Early Strength

This study sought to examine the performance design of concrete mix proportions to ensure chloride resistance and early strength with respect to C35 (35 MPa), which is the minimum compressive strength class of concrete used in a marine environment. For the proposed concrete mixture, C24 (24 MPa) was selected and binders for concrete were manufactured using a blend of OPC (ordinary Portland cement), EPC (early Portland cement), and GGBS (ground granulated blast-furnace slag). The results of the experiment confirmed that the combined use of EPC and GGBS greatly improve the early-strength development and chloride resistance of concrete. An analysis revealed that the time for removal of forms can be reduced by 5–9 h from the aspect of early concrete strength. Moreover, in terms of construction productivity, EPC and GGBS were reduced by up to 16.39 h/cycle compared to other concretes. Regarding economic and environmental impacts, EPC and GGBS were more effective than C35 concrete. This study is significant as its findings help make it possible to examine the most economical concrete mix design in relation to strength development according to the application of EPC, GGBS, and PC-based admixtures.

This study examines effects of cement fineness and chemical admixtures of early strength agents on the early strength development of concrete. Three cement types were selected, namely ASTM type-I ordinary Portland cement (OPC), fineness ordinary Portland cement (FOPC), and ASTM type-III early Portland cement (EPC), and the mixing proportions of concrete were set by adding a triethanolamine-based chemical admixture to FOPC. The evaluation items considered in this study included raw material analysis, compressive strength, and maturity (D∙h). The time required for the development of concrete strength of 5 MPa in the three cement types was estimated and compared. The results revealed that using FOPC enhances the strength development of concrete owing to its higher fineness and SO3 content compared to OPC. In addition, it has been observed that using both FOPC and TCA yields a similar performance to that observed using EPC, in light of the improved early strength development at low temperatures.

Class F Fly Ash

This study, third in the series, following from ground limestone and Class F fly ash, evaluates, as a cement constituent, the effect of using ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) on the strength development of concrete, and consequently its embodied carbon dioxide (CO2e). The paper has been built from systematically analysing, evaluating and modelling the extensive data-matrix developed, having 85,099 data points, from the information sourced from 663 studies published in English, during 1974 to 2020, by 1,672 authors, working in 718 institutions in 49 countries, globally. It is shown that, at a given water/cement ratio, in comparison to Portland cement (PC), the use of GGBS results in a reduction in 28-day concrete strength, which increases with GGBS content, at a rate determined by the strength of concrete, GGBS fineness, and curing of concrete. It is also shown that, as to achieve a 28-day design strength, a lower water/cement ratio is required with a PC/GGBS blended cement than PC, this will reduce the actual CO2e savings that can be realised with the use of GGBS as cement constituent in manufacturing concrete. Finally, it is shown that GGBS is more effective in lowering CO2e of concrete than FA and GLS.

Early Strength

The article reports a laboratory experimental programme that investigated effect of metakaolin on the early strength of concrete made with ternary combinations of Portland cement (CEM I) with ground granulated blast slag (GGBS) and metakaolin (MK). The various level of cement combinations (65%CEM I+30%GGBS+5%MK, 45%CEM I+45%GGBS+10%MK and 45%CEM I+40%GGBS+15%MK) was examined in comparison to CEM I and equivalent GGBS binary concretes for up to 28 days. Results show that the reduction in early strength is greater with the higher cement replacement level. However, the ternary concrete containing 15%MK has minor increase in early strength compared to those with 10%MK but a significant increase in strength is examined at later age (28 days). It is concluded that the presence of MK compensates the adverse effect of GGBS at early strength development and improves the strength at later ages.

Blended concrete has later strength development with long maturity strength development. An accelerator is thus needed to enhance the early strength development of concrete. This paper shows the combination of ground palm oil fuel ash and eggshell powder that was designed for later and early strength development, respectively. Two types of eggshell powder were utilised in concrete: uncarbonised eggshell powder and decarbonised eggshell powder. The study was initiated with compression test for concrete curing at age 1, 3, 7, and 28 days followed by rapid evaluation test of setting time to investigate the preliminary performance between materials. The results revealed decarbonised eggshell powder as a high accelerator that can improve the early age of concrete strength development. Meanwhile, despite showing the best performance, uncarbonised eggshell powder is a very low accelerator thus not fit the purpose. In conclusion, the combination of ground palm oil fuel ash (rich with silica oxide) and decarbonised eggshell powder (rich with calcium oxide) provided dual function, where ground palm oil fuel ash and decarbonised eggshell powder took later and early strength development, respectively. The combination between silica oxide and calcium oxide in cementitious materials has potential to be utilised to enhance the early age of a blended concrete strength development.

One-part or “just add water” geopolymer is a cementitious material, which is friendly to environment and users in applications. However, the mechanical behavior of the soft soil stabilized by one-part geopolymer is not well acknowledged. In this study, soft clay was stabilized with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash (FA)-based geopolymer, which is a mixture of solid aluminosilicate precursor (Al-Si raw materials: GGBFS and FA), solid alkali activator, and water. The objective was to adopt one-part geopolymer as an alternative soil binder to completely replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) for stabilizing the soft clay and evaluate the effect of the factors (i.e., GBFS/FA ratio in Al-Si precursor, activator/Al-Si precursor ratio, and water/binder ratio) that influenced the early strength. Results showed that the increase of the FA content in the Al-Si precursor increased the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) values significantly through the geopolymerization process. The highest UCS values were achieved with 90% GGBFS to 10% FA in the precursor when the activator/precursor and water/binder ratio is 0.15 and 0.7, respectively. The UCS values of geopolymer-stabilized clay could reach 1.5 MPa at 14 days at ambient temperature, which is much higher than that of OPC-stabilized clay. The microstructure and mineralogy analyses indicated that the prolific hydration products, such as calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), calcium aluminum hydrate (C-A-H), and calcium aluminum silicate hydrate (C-A-S-H), contributed greatly to strengthen the soft clay by forming the soil skeleton and infilling among clay particles, while sodium aluminosilicate (N-A-S-H) gel is only served to fill the part of porosities in the soil and cannot effectively enhance the UCS of the one-part geopolymer-stabilized soft clay. This paper results suggested that one-part GGBFS-FA–based geopolymers have the potential to replace OPC in the manufacture of stabilized soft clay.

In order to improve the early age strength of ordinary Portland cement-based materials, many early strength agents were applied in different conditions. Different from previous research, the nano calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) particles used in this study were synthesized through the chemical reaction of CaO, SiO2, and H2O under 120 °C using the hydrothermal method, and the prepared nano C-S-H particles were highly crystalized. The influences of different amounts of nano C-S-H particles (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3% by weight of cement) on the setting time, compressive strength, and hydration heat of cement paste were studied. The hydration products and microstructure of the cement paste with different additions of nano C-S-H particles were investigated through thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests. The results show that the nano C-S-H particles could be used as an early strength agent, and the early strength of cement paste can be increased by up to 43% through accelerating the hydration of tricalcium silicate (C3S). However, the addition of more than 2% nano C-S-H particles was unfavorable to the later strength development due to more space being left during the initial accelerated hydration process. It is suggested that the suitable content of the nano C-S-H particles is 0.5%−1% by weight of cement.

Emission Of Greenhouse Gases

The World Earth Summits in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Kyoto, Japan in 1992 and 1997 respectively, have made it clear that uncontrolled increased emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere is no longer environmentally and socially acceptable for sustainable development. The increase of cement production will affect the environmental preservation, natural conservation and increase the CO2emission, which is one of the primarily gases that contribute to the global warming. The use of ground granulated blast furnace slag (ggbs) to replace a part of Portland cement in concrete can reduce the CO2emission. It also can provide significant benefits to concrete properties, such as increase the workability and durability of concrete. The early strength of ggbs concretes that had been cured at standard curing temperature (20°C) were slower than that of concretes with Portland cement only, cured at the same temperature. However, there are some indications show that curing the ggbs concrete at elevated temperatures will significantly enhanced the early age strength of the concrete. The objectives of this research are to find out the effect of curing temperatures and levels replacement of Portland cement by ggbs on the strength development of concretes. The levels of ggbs to replace Portland cement were 0, 20, 35, 50 and 70%, while the curing temperatures were 20°C, 50°C and adiabatic curing. The concrete cubes were tested at ages: 6 and 12 hours, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 365 days. The results showed that curing the ggbs concrete at temperatures higher than standard curing temperature, increased the strength development of the concrete at early ages.
