423 However, PC concrete broke down in a concentrated CaCl2 solution at a temperature of 20°C or lower. The breakdown has been attributed to the formation and crystallisation of complex salts containing CaCl2, Ca(OH)2 and/or CaCO3.424 In mortars containing 30% fly ash, 10% silica fume ...
The maximum pavement design temperature is selected as the average temperature of the highest pavement for seven consecutive days. The minimum pavement design temperature is the minimum pavement temperature expected over the life of the pavement. The maximum and minimum pavement design temperatures plus ...
The retarder should not be used for the concrete constructed below the daily minimum temperature of 5℃, nor should it be used for the concrete and steam-cured concrete with early strength requirements. The retarded concrete admixture is used to delay the chemical reaction that occurs when the ...
Also, it is mandatory to maintain a consistent minimum ambient and subbase temperature of 55° F while the concrete needs to be a minimum of 60° F at the point of placement. Since temporary heating is being used, proper ventilation is a must and air quality is continually being monitored...
fire resistance depends not only on the kind of concrete but also on the thickness of the cover over the reinforcement. The fire produces huge temperature gradients, and as a consequence, the top layers resist spalling and sputtering off the colder interior. The expansion of the reinforcement bar...
which verifies the accuracy of the proposed model and its prediction capability. This resistivity model can be used to determine the concrete electrical resistivity at any curing time and under different temperature conditions. Therefore, the equivalent age can be obtained by setting the development pro...
Setting of cement was measured by vicat’s apparatus as per ASTM C-1991. The initial setting time was found to be 2 hrs-17 minutes (137minutes) at room temperature of about 32 c and relative humidity of about 685 where as final setting time was 3hr-a5 minutes (195 minutes) ...

Tetracalcium aluminoferrite is just added for cement manufacturing purposes (i.e., for lowering the required kiln temperature), rather than for concrete purposes. It is also the source of cement coloring (gray). Gypsum is added in order to control the cement initial reaction rates (setting ...
Anhydrite binders are produced by thermal treatment at 600–700°C and the subsequent addition of activators for setting time regulation (lime, dolomite, blast furnace slag). When natural anhydrite is used, the raw materials are subjected to drying and grinding. For high-temperature treatment of ...
