Nonconventional Concrete Technologies: Renewal of the Highway Infrastructure

Chemical Formulas of Cement Materials

C

CaO

H

H2O

S

SiO2

SO3

A

Al2O3

N

Na2O

F

Fe2O3

K

K2O

M

MgO

C3S

3CaO·SiO2 = tricalcium silicate = alite

C2S

2CaO·SiO2 = dicalcium silicate = belite

C3A

3CaO·Al2O3 = tricalcium aluminate

C4AF

4CaO·Al2O3·Fe2O3 = calcium alumino ferrite

C-S-H

Calcium silicate hydrate, a colloidal and mostly amorphous gel with a variable composition; this is the major hydration product of Portland cement, constituting approximately 70 percent of the paste, and is the phase providing most of the strength and binding

CH

Calcium hydroxide, a hydration product constituting approximately 20 percent of the paste and, while contributing little to the overall strength, buffers the paste pore solution to a pH of approximately 12.5

Afm

Tetra-calcium aluminate trisulfate hydrate, usually with some substitution of Al by Fe and SO4 substituting for hydroxyl

Below are the first 10 and last 10 pages of uncorrected machine-read text (when available) of this chapter, followed by the top 30 algorithmically extracted key phrases from the chapter as a whole.
Intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text on the opening pages of each chapter. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.
