ECO2 framework assessment of limestone powder concrete slabs and columns

Hisham Tarek Mohamed Hafez

Producing limestone powder requires comparably far less energy than the production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), making it a promising sustainable solution for partial replacement of OPC in concrete. Lower production energy could be translated into lo ...

Nanoscale modelling of ionic transport in the porous C-S-H network

Khalil Ferjaoui

To reduce the CO2 footprint of construction materials, concrete producers blend their cement with Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs). SCMs such as fly ash or blast furnace slag are mostly the byproducts of other industries. And while SCMs are chos ...

The Challenge of Grinding Ternary Blends Containing Calcined Clays and Limestone

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, Juan Alberto Ribalta Quesada

The inclusion of high specific surface materials such as calcined clays in cementitious systems enhances the hydration of clinker products at very early ages, but it may also increase water demand; thus, the pursuit of a flowing concrete may demand an incr ...

The influence of sulfate addition on hydration kinetics and C-S-H morphology of C3S and C3S/C(3)A systems

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

A comprehensive understanding of hydration kinetics, sulfate requirement and phase assemblage of Portland cement is crucial for further optimization of early-age performance, especially when part of cement is replaced by mineral additions in blended cement ...

The effect of paste composition, aggregate mineralogy and temperature on the pore solution composition and the extent of ASR expansion

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Mahsa Bagheri

The reaction kinetics of the alkali silica reaction depends on the composition of the pore solution. The evolution of the pore solution composition in different cement pastes and concretes was studied. Pastes containing silica fume or metakaolin had the lo ...

Al uptake in calcium silicate hydrate and the effect of alkali hydroxide

Karen Scrivener, Yan Yan, Barbara Lothenbach

The effect of Al and of pH on the structure of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), the most important hydration product in Portland and blended cement, was studied at Ca/Si similar to 1.0. The presence of Al led to higher amounts of secondary phases, larger ...

Concrete cancer : characterization of Alkali Silica Reaction early stage products by electron microscopy

Solène Anne-Lise Albinski

Concrete deterioration is a natural process, which has to be carefully monitored over a the service life of a structure. The Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) is a slow-process degradation, which devel-ops over decades and is therefore difficult to predict. Sin ...
