Slag cement increases the compressive and flexural strength of conventional concrete (Figures 1 and 2) and is often a vital component in producing high strength concrete. 28-day strengths generally increase as the percentage of slag cement increases, up to about50 percent slag cement as a percent of cementitious material.

Hydration of Portland Cement. Introduction Portland cement is a hydraulic cement, hence it derives its strength from chemical reactions between the cement and water. The process is known as hydration. Cement consists of the following major compounds (see composition of cement): Tricalcium silicate, C 3 S; Dicalcium silicate, C 2 S; Tricalcium ...

High-Strength Concrete. In the early 1970s, experts predicted that the practical limit of ready-mixed concrete would be unlikely to exceed a compressive strength greater than 11,000 pounds square inch (psi). Over the past two decades, the development of high-strength concrete has enabled builders to easily meet and surpass this estimate.

We investigated the effects of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on the strength and durability of Portland cement mortars. We comparatively assessed the performances of HRW-based mortars (HWMs) with respect to cement mortars fabricated from control water (CWM). The results indicate that the use of HRW significantly improves the compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strength of mortars at both ...

Corrosion Resistance of Concrete. Corrosion of this rebar caused spalling on a concrete step. The corrosion of reinforcing steel can be a problem in concrete structures. Corrosion of steel produces hydrated iron oxide or rust, which is very expansive. This expansion builds up internal pressure until the concrete fails in the form of spalling.
