Coal gangue is one of the largest discharged industrial solid wastes, which generated in processes coal mining and washing. To accelerate in-situ utilization gangue, this paper explored aggregates (CGA) as single aggregate source to prepare shotcrete used for mine tunnel underground local. The effects CGA rates water/binder ratio (w/b) on were experimentally studied by means compressive strength, chloride permeability determined electric flux method, pore structure measured Nuclear magnetic...
With high pozzolanic reactivity, metakaolin (MK) is a popular supplementary cementitious material (SCM), which can be used to partially replace Portland cement in concretes. Due its small particle size, however, MK agglomerate, resulting nonuniform matrix and underperformance of the produced concrete. To address this issue, paper exploits low-cost, bio-based admixture-black tea extract (BTE)-to traditional petroleum-based chemical admixture enhance dispersion workability blended mortars....
A bio-inspired, plant-derived polyphenol, tannic acid (TA) was identified as a renewable admixture to improve the compressive strength of concretes. Aiming understand underlying mechanism responsible for this improvement, study examines how TA mediates hydration tricalcium silicate (alite). Experimental shows that can form complex with calcium ions through chelating, retarding alite and changing products. Particularly, X-ray diffraction analysis makes hydroxide preferentially grow on [0 0 1]...
