to some extent on well integrity assurance. While chemical reactions between the constitutive materials of the wellbore - such as cement - and stored CO 2 do not jeopardize the efficiency of a de ...
The production of Portland cement accounts for 5 to 8% of the global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In the past years, the cement industry has attempted to reduce this contribution by the use of mineral additions on the cement or in the concrete mix. The typ ...
