Abstract:An investigation was conducted to determine how Ordinary Portland Cement and several unconventional cementitious additives, such as magnetite, chamotte, perlite, boron carbide, and more common powdered quartz, affected the behaviour of hardened cement paste when subjected to high temperatures. The test was conducted using a constant water–fines ratio of 0.3. The water–cement ratios were nevertheless 0.25 and 0.222 as a result of the two fine replacement ratios (20% and 35%, respectively). Seven heat steps were… Show more
