PROPERTIES OF EXPANSIVE CEMENT MADE WITH PORTLAND CEMENT, GYPSUM, AND CALCIUM ALUMINATE CEMENT

THE EXPANSIVE CEMENTS THAT WERE USED IN THE STUDIES REPORTED IN THE PRESENT PAPER WERE MADE BY MIXING PORTLAND CEMENT, CALCIUM ALUMINATE CEMENT, AND GYPSUM. MORTARS WERE USED IN THE INVESTIGATIONS, WHICH INCLUDED THE EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF COMPOSITION AND TIME AND TEMPERATURE OF CURE ON STRENGTH, FREE EXPANSION, SHRINKAGE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF STRESS IN RESTRAINED SPECIMENS. INFORMATION ON CONCRETES MADE WITH THE EXPANSIVE CEMENT DEVELOPED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA IS REVIEWED. THE PROPERTIES OF SUCH CONCRETES APPEAR GENERALLY COMPARABLE TO THOSE OBTAINED WITH THE MIXTURES OF PORTLAND CEMENT, CALCIUM ALUMINATE CEMENT, AND GYPSUM. /PCA/
