The paper examines the influence of ground limestone on the properties of self-compacting concrete, which contains Portland cement as a binder and ground granulated blast furnace slag; on the mix to produce concrete with the plasticizer based on polycarboxylate, and the...
The macrolevel properties of concrete; strength and durability are dependent on the hydration of cement. The main products of the chemical reactions of cement clinker with water, are calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H), calcium aluminate hydrates and calcium hydro...
The article presents the results of thermogravimetric analysis of raw mixtures when heated up to 1450°C in the presence of plasticizers (lignin-alkaline agent – LAA, and technical calcium lignosulfonate - TCL). The effect of LAA and TCL on chalk decarbonization ...
The paper discusses the results of the study of the composition of Portland cement hydration products containing mineral supplements, made using differential thermal, thermogravimetric and X-ray diffraction methods of analysis. The possibility of the presence of carbona...
The influence of the composition of a geopolymer binder based on some igneous rocks and of the curing conditions on its properties was examined. Addition of blast furnace slag in the amount of 10-25% to the mineral-alkali binder provides a hydraulic binder with stre...
