Distribution of Water in Synthetic Calcium Silicate Hydrates [PDF]
Understanding calcium silicate hydrates (CSHs) is of paramount importance for understanding the behavior of cement materials because they control most of the properties of these man-made materials. The atomic scale water content and structure have a major influence on their properties, as is analogous with clay minerals, and we should assess these ...

Nanoscale origins of creep in calcium silicate hydrates [PDF]
AbstractThe time-dependent response of structural materials dominates our aging infrastructure’s life expectancy and has important resilience implications. For calcium-silicate-hydrates, the glue of cement, nanoscale mechanisms underlying time-dependent phenomena are complex and remain poorly understood.

Compatibility studies of N-A-S-H and C-A-S-H Gels in Alkali-Activated Geopolymer Mortar [PDF]
The primary reaction products in the alkali-activated green tuff alumino-silicate geopolymer mortar are Natrium (sodium) Aluminum-Silicate Hydrate (N-A-S-H) and Calcium Aluminum-Silicate Hydrate (C-A-S-H) gels.

Utilization of ZeoliticWaste in Alkali-Activated Biomass Bottom Ash Blends
This study aims to investigate the effects of ammonium-bearing zeolitic waste (FCC) on alkali-activated biomass bottom ash (BBA). FCC was obtained from the oil-cracking process in petroleum plants.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The calcium silicate hydrates [PDF]
This article is concernedwith the calciumsilicate hydrates, including crystallineminerals and the extremely variable and poorly ordered phase (C-S-H)\ud that is the main binding phase in most concrete. Up-to-date composition and crystal-structure information is tabulated for the most important crystalline\ud calcium(alumino) silicate hydrates and ...

Effects of slag powder/metakaolin on the early performance of natural hydraulic lime
Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) has exceptional application in restoring ancient buildings compared to Portland cement and conventional air-hardening lime, but the characteristic of slow early performance development limits its fields of application.

Calcium silicate hydrate—in-situ development of the silicate structure followed by infrared spectroscopy [PDF]
In the current study, the development of the silicate structure of synthetic calcium silicate hydrates with different calcium contents was followed by in-situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy and correlated to the in-situ phase development evaluated by X-ray ...
