Rheology of Alkali-Activated Slag during Its Early Hydration Stages
Pazour, Miroslav ; Smilek, Jiří (referee) ; Bílek, Vlastimil (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the measurement of viscoelastic parameters of mixtures based on alkali-activated blast furnace slag during hydration. Hydration was monitored using isothermal calorimeter and initial and final setting time was determined for another comparsion by Vicat’s needle. These parameters were measured depending on activator dosage (water glass) and organic admixture dosage (hexylene glycol) and compared with each other. It was observed that storage modulus prevailed over loss modulus in fresh mixtures with lower dosage of activator, whereas in mixtures with higher dosage of activator viscous component began to prevail and complex modulus was rather descreasing. Conversely, in mixtures with higher hexylene glycol dosage complex modulus was significantly increasing. Evolution of modules in time correlated with calorimetric curves and setting times. During setting time, which is assigned to formation of primary C-A-S-H, values of viscoelastic parameters was remarkably increasing.
