Abstract

The investigate of novel cementitious system suitable for negative temperature concreting was the key way to solve the high energy consumption of traditional winter construction. In this study, the matching effects of anti-freezing agents (CaCl 2 , NaNO 2 and Li 2 CO 3 ) on the Portland cement-calcium sulphoaluminate cement blended system (PC-CSA system) based on Taguchi-Grey Relational Analysis (Taguchi-GRA method) were studied. The setting time, compressive strength and freezing point were tested, and the hydration products, pore structure and morphology were also analyzed to reveal the mechanism. The results showed that CaCl 2 was the main parameter influencing the initial and final setting time. Whether at the early stage of continuous negative temperature curing, or from negative to positive temperature curing, CaCl 2 had a dominant influence on the compressive strength of PC-CSA system, which promoted the increase of the early hydration products, resulting in the rapid formation of a network structure. At the later stage of continuous negative temperature curing, the influential parameter changed to NaNO 2 . The basic condition for hydration was provided due to the lowering of the freezing point of the liquid phase by NaNO 2 . The presence of Li 2 CO 3 enhanced the promoting effect of CaCl 2 on early strength. The optimal parameter combination for PC-CSA system was 1.0 % CaCl 2 , 2.0 % NaNO 2 and 0.4 % Li 2 CO 3 based on Taguchi-GRA method.
