Construction and Demolition Waste Ballast as a Pozzolanic Addition in Binary Cements: Characterization and Thermodynamic Stability

The use of raw materials from the recovery of construction waste is frequent. In this study, the waste is obtained from degraded railway ballast, made up of siliceous minerals. This material is added directly to the mixtures to replace part of the cement, forming a good quality cementitious product....

Sumario:The use of raw materials from the recovery of construction waste is frequent. In this study, the waste is obtained from degraded railway ballast, made up of siliceous minerals. This material is added directly to the mixtures to replace part of the cement, forming a good quality cementitious product. The pozzolanic reaction is studied within the waste/lime system in a solid phase and water system for one year. Reaction products such as stratlingite, layered double hydroxide-type compounds, hydrated tetracalcic aluminate, and gels appear. The formation of stratlingite and gels was favored throughout the reaction. The reaction was monitored, calculating the saturation index.
