discussion  •  Portlandcement  is  the  dominant  part  of  the  binder  in  a  

ternary  matrix.  

•  important  to  note  C3A  ,  free  lime  ,  type  and  amount  of  sulfate  

   

•  Calcium  sulfate  goes  in  solu5on  quickly    

•  it  counts  for  the  ini5al  strength  development  and  expansion  

•  type  and  amount  (anhydrite,  β  /  α  hemi-­‐hydrate,  gypsum)  

influence  greatly  the  reac5vity  ,  expansion  and  strength  

development  

discussion    

•  Calcium  aluminate  higher  ra5o  C/A  increase  reac5vity  

•  Mayenite  (C12A7)  is  the  most  rapid  phase  compared  to  

other  calcium  aluminate  minerals    

•  main  hydrate  formed  C2AH8    

•  hexogonal  ,  hydrates  rapidly  and  is  exothermic  

•  forms  with  Ca(OH)2  and  CaSO4  highest  amount  of  ehringite    

conclusion  •  an  op5mum  in  C/A  ra5o  and  sufficient  CaSO4  will  react  with  Ca(OH)2  

(formed  at  hydra5on  of  Portland  cement)  to  form  acicular    

3CaO·∙Al2O3·∙3CaSO4·∙32H2O  (eTringite/  C4A3S)  crystals  

•  high  ini5al  strength  and  posi5ve  expansion  

•  allows  working  at  low  temperatures      

•  ACA  gave  the  most  effec5ve  results  

•  even  at  half  the  dosage    

•  lihle  impact  on  se]ng  5me  was  no5ced  

•  ajer  48  hours  strength  was  compara5vely  in  pace  with  other  source  

of  aluminates
