The effectiveness of lithium nitrate as a chemical additive which reduces the negative effects of alkali aggregate reaction was subject to research by scientists in many centres around the world. The literature data on the impact of lithium nitrate on the physical and mechanical properties of cements are rare. Without a precise definition of the impact of lithium nitrate on the cement properties, it is extremely hard to determine its real advantages in practical usage. In this paper, studies were undertaken to assess the impact of LiNO3 on the properties of pastes and mortars with Portland cement. The rate of hydration of the cement with lithium additive was examined by isothermal calorimetry, measurements of setting time and phase composition of cement pastes in the initial stages of hydration. The influence of the admixture on the compressive strength development of mortars after 2, 7 and 28 days of hardening was also researched. Results indicate that lithium nitrate accelerates the early hydration of Portland cement, affecting the precipitation of hydration products. The compressive strength of mortars with lithium admixture decrease after 28 days, although 2 an 7-day strength were greater than the control mortars.

Abstract. The influence of the Bauhemi organo-mineral complex on the physical and mechanical properties of slag-containing Portland cements has been investigated. The composition of the organo-mineral complex has been optimized according to the criteria of setting time and strength. It has been shown that the expansion of the beginning of setting and its end is positively influenced by the presence of the plasticizer MC-PowerFlow2695 from 0.4 to 0.8% and the organo-mineral complex CentrilitNC and CentrilitFumeSX in the amount from 3 to 6.5%, which with a simultaneous increase in the slag content from 0 to 30% in the composition of Portland cement, the start / end time of setting increases from 150/190 to 185/250 minutes. It is noted that at the age of 7 days, the introduction of an organomineral complex of the composition MC-PowerFlow2695 from 0.2 to 3.5%, CentrilitNC from 4.5 to 7% and CentrilitFumeSX from 3 to 6.5% contributes to a slight decrease in strength from 3.86/13.95% with a simultaneous increase in the slag content in the composition of Portland cement in the amount of 10 and 30% compared with no additive Portland cement. At the grade age, at the noted concentrations of the Bauhemi organo-mineral complex, the strength of Portland cement with 10% slag increases by 5.4%, and with a slag content of 30%, it decreases by 9.73% compared with no additive Portland cement. Using the method of superposition of response functions, the optimal range of permissible concentrations of the components of the Bauhemi organo-mineral complex, affecting the stated criteria, was determined when the slag content in Portland cement was 10 and 30%, namely: MC-PowerFlow 2695 from 0.28 to 0.5%, CentrilitNC from 4 to 6.8% and CentrilitFumeSX from 3.07 to 6.61%. Further research will be aimed at studying the effect of this complex on the physical and mechanical properties with a slag content of 50 and 70% in the composition of Portland cement.


It is established that physical and mechanical properties of Portland cement, including setting time and strength, correspond to mark PC 500 D0 and meet technical requirements of the corresponding standard. However, they have increased dispersion ability and water consumption. It has been determined that the main Portland cement clinker minerals (C3S, β-C2S, C3A and C4AF) in cement are represented as solid solutions as a result of the presence of impurities in their structure.

The object of the study is the effect of the introduction of a mineral additive (Ssp = 900 m2/kg) of the fraction (0.315–5 m) of the screening out of crushing concrete scrap into Portland cement for the production of various building products and structures. A fraction of concrete scrap of 0.315–5 mm is used in the work, since the X-ray phase analysis of various fractions of concrete scrap shows that these fractions have a rational content of non-hydrated particles of C3S and C2S. It is proved that the use of finely ground concrete scrap (Ssp = 900 m2/kg) as a mineral additive in Portland cement increaseINFLUENCE OF FINE-DISPERSED ADDITIVE FROM CONCRETE SCRAP ON STRUCTURE FORMATION OF PORTLANDCEMENT s the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. Comparative physical and mechanical indicators of the hardening of composite binders indicate that the most stable results with a uniform increase in strength is a composition with 5 % mineral additive, with an increase in strength from 2 to 7 days by 36 % and from 7 to 28 days by 46 %. It is found that the most rational are the compositions with 5 % and 10 % mineral additives providing an increase in the strength of the samples by 16% compared to the control composition. Due to the high dispersion, the mineral additive from concrete scrap acts as additional crystallization centers during the hydration of Portland cement, which leads to the creation of a skeleton coral-like structure, which additionally overgrows with submicroscopic crystals. With a specific surface area of 900 m2/kg, the best conditions are created for the formation of the primary frame and its further overgrowth with various crystalline calcium hydrates, which provide optimal density and strength.

This article is focused on cement based composites. Two cements differing in mineralogical composition are utilised as main binder in composites mixtures. Results of measured physical parameters of studied materials are presented. For the sake of comparison, a reference material with Portland cement was also prepared. Basic physical properties (measured by water vacuum saturation method and by helium pycnometry), characterizations of pore system (determined by mercury porosimetry) and mechanical properties are the matter of this study. Composites show various open porosity; the results of open porosity of materials containing special cements show higher values, in comparison with composite based on Portland cement. This fact of course influences other material characteristics - mainly mechanical properties.

Low temperature negatively affects the engineering performance of cementitious materials and hinders the construction productivity. Previous studies have already demonstrated that TiO2 nanoparticles can accelerate cement hydration and enhance the strength development of cementitious materials at room temperature. However, the performance of cementitious materials containing TiO2 nanoparticles at low temperatures is still unknown. In this study, specimens were prepared through the replacement of cement with 1 wt.%, 2 wt.%, 3 wt.%, 4 wt.%, and 5 wt.% TiO2 nanoparticles and cured under temperatures of 0°C, 5°C, 10°C, and 20°C for specific ages. Physical and mechanical properties of the specimens were evaluated through the setting time test, compressive strength test, flexural strength test, hydration degree test, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to examine the performance of cementitious materials with and without TiO2 nanoparticles at various curing temperatures. It was found that low temperature delayed the process of cement hydration while TiO2 nanoparticles had a positive effect on accelerating the cement hydration and reducing the setting time in terms of the results of the setting time test, hydration degree test, and strength test, and the specimen with the addition of 2 wt.% TiO2 nanoparticles showed the superior performance. Refined pore structure in the MIP tests, more mass loss of CH in TGA, intense peak appearance associated with the hydration products in XRD analysis, and denser microstructure in SEM demonstrated that the specimen with 2 wt.% TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited preferable physical and mechanical properties compared with that without TiO2 nanoparticles under various curing temperatures.

Circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) fly ash is a promising admixture for construction and building materials due to its pozzolanic activity and self-cementitious property. In this study, CFBC fly ash and coal-fired fly ash were used in Portland cement to investigate the pozzolanic and cementitious characteristics of CFBC fly ash and the properties of cement-based composites. Tests show that CFBC fly ash has the potential instead of cementing materials and as an alternative of pozzolan. In fresh specimens, the initial setting time of mortars increases with the increasing amount of cement replacement by CFBC fly ash and coal-fire fly ash. In harden specimens, adding CFBC fly ash to replace OPC reduces the compressive strength. Meanwhile, CFBC fly ash would results in a higher length change when adding over 30%. Based on the results, the amount of CFBC fly ash replacement cement was recommended to be limited below 20%.
