Fly ash (FA) and granular blast-furnace slag (GBFS) are usual mineral admixtures to conventional concrete, and their contents substituted for Portland cement definitely affect development rate of strength of concrete. C30 and C60 concrete samples with FA and/or GBFS were prepared to study the influence of substitution content of the mineral admixtures on 3 d, 7 d and 28 d strength. The results reveal that the development rate of strength in period from 3 d to 7 d gets slow with increasing content of mineral admixtures except for concrete with only GBFS less than 20%. In the case of substituting FA as the only mineral admixture for part of cement, the development rate of strength of C30 concrete in period from 7 d to 28 d keeps roughly constant even that of C60 concrete increases. When substituting mineral admixtures in the presence of GBFS for cement within experimental range, the development rate of strength in period from 7 d to 28 d gets fast with increasing substitution content. The enhancing effect of combining FA and GBFS occurs in period from 7 d to 28 d for both C30 and C60 concretes (FA+GBFS≤40%), even occurs in period from 3 d to 7 d for C60 concrete. Based on 7 d strength and the development rate, 28 d strength of concrete can be predicted accurately.

Under high and super high speed, the oil film of a journal bearing is easy to crack and then becomes cavitation. The existence of cavitation has a great effect on the work performance of the bearing. The cavitation mechanism of a spiral oil wedge journal bearing was investigated on the experimental rig. The effects of rotating speed and supply pressure on the cavitation shape of oil film and the number of cavitation strip in the rupture zone were analyzed. The results show that the cavitation shape of oil film is a long strip. The number of cavitation strip increases when supply pressure has been improved, and the location of oil outlet must be designed optimally.

The strength, expansion and amount of scaling of concrete with compound mineral admixture (CMA) from steel slag, granulated blast furnace slag and fly ash were studied. The result shows that damage by crystallization press from sulfate attack when concrete was exposed to sulfate environments under wetting–drying alternation is much larger than that from sulfate chemical attack. Adding CMA to concrete could reduce the damage from expansion of concrete caused by sulfate chemical attack, but the resistance of concrete to damage by crystallization press from sulfate attack was remarkably reduced.

Sulfate attack is one of several chemical and physical mechanisms of concrete deterioration. In actual situation, concrete structures always suffer from the coupled effects of multifactor such as wet-dry cycle and sulfate attack when exposed to tidal area or groundwater level change environment. Partial replacement of cement with mineral admixture is one of the efficient methods for improving concrete resistance against sulfate attack. In this regard, the resistance of concrete with fly ash and slag to sulfate attack was investigated by wet-dry cycle method. The degree of sulfate attack on specimens after different cycles was observed using scanning electron microscopy. The results of compressive strength and percentage of compressive strength evolution factor at various cycling times show an increase in the sulfate resistance of concrete with 60% of fly ash and slag than that only with 40% fly ash. The microstructural study indicates that the primary cause of deterioration of concrete under wet-dry cycle condition is swelling of the sulfate crystal rather chemical attack.

The addition of expansive agents could overcome the main disadvantages of raw concrete including high brittleness and low tensile strength. Few studies have investigated the early hydration kinetics of expansive cementitious binders, though the findings from the early hydration kinetics are helpful for understanding their technical performances. In this study, mixtures of 3CaO•3Al2O3•CaSO4 and CaSO4 (i.e., ZY-type™ expansive agent) with different proportions of mineral admixtures (e.g., fly ash and slag) were added into cement pastes to investigate the early hydration kinetics mechanism of expansive cementitious binders. Early hydration heat evolution rate and cumulative hydration heat were measured by isothermal calorimeter. Kinetic parameters were estimated based on the Krstulovic–Dabic model and Knudsen equations. Mechanical performances of expansive cementitious binders were tested in order to evaluate if they met the basic requirements of shrinkage-compensating materials in technical use. The early hydration heat released from cementitious binders containing ZY-type™ expansive agent was much greater than that released by pure cement, supporting the idea that addition of the expansive agent would improve the reaction of cement. The early hydration kinetic rates were decreased due to the reactions of the mineral admixture (e.g., fly ash or slag) and the ZY-type™ expansive agent in the cement system. The hydration reaction of cementitious binders containing ZY-type™ expansive agent obeyed the Krstulovic–Dabic model well. Three processes are involved in the hydration reaction of cementitious binders containing ZY-type™ expansive agent. These are nucleation and crystal growth (NG), interactions at phase boundaries (I), and diffusion (D). The 14-day expansion rates of cementitious binders containing ZY-type™ expansive agent are in the range of 2.0 × 10−4 to 3.5 × 10−4, which could meet the basic requirements of anti-cracking performances in technical use according to Chinese industry standard JGJ/T 178-2009. This study could provide an insight into understanding the effects of expansive agents on the hydration and mechanical performances of cementitious binders.

The hydration degree of binders and cement is investigated by measuring the adiabatic- temperature rise of concrete at low water-binder ratio with different fly-ash content. The results denote that, with a constant water-binder ratio, both of the hydration degree of binders and that of cement decrease with the increasing fly-ash content in the early stage. In a later stage, however, the hydration degree of cement increases with the increasing fly-ash content and the hydration degree of binders peaks when the fly-ash content is 35%. Fly ash is one of the mineral admixture of which high-performance concrete is made up. It brings down the rise of concrete temperature significantly and helps solve the problems of shrinkage and crack of concrete structure. Because the hydration mechanism in common concrete is different from that in concrete with low water-binder ratio, and the hydration environment is different between concrete and cement pastes, to determine the adiabatic-temperature rise of concrete directly conforms to the actual situation. The adiabatic-temperature rise, adiabatic-temperature-rise rate, hydration degree of both binders and cement are investigated by measuring adiabatic-temperature rise of concrete with different fly-ash content.

Usage of mineral admixture and chemical admixture in concrete or mortar is a usual solution to reach full compaction, particularly where reinforcement blockage and lack of skilled labor happen. In this paper effect of mineral admixtures (Carbon-free fly ash, hereafter CfFA, and normal fly ash) on fresh properties and rheology of mortar have been investigated. As a result, it was confirmed that CfFA increased significantly the fluidity and air content of mortar in comparison to normal fly ash, both in 15% and 30% replacement; however, the flow loss and air stability within one hour were almost equal. In addition, the initial setting time has also been affected by variation of materials. The two mixing of 30% and 15% of CfFA had a shorter setting time in comparison to the mortar with normal fly ash. Furthermore, CfFA based mortar had a great influence on rheology of mortar. Compared to normal fly ash, CfFA Considerably decreased the plastic Viscosity and increased the productivity of the mortar, both in non-vibrated and vibrated condition, particularly those with 30% replacement.

This paper is focused on the method for improving capability of anti-sulfate corrosion of concrete. Based on the performance characteristics of mineral admixture, propose a method that mixing concrete with complex multi-mineral admixture to improve the effect of anti-sulfate corrosion. Finally, the ability of anti-sulfate corrosion and anti-dry-wet cycle, in different case, is studied and compared. The results show that concrete mixed with complex multi-mineral admixture is advantageous to improve the anti-sulfate corrosion effects of the concrete. The proportion of mineral admixtures has significant influence on the anti-sulfate corrosion effect. As the silica fume and slag content increased, the fly ash content decreased, the ability of anti-sulfate corrosion enhanced.

the influence of mixing amount of mineral admixture, volume content of fine and coarse aggregate have been systematical studied on the workability, mechanical properties and volume stability of self-compacting concrete. Test results showed that with the fly ash content increased, the workability of self-compacting concrete improved significantly, early compressive strength decreased, but increase rate of later strength improved remarkably, and the mixing amount of fly ash inhibited significantly the dry shrinkage of self-compacting concrete; with the volume content of coarse aggregate increased, the workability of self-compacting concrete decreased significantly, but the volume stability of self-compacting concrete improved obviously, thus the optimum volume content of coarse aggregate of self-compacting concrete was range from 0.30 to 0.34; when the volume content of fine aggregate varied at the range of 0.40~0.50, there may be little effects on the workability of self-compacting concrete, but the increase self-compacting concretes volume content could reduce obviously the dry shrinkage of self-compacting concrete. Moreover, the variation in the volume content of coarse and fine aggregate should have slight influence on the early strength of self-compacting concrete, and the influence of the volume content variety on the later strength of self-compacting concrete could be neglected eventually.
