The photoacoustic signal strength was measured on a series of similar portland cement pastes dried to different water contents. Under appropriate conditions this signal is a function of only the paste's specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity. Because of this, inferences can be made about th

β¦ Synopsis
Samples of hydrating Type I portland cement paste were soaked in a saturated St(OH)2 solution at 80Β°C for periods from 7 to 28 days.
This treatment generates a new and, as yet, unidentified material.
The new material has a charaotemistie X-ray pattern, contains ,strontium, and is less porous and much stronger than hydrated cement pasteβ’
The 28-day modulus of rupture is increased 60% over that of hydrated cement paste soaked in saturated Ca (OH)2 solution at 80Β°C. Evidence is presented that this new material occupies an increased volume and thereby produces an early, chemically-induced, prestress with the result that the 7-day modulus of z,/ptu~e is about 10% greater than the 28-day value.

In an examination of a 1-year oM hydrated silica fume bearing cement paste a number of large (35-80 Ima) rounded siliceous particles were found that had apparently been derived from the coarse fraction of the silica fume. Calcium had diffused inward from the periphery of the grains, and in most case
The present work extends the knowledge on the behaviour of high magnesia cements, pure or with pozzolanic additives cured for 8 years in potable water at 18+2Β°C. For this purpose, clinker containing 10% MgO was prepared in an-appropriate furnace. The raw materials used were all of industrial origin.
Calculation of the solubility product constants for Ca(OH)2 and CaSO4.2H20 in pore solutions of hardened cement paste is used as an estimation of saturation. The treatment of solubility data using three models is discussed in this paper. These models are the Greenberg-Copeland model[l], the Brornley
