Intrinsic Instability of Hardened Portland Cement Pastes and its Signifi- cance
A critical evaluation of shrinkage of saturated cement paste due to thermal cycling, increased ion diffusion through saturated cement paste due to thermal cycling, Powers water permeability data of dried and resaturated cement paste, and dying shrinkage data of Pickett and others reveals an intrinsic instability of Portland cement pastes. The instability is such that even a very mild treatment ...
متن کاملEFFECT OF POLYVINYL ALCOHOL ON FLEXURAL STRENGTH AND SOME IMPORTANT PHYSICALPROPERTIES OFPORTLAND CEMENT PASTE
Abstract: This work was designed to investigate the simultaneous effect of both water-to-cement (W/C) and polymer-to-cement(P/C) ratios on flexural strength of type V Portland cement pastes containing polyvinyl alcohol. The obtained resultsconfirmed the strong effect of W/C-ratio on the effectiveness of the added polymer so that there exist optimum valuesfor both W/C and P/C-ratios. Pastes prep...
متن کاملInfluence of Nano-Particles on Characteristics of MetakaolinContained Cement Paste
The influences of nano-ZrO2 (NZ), nano-TiO2 (NT), nano-Fe2O3 (NF) and nano-Al2O3 (NA) additions on properties of the fresh and hardened cement paste in comparison with the fine cement paste were experimentally studied. Mini slump and flow cone tests were conducted on fresh cement pastes. Moreover the compressive and tensile strength of hardened cement paste were measured. SEM micrographs and XR...
متن کاملStructural studies on hydrating cement pastes
The development of the mesoscopic material structure during the hydration of ordinary Portland cement paste is studied by small-angle neutron scattering. Results on the time dependence of radii of gyration (Guinier region) and exponents (Porod region) are given and discussed. Introduction Building materials like hardened cement are heterogeneous. Their useful properties (as strength, porosity, ...
متن کاملA rapid cyclic voltammetric method for studying cement factors affecting the corrosion of reinforced concrete
A rapid cyclic voltammetric method for studying the influence of cement factors on the corrosion of embedded iron and steel in hardened cement paste is described. The technique employs a “cement electrode” consisting of an iron or steel wire embedded in a miniature cylinder of hardened cement paste. The rapid cyclic voltammetric method is fast, reproducible, and provides information on the corr...
