TLDR
In this article, the effect of temperature in the mineralogical composition of cement hydration products has been studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and DTG curves, which can be used to determine fire conditions and the consequent deterioration expected in the cement paste.

Degradation resistance of different cementitious materials to phosphoric acid attack at early stage

TL;DR: In this paper, the early stage of the degradation process of different cementitious materials in phosphoric acid was studied and the degradation kinetics, chemical and microstructural properties as well as dissolution rate of these binders were analyzed.

Pre- and post-heating behavior of concrete-filled steel tube stub columns containing steel fiber and tire rubber

TL;DR: In this paper, the axial compressive behavior of short concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns with rubberized concrete core when they are exposed to elevated temperature was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of red mud on the properties of fresh and hardened alkali-activated slag paste and mortar

TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to investigate the effect of red mud (RM) and thermally treated at 550 and 750°C (at 40%) on the performance of an AAS system.

Incorporation of cement bypass flue dust in fly ash and blast furnace slag-based geopolymer

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ground, granulated blast furnace slag with fly ash and cement bypass flue dust to construct a geopolymer, which is formed in the solid state like ordinary Portland cement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of sulfuric acid attack upon cement mortars containing silicon carbide powder

TL;DR: In this paper, silicon carbide particles play an important role by filling the pores inside the cement composites and densifying the microstructure due to the filler effect, and this behavior was enhanced with the increase in silicon carbides content.

Compressive strength of concrete at high temperatures: a reassessment

TL;DR: In this paper, a reassessment of the subject is given, which considers material and environmental factors/mechanisms influencing the strength of concrete during the heat cycle and after cooling, not all of which necessarily result in strength loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal stability and decomposition mechanisms of ettringite at <120°C

TL;DR: In this article, the decomposition and reformation of ettringite is studied as a function of water vapour pressure and temperature, and the authors make recommendations for the upper safe service limits for ETTringite-based cements.

Physicochemical, mineralogical, and morphological characteristics of concrete exposed to elevated temperatures

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of elevated temperatures on the mineralogical changes occurring in the hydrated phases of concrete cubes were studied by measuring ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and consequent deterioration in the compressive strength with increase in temperature.

Differential scanning calorimetry study of ordinary Portland cement

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal behavior of hydration products in ordinary Portland cement as a function of age was investigated using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffraction analysis.

Elastic properties of high alumina cement castables from room temperature to 1600°C

TL;DR: In this article, high-alumina refractory castables with compositions in the systems CaO-Al2O3 and CaO−Al 2O3-SiO2 were studied using an ultrasonic technique.
