Evaluatio

28、n of an Accelerated Characterization Method for Pozzolanic Reactivity 1.3 1.0 INTRODUCTION Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are very important to the concrete industry due to the benefits they provide in terms of sustainability, economy, and long-term concrete durability. According to AST

29、M International, SCMs are inorganic materials that can contribute to the properties of cementitious mixtures through hydraulic and/or pozzolanic activity (ASTM C 125, 2014). As such they are often used as a partial cement replacement in concrete. Some of the traditional SCMs, like fly ash, are indus

30、trial by-products, which make them cheaper and more sustainable to use in concrete mixtures than ordinary portland cement, whose worldwide production is responsible for 5% of the global anthropogenic CO2 emissions (Humphreys and Mahasenan, 2002). However, due to existing and evolving environmental r

31、egulations (EPA, 2014a-c; Heidrich et al., 2013; Sear, 2009; Barnes and Sear, 2006), there has been a considerable amount of concern regarding the future availability of traditional SCM sources like fly ash. This has prompted the search for alternative materials that could replace traditional SCMs i

32、n concrete and provide similar strength and durability benefits. One of the most important criteria when qualifying new materials as SCMs is to look at their pozzolanic reactivity, which is their ability to react with calcium hydroxide (CH) in the presence of water to form calcium silicate hydrate (

33、C-S-H). Understanding the pozzolanic reactivity is crucial as it gives an indication of the strength and durability benefits that can be derived from the use of the SCMs. ASTM C 618, the standard specification for fly ash and natural pozzolans, measures pozzolanic reactivity indirectly by looking at

34、 strength activity index (SAI), which is the ratio of compressive strength between the SCM containing mortar and the control mortar with no SCMs (ASTM C 618, 2012a; ASTM C 311, 2011b). More direct methods of assessing pozzolanic reactivity include measuring the reduction of calcium hydroxide in ceme

35、ntitious pastes over time through quantitative x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and chemical titration methods like the Frattini test (Tironi et al., 2013; Donatello et al., 2010). However, both direct and indirect tests to evaluate pozzolanic reactivity take a considerabl

36、e amount of time (7 28 d) due to the slow nature of pozzolanic reactions in cementitious pastes. Although there are faster tests that evaluate pozzolanic reactivity by measuring electrical conductivity of solutions containing pozzolans and lime, previous literature has shown these tests to be unreli

37、able. A detailed review of the problems associated with electrical conductivity tests can be found in a journal article by Velazquez et al. (2014). The Chapelle test, which is the focus of the current paper, is a quick test from the French standard, NF P 18-513, Annexe A (2010), designed to measure

38、the pozzolanic reactivity of metakaolin. The Chapelle test accelerates the pozzolanic reaction by using high temperatures, and measures the amount of calcium hydroxide that can be fixed (consumed) by the SCM in a saturated lime solution during a 16 h time period. Although the Chapelle test has been

39、used in previous literature to measure the pozzolanic reactivity of metakaolin, zeolites and fly ashes (Paiva et al., 2012; Taylor-Lange et al., 2012; Ninov et al., 2011; Perraki et al., 2005; Antiohos et al., 2005; Kostuch et al., 1993), very little research has been conducted to evaluate the accur

40、acy of the Chapelle test to predict pozzolanic potential. As such, the current study has compared the results of Chapelle testing on different SCMs to values derived from more traditional methods of evaluating pozzolanic reactivity like SAI and TGA. Since the Chapelle test is conducted at elevated t

41、emperatures for a non-cementitious system, comparing the results to other test methods, which are performed at ambient temperatures for a cementitious system, can give valuable insight as to whether the Chapelle test can reliably predict the pozzolanic performance of an SCM in concrete. Furthermore,

42、 since the Chapelle test was originally designed for metakaolin, a variety of SCMs have been used in the current research to observe whether the test can be reliably used for a range of materials with different physical and chemical characteristics. 2.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1 Materials In the cur

43、rent study, the pozzolanic reactivity of 11 different SCMs was tested. The SCMs were sourced in the US from Texas, Idaho and Nevada. The 11 SCMs represent a broad range of physical and chemical characteristics, and consist of three pumices, three zeolites, expanded perlite, vitric ash, metakaolin, c

44、alcined shale and fly ash. The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) oxide compositions of the SCMs are presented in Table 1 and were analyzed according to ASTM Saamiya Seraj and Maria C.G. Juenger 1.4 D 4326 (2011). The particle size distributions of the SCMs were also measured to observe whether the Chapelle t

45、est was sensitive to differences in particle size, when the chemical composition of the SCMs was identical. The particle size distributions of the SCMs were analyzed using a laser scattering particle size distribution analyzer and are presented in Figure 1. Along with the SCMs, inert quartz filler w

46、as also evaluated in the Chapelle test to observe the resulting CH fixed values produced by the test when a non-reactive material was tested. One cement was used for all the mixtures and it was an ASTM C 150 (2011) Type I portland cement sourced in Texas, USA. The sand used for all mortar mixtures w

47、as standard graded sand from Ottawa, Illinois, which met all the requirements of ASTM C 778 (2012). The calcium oxide (CaO) used in the Chapelle test was analysis grade, with a purity of 97%. Before testing, the CaO is heated to a temperature of 900C to ensure that calcium hydroxide and calcium carb

48、onate is not present. The CaO is then stored in the desiccator until tested. The sucrose used in the Chapelle test was of 99.7% purity. 2.2 Chapelle Test According to the instructions in NF P 18-513, Annexe A (2010), for the Chapelle test, 1 g (0.002 lb) of pozzolan, 2 g of (0.004 lb) CaO and 250 ml

49、 (0.066 gal) of deionized water were combined in a flask and stirred for 16 h at 85C (185F), using a stirring-heating pad. A blank test, without any SCM was also run. After 16 h, the solution was cooled to ambient temperature (23C (73F) within 15 min, using a combination of running water and ice bath. Immediately after cooling, 60 g (0.13 lbs) of sucrose (in 250 ml (0.066 gal) of water) was added to the solution and stirred for 15 min. 200 ml (0.05 gallons) of the solution was then filtered using a P2 grade filter paper (1-5 m (0.00004-0.0002 in). Five drops of 0.1%
