Reactivity Assessment of Supplementary Cementitious Materials and Their Binary Blends Using R3 Test

Anuj Parashar et al.

Summary: The suitability of R-3 tests for measuring the reactivity of various SCMs and their blends with CH was investigated. The correlation between heat of hydration and bound water tests and the strength activity index was examined. The formation of hydration products and microstructure analysis were conducted. The applicability and limitations of the test method were discussed.

Characterisation and hydration kinetics of β-C2S synthesised with K2SO4 as dopant

Sreejith Krishnan et al.

Summary: A protocol for synthesising beta-C2S using K2SO4 as a dopant has been reported in this study. Quantitative X-Ray diffraction was used to characterise the synthesised samples and it was observed that high purity beta-C2S (>96 wt%) can be synthesised with limited free lime formation. The main secondary phase in the sintered samples was found to be unreactive gamma-C2S. Isothermal calorimetry studies showed that beta-C2S reacts slowly but produces similar calorimetric curve profiles as that of C3S. The hydration of beta-C2S produces C-S-H that is morphologically and compositionally identical to the one produced from the hydration of C3S. The presence of aluminosilicate pozzolan affects the hydration kinetics of beta-C2S.

Understanding the importance of carbonates on the performance of Portland metakaolin cement

Vineet Shah et al.

Summary: This study examines the influence of different carbonate and non-carbonate sources on the performance of Portland metakaolin cement binder, showing that the additives have an impact on early strength but minimal effect on later compressive strength; the absence of carbonate ions may lead to the formation of stratlingite, speculated to contribute to later age strength development. No significant difference was observed in porosity, electrical resistivity, or carbonation resistance between binders containing carbonate or non-carbonate sources at later age.

Impact of Alkali Salts on the Hydration of Ordinary Portland Cement and Limestone-Calcined Clay Cement

Sreejith Krishnan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of alkali addition on the hydration, phase assemblage, and strength development in ordinary portland cement (OPC) and limestone-calcined clay cement (LC3) produced with 50% clinker replacement. The alkalinity of OPC and LC3 was increased using four different alkali salts, resulting in an acceleration of early age hydration and strength development in both systems. However, increasing the alkalinity was also observed to reduce later age clinker hydration and strength development.
