Unidirectional penetration approach for characterizing sulfate attack mechanisms on cement mortars and pastes

Karen Scrivener, Qiao Wang, William Wilson

Degradation of cementitious materials by sulfate ions is commonly classified into chemical and physical sulfate attack. So-called "physical" attack dominates in many field situations, but laboratory testing focuses on "chemical" attack under full-immersion ...

Effect of ZnO on the reactivity of cementitious systems

Andrea Eloisa Teixeira Pita

One of the biggest driving forces in cement research today is the mitigation of the CO2 emissions caused by its production. A potential solution to reduce the environmental impact is to replace cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). This ...

An elementary treatment on the diffraction of crystalline structures

Gervais Chapuis

Although W. L. Bragg's law can be easily derived for beginners in the field of crystallography, its interpretation however seems to cause some difficulties which lies essentially in the relation between the concept of lattice planes and the unit cell const ...

Two low CO2 cement systems are investigated: one made with the use of supplementary cementitious materi-als (SCMs) (metakaolin and limestone) and the other an alternative binder, calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA). These two low CO2 cements contain a simi ...

Hydration development and thermal performance of calcium sulphoaluminate cements containing microencapsulated phase change materials

Diana Londoño Zuluaga

Microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCM) incorporated in buildings walls can reduce indoor temperature fluctuations, conserving energy and enhancing thermal comfort. MPCM were incorporated in calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA) at high concentratio ...

Knowledge of the atomic-level structure is key to understanding and predicting properties of materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is the methods of choice for structures containing well-defined long-range order. However, many materials contain various degree ...

Ye'elimite (Ca4Al6O12SO4 or C(4)A(3)S) is the main hydraulic mineral present in calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA). Its reaction is responsible for the (early) hydration and associated cement properties such as the chemical shrinkage. This paper discusse ...

Characterisation and hydration of ye'elimite containing cements

Frank Bullerjahn

Calcium sulphoaluminate cements (CSA) with the main phase yeâelimite are a promising class of non-Portland cements which are gaining increasing interest from the cement industry. However, the hydration kinetics of CSA cements varies strongly, even for ce ...

The pore solution of blended cements: a review

Barbara Lothenbach, Ruben Anton Snellings

This paper is the work of working group 3 of the RILEM Technical Committee on Hydration and Microstructure of Concrete with SCM (TC 238-SCM). The pore solution is an essential but often overlooked part of hydrated cements. The composition of the cement por ...
