Effect of Cement Characteristics on Concrete Properties

摘要: This publication discusses how different cement characteristics affect properties of fresh and hardened concrete. Cement include chemical composition (main composition, Bogue calculation, alkalies, sulfates, minor components, loss on ignition, insoluble residue) physical (fineness, particle size distribution, setting, compressive strength, heat hydration, soundness). Concrete cover concrete (workability, water requirement, slump, rheology, setting time, bleeding, admixture compatibility, hydration) (strength, shrinkage, air content, transport properties) including durability (alkali silica reation (ASR), chloride permeability, sulfate resistance)). Summary tables compare the changes in with predicted or observed behavior.
