The strength development of a quaternary Portland cement composite system containing blast-furnace slag, zeolitic tuff and limestone powder is presented. The composition and particle size distribution of the constituents are optimized by the incremental coefficient of the surface activity of the zeolite-containing Portland composite cements. Zeolitic tuff and limestone powder of high specific surface area lead to the increase of the surface activity of the entire system and a corresponding improvement in the performance of the cement.
The paper is devoted to the research and development of modified plasters for restoration and finishing works based on decorative multicomponent cements containing white Portland cement and supplementary cementitious materials (silica fume, metakaolin and fine ground limestone). This cements are similar to Roman cement by their chemical composition. The use of optimal granulometry of decorative multicomponent cements provide directed formation of microstructure of the cement matrix with the formation of stable hydration products. Compositions of modified plasters by the criterions of workability and compressive strength were designed. Physico-chemical modification of plaster by complex air-entraining admixture allows to obtain high-quality modified plasters with improved quality parameters.
Technology organic and inorganic substances 39 effective methods of reducing CO 2 emissions in this sector consists in reduction of the clinker factor by means of a wider use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) [3, 4]. This practice also contributes to reduction of concrete price, raises its strength at later age of hardening and durability. At the same time, with introduction of SCMs, slowdown of strength gain kinetics is observed in the products based on blended cements [5]. According to EN 197-1:2015, main components of the conventional cement family include additives of natural and 1. Introduction Implementation of the concept of low-carbon development is an important component of strategic goals of the global economy. Cement industry has made significant progress in terms of production efficiency and technological processes. However, level of environmental pollution caused by cement production is steadily rising. It amounts to 2.34 Gt CO 2 /year, which relates to the current accelerating pace of construction in the world [1, 2].
