This article presents a study of the effect of water glass and its introduction on the hydration of Portland cement and its properties in plastic and solid states. The introduction of sodium water glass into the mixing water extends the setting time of Portland cement by 35%, while introduction into the cement paste reduces it by 24.4%; for potassium water glass, the respective values are 10.8% and 10.8%. The introduction of sodium water glass into the mixing water decreases its consistency by 17.6%; its introduction into the cement paste reduces its consistency by 97%. Based on microcalorimetric studies and using the modelling method, mechanisms of the processes occurring in the cement paste, for various methods of introducing water glass admixtures, and their influence on the properties of cement are proposed. The important implications of the obtained results are that, using various methods for introducing admixtures of water glass, it is possible to regulate the setting of cement slurries within significant limits that are important during their transportation.

AbstractThe measurement of zeta potential (ZP) has important applications in a wide range of industries including ceramics, pharmaceuticals, medicine, mineral processing, electronics, cement industry and water treatment. It provides new information on cement hydration, gel structure formation and the effects of chemical and mineral admixtures. In this study, ZP and pH measurements of Portland cement suspension prepared at wt% 1 cement/water ratio in the presence of four different types of waters, i.e., pure water, tap water, and salted (NaCl and CaCl2) water, were carried out depending on the time. Also, vicat tests of Portland cement pastes prepared at a water-to-cement ratio of 0.34 were performed. After the vicat tests, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy investigations were performed on the samples. The most important result obtained from this study is that setting time and time-dependent ZP values of Portland cement paste have different values depending on the used mixing water type. Among the water types, water with CaCl2 gives the lowest ZP as absolute value, so this leads to minimum initial and final setting times for the cement paste prepared with this type of water.

The present work studies the influence of water-cement ratio and types of mixing water on the hydration process and microstructure of calcium sulphoaluminate (CSA) cement. Experimental tests on the setting time, physical properties, compressive strength, chemical shrinkage, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of CSA cement paste were carried out. The XRD analysis confirmed that the main hydration product is ettringite in both freshwater and seawater mixed CSA cement with different w/c ratios. The SEM analysis and physical properties test show that both low w/c ratio and seawater can improve the microstructure of CSA cement. The test results also find out that the high w/c ratio can accelerate the hydration process, extend the setting time, lower the compressive strength, and increase the chemical shrinkage of CSA cement, and the seawater presents a similar influence except for the mechanical property. The seawater increases the compressive strength of CSA cement in the early stage of hydration but will increase the microcracks at the later hydration stage of CSA cement and reduce its mechanical properties.

In order to improve the early age strength of ordinary Portland cement-based materials, many early strength agents were applied in different conditions. Different from previous research, the nano calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) particles used in this study were synthesized through the chemical reaction of CaO, SiO2, and H2O under 120 °C using the hydrothermal method, and the prepared nano C-S-H particles were highly crystalized. The influences of different amounts of nano C-S-H particles (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3% by weight of cement) on the setting time, compressive strength, and hydration heat of cement paste were studied. The hydration products and microstructure of the cement paste with different additions of nano C-S-H particles were investigated through thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests. The results show that the nano C-S-H particles could be used as an early strength agent, and the early strength of cement paste can be increased by up to 43% through accelerating the hydration of tricalcium silicate (C3S). However, the addition of more than 2% nano C-S-H particles was unfavorable to the later strength development due to more space being left during the initial accelerated hydration process. It is suggested that the suitable content of the nano C-S-H particles is 0.5%−1% by weight of cement.

Carbonates and bicarbonates are two groups of accelerators which can be used in sprayed concrete. In this study, the effects of the two accelerators sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% by weight of ordinary Portland cement OPC) on the properties of OPC paste were compared. The results show that both of them could accelerate the initial and final setting time of OPC paste, but the effect of the two accelerators on the compressive strength were different. After 1 day, sodium bicarbonate at 3% had the highest strength while sodium carbonate at 1% had the highest strength. After 7 days, both of the two accelerators at 1% had the highest compressive strength. After 28 days, the compressive strength decreased with the increase of the two. The improved strength at 1 and 7 days was caused by the accelerated formation of ettringite and the formation of CaCO3 through the reactions between the two with portlandite. The decrease of strength was caused by the Na+ could reduce the adhesion between C-S-H gel by replacing the Ca2+. NaHCO3 was found be a better accelerator than Na2CO3.

Introduction. The article considers the enhancement of physical and mechanical parameters of construction mortars used for recovering and repairing of building structures of communication collectors by using low-temperature nonequilibrium plasma. The study vindicated the expediency of treatment of construction mortar raw materials with LTNP to enhance their physical and mechanical parameters. The effect of plasma modification of raw materials on Portland cement phase composition, granulometric composition of the sand and mortar properties are analysed. The influence of multiplicity of silica sand and mixing water plasma treatment on the construction mortar strength is considered. Materials and methods. Cement-sand mortars are obtained from Portland cement of the CEM I 32.5N and CEM I 42.5N brands and silica sand with the fineness moduli of Mf = 0.32 and Mf = 0.63 and a separate fraction of less than 0.16 mm. Setting time and strength of the building mortars are defined according to GOST state standards in effect. Granulometric composition of the cement is explored by means of Analysette-22 particle size microanalyser, while ARL Optim’X spectrometer is used for studying phase composition of the cement stone, silica sand and cement-sand mortars. Results. It is determined that the plasma treatment of Portland cement reduces the grout normal consistency by 15 to 17 % and decreases its setting time by a factor of 3 to 4. Treatment of mixing water with the nonequilibrium low-temperature plasma removes its hardness, forming additional crystallization nuclei. The plasma-treated mixing water increases the curing rate of cement-sand mortars up to 50 % at the early stages of hardening and up to 30 % on the 28th day of hardening. Using plasma-treated silica sand decreases size of its particles and results in partial transition of the crystalline structure into the amorphous one. This reduces water demand of the sand by 10 to 18 %. Conclusions. The expedience of plasma treatment of raw materials to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of mortars is vindicated. Owing to the plasma modification of raw materials, quality and process characteristics of construction mortars are improved. The presented method of the plasma treatment of raw materials used to prepare the construction mortars is characterized with high degree of efficiency and convenience of application.

The goal of this research is to investigate the influence of seawater as mixing water and curing water on characteristics of cement paste and mortar. Research was conducted with making mixtures of cement paste and mortar using two kind of cement, Portland Composite Cement (PCC) and Pozzolana Portland Cement (PPC) with seawater as mixing water. Characteristics of fine aggregate and characteristics of cement paste with seawater mixing were investigated. Furthermore, 144 cube mortar specimens in size of 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm in four series mortar mixtures were casted according with SNI 03-6825-2002. At 24 hours after specimens were casted, cube mortar specimens were cured in tap water curing (TC), seawater curing (SC) and air curing (AC). After achievement at certain curing day of 3, 7, 14 and 28 days, cube mortar samples were tested in compressive strength. Results concluded that seawater mixing improves compressive strength of mortar up to 28 days in all curing conditions, TC, SC and AC. Moreover, strength of mortar is not affected by type of curing water, tap water or seawater.

Cement paste was replaced with kaolin-bentonite. The specimens were exposed to elevated temperature for 3 hours in a ceramic furnace and cooled down to room temperature. After cooling, the effect of kaolin-bentonite (particles sized of < 45μm) on hydration, rehydration, surface roughness and compressive strength of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) paste were investigated. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to study surface roughness of OPC paste-additive mixture. The application of fire on OPC paste was analyzed. The results showed imposed heat (500 oC for 3 hours) accelerates the hydration process of OPC, and reduces setting time. Increased heat to 1000 oC, leads to zero compressive strength of specimens, the compressive strength of OPC continuously reduces after specimen has fully cooled down. A method for recovery of compressive strength of OPC after offing fire has been suggested. The method of offing fire has important effects on the compressive strength of concrete. The best results for specimen content are cement-kaolin-bentonite paste, exposure to 500 o C, after 90 days of curing, and cooling down in water. In this case the compressive strength has been increased around 60 % compared to not using additive and not exposing to heat.
