RHEOLOGY OF FRESH PORTLAND CEMENT PASTES-INFLUENCE OF CALCIUM SULFATES
A STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE VARIOUS FORMS OF CALCIUM SULFATE ON THE FLOW PROPERTIES OF FRESH PORTLAND CEMENT PASTES WAS MADE WITH A COAXIAL CYLINDER VISCOMETER. BOTH CALCIUM SULFATE HEMI-HYDRATE CASO4.1/2 H20 AND SOLUBLE ANHYDRITE CASO4 PRODUCED HIGH APPARENT VISCOSITIES AND YIELD VALUES IN PASTES OF CLINKER OR QUARTZ. THESE PROPERTIES ARE ATTRIBUTED TO THE NETWORK OF GYPSUM CRYSTALS FORMED FROM THE SUPERSATURATED SOLUTIONS PRODUCED BY THESE SULFATES. WITHOUT THE ADDITION OF CALCIUM SULFATE, THE TRICALCIUM ALUMINATES HYDRATE QUICKLY AND THE PASTES STIFFEN ABNORMALLY. SHEAR THICKENING PROPERTIES ARE PRODUCED IN QUARTZ POWDER ANHYDRITE. HOWEVER, A SIMILAR TREND IS NOT DEFINITELY SHOWN BY PASTES MADE FROM CLINKER AND THESE CALCIUM SULFATES . A CEMENT WAS HEATED AT 120 C TO DEHYDRATE THE GYPSUM AND A PASTE OF THIS CEMENT EXHIBITED A SHEAR THICKENING FLOW BEHAVIOR. /AUTHOR/
