Impact load was applied to hardened cement paste (HCP) specimens using a gas gun to investigate microscopic changes in the specimens and develop a better response model of concrete subjected to impact load. Plasma emission was observed at the moment of impact at 420 m/s and the colour of the portion near the impact point turned brighter. This brighter portion was analysed, and it was observed that the pore structure was coarser compared to the other portion; however, the results of thermogravimetry and X-ray diffraction analysis were similar. A possible reason is that the generated heat was instantaneous and the rate of the temperature increase in the HCP decreased due to evaporation of water in the HCP. These results indicate that during impact at a few hundred m/s, porosity increase due to heat effect is more dominant than porosity decrease due to mechanical compaction.

AbstractThe influence of shear mixing on selected properties of cement pastes and mortars was investigated by preparing specimens using an ordinary paddle mixer and a high speed shear mixer. The results appear to indicate that shear mixing influences the bond between paste and aggregate, particularily at low water:cement ratios. The properties of hardened cement paste did not change markedly as a result of high speed shear mixing used in this initial study.
