Proton spin–lattice relaxation study of the hydration of self-stressed expansive cement

Proton spin–lattice relaxation, compressive strength, and water tightness measurements have been undertaken in order to study the hydration process and the mechanical properties of Portland cement modified with a calcium sulfoaluminate-based expansive additive (EXPAD). The compression strength of th...

Description
Summary:Proton spin–lattice relaxation, compressive strength, and water tightness measurements have been undertaken in order to study the hydration process and the mechanical properties of Portland cement modified with a calcium sulfoaluminate-based expansive additive (EXPAD). The compression strength of the modified cement was more than 70% higher while water permeability was about 60% smaller than in the unmodified cement. Magnetization–recovery curves analysis allowed for a time-resolved monitoring of both the increase of the internal surface as well as the formation of solid products during the hydration. A significant difference between the hydration kinetics of modified and unmodified cement was observed.
