The Effect of Elevated Curing Temperatures on High Ye'elimite Calcium Sulfoaluminate Cement Mortars.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the material properties and hydration characteristics of calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA) based mortars cured under 3 different initial curing temperatures. Two CSA cements with different M-values were selected. Obtained experimental results of mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and heat release were explained by hydration characteristics from X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis, porosimetry, and thermodynamic modeling. Decomposition of ettringite decreased compressive strength but re-formation of ettringite after additional curing at 30 °C helped to recover the strength in CSA cement with a high amount of calcium sulfate. CSA cement with a low amount of calcium sulfate which was designed to predominantly have monosulfate as the main hydration product, showed increased 1-day strength after higher temperature curing but this occurred was at the expense of decreased 28-day strength.

CO2 Curing Efficiency for Cement Paste and Mortars Produced by a Low Water-to-Cement Ratio.

Project description:Curing by CO2 is a way to utilize CO2 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Placing early-age cement paste in a CO2 chamber or pressure vessel accelerates its strength development. Cement carbonation is attributed to the quickened strength development, and CO2 uptake can be quantitatively evaluated by measuring CO2 gas pressure loss in the pressure vessel. A decrease in CO2 gas pressure is observed with all cement pastes and mortar samples regardless of the mix proportion and the casting method; one method involves compacting a low water-to-cement ratio mix, and the other method comprises a normal mix consolidated in a mold. The efficiency of the CO2 curing is superior when a 20% concentration of CO2 gas is supplied at a relative humidity of 75%. CO2 uptake in specimens with the same CO2 curing condition is different for each specimen size. As the specimen scale is larger, the depth of carbonation is smaller. Incorporating colloidal silica enhances the carbonation as well as the hydration of cement, which results in contributing to the increase in the 28-day strength.

Effect of Structural Build-Up on Interlayer Bond Strength of 3D Printed Cement Mortars.

Project description:Understanding the relationship between the intrinsic characteristics of materials (such as rheological properties and structural build-up) and printability and controlling intrinsic characteristics of materials through additives to achieve excellent printability is vital in digital concrete additive manufacturing. This paper aims at studying the effects of material's structural build-up on the interlayer bond strength of 3DPC with different time gaps. Structural build-up can indirectly affect the interlayer bond strength by affecting the surface moisture of concrete. Based on the structural build-up of 3DPC, a new parameter, maximum operational time (MOT), is proposed, which can be considered as the limit of time gap to ensure high interlayer bond strength. Slump-retaining polycarboxylate superplasticizer (TS) slightly slows down the physical flocculation rate, but increases the maximum operational time of the cement paste. Nano clay significantly increases the sort-term structural build-up rate and has the function of internal curing and water retaining. Composite with nano-clay and TS can reduce the loss of surface moisture of 3D printed layers, prevent the formation of interface weak layer, and increase the interlayer bond strength between printed layers. This contribution can provide new insight into the design of 3D-printed ink with good extrudability, outstanding buildability, and excellent interlayer bond strength.

Radiological Characteristics of Carbonated Portland Cement Mortars Made with GGBFS

Project description:The objective of this study is to assess whether the carbonation process can modify the physicochemical characteristics of the natural radionuclides of the three natural radioactive series, together with 40K. Three mortar specimens with different percentages of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS), cured under water for 1, 3, 7, 14, or 28 days, were subjected to a natural carbonation process. Activity concentrations for the solid and ground mortars were determined by gamma spectrometry and by radiochemical separation of isotopic uranium. The novelty of this paper relies principally on the study we have carried out, for the first time, of the radiological characteristics of carbonated Portland cement mortars. It was found that the chemical properties of the 3 mortar specimens were not affected by the carbonation process, with particular attention placed on uranium (238U, 235U, and 234U), the activity concentrations of which were equivalent to the 226Ra results and ranged from 5.5 ± 1.6 Bq kg−1 to 21.4 ± 1.2 Bq kg−1 for the 238U. The average activity concentrations for the 3 types of mortars were lower than 20.1 Bq kg−1, 14.5 Bq kg−1, and 120.2 Bq kg−1 for the 226Ra, 232Th (212Pb), and 40K, respectively. Annual effective dose rates were equivalent to the natural background of 0.024 mSv. In addition, it was observed that the variation rate for the 222Rn emanation was due primarily to the Portland cement hydration and not due to the pore size redistribution as a consequence of the carbonation process. This research will provide new insights into the potential radiological risk from carbonated cement-based materials. Moreover, the assessment that is presented in this study will convey valuable information for future research that will explore the activity concentration of building materials containing NORM materials.

Core-Shell Morphology of Redispersible Powders in Polymer-Cement Waterproof Mortars.

Project description:Redispersible powders based on soft core-hard shell polymer particles can be used as additives in polymer-cement mortars. The role of this morphology on the spray-drying production of these powders and on the crack-bridging properties of the corresponding cement-based membranes is investigated. Different polymer latexes at high solid content with varied core-shell ratio, shell thickness and chemical composition (hardness) were prepared from styrene and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate monomers via semi-batch emulsion polymerization. The latexes were characterized in terms of size, composition, and glass transition temperature (T g ), and spray-dried to obtain redispersible polymer powders (RPPs) using poly (vinyl alcohol) and limestone powder as anti-caking agents. The polymer powders were mixed with a mortar mixture and redispersed in water to produce cement-based membranes, which were tested for crack-bridging properties at different temperatures. The results showed that it was not possible to spray-dry a dispersion of homogeneous polymer particles with T g of -25 ∘ C, unless these particles are protected by much harder (high T g ) shell. In particular, it was observed that a thicker shell improved the spray-ability, but lowered the crack-bridging properties of the produced membrane. A trade-off between these two was revealed to be the key for the optimal design of the polymer nanoparticles, as proven by the systematic study of the core-shell morphology reported in this work. The best compromise was shown to consist of particles larger than 300 nm, shell thickness of about 5 nm, and core-shell ratio of 97%, with styrene content in the shell not larger than 80% to avoid excessive hydrophobicity.

Effect of Alkaline Salts on Calcium Sulfoaluminate Cement Hydration.

Project description:This work analyzes the effect of the presence of 5 wt.% of solid sodium salts (Na2SO4, Na2CO3, and Na2SiO3) on calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA) hydration, addresses hydration kinetics; 2-, 28-, and 90-d mechanical strength, and reaction product microstructure (with X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, (FTIR). The findings show that the anions affect primarily the reactions involved. Ettringite and AH3, are the majority hydration products, while monosulfates are absent in all of the samples. All three salts hasten CSA hydration and raise the amount of ettringite formed. Na2SO4 induces cracking in the ≥28-d pastes due to post-hardening gypsum and ettringite formation from the excess SO42- present. Anhydrite dissolves more rapidly in the presence of Na2CO3, prompting carbonation. Na2SiO3 raises compressive strength and exhibits strätlingite as one of its reaction products.

Creep Behavior of High-Strength Concrete Subjected to Elevated Temperatures.

Project description:Strain is generated in concrete subjected to elevated temperatures owing to the influence of factors such as thermal expansion and design load. Such strains resulting from elevated temperatures and load can significantly influence the stability of a structure during and after a fire. In addition, the lower the water-to-binder (W-B) ratio and the smaller the quantity of aggregates in high-strength concrete, the more likely it is for unstable strain to occur. Hence, in this study, the compressive strength, elastic modulus, and creep behavior were evaluated at target temperatures of 100, 200, 300, 500, and 800 °C for high-strength concretes with W-B ratios of 30%, 26%, and 23%. The loading conditions were set as non-loading and 0.33fcu. It was found that as the compressive strength of the concrete increased, the mechanical characteristics deteriorated and transient creep increased. Furthermore, when the point at which creep strain occurred at elevated temperatures after the occurrence of transient creep was considered, greater shrinkage strain occurred as the compressive strength of the concrete increased. At a heating temperature of 800 °C, the 80 and 100 MPa test specimens showed creep failure within a shrinkage strain range similar to the strain at the maximum load.

Evaluation of Properties and Microstructure of Cement Paste Blended with Metakaolin Subjected to High Temperatures.

Project description:The effects of 10% metakaolin addition on compressive strength, water absorption, shrinkage and microstructure evolution of cement paste after elevated temperatures exposure from room temperature to 800 °C were evaluated. The experimental results show that compressive strength increases at 200 °C and 400 °C compared with that obtained at ambient temperature. Up to 800 °C, compressive strength decreases rapidly. The addition of 10% metakaolin leads to the enhancement of compressive strength regardless of exposure temperatures. After thermal exposure at 400 °C, compressive strength reaches the maximum value. Thermal exposure degrades pore structure. A polynomial equation was used to indicate the shrinkage of cement paste or metakaolin-blended cement paste with testing days. Mechanical properties, permeability resistance, and shrinkage in cement pastes are closely related to the microstructure development. 10% metakaolin addition presents better thermal resistance, lower shrinkage and denser microstructure compared with pure cement paste before and after thermal exposure.

Influence of pore structure on humidity parameters of cement-polymer mortars contaminated with filamentous fungi.

Project description:Mineral building materials are porous materials. The volume of pores connected is the active volume of pores or the effective volume. The volume of all pores is the total volume of the pores. The properties of the individual pores are different. Their dimensions and shape can influence the properties of materials. Materials are modified with different admixtures to improve their properties. However, additives or admixtures can cause corrosion. Although building materials do not provide food for microorganisms, they are very often inhabited by them. As a result of their presence and the action of metabolic products, biodeterioration occurs. One of the products of metabolism is water. In this paper we investigated how the modified structure of biodeterioration caused by mould fungi affects the moisture content of cement-polymer mortar with the admixture of polysiloxane latex.

Preliminary Evaluation of Cement Mortars Containing Waste Silt Optimized with the Design of Experiments Method.

Project description:Every year, up to 3 billion tons of non-renewable natural aggregates are demanded by the construction sector and approximately 623 million tons of waste (mining and quarrying) was produced in 2018. Global efforts have been made to reduce the number of virgin aggregates used for construction and infrastructure sectors. According to the revised waste framework directive in Europe, recycling at least 70% of construction and demolition waste materials by 2020 was obligatory for all member states. Nonetheless, quarries must work at full capacity to keep up with the demands, which has made quarry/mining waste management an important aspect during the past decades. Amongst the various recycling methods, quarry waste can be included in cement mortar mixtures. Thus, the current research focuses on producing cement mortars by partially substituting natural sand with the waste silt obtained from the limestone aggregate production in S.A.P.A.B.A. s.r.l. (Italy). A Design of Experiments (DOE) method is proposed to define the optimum mix design, aiming to include waste silt in cement mortar mixtures without affecting the final performance. Three cement mortar beams were produced and tested for each of the 49 randomized mixtures defined by the DOE method. The obtained results validate the design approach and suggest the possibility of substituting up to 20% of natural sand with waste silt in cement mortar mixtures.
