Structure and formation properties of a water-resistant compound binder based on calcium sulfate β-hemihydrate

All authors

This article discusses some special aspects of the hydration and structural formation of water-resistant gypsum-cement-pozzolan composite binders based on calcium sulfate β-hemihydrate modified by a group of mineral and chemical admixtures. The pore structure factors of the products based on these binders were measured and the phase compositions of the new hydration growths were studied.

1 Introduction

The main problem when mixing gypsum binder (GB) and Portland cement (PC) lies in enabling a stable structure to form during their co-hardening. Another important aspect is the problem of obtaining the required water resistance value without an appreciable increase in PC content in the mix or its dilution by means of excessive addition of active mineral admixture (AMA). It is impossible to produce competitive and durable materials based on these binders without solving these major problems.

Features of the microstructure and phase composition of hardened cement paste prepared by mechano-chemical activation of the binder

The article deals with the influence of mechanical activation of the cement suspension on the physical and mechanical properties of mass concrete. The high growth rate of the cement composites is determined by the high level of heat emission from the hardened cement paste when the structure starts to form. ...
