Abstract
This study examines the stability of dolomitic filler (DF), both in isolation and in interaction with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), when immersed in water media at different pH at 40 °C. Additionally, the interaction of DF with Portland cement (PC) is analyzed. In the presence of SCMs or PC, results reveal that DF undergoes dedolomitization in alkaline environments, which confirms the absence of brucite in this process. As corroboration, the volumetric stability of mortar bars containing 20 wt% DF is demonstrated and the compressive strength remained after immersion in pore water at 40 °C for 5 years.
期刊介绍:
Cement and Concrete Research is dedicated to publishing top-notch research on the materials science and engineering of cement, cement composites, mortars, concrete, and related materials incorporating cement or other mineral binders. The journal prioritizes reporting significant findings in research on the properties and performance of cementitious materials. It also covers novel experimental techniques, the latest analytical and modeling methods, examination and diagnosis of actual cement and concrete structures, and the exploration of potential improvements in materials.
