Effect of boron and water-to-cement ratio on the performances of laboratory prepared Belite-Ye'elimite-Ferrite (BYF) cements
(2021)
The effect of superplasticiser, borax and the water-to-cement ratio on BYF hydration and
mechanical strengths has been studied. Two laboratory-scale BYF cements—st-BYF (with -C2S
and orthorhombic C4A3 S) and borax-activated ...
Phase and microstructure evolutions in LC3 binders by multi-technique approach including synchrotron microtomography
(Elsevier, 2021-06-19)
Limestone Calcined Clay Cements, LC3, are attracting a lot of attention as it is possible to reduce the clinker
factor by 50%, which means a cement CO2 footprint reduction of 40%. This is compatible with maintaining
the ...
Local structure and Ca/Si ratio in C-S-H gels from hydration of blends of tricalcium silicate and silica fume
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
At the microscale, C-S-H gels from alite, or neat Portland cements, has a Ca/Si ratio close to 1.80. At the nanoscale, C-S-H is described by a defective tobermorite structure which allows a maximum Ca/Si ratio close to ...
Hydration Activation of Alite-Belite-Ye’elimite Cements by Doping with Boron
(2020)
The hydration behavior of two alite-belite-ye’elimite (ABY)
cements has been studied. The production of these materials releases into
atmosphere ∼17% less CO2 compared to Portland cement. The ABY cement
contains alite, ...
Processing and characterisation of standard and doped alite-belite-ye'elimite ecocement pastes and mortars
(2020-02-26)
Here, we report the processing optimisation of two laboratory-prepared alite-belite-ye'elimite ecocements (standard and doped) that release to the atmosphere ~13% less CO2 than Portland Cement during fabrication. The ...
ANALYSIS OF BUILDING MATERIALS BY SYNCHROTRON X-RAY IMAGING
(-, 2021-01)
Building materials have complex hierarchical microstructures. The largest components are coarse aggregates with dimensions larger than a few centimetres and the smallest ones are the calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel ...
Pair distribution function as a tool to characterize C-S-H gels
(2021)
Portland cement (PC) is the most manufactured product in the world. However, cement industry is one of the major contributors for greenhouse gas emissions. For every ton of grey PC clinker, around 0.87 CO2 tons are released ...
