In Part 1 of this paper, it was shown that enhanced hydration was achieved by blending a fine non-hydraulic filler into an ordinary Portland cement. This enhancement was considered to be a particle size effect and associated with the presence of fine particles of filler which provided the additional

β¦ Synopsis
Two series of pastes were prepared having a water to solids ratio of 0.71. The first contained an ordinary Portland cement and the second contained the same cement blended with Rutile (a fine, non-hydraulic filler). The presence of the fine powder is shown to enhance the degree of hydration of the major cement phases at ages beyond seven hours. The enhancement was accompanied by an increase (pro-rata) in the quantities of bound water and Portlandite. Both quantities were found to be related to the degree of hydration of the Portland Cement so that empirical relationships could be established. It is shown that the fine non-hydraulic filler had a variable cement equivalence which reached a maximum of 0.9 kg/kg.

A method for determination of filler and clinker grading in the cement composite has been developed. The term efficiency is introduced to evaluate the effect of filler content, fineness and blending procedure on the mortar and concrete strength. Statistical evaluation showed that addition of small
Portland cement samples containing amounts of CaCl 2 and NiCl 2 ranging from approximately 1% to 20% by weight have been examined by 29Si and 2~i solid-state MAS NMR as a function of time, and some of the mature pastes have been characterized by X-ray diffraction. Changes in physical properties tha
Na20 and K20 in absence of S03 are incorporated preferentially into the C3A phase of portland clinker altering its modification from cubic to orthorhombic. The hydration of Na20 doped C3A is retarded and that of K20 doped C3A accelerated in the resultant cements. The progress of C3S hydration and st
