AbstractNatural gypsum can degenerate into hemihydrate during cement clinker grinding which changes the physical and chemical properties of cement hydration, affecting therefore the fresh and hardened properties of cement based materials. Cement systems containing a constant total amount of calcium sulfate (4%) with relative proportions of hemihydrate and natural gypsum were considered. Rheological measurements were executed on an Anton Paar MCR51 rheometer to evaluate the flow properties of cement pastes. Results show that, the yield stress and the plastic viscosity of cement pastes were affected when the degeneration of natural gypsum exceeded 50%. Above this concentration, the yield stress remarkably increased and a variation in plastic viscosity of about 50% was observed. Using TG-DSC techniques, it was shown that, the amount of formed ettringite could not explain these rheological changes. However, centrifugational packing and SEM-SE measurements confirmed that, more than the amount of ettringite precipitated, ettringite morphology plays a major role in controlling the yield stress and plastic viscosity of fresh cement pastes.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been used in various fields to tackle applications difficult for conventional manufacturing. To realize the full potential of this technology in the transportation sector, it is imperative to identify suitable tests and mixtures for printing “inks” made of mortar. In this study, several conventional and non-conventional tests on mortars and cement pastes were conducted. This work highlights the correlation between the results of slump test and the deformation test that indicates the comportment of the mixture under a stack of printed layers. Moreover, a strong connection between yield stress and mini-slump is observed, demonstrating a simplification of the testing procedure, and a link between the mortar and the cement paste is developed. In the printing ink design phase, this association enables the prediction of flowability. The yield stress and the final radius of the mini-slump tests were very well correlated for the admixture tested. The use of the mini-slump test simplifies the testing procedure and allows for quicker formulations of admixtures in the printing ink.

This paper studied rheological properties of fresh cement pastes and adsorption behavior of superplasticizers which are FDN-5R, a type of naphthalene sulfonic acid based condensate, 3350, a type of polycarboxylate superplasticizer, by R/S-SST rheometer and UV Visible Spectrometer. Results show that superplasticizers can reduce the flocculation structure of fresh cement paste obviously and reduce the yield stress and apparent viscosity. The turn of thixotropic property is: blank sample > FDN-5R > 3350, especially the sample with 3350’s curve of upward and downward almost match together and the thixotropic property drives to zero. Shearing stress, apparent viscosity and thixotropic property are decreased, adsorption capacity is higher by the superplasticizer adding. The bigger effectual adsorption, the better dispersive action of flocculation and rheological properties of fresh cement pastes. Therefore, we can understand the effect mechanism and properties of superplasticizer much better by combining the molecular structure, adsorption capacity, dispersive action and rheological properties.
