Abstract
This study investigates the effect of CO2 curing on the resistance to elevated temperatures of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement paste. Water and CO2-cured CSA cement paste specimens were exposed to elevated temperatures of 150 °C, 300 °C, 500 °C, and 800 °C to evaluate their physicochemical and mechanical properties. The results demonstrate that CO2 infiltration alters the hydration mechanism of CSA cement, consequently enhancing its physical properties and thermal stability. Exposure to elevated temperatures induces changes in color and the formation of cracks in cement paste samples, with water-cured samples exhibiting more prominent cracks compared to CO2-cured samples. CO2-cured samples demonstrate less of a reduction in the compressive strength at high temperatures compared to water-cured samples, an outcome attributed to the enhanced stability and uniform pore size distribution. In conclusion, the CO2 curing process transforms ettringite and monosulfate into thermally stable calcium carbonate, which significantly enhances the thermal stability of the cement paste.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
