Mineral additions such as fly ash and silica fume are industrial by products, and play an important role in properties improvement for construction materials. In this work, the shrinkage of cement paste blended with fly ash and silica fume by different substitute ratio was studied. Pore structures of specimens at different ages were determined by mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and shrinkage deformation was measured by standard shrinkage tests. The effects of mineral addtions on shrinkage were discussed. The results show that the fly ash was significantly effective on shrinkage at early ages. Based on the research, several suitable advices were offered to optimize the performances of materials and reduce the shrinkage.

Hydration of cement with and without fly ash is studied with Mössbauer spectroscopy, XRD, and thermal analysis. Iron in cement is present as Fe3+-ions and occupies two octahedral positions, with close isomer shifts and quadrupole splittings. Iron in fly ash is present as Fe2+and Fe3+, and the Mössbauer spectra display three doublets—two for Fe3+in octahedral coordination and one for Fe2+. A third doublet was registered in the hydrating plain cement pastes after the 5th day, due to Fe3+in tetrahedral coordination in the structure of the newly formed monosulphate aluminate. In cement pastes with fly ash, the doublet of tetrahedral iron is formed earlier because the quantity of ettringite and portlandite is low and more monosulphate crystallizes. No Fe(OH)3phase forms during hydration of C4AF. The fly ash displays pozzolanic properties, which lead to lowering of the portlandite quantity in the cement mixtures and increasing of the high temperature products.

Using high temperature fly ash for his pozzolan properties to cement composite production is known a few years ago. New ways combustion of fossil fuels also creates a new type of fly ash, named fluidized bed combustion fly ash. However, this fly ash has same pozzolan properties as has high temperature fly ash, this type is not using for production of cement composites. Fluidized bed combustion fly ash has highly variable chemical composition but usually it has a higher amount of free CaO together with sulphates. This higher amounts of free CaO after mixing of fluidized bed combustion fly ash with water to some extent becomes an activator for the beginning of the pozzolanic reaction, during which is consumed the extinguished CaO. If there is also present high temperature fly ash in cement composite, it could be accelerated his pozzolanic reaction in the same manner using a fluidized bed combustion fly ash. In this experiment was tested a synergy effect in the use of fluidized bed combustion fly ash with high temperature fly ash as an additive. The experiment was carried out on cement pastes that have been studied in particular the progress of hydration processes, pointing to a possible acceleration of pozzolanic reactions of both types of fly ash.

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of micropowders content on the compressive strength of cement-based composite pastes. Granular ground blast slag (GGBS), grade I fly ash (FAI), ultra fine fly ash (UFA) and silica fume (SF) were selected as the micropowders. The compressive strength was tested after 3d, 7d and 28d curing. Results show that the paste containing both UFA and SF has the highest packing density and corresponding excellent compressive strength. The higher the packing density is, the better the compacting and filling effect of micropowders will be, which contributes to developing higher compressive strength of cement-based pastes.

Dry Shrinkage

This paper reports the drying shrinkage and compressive strength results of cement pastes with fly ash and silica fume. In this study, Portland cement (PC) was used as the basic cementitious material. Fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) were used as cement replacement materials at levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% , 40%, 35%, 25%, and 15% by weight of the total cementitious material, respectively. The water/cement (PC + FA + SF) ratios (w/c) was 0.28 by weight. The samples produced from fresh pastes were demoulded after a day; then they were cured at 20 ±1°C with 50 ± 3% relative humidity (RH) until the samples were used for drying shrinkage and compressive strength measurement at various ages. The results show that drying shrinkage and compressive strength increase with increasing SF content, and the optimum composition of blended cement pastes is the cement paste with 30% fly ash and 10% silica fume, which possesses lower drying shrinkage values than that of plain cement paste and higher early age strength than that of blended cement pastes with fly ash. Furthermore, a linear relationship is established between compressive strength and drying shrinkage. By comparing the development of compressive strength and the drying shrinkage deformations, it appears possible to predict the drying shrinkage according to the acquired compressive strength.

Physical, chemical and mechanical properties of high belite cement (HBC) blended with high pulverized fly ash (HPFA) with stable ratio of silica fume (SF) in comparison with Portland cement (OPC) were investigated. Results showed that the water of consistency and setting times (Initial and final) tended to increase with the increase of HPFA content. The bulk density and compressive strength were also improved and enhanced with the increase of HPFS content at all hydration times, but only up to 15 % HPFA, and then decreased with further increase.  However, the total porosity slightly decreased, but started to increase with further increase of >15 % HPFA. The free lime content of the pure OPC and HBC gradually were increased as the hydration times progressed up to 90 days, while those of blended cements increased only up to 7 days and then decreased onward. The results were confirmed by measuring the heat of hydration and ultrasonic pulse velocity for the optimum cement pastes comparing with those of both OPC and HBC. The heat of hydration of the optimum cement pastes was decreased at all hydration times and become lower than those of OPC and HBC. The ultrasonic pulse velocity test (USPV) proved that the uniformity and quality of the matrix of the hardened cement pastes are good with no cracks.
