This paper focuses on the interactions that occur between cement phases during early hydration, especially between the hydration of alite and C(3)A-gypsum. This study shows that alite reaction is accelerated in the presence of gypsum. This acceleration was ...
Hydration of C(3)A-gypsum systems with different gypsum additions was investigated in terms of the phase assemblage, kinetics and microstructural development. The second stage of the reaction, which begins after the depletion of gypsum, was of particular i ...
Concrete is the building material with the greatest potential for meeting the increasing housing demand in developing countries. Locally available materials should be considered as cement replacement in order to lower the costs and the environmental impact ...
The mechanisms behind the expansion of samples immersed in solutions containing sulfate ions have been controversial. Expansion is believed to originate in the formation of ettringite, but it is not possible to find any direct correlation between these two ...
Mortars prepared with a CEM I and a CEM III/B binder were investigated in different magnesium sulfate solutions. The main deterioration mechanism for the CEM I was expansion, while surface erosion was dominant for CEM III/B. The presence of sodium, potassi ...
This paper investigates the decomposition of three clayey structures (kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite) when thermally treated at 600 degrees C and 800 degrees C and the effect of this treatment on their pozzolanic activity in cementitious materials. ...
The consequences of external sulfate attack were investigated by traditional test methods, i.e. length and mass change, as well as by a newly developed, surface sensitive ultrasonic method, using Leaky Rayleigh waves (1 MHz). The macroscopic changes are di ...
Natural cement, called "Roman" cement, was invented at the end of the 19th century and played an important role in the development of civil engineering works until the 1860s. More surprisingly, it was also used to restore historic buildings, such as gothic ...
Tricalcium aluminate (C3A) is one of the main constituents of Portland cement. Even though it represents less than 10% of the total composition, its strong reaction with water can lead to a rapid setting, called flash set. Gypsum is added to regulate this ...
