A Fundamental Study on the Hydration and micro Structure of high Strength Concrete Used by high Calcium Sulfate Cement

고황산염 시멘트를 이용한 고강도 콘크리트의 수화거동과 미세구조에 관한 기초적 연구

The purpose of this fundamental study is to investigate the mechanism of high strength concrete using the high calcium sulfate cement from a point of view in cement hydration and micro structure. As a results, it was found that the internal pores of concrete are decreased by using the high calcium sulfate cement, because the hydrates of Ettringite which is densified in structure is much formed in early ages at steam curing. In addition to the ettringite needs the 32 times of free water formed mixing water for hydration. This effect are not only decreased the water to cement ratio and also increase to comp, strength of concrete. It was conclude that these above the two facts are the main mechanism of high strength concrete using high calcium sulfate cement.
