Book Production and Use of Calcined Natural Pozzolans in Concrete

Download or read book Production and Use of Calcined Natural Pozzolans in Concrete written by GS. Barger and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of producing concrete that provides longterm durability with regard to properties such as improved sulfate resistance and reduced susceptibility to alkali-silica reactions (ASR) has led to the development of several high-performance materials. While the use of fly ashes and ground granulated blast-furnace slags (GGBFS) in concrete is gaining acceptance in various applications, the mineralogical composition of such byproduct materials cannot be as easily controlled as a manufactured pozzolan. Since 1993, Ash Grove has developed and directed the manufacture of pozzolans to improve concrete durability, while avoiding the potential problems of byproduct pozzolan availability and uniformity. Processing of these performance-enhancing pozzolans is accomplished by thermally treating and converting crystalline clay materials to amorphous alumino silicates. These pozzolans can be interground with portland cement clinker and gypsum to produce a Type IP blended cement or they can be ground separately as mineral admixtures for concrete. These two products are produced under the specification requirements of ASTM C 1157 or ASTM C 595 for hydraulic cements and ASTM C 618 for mineral admixtures, respectively. In ASTM C 618, the classification for raw or calcined natural pozzolans is Class N. The data contained in this paper describe some of the choices that are available to manufacturers of blended hydraulic cements to "engineer" into the cementitious system the desired properties for concrete such as improved sulfate resistance, reduced permeability, and the ability to strongly mitigate ASR.

Book Nagra PSI Chemical Thermodynamic Data Base 01 01

Download or read book Nagra PSI Chemical Thermodynamic Data Base 01 01 written by Wolfgang Hummel and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nagra/PSI Chemical Thermodynamic Data Base 01/01 is an encyclopedia of thermodynamic data recommended for environmental studies. The data base focuses on elements commonly found as major solutes in natural waters, and on actinides and fission products relevant for radioactive waste disposal projects. It is the official chemical thermodynamic data base used in Swiss radioactive waste disposal projects. The detailed discussion of every number recommended in this encyclopedia is the result of a multi man-year project of the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), a Swiss National Lab. The five authors of this work have many years of experience in research, data base development and the application of thermodynamic data in environmental studies. The data included for many elements are based on their reviews of the basic literature. The data base also includes additional data selected by the authors from recommendations of other experts in ground- water geochemistry and of the international data base project of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA).This report is indispensable for every scientist working in the field of environmental studies as the comprehensive source of information on the quality of the thermodynamic data governing particular problems in environmental geochemistry, especially those concerned with the fate of hazardous substances. This enables graduate students, researchers and consultants, as well as regulators and reviewers of scientific papers to assess the scientific basis of environmental modeling studies. The encyclopedia can be used as a stand-alone source of knowledge but amplereferences are provided for readers who wish to go beyond the level of discussion in the book. An electronic version of the data base and a data base management program is available for download at our homepage (http://les.web.psi.ch/TDBbook.htm).

Download or read book Cement Replacement Materials written by Ali Akbar Ramezanianpour and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to present the latest findings in the properties and application of Supplementary Cementing Materials and blended cements currently used in the world in concrete. Sustainability is an important issue all over the world. Carbon dioxide emission has been a serious problem in the world due to the greenhouse effect. Today many countries agreed to reduce the emission of CO2. Many phases of cement and concrete technology can affect sustainability. Cement and concrete industry is responsible for the production of 7% carbon dioxide of the total world CO2 emission. The use of supplementary cementing materials (SCM), design of concrete mixtures with optimum content of cement and enhancement of concrete durability are the main issues towards sustainability in concrete industry.
