This research work discusses both the physical and durability characteristics of newly blended cement containing waste crushed brick. This waste is used as a partial substitution for clinker in cement. Thus, blended cements are obtained by grinding and homogenizing clinker, waste brick, and gypsum. Four compositions containing 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of waste materials were prepared and submitted to various characterization tests. The introduction of brick powder improved the physical characteristics, therefore; it improved the mechanical properties and durability performance of the new cement compared to the reference, prepared with 0% addition. More particularly, it resisted sulfuric acid (H2SO4) attack after fixation of portlandite by pozzolan.

This paper investigates the application of natural zeolite as a substitute of cement in concrete. It studies the mechanical and durability properties of concretes containing 10% of natural zeolite and superplasticizer, as well as 10% of natural zeolite, superplasticizer and an air-entraining agent in comparison to concretes without natural zeolite. The study shows that fresh concrete mixture containing zeolite due to its high surface area demands a higher dosage of superplasticizer to achieve the targeted slump flow. While concretes containing natural zeolite characterize a lower compressive strength until 90 days of hardening, the compressive strength exceeds the strength of the concretes without zeolite after 180 days. The results also reveal the considerable effectiveness of using a superplasticizer and an air-entraining agent in zeolite incorporating concretes on water penetration, drying shrinkage and freeze–thaw resistance of concretes.

Przeprowadzono obserwacje mikrostruktury próbek betonu z proszków reaktywnych po różnym okresie hydratacji, przy zastosowaniu najnowszych typów mikroskopów skaningowych. Są to mikroskopy o zmiennej próżni i z zastosowaniem pary wodnej, o wysokiej zdolności rozdzielczej. W wyniku badań stwierdzono, że dodatek superpastyfikatora znacznie opóźnia proces hydratacji i zakłóca wzrost kryształów ettringitu. W początkowym okresie hydratacji ziarna klinkieru < 2 um ulegają częściowemu lub całkowitemu rozpuszczeniu, co powoduje powstawanie pustek z otoczkami w mikrostrukturze matrycy. Wiązanie pomiędzy matrycą i kruszywem jest bardzo mocne i w strefie przejściowej nie występują pory. Natomiast reakcja pucolanowa pyłów krzemionkowych jest słabo zaawansowana, z uwagi na mały stosunek w/c.

The UHPC microstructure, after different time of hydration, was examined with high resolution SEM imaging techniques. ESEM in WET mode for early hydration process and NanoSEM for extremely dense microstructure. The obtained results have shown that high addition of superplasticizer caused the strong retardation of hydration process. The growth of ettringite is also influenced. At early hydration the clinker particles < 2 um are often partially or completely dissolved, resulting in hollow shells formation in the microstructure. The bond between matrix and aggregate is very strong and the interfacial zone shows no gaps. However, the pozzolanic reaction of silica fume shows low advancement, because of water shortage caused by very small w/b ratio.
