The hydration degree assessment of slag blended cement pastes with three different replacement levels (10, 20 and 40%) and two finenesses (400 and 500 m2/kg) was investigated. The hydration degree was evaluated by using a modified TG method suggested by Deboucha et al., 2017. This method builds on the activity coefficient concept, which makes it possible to assume the amount of mineral additives that contribute to hydration reactions as well as cement. Results showed that the efficiency of blast furnace slag in developing hydration degree was conditioned by its level of replacement and fineness.

AbstractCaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 glass-ceramics with diopside as the main crystalline phase were prepared by melting blast furnace slag obtained from Baotou Iron and Steel Company. The effect of heat treatment on the crystallization behavior of glass-ceramics, containing a large proportion of melted blast furnace slag, was studied by means of differential thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The optimum heat-treatment regime was obtained by orthogonal experimental results for glass-ceramics in which blast furnace slag comprised 70% of the composition and 1% Cr2O3 and 4% TiO2 were used as nucleating agents. The nucleation temperature was 750°C for 2.5 h and the crystallization temperature was 930°C for 1 h. Under this regime, the performance of the glass-ceramic was better than that of other groups in the orthogonal experiment.

The preliminary study is targeted at the design of different mixtures of biological shielding concrete for later investigation of the effects of nuclear radiation and heat on its durability. The article deals with the investigation of the properties of cement pastes prepared from two different cement types and the selection of the proper binder for biological shielding concrete. Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R was selected as the representative binder of commonly used binder for shielding concrete (e. g. in the Czech nuclear power plant Temelín) and Portland blast furnace slag cement CEM II/B-S 32.5 was chosen for its anticipated better performance. Mechanical properties and volume changes in time were studied on two sets of samples – stored in laboratory conditions, resp. in water. Results revealed higher flexural strength for pastes made from CEM II/B-S 32.5 for both storage conditions and also slightly higher compressive strength. Higher differences between the values of single samples measured in time referred to a postponed hydration process of the blended cement, which is important for slower heat evolution and lower shrinkage. The measurement of volume changes proved the expected better performance of CEM II/B-S 32.5 in terms of shrinkage. From the obtained results, the Portland blast furnace slag cement CEM II/B-S 32.5 was evaluated as the better alternative for biological shielding concrete binder.
