The Early Age Hydration Products and Mechanical Properties of Cement Paste Containing GBFS under Steam Curing Condition
The hydration products and strength of cement pastes incorporated with ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) (0% and 20% replacement) have been investigated under steam curing condition (80 °C for 7 h and 7 d) in comparison with normal curing condition (moist curing for 28 d). The results show that, duri...

| description | The hydration products and strength of cement pastes incorporated with ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) (0% and 20% replacement) have been investigated under steam curing condition (80 °C for 7 h and 7 d) in comparison with normal curing condition (moist curing for 28 d). The results show that, during the initial 80 °C steam curing for 7 h, in addition to the filler effect, GBFS is still involved in cement hydration. The abundant available Al phase and Mg phase in GBFS promote the formation of flake-like hydrotalcite, foil-like C-(A)-S-H gels, as well as equant grain-shaped C-(A)-S-H gels. Prolonging the steam curing time to 7 d further improves the formation of hydrogarnet. Since the formation of both hydrogarnet and hydrotalcite can consume the available Al, steam curing for 7 d seems to favor the formation of low Al C-(A)-S-H gels. In addition, due to the formation of a large amount of hydration products, the influence of 20% GBFS addition on the demolding strength of initial steam-cured cement mortar (80 °C for 7 h) is almost negligible. However, further extending the steam curing time to 7 d increases the strength gap between 20% GBFS blended cement mortar and pure cement mortar, and the related mechanism is discussed. |
