Case histories concerning the placing of superplasticizers self-leveling concrete without any vibration at all and published in the 19870's are reexamined to compare them with the present SCCs. The paper deals with the ingredients of the mixtures (superplasticizers, cement, fly ash, ground limestone, silica fume, etc.) by examining their specific role in determining the main properties of these concretes, such as fluidity, on the one hand, and resistance to segregation, on the other. Some interesting new materials, such as ground fly ash or powder from recycled aggregates, appear to be very promising for manufacturing SCC in agreement with the requirements needed for sustainable progress.","PeriodicalId":387601,"journal":{"name":"SP-217: Seventh CANMET/ACI International Conference on Superplasticizers and Other Chemical Admixtures in Concrete","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127950437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to prevent these incompatibility phenomena between PNS and cement, establishing a model for estimating the quantitative dispersing ability of PNS is important. A model for predicting PNS performance from several limited parameter based on the fundamental equation of Langmuir type adsorption isotherms is induced. The fluidity model of cement paste containing PNS is show as a conceptualized diagram in Figure 12. The model proposed in this study can explain the well-known effects of alkali sulfate, free lime and calcium sulfate. The optimum content of alkali sulfate for the highest flow can be explained by the concentration change. This model can be applied to various types of cement with diverse characteristics and to predict fluidity change with elapsed time.","PeriodicalId":387601,"journal":{"name":"SP-217: Seventh CANMET/ACI International Conference on Superplasticizers and Other Chemical Admixtures in Concrete","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114891757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, cracking adversely affects its durability, appearance, and functionality. A major cause of the cracking is related to shrinkage-induced strains, creating stresses when concrete is restrained. Shrinkage reducing admixtures (SRA's) have been used for several years to reduce drying and autogenous shrinkage. However, their uses in temperature environments were limited due to difficulties in producing good quality air void systems needed for freeaing and thawing resistance. This paper shows that good air void systems and freezing and thawing performance are obtainable with a new formulation of a glycol ether SRA. This formulation is very compatible with polycarboxylate type superplasticizers and calcium nitrite corrosion inhibitor. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that in addition to improving shrinkage and cracking performance, permeability and corrosion performance are improved.","PeriodicalId":387601,"journal":{"name":"SP-217: Seventh CANMET/ACI International Conference on Superplasticizers and Other Chemical Admixtures in Concrete","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123904941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, it reduces both viscosity and the amount of force required to initiate fresh concrete flow from a stationary state. These results indicate that the new superplasticizers will help improve the placeability of ultra high-strength concrete. Regarding SPN leading to a reduction of ion concentration in the liquid phase, an excellent utilization of SPN is suggested.","PeriodicalId":387601,"journal":{"name":"SP-217: Seventh CANMET/ACI International Conference on Superplasticizers and Other Chemical Admixtures in Concrete","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129143727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, early hydration products have to be studied to investigate their mode of action. The experiments in this paper demonstrate that ettringite is a preferred phase for the adsorption of polycondensate or polycarboxylate based superplasticizers, whereas polycondensate amd polycarboxylate practically show no signs of adsorption. For polycarboxylate adsorption, time of addition to ettringite is not important whereas polycondensates adsorb much less when addition is delayed. Adsorption does not seem to occur and therefore cannot explain the different behavior of polycondensates. The presence of superplasticizers during ettringite formation reduces the crystal size of ettringite. The effect is particularly strong for polycondensate superplasticizers. There was no influence on ettringite morphology or quantity formed found.","PeriodicalId":387601,"journal":{"name":"SP-217: Seventh CANMET/ACI International Conference on Superplasticizers and Other Chemical Admixtures in Concrete","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123360560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chemical admixtures include air-entraining admixture (vinsol), water-reducing admixture (lingosulfonate group), various high-range water-reducing and air-entraining admixtures (naphthalene, melamine, polycarboxyl and amino-sulfonate group), and drying shrinkage reducing mixture (glycol ether plus amino alcohol derivatives). The specimens were tested for carbonation depths, chloride ingress, oxygen permeability, electrochemical and physical evaluations of corrosion of steel bars in concrete, porosity and mineralogy of the mortar portion, and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) investigation of steel-concrete interface. Naphthalene group of high-range water-reducing and air-entraining chemical admixture shows relatively better performance with respect to the strength development and chloride ion ingress in concrete. The use of shrinkage reducing admixture shows no harmful effects after 20 years of exposure.

Another example of particular interest is the combination of a PoluOxyEthylen DIPhosphonate (POEDP) with a Plasticizer. Some results have shown that the Plasticizer improves somehow the reactivity of the POEDP. Considering that Trisulfoaluminate forms at the early stage of the hydration of cement and that this reaction has a significant influence on the rheological properties of the paste the influence of POEPD and plasticizer combinations on the synthesis of Ettringite was analyzed.
