Nano-structural and nano-constraint behavior of mortar containing silica aggregates
In this study, nano-structural and nano-constraints behavior of two silica aggregate mortars are investigated. The first silica aggregate (A) is almost pure silica and the second one (B) contains silica, calcite and dolomite phases. The relationship between the durability and nano-structural changes...

description | In this study, nano-structural and nano-constraints behavior of two silica aggregate mortars are investigated. The first silica aggregate (A) is almost pure silica and the second one (B) contains silica, calcite and dolomite phases. The relationship between the durability and nano-structural changes is evidenced using Transmission Electron Microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and TGA/DTA. The nano-structural results show that the macroscopic properties of mortars greatly depend on physico-chemical properties of aggregates. Higher the water absorption, higher the consumption of the Portlandite; the consumption of Portlandite, after 28 days of curing, is more in Bm sample than in Am sample. A relationship between the Portlandite content and the water absorption is evidenced. The relationship between reactivity and nano-constraints deduced from XRD modeling is highlighted. |
