Modeling of damage in cement-based materials subjected to external sulfate attack. I: Formulation
Raphaël Tixier,Barzin Mobasher +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a second-order chemical reaction between reacting calcium aluminates and ingressing sulfates depletes the sulfate concentration, leading to changes in the diffusivity and a reduction in the elastic properties of the matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of Damage in Cement-Based Materials Subjected to External Sulfate Attack. II: Comparison with Experiments
Raphaël Tixier,Barzin Mobasher +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a diffusion equation with a term for a second-order chemical reaction is proposed to determine the sulfate concentration and calcium aluminate profile as a function of time and space.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of copper slag on the hydration and mechanical properties of cementitious mixtures
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of copper slag on the hydration of portland cement-based materials is studied through semiquantitative X-ray diffraction and TGA/DTA.
