Supplementary cementitious materials

TL;DR: The use of silica-rich SCMs influences the amount and kind of hydrates formed and thus the volume, the porosity and finally the durability of these materials.

Cement substitution by a combination of metakaolin and limestone

TL;DR: In this paper, the coupled substitution of metakaolin and limestone in Portland cement (PC) was investigated and the mechanical properties were studied in mortars and the microstructural development in pastes by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry analysis, mercury intrusion porosimetry and isothermal calorimetry.

Cemdata18: A chemical thermodynamic database for hydrated Portland cements and alkali-activated materials

TL;DR: The Cemdata18 database as mentioned in this paper contains thermodynamic data for common cement hydrates such as C-S-H, AFm and AFt phases, hydrogarnet, hydrotalcite, zeolites, and M-S -H that are valid over temperatures ranging from 0 to at least 100°C.

Hydration of Portland cement with high replacement by siliceous fly ash

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of fly ash on the hydration of ordinary Portland cement pastes were investigated over a hydration time of 550 days and the results were compared with a reference blend of OPC containing 50% of inert quartz powder allowing the distinction between "filler effect" and pozzolanic reaction.

Influence of limestone on the hydration of Portland cements

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the presence of limestone on the hydration of Portland cement was investigated, and it was shown that the stabilisation of monocarbonate in the absence of limestone indirectly stabilised ettringite, leading to a corresponding increase of the total volume of the hydrate phase and a decrease of porosity.

Thermodynamic Modelling of the Effect of Temperature on the Hydration and Porosity of Portland Cement

TL;DR: In this article, the phase assemblage and pore solution of Portland cements hydrated between 0-60°C were modeled as a function of time and temperature, and a good correlation between calculated porosity and measured compressive strength was observed.

The Role of Calcium Carbonate in Cement Hydration

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown by experiment and calculation that much, if not all, of this calcite is reactive and affects the distribution of lime, alumina and sulfate and thereby alters the mineralogy of hydrated cement pastes.

Thermodynamic modelling of the hydration of Portland cement

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic model is developed and applied to calculate the composition of the pore solution and the hydrate assemblage during the hydration of an OPC.
