It is known that the hydration of cement paste is influenced by a variety of factors, it is also known that some hydration products are gradually dehydrated at elevated temperatures. In doing so, different author studied the dehydration of hydrated cement pastes under different condition. In this work, samples of Hydrated Cement Paste (HCP) were prepared from Portland cement of high initial strength (CP V-ARI) with a water/cement ratio of 0.5. The morphological changes during hydration and dehydration by subsequent heat-treatments were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) was used to study the thermal stability of the HCP. Dehydrated cement powder samples (DCP) were obtained heat treating samples of HCP at 300, 500, 700 and 900°C. After 7 days of curing HCP samples exhibited no significant changes in its structure. HCP dehydrated at 500°C showed the absence of Ca (OH)2 and calcium silicate hydrate. At 700°C the formation of β-2CaO.SiO2, 3CaO.SiO2 and CaO is observed. During heat treatment at 900°C the HCP revealed a significant mass loss of 36%.

ABSTRACTPortland cement pastes were mixed with predissolved naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer at normal water:cement ratios. Solutions were separated from the fresh pastes at intervals and the residual concentration of the superplasticizer determined by UV spectrophotometry. At low dosage levels essentially all of the superplasticizer was found to be removed from solution within a few minutes; at high dosage levels a substantial concentration was maintained in solution at least to approximately the time of set. In pastes in which silica fume replaced 10% by weight of the cement, it was found that the incorporation of silica fume significantly increased the uptake of superplasticizer. In separate trials it was found that the silica fume by itself adsorbed little superplasticizer, even from high pH solution simulating that of cement paste.

A model based on mosaic pattern analysis is shown to have the potential to describe the complex shapes and spatial distribution of phases in the microstructures of multiphase materials. Several characteristics of both micrographs of portland cement pastes and images generated using the few parameters of the model are determined and, for the most part, agreement is good. The advantage is that spatial features of the microstructures can be captured by a few parameters.

Laboratory-scale experiments were performed to understand the porosity change of cement pastes. The cement pastes were prepared using commercially available Type-I ordinary Portland cement (OPC). As the cement pastes were exposed in water, the porosity of the cement pastes sharply increased; however, the slow decrease of porosity was observed as the dissolution period was extended more than 50 days. As expected, the dissolution reaction was significantly influenced by w/c raito and the ionic strength of solution. A thermodynamic model was applied to simulate the porosity change of the cement pastes. It was highly influenced by the depth of the cement pastes. There was porosity increase on the surface of the cement pastes due to dissolution of hydration products, such as portlandite, ettringite, and CSH. However, the decrease of porosity was estimated inside the cement pastes due to the precipitation of cement minerals.

Rectifying and thermocouple junctions have been achieved using electrically dissimilar Portland cement pastes. The preferred junction is a pn-junction involving steel fiber cement paste (n-type) and carbon fiber cement paste (p-type). For this junction, the thermocouple sensitivity is 70 εV/°C.

ABSTRACTSmall angle neutron scattering (SANS) has been used to examine hydrated cement pastes with water-to-cement ratios between 0.25 and 0.8 and cured for 28 days. Various methods of data analysis are applied to the pastes.Fitting the entire SANS spectra of the hydrated cement paste has suggested that there are two scattering entities in the paste. There is some evidence to suggest that one scattering entity is globules of calcium silicate hydrate formed in the hydrated paste.
