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.
Through a collaborative work established between CIDEM and the Laboratory of Construction Materials at EPFL, a new cementitious system based on a synergetic combination of calcined clay and limestone as Portland's clinker replacement was developed. The nov ...
In this work, the uniaxial creep in compression during the first days of hydration is studied experimentally on cement pastes with w/c of 0.50. to order to assess the effect of the evolving microstructure on creep, the so-called equivalent systems are empl ...
At the turn of the 19th century, the production and use of concrete were limited by the unavailability of raw materials to produce good cement in several places. From that time onwards, the progress of chemistry and a number of empirical discoveries opened ...
In this paper, the replacement of high cost silica fume with calcined clay was investigated in UHPFRC mixes. The impact of two grades of calcined clay on the hydration and microstructural development of UHPFRC matrices was investigated, where 54% of the ce ...
This paper evaluates feasibility of alkali activation to boost the reactivity and cementitious properties of recycled glass powder ( GP), when it is used in four different binary mixtures with ordinary Portland cement ( OPC), alkali activated slag or fly a ...
Progress in understanding hydration mechanisms of alite and Portland cement is reviewed. Up to the end of the induction period, dissolution rates determined by the undersaturation of the solution dominate the reaction, but, better understanding is needed a ...
The alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is one of the most common causes of internal concrete degradation. This chemical reaction occurs between the amorphous silica contained inside the aggregates, and the alkalis of the cement pore solution. During the reaction ...
This paper investigates the fundamental mechanisms behind the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the basic creep behavior of cement pastes. The intrinsic creep properties of the C-S-H gel are assessed based on measurements of uniaxial ...
During carbonation, the microstructure of a cement paste is strongly modified, which induces a dynamic feedback loop impacting the global advancement of the reaction. In this study, we investigate the effect of the microstructure model on simulations of ac ...
Autogenous shrinkage is the unrestrained volume change of cementitious materials occurring at con-stant temperature without any change in mass. It occurs as a consequence of self-desiccation (de-crease of internal relative humidity) and increasing capillar ...
