Prehydration of Portland cement is known in the field to sometimes cause unexpected loss of performance, especially in presence of admixtures, such as slump loss, set retardation, slow strength development. Actual mechanisms are not well understood. Nanocem pre-study to examine if the general phenomenon of prehydration can be scientifically investigated (analytical tools and methods).showed that field problems can be readily reproduced in the lab and researched with modern analytical tools.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 1411175In the frame of this project we obtained wen knowledge in the field of use of meta-kaoline and fly-ash for the production of fiber-cement composites. We also showed, that by using rheological measurements, it is possible to determine the quality of cement used for the preparation of the composites.
