Abstract The creep behavior and drying shrinkage performance of fly ash geopolymer (GP) concrete mixtures have been investigated using equivalent grade 40-MPa ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as the reference system. Drying values, measured in accordance with AS 1012.13-1992, up to one year fell well below nominal 700 μstrain limit, GP values typically less than 400 at 1 year. Variations basic mean coefficient (Фcc.b), ratio strain elastic for a specimen loaded 28 days under constant stress...
Abstract Optimising the mesoscale structure of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) is critical to achieving durable and sustainable infrastructure using Portland cement concrete. However, control its intricate formation process, which comprises spatially disordered growth poorly-crystalline sheets, remains a challenge. Here, through combination experimental computer simulation techniques, we report promising mechanism this complex process thereby optimise C-S-H nanostructure. The pivotal step...
Abstract Calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) gel is the glue of Portland cement that governs most physicochemical properties concrete. Inherently, understanding and controlling its complex structure has long been an active area research deemed critical to realizing stronger, smarter, more sustainable cementitious materials. Marking 100th anniversary Le Chatelier's publication on C–S–H colloids crystalloids, here we present overview broader developments in a century C–S–H—covering initial...
