Abstract Through using cube resisting compression test, fracture properties and micro-structure, the mechanical properties of high volume ground slag concrete under low temperature are studied in this paper. The results show that low temperature can improve the compressive strength of high volume ground slag concrete. And strength increased with the decreased of temperature. Low temperature can also improve the fracture energy and fracture toughness. Not only can ground slag reduce the content of calcium hydroxide in hardened cement paste, but ground slag can improve the compactness of hardened cement paste, reduce porosity and improve the strength of the interface.

AbstractThe pore-structure strongly influences the carpressive strength of hardened cement paste (hcp) and other porous materials, as well as other mechanical properties. The simplest but most currently used expression representing the relationship between the pore-structure and compressive strength is fram Balshin: σ = σ0 (l-P)A, in which only the total porosity P is involved as a single parameter and σ0 and A are empirical constants. The influence of pore size distribution and pore shapes etc. are not considered.The authors introduce second parameter w - the factor of relative specific surface area of the pores other than the total porosity P into consideration and a new expression is proposed:σc=K11-p/1+2p(K2(1-p))K3w+K4 all the constants K1 - K4 can be determined experimentally. By using of this expression the new information relating the influence of pore-structure on the caopressive strength of hcp can be predicted.

Initial Hypothesis

AbstractMechanical properties of any material, including hardened cement paste, are assumed to be controlled by its microstructure. An attempt has been made here to establish a link between bulk fracture parameters of hardened cement paste and its microstructure. Paste microstructure has been varied by changing the initial w/c ratio, curing time and curing temperature, and by addition of chemicals to change the calcium hydroxide morphology. It has been found that, like compressive strength, fracture parameters depend directly on porosity. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, CH morphology was found to have no effect on the fracture parameters.

Sulphoaluminate Cement

In this paper, preparation and mechanical properties of Alite-calcium barium sulphoaluminate (Alite-C2.75B1.25A3 ) cement concrete were studied. The results showed the compressive strength of Alite-C2.75B1.25A3 cement concrete was much higher than that of Portland cement concrete, especially the early-age compressive strength. The 24-hour compressive strength of Alite-C2.75B1.25A3 cement concrete could reach 22.81Mpa for w/c=0.45, 17.29Mpa for w/c=0.50 and 17.04Mpa for w/c=0.55 respectively. They were about 50 to 65 percent higher than those of Portland cement concrete. The 7-day compressive strength could reach about 80 to 90 percent of 28-day strength for Alite-C2.75B1.25A3 cement concrete. The 28-day strength could reach 55.85Mpa for w/c=0.45, 48.01Mpa for w/c=0.50 and 44.21Mpa for w/c=0.55 respectively. The results of SEM showed the interfaces between the hardened cement paste and aggregates in Alite-C2.75B1.25A3 cement concrete were more compact than those in Portland cement concrete. Distribution of particulate bulk was more uniformity and a majority of clinker particles was wrapped by hydrated gel in Alite-C2.75B1.25A3 concrete. And, the structure of Alite-C2.75B1.25A3 cement concrete was much more compact than that of Portland cement concrete.

Micro Morphology

The primary objective of this paper was to study the mechanical properties of the cement stabilized gravel by different compact method which added rubber particles by using macroscopic and microscopic test. Through test of compression, relationships of mechanical properties of samples were studied. Pore structure and fractal characteristic of mixture was analyzed quantitatively using mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), scanning electron microscope (SEM) was applied to analyze the micro-morphology of samples. The tests results showed that the compressive strength of samples which prepared by using vibrating method was greater than that by static pressure method. Compressive strength of samples from vibrating method or static pressure method decreased with the rubber particles volume fraction increase. MIP tests showed that the mean pore diameter and porosity of mixture increased from about 70nm to 250nm and 9% to 24% with the rubber particles content increasing, respectively. SEM tests showed that the interface bonding between sand and hardened cement paste was better than that of between rubber particles and hardened cement paste.

Hardened Cement Paste

In this study,influences of latex and mixing procedure on flexural strength, compressive strength, elastic modulus and apparent fracture energy of hardened cement paste mixed with polycarboxylate (PC) as superplasticizer were analyzed. The results show that, the apparent density of fresh latex modified cement paste (LMCP) and the compressive strength of the hardened LMCP were reduced 1%-8% and 0-28% respectively compared with the control, while the flexural strength and apparent fracture energy were increased 11%-70% and 22%-157% respectively. In generally, the mixing procedure had gentle effect on the mechanical properties of harden LMCP with the same mp/mc, while the different mp/mc and latex types had greater impact. The amounts of polymer adsorbed changed by mixing procedure and had significantly effect on the properties fresh LMCP while very little on the harden LMCP.

Abstract In this work, the phase composition (relative fractions of monoclinic m-ZrO2, tetragonal t-ZrO2, and cubic c-ZrO2 phases) and mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness, compressive strength) of alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) ceramics, with an addition of silica were investigated. Calcium oxide was used as a stabilizer for the zirconia tetragonal phase. It was shown that CaO-ATZ+SiO2 ceramics demonstrate increased resistance to low-temperature degradation. The plasticity signs at room temperature were found due to the SiO2 addition to CaO-ATZ ceramics. A yield plateau appears in the uniaxial compression diagram at 5 mol. % SiO2 concentration. It is hypothesized that discovered plasticity is due to the increased t→m transformability.

White Cement

The compressive strength of ultrafine white cement samples at three ages: 3, 7 and 28 days and micro appearance of hydrates were tested. The influence of the usage of superplasticizers on the compressive strength of ultrafine white cement paste and hydrates were investigated. The results indicated that the 28d compressive strength of ultrafine white cement with 3% naphthalene based superplasticizers added was 92.9 MPa, 22.9% of that of pure ultrafine white cements (75.6 MPa). The addition of superplasticizers was beneficial to the density of white cement paste. A large number of hydrates (AFt, C-H-S, and so on) were generated in the capillary pores, which would improve the structure of capillary pores of hardened cement paste, increase the density and strength.
