纳米C-S-H/PCE对蒸养UHPC力学性能增强机理研究

目前超高性能混凝土(UHPC)制品的力学性能有待进一步提升,采用纳米C-S-H/PCE对UHPC进行增强在理论上是一种可行的技术途径。本文研究了蒸养条件下掺入以聚羧酸(PCE)为分散剂的纳米水化硅酸钙(C-S-H/PCE)对UHPC力学性能的影响,通过测试水化热、水化产物、微观形貌和孔结构等对其机理进行了分析。结果表明,掺入3.0%(质量分数)纳米C-S-H/PCE可以显著提高蒸养UHPC的抗压强度和抗折强度。掺入纳米C-S-H/PCE可以促进UHPC的早期水化,生成更多的水化硅酸钙(C-S-H)凝胶,使水化放热温峰增高,并缩短达到水化温峰的时间。掺入纳米C-S-H/PCE可有效改善蒸养UHPC的孔结构,在掺量为3.0%(质量分数)时总孔隙率最小,有害孔比例最低。该研究可为纳米C-S-H/PCE在蒸养UHPC中的应用提供参考。

C-S-H/PCE凝胶的制备及性能

采用硝酸钙、水玻璃和PCE制备C-S-H/PCE凝胶。探讨醚类PCE用量和钙硅比(Ca/Si)对其早强和促凝性能的影响,并采用XRD和SEM探讨其早强(24h内)机理。实验发现,当醚类PCE折固掺量为1%、Ca/Si为1.25时,C-S-H/PCE凝胶早强性能最佳。随着C-S-H/PCE凝胶掺量的增加,早强性能逐渐提高,水泥凝结时间逐渐缩短;掺量为1%时,8h抗压强度达4MPa,24h达37MPa,比空白组高17MPa;较空白组初凝时间缩短75min,终凝时间缩短60min。C-S-H/PCE凝胶的提强作用(24h内)是通过加速C3S水化,促进C-S-H(III)凝胶的生成,使水化产物之间搭接紧密而实现的。

C-S-H/PCE凝胶对掺磷渣水泥的低温促凝早强性能研究

探讨C-S-H/PCE凝胶对掺磷渣硅酸盐水泥的低温促凝早强性能的影响,并通过上清液pH值、Ca^(2+)浓度和化学结合水量分析其对水化的影响机理。低温下(8℃)C-S-H/PCE凝胶能有效缩短混凝土终凝时间,并提高早期强度,当掺量5%时,混凝土终凝时间缩短近6 h,16 h、24 h和3 d抗压强度比分别为160%、150%和110%,且不影响2.5 h混凝土工作性能。C-S-H/PCE凝胶能使低温下掺磷渣硅酸盐水泥浆体处于高pH状态,加速早期水泥矿相离子溶解,提高Ca^(2+)过饱和度,加速后期析晶过程,提高化学结合水量,从而促进掺磷渣硅酸盐水泥的水化,实现低温促凝早强。

Characteristics of two types of C-S-H gel in hardened complex binder pastes blended with slag

The characteristics of C-S-H gel in hardened Portland cement pastes and complex binder pastes with ground granulated blast furnace slag were investigated with nanoindentation. The composition of C-S-H gel was analysed with SEM-EDS. The obtained results showed that the volume fraction of LD C-S-H gradually reduced and the volume fraction of HD C-S-H increased with the prolongation of hydration age. Most of the C-S-H gel produced at later age was HD C-S-H. The volume fraction of HD C-S-H increased as the fraction of slag in complex binder pastes increased, suggesting that HD C-S-H was mainly in the hydration products of slag. The chemichal compositions of the two types of C-S-H gel were simlar, meaning that formation and transformation of the two types of C-S-H gel were not affected by their Ca/Si ratio.

Effects of Molecular Structure of Polycarboxylate-type Superplasticizer on the Hydration Properties of C_3S

Effects of polycarboxylate-type superplasticizer（PC） molecular structure on the hydration heat of tricalcium silicate（C3S） paste and polymerization degree of hydration products（C-S-H gel） were researched by using TAM AIR isothermal microcalorimetry（TA） and 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance（NMR）.Methoxy polyethylene glycol-methacrylates-based polycarboxylate superplasticizers with different side chain lengths and main chain lengths were employed.PC molecules with shorter main chain or longer side chains caused stronger retardation of C3S early hydration and lesser increase of C3S 3 d hydration degree.NMR measurement indicated that the incorporation of PC increased the hydration degree of C3S paste and the polymerization degree of silicon-oxygen tetrahedron of C-S-H gel.The tendency for C3S 7 d hydration degree to improve was more pronounced while PC molecules with longer main chain or shorter side chain were added.Whereas,PC molecules with longer main chains or longer side chains increased the 7 d polymerization degree of C-S-H gel.

Properties of Alkali-activated Yellow River Sediment-slag Composite Material

In order to consume the Yellow River sediment as much as possible and improve the longterm stability of the Yellow River, Yellow River sediment was utilized as the main raw material to produce a composite material. Ca(OH)_2 was used as alkali-activator to activate the active SiO_2 and Al_2O_3 compositions in Yellow River sediment. 10 wt% slag was added into the mixture to further improve the strength of the composites. The effect of activity rate of the Yellow River sediment and dosage of Ca(OH) _2 on the compressive strength of the Yellow River sediment-slag composite material at different curing ages was researched. XRD, SEM/EDS, light microscope and FTIR were used to further explore the products and the microstructure of the composite material. Results showed that the active ratio of sediment had a great influence on the compressive strength of specimen. In addition, the compressive strength of specimen increased with the increase of Ca(OH)_2dosage and curing age. When the dosage of Ca(OH)_2 was more than 5 wt% as well as the curing age reached 90 days, the compressive strength of the composite material could meet the engineering requirement. In the alkali-activated process, the main product was hydrated calcium silicate(C-S-H) gel, which filled up the gaps among the sediment particles and decreased the porosity of the specimen. Moreover, the CaCO_3 produced by the carbonization of the C-S-H gel and excess Ca(OH)_2 also played a role on the strength.

Microstructural and photocatalytic characterization of cement-paste sol-gel synthesized titanium dioxide

ABSTRACT A routte for the in paste synthesis of TiO2 loaded cement is described. TiO2 sols are blended with fresh cement paste as an alternative process to add photocatalytic functionality to cement. The modification of cement paste structure after the addition ofTiO2 sols is analyzed by XRD, SEM and TGA. As a particular microstructural feature, TiO2 containing calcium silicate hydrate （C-H-S） particles are identified as networking centers ofa C-S-H gel fiber matrix. The increase of the TiO2 sol concentration induces a decrease of pore size and an increase in the specific surface area in the cement composites. The photocatalytic activity of the TiO2/cement system is evaluated from the degradation of Methylene Blue （MB） under UV irradiation, monitored through the absorbance at 665 nm. The results show that, although TiO2 phases reveal no long range order structure, the cement paste exothermal treatment in presence of hydrate products and alkaline conditions leads to a photocatalytic composite. Such new cement matrix may be twofold advantageous since it additionally promotes the formation of C-S-H gel, main determinant of cement mechanical properties.

Nanoindentation characteristics of cement with different mineral admixtures

In order to determine the effects of different mineral admixtures including fly ash （FA）, blast furnace slag （BFS） and metakaolin （MK） on hydration product phases from the nanoscale structure perspective, nanoindentation characteristics of the samples with similar 28-day strengths have been investigated. The results indicate that the volume fractions of porosity in po- rosity and hydration product phases of the samples with the same kind of mineral admixture are almost equal to each other, and are greater than that of the sample without mineral admixture. Mineral admixtures especially MK can decrease remarkably the volume fractions of CH in porosity and hydration product phases, and there exists a good linear relationship between the （AI＋Si）/Ca molar ratio of cementitious materials chemical compositions and the volume fraction of HD C-S-H gel in C-S-H gel. Therefore, it is possible to predict the volume fraction change of HD C-S-H gel in C-S-H gel by simply calculating the （AI＋Si）/Ca molar ratio of cementitious materials with similar 28-day strengths under the constant water-binder ratio.

Crystal structure refinement of suolunite and its significance to the cement techniques

Based on the crystal structure refinement, the arrangement and characteristics of the double tetrahedra of Si-O backbone of suolunite have been precisely clarified. The double tetrahedra are isolated, and the orientations of the closely adjacent double tetrahedra are perpendicular to each other, which results in the poor cleavage and high hardness of suolunite.
