Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
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 ...
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 ...
H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), supported by a measurement of the degree of hydration using X-ray diffraction, has been used to fully characterise the nano-scale porosity and composition of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H), the active component of ce ...
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 ...
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 ...
Rietveld quantitative phase analysis has become a widespread tool for the characterization of Portland cement, both for research and production control purposes. One of the major remaining points of debate is whether Portland cements contain amorphous cont ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
