Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical and Scientific Treatise on Calcareous Mortars and Cements, Artificial and Natural: Containing, Directions for Ascertaining the Qualities of the Different Ingredients, for Preparing Them for Use, and for Combining Them Together in the Most Advantageous Manner; With a Theoretical Investigation of Their Properties and Modes of Action The art of composing calcareous cements was confined, till within the last few years, to the knowledge of a small number of facts, and to the observance of certain rules long since admitted into use without examination, on the authority of Vitruvius and the architects who followed him. But the rules were almost always found to be at fault, and the facts, for want of correlativeness, were of but little aid. Could we, for instance, manufacture good mortar in France, by mixing three parts in bulk of dry pit sand, or two of river sand, with one part of slaked lime derived from a white marble of great hardness? Such, however, are the proportions of admixture, and the characteristics of good limestone pointed out by Vitruvius. It was of little importance besides to those, to whom it was impossible to procure it, that the pouzzolana of Italy and the Dutch tarras were possessed of extraordinary binding qualities; that lime eminently adapted for hydraulic works was to be found at Metz, Viviers, Nismes, c, in France, at Lcea in Upland, at Aberthaw in England, and elsewhere. With all this information, and even adding to it the discoveries of the Swedish Baggc, and Count Chaptal, regarding the transformation of some schists, and certain ochreous clays into pouzzolanas by calcination, it was not the less necessary to work by guess in most instances, or to trust to obscm-e analogies for the success of the most important works. One engineer vaunted the efficacy of the powder of tcell-burnt tile, another looked upon smithy slag and iron-dross as the finest ingredients. These again, on the other hand, asserted, that such substances are destitute of energy. Lastly, this difference of opinion extended even to the manipulation of the compounds.

Download or read book The Science and Technology of Cement and other Hydraulic Binders written by Vipin Kant Singh and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 922 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science and Technology of Cement and other Hydraulic Binders covers the design of Portland Cement composition using the ideas and formulae of earlier scientists, including the calculation of proportions of different cement phases formed during processing. Other chapters cover cement manufacture by dry, semi-dry or wet processes using rotary and shaft kilns. Particular attention is given to the physical changes that occur in the raw mix when affected by chemical processes. The chemistry of clinker formation which is concerned chiefly with high temperature reactions in the solid-state phase or reactions in the presence of the liquid phase is also discussed. Users will find the latest information on the storage of cement, its packing and handling, hydration and setting, Gypsum, different mineral additions, and advances in special and newer cements, including blended cements, Portland slag cement, Pozzolanic cements, high alumina cements, high-strength cement-based materials, fiber-reinforced cement, non-Portland cements and lime. Covers raw materials, cement design and manufacturing, fuels used in manufacturing, phase balances, clinker training, hydration and setting Includes various types of cement, mineral additions, high strength cement and different cement-based materials Presents information on activated alkaline materials, recycled cements and novel additions Discusses future trends in cement manufacturing and the circular economy Contains a high number of figures, tables and reference data

Download or read book Mortars and Cements written by L.J. Vicat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L. J. Vicat's investigations into the nature and use of limes first appeared in this English language edition in 1837 translated by Captain J. T. Smith, with the inclusion of extensive notes on developments in England at that time. Vicat's work is of immense interest and importance as it critically reviews the practices of time, sifting the good ones from the bad by careful experiment. In addition he was able to take developments in lime a stage further, describing very simple procedures which would make it possible to assess the nature of lime from any deposit encountered. The classification which he prepared is still valid today and enables the best possible use to be made of any lime, particularly for hydraulic works. Despite being first published over 100 years ago, this is a very readable volume, and it will not just be of interest to conservation professionals and construction historians but everyone involved in the use of lime in buildings.
