| description | This study investigates the influence of various factors on the performance of ternary binders, utilizing statistical approaches. The research focuses on the influence of varying compositions of Portland Cement-Calcium Aluminate Cement-Calcium Sulphate (PC-CAC-CŜ), types and amounts of mineral powders, and chemical admixtures in ternary binders. Using the Taguchi design, the study required a limited number of experimental trials, utilizing a standard orthogonal array of seven factors across three levels. These factors encompassed binder composition (C1-C2-C3), mineral powder types (limestone, quartz, slag), replacement ratio (0%, 25%, 50%), retarder (0%, 0.1%, 0.2%), superplasticizer, viscosity modifying agent (stabilizer) and accelerator (0%, 0.05%, 0.1%). Measurements on hydration kinetics, dimensional stability, compressive strength, and microstructural analyses like X-ray diffraction were conducted. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed to interpret the continuous data derived from heat of hydration curves, length change curves and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. Results indicated that retarder quantity and binder type significantly impacted paste workability. Higher powder content led to reduced strength, whereas increased accelerator improved strength. A strong correlation was observed between accelerator content and the dimensional stability. The primary hydration product’s formation was predominantly influenced by the PC-CAC-CŜ ratio, accelerator, and cement substitutions. |
