Effect of Thermal Curing on Early Hydration Properties of Mass Concrete with Different Active Mineral Admixtures
This paper studied the influence of fly ash(FA)and ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBS)in mass concrete on the early compressive strength of cement under thermal curing conditions,and discussed the hydration reaction process by hydration heat,XRD and TGA.The results show that the addition of FA and GGBS can greatly reduce the early strength at room temperature;the early strength of FA-cement system is still much lower than that of the blank group during thermal curing;however,with the increase of the amount of GGBS and the thermal curing temperature,the early strength of system is closer and closer to the blank group;the early strength of GGBS-cement system is higher than that of blank group when the curing temperature is 50℃ .This indicates that under the condition of thermal excitation,the early temperature is 50℃ .This indicates that under the condition of thermal excitation,the early pozzolanic reaction of fly ash is still limited,but the early hydration activity of mineral powder is significantly improved,and the accumulation of hydration products is completed through pozzolanic reaction and auto-hydration reaction.
