Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical model for cement-based materials: Temperature dependence of thermodynamic functions for nanocrystalline and crystalline C–S–H phases

TL;DR: In this article, a polyhedral decomposition model is developed to estimate the enthalpy of formation and the heat capacity of nanocrystalline C-SiO2-H2O phases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison between natural and accelerated carbonation (3% CO2): Impact on mineralogy, microstructure, water retention and cracking

TL;DR: In this article, the consequences of accelerated carbonation at 3% CO2 were compared with those of natural carbonation (0.04%) in Cement Pastes (CEM I and CEM V/A) and three major constitutive phases (C-S-H of different C/S ratios, portlandite and ettringite).
Journal ArticleDOI

Concrete creep modelling for structural applications: non-linearity, multi-axiality, hydration, temperature and drying effects

TL;DR: In this paper, a selection of experimental results of creep tests found in the scientific literature are used to highlight the nonlinearity, multi-axiality, hydration, and thermal and drying effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of carbonation on unsaturated water transport properties of cement-based materials

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of carbonation on water transport remains poorly studied and data are lacking, and the authors acquire all the data needed to describe unsaturated water transport in carbonated cementitious materials (porosity, water retention and unsaturated permeability).
Journal ArticleDOI

Formulating a low-alkalinity, high-resistance and low-heat concrete for radioactive waste repositories

TL;DR: In this article, low-alkalinity and low-heat cements which would be compatible with an underground waste repository environment were formulated and characterized in order to formulate and characterize low alkylation and low heat cements.
