Adiabatic Temperature Rise And Durability Performance Of Slag Blended Concrete, Hai Zhu
Adiabatic Temperature Rise And Durability Performance Of Slag Blended Concrete, Hai Zhu
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Performance and durability of slag blended concrete was investigated in this study focusing on slag and cement characteristics. Seven slags with variable Al2O3 content, Al2O3/MgO ratio and fineness were selected for investigation. The eight selected cements included ASTM Type I, Type I(HA), Type II(MH), Type II(MH)(HA), and Type IL(10 and 14). Cementitious materials studied here were subjected to a battery of tests including physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization. Performance and durability testing included heat of hydration measurements, sulfate optimization, external sulfate resistance, adiabatic temperature rise and chloride ingress.
Adiabatic temperature rise was assessed on 60% slag blended concrete, using Type …
