New Process

In this paper, the cement water reduction agent from modified lignosulfonate was synthesizd using a new process consisting of pre-oxidation, hydroxymethylation and sulfonation. The optimum synthesis conditions were identified: the oxidizing agent dosage is 15%, reaction temperature is 80-90oC, the dosage of formaldehyde is 30%, reaction temperature is about 95oC, pH is about 9.5. Fluidity of cement paste can be measured under the conditions of the addition of 0.25%, and the water-cement ratio is 0.4%. The results showed the modified lignosulfonate prepared under the above conditions had the better slushing performance. The fluidity of cement paste can reach 178 mm that is close to the high efficiency water reduction agent requirements.

abstract: Ultra-high performance concretes with steel microfibers have been studied in depth with the aim of producing more efficient and durable structures. The performance of these materials depends on the characteristics of the interface between microfibers and cementitious matrix. This research investigates the micro-nanomechanical properties of the interfacial transition zone between the steel microfibers and the matrix of ultra-high performance cementitious composite. The effect of the water/cement ratio and distance from the microfiber were analyzed. The results confirm the formation of high-density calcium-silicate-hydrate (HD C-S-H) matrix at higher concentrations than low-density calcium-silicate-hydrate (LD C-S-H) for w/c ratios of 0.2 and 0.3. The properties in cementitious matrix interface with steel microfibers were very similar to that measured for the cement paste, and no significant difference was observed regarding the distance to the microfibers in relation to the elastic modulus, hardness and chemical composition. Thus, the authors can conclude that the formation of a less resistant region does not occur at the interfacial transition zone cement paste/microfibers.

AbstractHigh strength cement pastes include hot pressed, autoclaved, impregnated low water/cement ratio, macrodefect free, ultrafine particles arrangement systems. The densification of the microstrucure is mainly related to a low porosity and to the formation of poorly crystalline hydrates. In composite systems like mortars and concretes, the interfacial bond between the cement paste and aggregates is moreover less porous and more finely crystallized than the normal “auréole de transition”.

Initial Setting

This paper shows how polycarboxylate based superplasticizer affects the initial setting time of cement paste. Three superplasticizers are used in this study with different properties and aiming to determine the delay in initial setting time due to superplasticizer. Initial setting time is calculated as per IS: 4031-PART 5-1988 with different SP dosages (0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0% and 1.5% of weight of cement). Superplasticizer is an admixture which reduces the water-cement ratio or increase the workability at the same water content. This paper deals with the evaluation of initial setting time due to superplasticizers.

The research object of the paper is cement paste with the particulate reinforcement of basalt fiber. Regardless of fibers’ length at the same fiber cement mix workability and cement consumption equality compressive solidity of the specimens is reduced with increasing fiber content. This is due to the necessity to increase the water-cement ratio to obtain a given workability. The flexural stability of the specimens with increasing fiber content increments in the same conditions. There is an optimum value of the fibers’ dosage. That is why stability has a maximum when crooking. The basaltic fiber particulate reinforcement usage can abruptly increase the cement paste level limiting extensibility, which is extremely important in terms of crack resistance.

The hydrated products, unhydrated cement and water (capillary pores) in the cement paste are seen as matrix, inclusion, Equivalent medium respectively, We used the micromechanics theories and Power’s Volume model to develop a multi-phase micromechanics model capable of simulating the elastic properties of cement-based materials, and the evolution of elastic properties in the hydration process was calculated at different water-cement ratio. The final experimental results show that this model can be used to predict the elastic properties of cement-based materials.

Using methoxy polyethylene glycol methacrylate (MPEGMA), butyl acrylate (BA), Methyl allyl sulfonate (SMAS) as the raw materials, we can compose them to multipolymer in redox system. Through analyzing the factors and adjustment of orthogonal experimental results, the optimum technology of synthesis are shown as follows: n(MPEGMA):n(BA):n(SMAS)=5:12:2, n(H2O2)/n(Vc)=6, and the reaction temperature is 30°C. When the volume of superplasticizer is 0.42%, water cement ratio is 0.3; the initial fluidity of cement paste can get to 238mm, and within 1 hour without any loss.

The Impact

Recently, the surfaces of concrete structures are impregnated to protect them against the environment in order to increase their durability. It is still not known how the use of these agents affects the near-surface hardness of concrete. This is especially important for experts who use the near-surface hardness of concrete for estimating its compressive strength. The impregnation agents are colorless and, thus, without knowledge of their use, mistakes can be made when testing the surface hardness of concrete. This paper presents the results of investigations concerning the impact of impregnation on the subsurface hardness concrete measured using a Schmidt hammer. For this research, samples of cement paste with a water–cement ratio of 0.4 and 0.5 were used. The samples were impregnated with one, two, and three layers of two different agents. The first agent has been made based on silanes and siloxanes and the second agent has been made based on based on polymers. The obtained research results allow for the conclusion that impregnation affects the near-surface hardness of concrete. This research highlights the fact that a lack of knowledge about the applied impregnation of concrete when testing its near-surface hardness, which is then translated into its compressive strength, can lead to serious mistakes.
