A discussion of “moisture diffusion in cement pastes with hydrophobic agent”
نویسندگان
چکیده
In February 2022, this journal published the paper “Moisture diffusion in cement pastes with hydrophobic agent” [1], performing measurements on moisture storage and calculations transport mortars pastes, to explain influence of internal hydrophobation imbibition these materials. This critique however formulates serious concerns primary aspects paper: it is established that reliability obtained sorption isotherms, pore volume distributions flow resistances debatable. discussion therefore invites [1]’s authors placate concerns, when remediation would not be feasible, revise their work accordingly.

Influence of alkalis on porosity percolation in hydrating cement pastes
Loss-on-ignition (LOI) measurements and low temperature calorimetry (LTC) are used to study the properties of hydrating cement pastes with various quantities of alkalis. In addition to the well-known acceleration of early age hydration and ‘‘retardation’’ of later age hydration, the alkalis are observed to have a significant effect on the percolation of the porosity in the hydrating systems, as...
متن کاملStructural studies on hydrating cement pastes
The development of the mesoscopic material structure during the hydration of ordinary Portland cement paste is studied by small-angle neutron scattering. Results on the time dependence of radii of gyration (Guinier region) and exponents (Porod region) are given and discussed. Introduction Building materials like hardened cement are heterogeneous. Their useful properties (as strength, porosity, ...
متن کاملProperties of Cement Pastes Doped with Very High Amounts of Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag
In the current work, the properties of cement pastes doped with high amounts of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (HVS) were investigated. Portland cement (PC) was substituted with ground granulated blast-furnace slag (donated as slag) at very high amounts of 85%, 90%, 95% and 100%, by weight. PC paste without any content of slag was used as a reference. Some fresh and hardened properties su...
متن کاملA Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Pulsed Field Gradient Study of Self-Diffusion of Water in Hydrated Cement Pastes
The results of oneand two-dimensional H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pulsed field gradient (PFG) diffusometry studies of water in white cement paste with a water-tocement ratio 0.4 and aged from 1 day to 1 year are reported. The study shows that the NMRPFG method is primarily sensitive to the capillary porosity. Data is fit on the basis of a lognormal pore size distribution with pore size d...
متن کاملElectrode configurations and impedance spectra of cement pastes
Electrode effects on impedance spectra of cement pastes were investigated by two-, three-, and four-point measurements without a potentiostat over the frequency range 0,01 Hz–10 MHz. Electrode immittance effects arising from highly resistive/capacitive contacts cannot be fully corrected by nulling procedures, Two-point~measurements are much more susceptible to such effects than threeor four-poi...
