Decalcification shrinkage of cement paste

Decalcification of cement paste in concrete is associated with several modes of chemical degradation including leaching, carbonation and sulfate attack. The primary aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of decalcification under saturated conditions on the dimensional stability of cement paste. Thin (0.8 mm) specimens of tricalcium silicate (C3S) paste, white portland cement (W...

Data for the physical and mechanical properties of high volume fly ash cement paste composites

The data presented herein are compiled of the research summary of "Characterization of High-Volume Fly-Ash Cement Paste for Sustainable Construction Application" (Aydin and Arel, 2017) [1]. This data article provides general information about the ASTM Class C and Class F fly ash cement paste composites composed of silica fume, lime, water reducing admixtures in three different level of workabil...

Mechano-Physical Properties and Microstructure of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Cement Paste after Thermal Load

The article presents the results obtained in the course of a study on the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for the modification of a cement matrix. Carbon nanotubes were introduced into a cement paste in the form of an aqueous dispersion in the presence of a surfactant (SDS-sodium dodecyl sulfate), which was sonicated. The selected physical and mechanical parameters were examined, and the correla...
