Influence of quartz powder and silica fume on the performance of Portland cement

Supplementary cementitious materials interact chemically and physically with cement, influencing the formation of hydrate compounds. Many authors have analyzed the filler and pozzolanic effect. However, few studies have explored the influence of these effects on hydration, properties in the fresh an...

Many authors have analyzed the filler and pozzolanic effect. However, few studies have explored the influence of these effects on hydration, properties in the fresh and hardened states, and durability parameters of cementitious composites separately. This study investigates the influence of the replacement of 20% of Portland cement for silica fume (SF) or a 20-µm medium diameter quartz powder (QP) on the properties of cementitious composites from the first hours of hydration to a few months of curing.

The use of SF and QP reduces the released energy at early times to the control paste, indicating that these materials reduce the heat of hydration. The microstructure with fewer pores of SF compounds indicates that the pozzolanic reaction reduced pore size and binding capability, resulting in equivalent mechanical properties, reduced permeability and increased electrical resistance of the composites.

The results indicate that, unlike the filler effect, the occurrence of pozzolanic reaction strongly influences electrical resistance, reducing the risk of corrosion of the reinforcement inserted in the concrete.Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilENG - DEPARTAMENTO DE ENGENHARIA MATERIAIS E DA CONSTRUÇÃO CIVILENG - DEPARTAMENTO DE ENGENHARIA MECÂNICAUFMG2025-02-20T19:10:03Z2025-02-20T19:10:03Z2020-12-08info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlepdfapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-78567-w2045-2322http://hdl.handle.net/1843/80271https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1670-2376https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8051-062Xhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-0121-0881engScientific Reportsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Institucional da UFMGinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGLudmila Rodrigues Costa TavaresJoaquim Francisco Tavares JuniorLeonardo Martins CostaAugusto Cesar da Silva BezerraPaulo Roberto CetlinMaria Teresa Paulino Aguilar2025-02-20T19:10:04Zoai:repositorio.ufmg.br:1843/80271Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttps://repositorio.ufmg.br/oairepositorio@ufmg.bropendoar:2025-02-20T19:10:04Repositório Institucional da UFMG - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
