  • Determining the Slag Fraction, Water/Binder Ratio and Degree of Hydration in 2 Hardened Cement Pastes 3 4 * 5 M.H.N
    Cement & Concrete Research (2014) 56, 171-181 1 Determining the slag fraction, water/binder ratio and degree of hydration in 2 hardened cement pastes 3 4 * 5 M.H.N. Yio , J.C. Phelan, H.S. Wong and N.R. Buenfeld 6 7 8 Concrete Durability Group, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London, SW7 2AZ, 9 UK 10 11 12 Abstract 13 14 15 A method for determining the original mix composition of hardened slag-blended cement-based materials based on 16 analysis of backscattered electron images combined with loss on ignition measurements is presented. The method does 17 not require comparison to reference standards or prior knowledge of the composition of the binders used. Therefore, it 18 is well-suited for application to real structures. The method is also able to calculate the degrees of reaction of slag and 19 cement. Results obtained from an experimental study involving sixty samples with a wide range of water/binder (w/b) 20 ratios (0.30 to 0.50), slag/binder ratios (0 to 0.6) and curing ages (3 days to 1 year) show that the method is very 21 promising. The mean absolute errors for the estimated slag, water and cement contents (kg/m3), w/b and s/b ratios were 22 9.1%, 1.5%, 2.5%, 4.7% and 8.7%, respectively. 91% of the estimated w/b ratios were within 0.036 of the actual values. 23 24 25 Keywords: Backscattered electron imaging; Image analysis; Slag; Water-binder ratio; Degree of hydration 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 * Corresponding author.

Although, cement has great properties and high performance, its intrinsic brittleness is a weakness that requires further investigation for improvement. Graphene demonstrates a number of excellent properties, such as high flexibility, 1 TPa Young’s modulus, 130 GPa tensile strength, high electrical and thermal conductivity.

The LSS grains can be strongly held together, forming an inorganic-organic monolith (IOM) with the flexural strength around 30–40 MPa. The compaction pressure, the number of loadings, the binder content, and the compaction duration are important factors. The LSS-based IOM remains strong from À200 °C to 130 °C, and is quite gas permeable. Ó 2017 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
