White Concrete & Colored Concrete Construction
WHITE CEMENT CONCRETE AND COLORED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION and developers Owners seeking dynamic architectural results demand the benefits that only white or colored concrete can deliver. Informed designers rely on careful selection of materials and attention to mixing and placement details to achieve eye-catching architectural and decorative finishes. Because of its versatility, concrete offers endless design possibilities. A wide variety of decorative looks are achieved by using colored aggregates and pigments, and by varying surface finishes, treatments, and textures. Combining white cement with pigments and colored aggregates expands the number of colors available to discerning customers. Colors are cleaner and more intense because pigments and specialty Figure 1.

Reducing Cement Content in Concrete Mixtures
No. 0092-08-08 Wisconsin Highway Research Program • http://wisdotresearch.wi.gov/whrp December 2011 Reducing Cement Content in Concrete Mixtures oncrete mixtures contain crushed rock or gravel, and sand, bound together by Portland cement in combination with supplemental cementitious materials (SCMs), which harden through Ca chemical reaction with water. Portland cement is the most costly component of concrete mixtures, and its production creates significant amounts of green house gases. To reduce costs and environmental impacts, current WisDOT practice allows a for replacement of a portion of Portland cement supplemental cementitious materials (SCMs) such as coal fly ash or slag cement, both industrial by-products of coal and iron production, respectively. WisDOT has set a maximum limit on Portland cement replacement through use of SCMs to ensure its performance on concrete pavements. Therefore, the only opportunity to reduce the usage of Portland cement is to lower the required cementitious materials content for WisDOT approved mix designs. The potential benefits in terms of economic costs and environmental impacts are significant, however decreasing the cementitious materials content of a mixture too drastically can reduce pavement strength and durability. It can also reduce workability, or the ease with which a mixture can be compacted and placed during construction. What’s the Problem? Research was needed to help determine the minimum amount of cementitious material that WisDOT can use in its concrete mixtures and still preserve pavement performance. Several other upper Mid- western states allow the use of concrete mixtures with a lower minimum cementitious material content PUTTING RESEARCH TO WORK TO RESEARCH PUTTING than currently required by WisDOT specifications, but there is a lack of data on the long-term perfor- mance of pavements built with these mixtures. -

C24 (characteristic value of concrete, 24 MPa) was used in the experiment conducted. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), high fineness and SO3 OPC (HFS_OPC), and Early Portland cement (EPC) were selected as the study materials. The unit weights of cement were set to OPC 330, 350, and 380. Further, a concrete mixture was prepared with a triethanolamine (TEA)-based chemical admixture to HFS. A raw material analysis was conducted, and the compressive strength, temperature history, and maturity (D h) were examined. Then, the vertical formwork removal time was evaluated · according to the criterion of each country. -
