AbstractThe effects of curing conditions on the chloride permeability of concrete with various replacements of Portland cement by a flyash and a blastfurnace slag was investigated. In order to relate the porosity and pore size distribution of concretes to their chloride permeability, mercury intrusion porosimetry measurements were also conducted. The results showed that exposure of concretes to a relatively low humidity at early ages increased their chloride permeability. It was also found that the chloride permeability of concrete increased proportionally with increasing volume of pores larger than 0.1 μm in diameter.

ABSTRACTPastes of a portland cement (60%) blended with a granulated blastfurnace slag (40%) were examined, principally by SEM with EDX analysis. Reaction rims around slag particles and relicts of fully reacted slag particles had compositions compatible with mixtures, in varying proportions, of C-S-H having Si/Ca -0.62 and a phase of the hydrotalcite family having Al/Mg -0.38. Calculations taking into account relevant densities and water contents indicated that replacement of the slag by its in situ hydration products entails little or no change in the numbers of Mg and 0 atoms per unit volume, but that substantial proportions of the Ca, Si and Al are released and an equivalent amount of H gained. In other respects, the microstructures qualitatively resembled those of pure portland cement pastes of similar ages, but less CH was formed and the C-S-H not formed in situ from the slag had a Si/Ca ratio of 0.56, higher than that of 0.50 to 0.53 found in the absence of slag. None of the individual phases in the slag cement pastes showed significant compositional variation with time in the 28 day to 14 month period studied. The relative amounts of Ca, Si and Al expelled from the slag are such that, in order to form C-S-H and AFm phase, more Ca is required. It is obtained partly at the expense of CH formation, and partly through increase in the Si/Ca ratio of the C-S-H formed from the clinker phases. Mass balance, volume composition and bound water content were calculated for the 14 month old paste and compared with corresponding results for the pure portland cement.

The authors suggest a solution of the problem of improving the quality of oil and gas wells cementing in the high temperature intervals by using the blast-furnace wastes as granulated slags introduced in the plugging material composition.
