The expausion of mortar bars and the content of Ca( OH)2 in cement paste cured at 80 °G for 91 d were measured. Traasmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscot9 (HRTEM) were employed to study the microstructure of C-S-H. TEM/ energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) leas then used to determine the composition of C-S-H. The pore structure of the paste was analyzed by mercury intntsion porosimetry (MIP). The results show that the contents of fly ash of 30% and 45% can well inhibit ASR. And the content of Ca(OH) 2 decreases with the increase of fly ash. That fly ash reacted with Ca(OH)2 to produce C-S-H with a low Ca/Si molar ratio could bind more Na^+ and K^+ ious, and produce a reduction in the amount of soluble alkali available for ASR. At the same time, the C- S- H produced by pozzolanic reaction converted large pores to snudler ones ( gel pores smaller than 10 nm ) to deusify the pore structure. Perhaps that could inhibit alkali trausport to aggregate for ASR.展开更多

By studying the changes of intensity, volume, elastic modulus, quality, p H value, the Ca/Si, and mineral phase, it could be found that the first cement decalcification degradation process was the decalcification of calcium hydroxide, and then CSH gel, AFm, etc. The secondary ettringite deposition happened and the decalcification degradation depth was proportional to the square root of time. Moreover, the corresponding strength of cement would be gradually reduced, cement rock volume shrinkage occurred, p H values decreased, the surface elastic modulus decreased down to a certain level, and slightly changed and the Ca/Si was 3.1 from the beginning and lasted down to 1.3.展开更多
