Effects of belite incorporation on mechanical and microstructural properties of OPC mortars cured under carbonation condition

Hongfang Sun et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of different dosages of belite replacing ordinary Portland cement on the properties of OPC binders using carbonation curing. The results show that carbonation curing can increase the compressive strength, flexural strength, and fractural toughness of mortars, especially when belite is added. Microstructural analyses indicate that an appropriate amount of belite can improve the hydration degree and polymerization degree of OPC in a carbonation environment.

Temperature dependency of the dielectric properties of hydrated and ordinary Portland cement and their constituent phases at 2.45 GHz up to 1100?C br

Nicole Dilissen et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the microwave (MW) dehydration and clinkering of hydrated cement paste, specifically investigating the MW-material interaction during heating to 1100 degrees C. The dielectric properties of various cement components were measured, and their changes were correlated to phase changes detected through different analysis methods. The research shows that ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) can be effectively MW heated, and the dielectric properties of hydrated cement contribute to its efficient heating process. The recovery of clinker phases demonstrates the potential for cement retrieval from hydrates.

Radiological characteristics of Self-Compacting Concretes incorporating fly ash, silica fume, and slag

H. Alperen Bulut et al.

Summary: This study investigated the hypothesis that higher concentrations of natural radionuclides, harmful to human health, may be present in self-compacting concretes (SCCs) due to its higher powder material content compared to conventional concretes. The findings showed that adding fly ash, silica fume, and ground granulated blast furnace slag can increase the compressive strength of SCCs. Fly ash exceeded the limit for structural material, while silica fume proved to be an effective material in reducing concrete radioactivity.

Belite cements and their activation

Ana Cuesta et al.

Summary: Belite cements, or BCs, are low heat cements containing belite, alite, and calcium aluminates. They produce high amounts of C-S-H gel and have good durability properties, but their early-age strength development is not as competitive as that of Portland cements. To improve early-age strength development, research on activation using chemical, physical, and admixture approaches is a priority.
