Adding limestone fines to reduce heat generation of curing concrete

摘要: It is well known that the heat generation of curing concrete may be reduced by decreasing cement paste volume concrete. However, as must more than sufficient to fill voids between aggregate particles, should not limitlessly decreased. Herein, it proposed add an inert filler, such limestone fines, into particles so a smaller used and further reduced. To study effectiveness adding fines in reducing concrete, series mixes with water/cement ratios ranging from 0·35 0·60 different amounts added were tested for their workability, strength generation. The results revealed addition decrease would significantly increase and, importantly, substantially reduce ge...
