Effects of Erosion Forms and Admixture on Cement Deterioration Characteristics in Sulfate Environment
Ying Chen, Peng Liu, Zhiwu Yu
TL;DR
This study examines how sulfate exposure affects cement strength and structure, showing that admixtures and erosion forms significantly influence deterioration.
Contribution
The study introduces GaussMod and Boltzmann functions to model the relationship between admixture content and mechanical properties in sulfate environments.
Findings
Flexural and compressive strengths decreased with higher admixture content in sulfate-exposed specimens.
Fly ash initially increased strength but later decreased it as its content increased.
Semi-immersion erosion reduced strength in admixed specimens compared to controls.
Abstract
The effects of solution concentration, admixtures, erosion form, and age on the flexural and compressive strength of Portland cement subjected to a sulfate environment were investigated, and the corresponding relationship between the mechanical properties and influencing factors of the cement specimen was proposed. Furthermore, the phase components, crystal morphology, microstructure, and morphology of erosion products were also investigated. The research findings indicate that the flexural and compressive strengths of specimens subjected to a sulfate environment for 4 months decreased as the content of admixture increased. There exists a GaussMod function between the content of fly ash and flexural strength of a specimen subjected to a sulfate environment, and the Boltzmann function can be used to characterize the variation between the slag content and compressive strength of the…
