Cement Reaction and Resultant Physical Properties of Cement Paste
Source abstract
Abstract
The body of data about the reaction kinetics of cement has greatly grown in recent years, and in terms of techniques for the prediction of the resulting hydrate formation phases, databases contributing to thermodynamic equilibrium calculations have been developed and are growing increasingly sophisticated. On the other hand, though many studies on cement aim to contribute to concrete engineering and numerical model researchers have pointed out the necessity of shedding light on the relationship between the microstructures generated by hydration and physical properties, such data remains scarce. This study investigated Portland cements using two commonly used water-cement ratios and three types of mineral compositions in the material age range of up to one year. The phase composition in relation to cement hydration was determined by X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld analysis. In terms of physical properties, compressive strength and Young's modulus were measured through loading tests, and Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio were also obtained from the ultrasonic pulse propagation velocity of longitudinal and transverse waves. Further, water vapor adsorption tests to shed light on moisture behavior were conducted, yielding the BET specific surface area. Thermal conductivity, an important determinant of thermal behavior, was measured using the transient hot wire method. On the premise of the application of these physical properties to numerical calculations, their correlation with the information obtained from the phase composition was considered, leading to the proposal of simple and relatively high-accuracy empirical formulas. Further, background information about raising the correlation of these empirical formulas was also discussed.
