Abstract
This research aims to verify the effect of NS functionalization with different mass ratios of shrinkage reducing additive (SRA) in cementitious composites. Four functionalized nanosilicas were produced, one with amine groups (NSFA) and three with different mass ratios of SRA/NSFA (5 %, 10 % and 15 %), named NSFArr. The properties of six different pastes were investigated, one produced only with Portland cement CP V-ARI and five replacing 1 % of Portland cement by NS and the mentioned functionalized nanosilicas. The compressive strength at 2, 7 and 28 days of hydration, the amount of CH and C-S-H through the XRD, TGA and FTIR techniques, as well as the porosity at 28 days of hydration through mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) were evaluated. The functionalization of NSFArr with different amounts of SRA caused a change in the hydration kinetics of the pastes, which impacted the mechanical performance and porous structure of the pastes. It was possible to observe an increase in the mechanical performance of the pastes with NSFArr at 28 days compared to the paste with NS, making this material promising for use in high-performance concretes.
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.
