The effects of gypsum content of cement and other factors on shrinkage and cracking tendency of concretes are investigated by methods described in a previous paper. An essential feature of the method is that prisms of the concretes are permitted to dry from only one side. It is found that there is in general an optimum gypsum content for each ...
The results showed that an increase in the gypsum content of cement promoted the formation of ettringite (AFt) and decreased the setting times of cement …
However, the effects are modified by the gypsum content of the cement. Thus the effect on early strength seems to be absent when gypsum content is higher …
The primary function of gypsum in cement lies in slowing down the hydration process. Cement, upon contact with water, swiftly reacts with C3A, leading to rapid hardening. …
The total sulphate to which the tablets were exposed was a little higher because of the sulphate content (mainly gypsum) of the portland cement itself. Chemical analysis of the cement gave an SOs content of 2.63% which would add the equivalent of 0.1 g gypsum per tablet to the above quantities.
The gypsum content has a great effect on the early strength of ACSA cement. When the SO 3 /Al 2 O 3 molar ratio is 1.0 (i.e., the gypsum dosage is 3.4 wt%), the 1d, 3d, 28d, and 56d compressive strength can be improved by 51.3%, 22.2%, 3.0%, and 8.2% respectively compared with that of the blank sample.
Gypsum concrete can be normal weight (with an average density 1800–2500 kg/m 3), lightweight (500–1800 kg/m 3) and extra-lightweight (less than 500 kg/m 3). For normal …
LC3 cement is a type of cement that uses high additions contents, counting on the synergistic reaction between calcined clay and limestone to obtain mechanical strengths similar to those of traditional cements. This research intends to investigate the influence of the gypsum content on the compressive strength of a LC3 cement.
This study investigates the impact of gypsum and Portland cement as binding agents on the stabilization of soft sediment. Eight combinations of gypsum and Portland cement were studied to identify the optimum gypsum content for a total binder content of 8% (by wet weight of sediment).

With an abundance of literature in support, the present study investigates the effect of using nano-gypsum in cement admixed silty soil and analysing the effect of this novel stabilising agent (NG-cement mix) on the mechanical properties of a soft silty soil. ... In order to prepare soil samples containing nano-gypsum, the optimal cement ...
The effect of gypsum blending on mechanical properties of CSA cement was studied by measuring compressive strength of hydrated cement pastes (Fig. 2). The addition of gypsum to CSA cement favours the formation of more space-filling ettringite over monosulfate. Higher strength of such matrix has been reported in earlier studies [9, …
Considering Portland cement to be $90/ton and gypsum to be $30/ton (Kimball and Jewell 2016), a one cubic meter of mixture with the density of 1.4 (gr/cm3) with 8% Portland cement (112 kg, or of the total binder content) would cost $10.08, while a mixture of 2% gypsum (28 kg, or 25% of the total binder content) and 6% Portland cement (84 ...
Gypsum plays a crucial role in cement. Though it is used in a small quantity, in the range of 2.5-3.0 percent in terms of SO3, gypsum's role in cement is significant, more predominantly at early ages.
Gypsum somewhat accelerated the rate of hydration of PC when added below the optimum SO 3 content, but produced significant retardation when the addition exceeded the optimum. At a given degree of hydration, or at a given BET surface area, strength of the paste increased with the increase in the SO 3 content of the cement. No …
This research was conducted to investigate the effect of adding different contents of gypsum to fine aggregate as a replacement by weight on some properties of two types of concrete {self ...
Ganjian et al. (2008) added that a mix of 15% gypsum, 5% cement bypass dust and 80% basic oxygen slag was the optimum combination of a novel cementitious blend used successfully in site trials to stabilize subgrade soil in Nottinghamshire. ... Regarding the effect of gypsum content on soil strength, it can be noticed that the role …
Effects of Gypsum on Cement. Gypsum prevents Flash Setting of cement during manufacturing. It retards the setting time of cement. Allows a longer working time for mixing, transporting and placing. When water …
When a low-heat portland blast-furnace slag cement is used, the thermal expansion strain of the concrete shows reversal shrinkage in spite of a continuous temperature rising as a result of abrupt ...
The mix was pumped by the helical pump UP-Pictor (item #1, Fig. 3 a), connected to the 3 HP-air compressor (item #2, Fig. 3 a) and transported through the hose up to a spray gun. This type of pump is adequate for fluids like cement pastes and mortars in contrast with piston pumps that are indicated to handle fluids with coarser particles …
An interesting effect of initial Gypsum content on the Pseudo Formula Mass of CSH calibrated using the internal standard for PONKS analysis has been observed as can be seen in Fig. 10. The Pseudo Formula Mass of CSH steadily increases with the increase of initial Gypsum content starting from 6% and almost linearly up to 30%.
When low-heat portland blast-furnace slag cement is used, the thermal expansion strain of concrete shows reversal deformation in spite of the continuous tempera
2.2.1. Preparation of AMCSA Clinker and Cement . The mineral composition design of AMCSA clinker is shown in Table 2.A certain amount of SO 3 can improve the viscosity of liquid phase, increase the quantity of the liquid phase, benefit the formation of C 3 S, and stabilize the crystal form of C 3 S. However, excessive SO 3 will inhibit the …

Alkanolamines are commonly used complexing agents in the cement industry. Due to its surface activation effect on cement clinker particles, it is commonly used as cement grinding aids [44], [45].When used as chemical admixtures, it can accelerate the early hydration process of cement by complexing with metal ions [46], [47].Among them, …

The Portland cement CEM I is a powdery substance made from clinker and gypsum. Clinker is formed after firing a raw mill of limestone and clay at around 1450 °C, where chemical reactions take place to form essentially, calcium silicates (C 3 S, C 2 S) and aluminates (C 3 A, C 4 AF). Cement hydration is the chemical process that allows these …

It is moreover to be emphasized that strength properties and durability are closely related to the gypsum content of the cement (3). The influence of gypsum content on the development of mechanical strength is well known (4). There is in fact an optimum gypsum content allowing the highest compressive strength value to be reached.
