18、ER 1INTRODUCTION 1.1The need for a rational approach to selecting cements Cement paste is the binder in concrete or mortar that holdsthe fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, or other constituents to-gether in a hardened mass. The term hydraulic is associatedwith the word cement in this document to poin
19、t out to theconsumer that the basic mechanism by which the hardeningof the concrete or mortar takes place is the reaction of the ce-ment material with water. The word hydraulic also differen-tiates this type of cement from binder systems that are basedon other hardening mechanisms.The properties of
20、concrete depend on the quantities andqualities of its constituents. Because cement is the most activecomponent of concrete and usually has the greatest unit cost,its selection and proper use are important in obtaining mosteconomically the balance of properties desired for a particularconcrete mixtur
21、e. Most cements will provide adequate levelsof strength and durability for general use. Some providehigher levels of certain properties than are needed in specificapplications. For some applications, such as those requiringincreased resistance to sulfate attack, reduced heat evolution,or use with ag
22、gregates susceptible to alkali-aggregate reac-tion, special requirements should be imposed in the purchasespecifications. While failure to impose these requirementsmay have serious consequences, imposing these requirementsunnecessarily is not only uneconomical but may degrade oth-er more important p
23、erformance characteristics. For example,moderate sulfate resistance may be specified for certain plant-manufactured structural elements that require strength gain inthe production process. Because the compositional variationsthat impart sulfate resistance tend to reduce the rate ofstrength gain, som
24、e compromise must be made.The goal of the specifier is to provide specifications thatwill ensure that the proper amounts and types of cement areobtained to meet the structural and durability require-mentsno more, no less. Due to gaps in our knowledge, thisgoal is seldom, if ever, fully achieved; eco
25、nomies, however,can often be obtained with little or no decrease in perfor-mance in service, if specifications are aimed at this goal. For a long time, there have been virtually no economic pen-alties to discourage users and others from overspecifying ce-ment characteristics. For example, even thoug
26、h a fullysatisfactory ASTM C 150 Type I cement has been available,users have often chosen to specify an ASTM C 150 Type IIcement or a low-alkali cement on the basis that it could do noharm and its special characteristics might be beneficial. Theyhave not had to worry about possible shortages of supp
27、ly orincreased cost. The effects of increased attention to pollutionabatement and energy conservation, however, are changingthe availability and comparative costs of all types of cement.This brings about a need for greater understanding of factorsaffecting cement performance than was previously nece
28、ssary. It is usually satisfactory and advisable to use a general-pur-pose cement that is readily obtainable locally. General-pur-pose cements are described in ASTM C 150 as Type I or TypeII, in ASTM C 595 as Type IP or IS, and in ASTM C 1157 asType GU. When such a cement is manufactured and used inl
29、arge quantity, it is likely to be uniform and its performanceunder local conditions will be known. A decision to obtain aspecial type of cement may result in the improvement of oneaspect of performance at the expense of others. For this rea-son, a strong justification is usually needed to seek a cem
30、entother than a commonly available ASTM C 150 Type I orType II portland cement, or corresponding blended cement. 1.2Purpose of the report This report summarizes current information about thecomposition, availability, and factors affecting the perfor-mance of commercial hydraulic cements. Although th
31、eamount of information given may make it appear that select-ing cement for a specific purpose is complicated, this is onlytrue in unusual circumstances. The purpose of this report is to provide users with generalinformation on cements to help them recognize when a readilyavailable general-purpose ce
32、ment will perform satisfactorilyor when conditions may require selection of a special ce-ment. It will also aid the cement user by providing general in-formation on the effects of cements on the properties ofconcrete. Some chemical and physical characteristics of a ce-ment affect certain properties
33、of concrete in important ways.For other properties, the amount of cement is more important225R-3GUIDE TO THE SELECTION AND USE OF HYDRAULIC CEMENTSthan its characteristics. The report is not a treatise on cementchemistry or concrete; for those who need to know more,however, it provides references to
34、 the technical literature, in-cluding many ACI documents. CHAPTER 2CEMENT TYPES AND AVAILABILITY Before discussing the factors affecting cement perfor-mance, many types of inorganic cements will be mentioned.The purpose is to define the scope of this report by indicatingthose that will and will not
35、be included, as well as indicatingthe relationships among various types of cement. 2.1Portland and blended hydraulic cements Perhaps 99% of the cement used for concrete constructionin the U.S. is either a portland cement, as specified in ASTMC 150, or a blended cement, as specified in ASTM C 595 orC
36、 1157. Similar specifications are published by the Ameri-can Association of State Highway and Transportation Offi-cials (AASHTO) such as M85 for portland cements andM240 for blended cements, and by the Canadian StandardsAssociation (CSA). CAN/CSA 3A5M88 portland ce-ments are designated as Types 10,
37、20, 30, 40, or 50 and cor-respond in intended use to ASTM C 150 cement Types I, II,III, IV, or V, whereas CAN/CSAA362 covers blended hy-draulic cements.Portland cements are manufactured by a process that be-gins by combining a source of lime such as limestone, asource of silica and alumina such as c
38、lay, and a source ofiron oxide such as iron ore. The properly proportioned mix-ture of the raw materials is finely ground and then heated toapproximately 1500 C (2700 F) for the reactions that form ce-ment phases to take place. The product of the cement kiln isknown as portland-cement clinker. After
39、 cooling, the clinkeris ground with an addition of approximately 6% calcium sul-fate (gypsum) to form a portland cement. Blended hydraulic cements are usually made by grindingportland-cement clinker with calcium sulfate (gypsum) and aquantity of a suitable reactive material such as granulatedblast-f
40、urnace slag fly ash, silica fume, or raw or calcined nat-ural pozzolans. They may also be made by blending the finelyground ingredients.For specification purposes, portland and blended hydrau-lic cements are designated by type depending on their chem-ical composition and properties. The availability
41、 of a giventype of cement may vary widely among geographical re-gions. An appreciation of the relative consumption percent-ages and commonly used descriptions of portland andblended cements can be gained from the information givenin Tables 2.1 and 2.2.
