CEMENT AND CONCRETE CHEMISTRY - WIESLAW KURDOWS...

This monograph describes cement clinker formation. It covers multicomponent systems  clinker
phase structures and their reactions with water  hydrate composition and structure  as well as
their physical properties. The mineral additions to cement are described as are their influence
on cement-paste properties. Special cements are also discussed. The microstructure of concrete
is then presented  and special emphasis is given to the role of the interfacial transition zone
and the corrosion processes in the light of cement-phase composition  mineral additions and w c
ratio. The admixtures' role in modern concrete technology is described with an emphasis on
superplasticizer chemistry and its cement-paste rheological modification mechanism. Cement with
atypical properties  such as calcium aluminate  white  low energy and expansive cements are
characterized. The last part of the book is devoted to special types of concrete such as self
compacting and to reactive powders.
