Generation and stabilization of air bubbles in air-entrained belite-rich cement concrete
The air-entraining and bubble-stabilizing mechanisms of air-entraining agents (AEAs) in belite-rich cement (BRC) systems characterized by high C2S/low C3A remain unclear. This study conducted a comparative investigation on the bubble generation and stabilization behaviors of AEAs with different ionic types in BRC and portland cement (PC) concretes. The underlying mechanisms governing bubble dynamics were explored through comprehensive characterizations, including ionic composition analysis, surface tension measurements, Zeta potential tests, rheological property evaluations, and the chemical composition analysis of bubble shells. Results show that compared with PC concrete, AEAs exhibited lower bubble generation efficiency in BRC. This phenomenon is primarily driven by the lower Na+/K+ concentrations, ionic strength, and viscosity, as well as the higher SO42−/early-stage Ca2+ concentrations in BRC. Additionally, the air-void spacing factor in hardened BRC concrete with ionic AEAs was lower than that of PC, which can be attributed to the lower surface tension, and weaker bubble/AEAs - cement particle interaction in BRC system.
期刊介绍:
Cement & concrete composites focuses on advancements in cement-concrete composite technology and the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. It covers a wide range of materials, including fiber-reinforced composites, polymer composites, ferrocement, and those incorporating special aggregates or waste materials. Major themes include microstructure, material properties, testing, durability, mechanics, modeling, design, fabrication, and practical applications. The journal welcomes papers on structural behavior, field studies, repair and maintenance, serviceability, and sustainability. It aims to enhance understanding, provide a platform for unconventional materials, promote low-cost energy-saving materials, and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering, and construction. Special issues on emerging topics are also published to encourage collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers, and fabricators.
