Report of RILEM TC 267-TRM phase 2: optimization and testing of the robustness of the R3 reactivity tests for supplementary cementitious materials

Karen Scrivener, Ruben Anton Snellings, Alastair Thomas Matthew Marsh, François Henri Avet, Mohsen Ben Haha, Xuerun Li, Pawel Tadeusz Durdzinski, Shashank Bishnoi, Diana Londoño Zuluaga, Anuj Parashar

The results of phase 1 of an interlaboratory test, coordinated by the RILEM TC 267-TRM "Tests for Reactivity of Supplementary Cementitious Materials" showed that the R-3 (rapid, relevant, reliable) test method, by measurement of heat release or bound water ...

Clay calcination technology: state-of-the-art review by the RILEM TC 282-CCL

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, François Henri Avet, Alastair Thomas Matthew Marsh, Mohsen Ben Haha, Shashank Bishnoi, Adrian Alujas Diaz, Anuj Parashar

The use of calcined clays as supplementary cementitious materials provides the opportunity to significantly reduce the cement industry's carbon burden; however, use at a global scale requires a deep understanding of the extraction and processing of the cla ...

Report of RILEM TC 267-TRM: Improvement and robustness study of lime mortar strength test for assessing reactivity of SCMs

Karen Scrivener, Ruben Anton Snellings, Mohsen Ben Haha, Xuerun Li, Shashank Bishnoi, Pawel Tadeusz Durdzinski, Mathieu Antoni, Anuj Parashar, Yuvaraj Dhandapani

RILEM TC 267-TRM is studying tests for the reactivity supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). In the first phase, the lime reactivity (LR) test, which is standardised in Indian standard (IS)-1727, gave promising correlations with 90-days cement mortar ...

The role of cavitation in drying cementitious materials

Karen Scrivener, Mohsen Ben Haha, Monisha Rastogi

This study examines the role of cavitation in drying cementitious materials. Classical nucleation theory is used to understand and study the parameters that influence cavitation pressures. The water desorption isotherms indicate that both heterogeneous and ...

Factors affecting the reactivity of slag at early and late ages

Karen Scrivener, Mohsen Ben Haha, Yosra Briki

This study investigates the difference between the reactivity of slag in NaOH solution (w/s = 100) and in cement paste (w/b = 0.4). The reactivity of slag is much higher in NaOH solution than in cement paste. When the NaOH solution is saturated with portla ...

Impact of limestone fineness on cement hydration at early age

Karen Scrivener, Mohsen Ben Haha, Yosra Briki

This study compares the influence of two limestone fineness on strength development and cement hydration. The replacement of clinker by 20% of fine limestone (d(v,50) = 2 mu m and SSA = 4,21 m(2)/g) gives similar strength development to PC up to 7 days. Fi ...

Understanding of the factors slowing down metakaolin reaction in limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) at late ages

Karen Scrivener, Paul Bowen, Mohsen Ben Haha, François Henri Avet, Yosra Briki

Factors which could explain the slowing down of the metakaolin reaction in LC3 blends are investigated. Portlandite availability and the presence of aluminium ions in the pore solution are shown not to be limiting factors. ...

Hydration reactions and stages of clinker composed mainly of stoichiometric ye'elimite

Karen Scrivener, Emmanuelle Boehm Courjault, Mohsen Ben Haha, Frank Bullerjahn

Ye'climitc (Ca4Al6O12SO4 or C(4)A(3)(S) over bar) is the main hydraulic mineral present in calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA). The hydration of ye'elimite is responsible for the early age cement properties. We identify 5 stages in the hydration of neat st ...
