Characterization of portland cement hydration products by thermal dilatometric analysis
Dvořáková, Tereza ; Švec, Jiří (referee) ; Šoukal, František (advisor)
The paper presents the results of thermal dilatometric analysis of cement pastes during the heating at high temperatures. Volume changes were observed in samples of cement paste at selected time intervals during the hydration. Based on the measured data the dTDAc urves course has been described and the results have been compared with the curves of differential thermal analysis. To characterize the microstructure of the cement paste during the considerable shrinkage at higher temperatures the images by scanning electron microscope have been acquired.
Distribution of hydration products in the microstructure of cement pastes
Hlobil, Michal
This case study focuses on the quantification of the amorphous hydrate distribution in the microstructure of hardened cement paste. Microtomographic scans of the hardenend cement paste were thresholded based on histogram image analysis combined with microstructural composition obtained from CEMHYD3D hydration model, to separate unhydrated cement grains, crystalline and amorphous hydrates, and capillary pores. The observed spatial distribution of the amorphous hydrate exhibited a strong spatial gradient as the amorphous gel tended to concentrate around dissolving cement grains rather than precipitate uniformly in the available space. A comparative numerical study was carried out to highlight the effect of the spatially (non)uniform hydrate distribution on the compressive strength of the hardened cement paste.
