Concrete Technology Cementitious Materials, Admixtures & Beyond
Presented by: Joe Dan Johnson Sika Corporation Sr. Sales Rep.
A heterogeneous system of solid, discrete, gradiently sized, inorganic (mineral) aggregates, usually plutonic (feldspatho-silicaceous of ferromagnesian) or sedimentary calcareous in origins, embedded in a matrix compound of synthesized polybasic alkaline and alkaloidal silicates held in aqueous solution and coprecipitate dispersion with other amphoteric oxides, this matrix being originally capable of progressive dissolution, hydration, reprecipitation, gelatinization, and solidification through a continuous and coexistent series of crystalline, amorphous, colloidal, and crytocrystalline states and ultimately subject to thermoallotriomorphic alteration, the system when first conjoined being transiently plastic during which state it is impressed to a predetermined form into which it finally consolidates, thus providing a structure relatively impermeable and with useful capacity to transmit tensile, compressive, and shears tresses.

Silca Fume • By-product of producing silicon metal or
ferrosilicon alloys The “smoke” produced by the smelter is silica fume
• Ultra fine silca (85-96%) between 50 and 100 times finer then OPC
• Specific Gravity is 2.2 • Black in color • Good for high strength concrete • Can make plastic concrete “sticky”

How Do Mineral Components Work in Concrete?
Free Lime
Portland + water = CSH + Ca(OH)2 (Free Lime)
Free Lime = higher permeability and susceptibility to chemical attack
CSH-Calcium Silicate Hydrate Water or Void Calcium Hydroxide
Coarse Aggregate
• More CSH (Calcium Silicate Hydrate) is formed. • Reacts with calcium hydroxide and alkali. • Hydrates are more gel-like. • Rate of heat liberation is a two-stage effect.
OPC + water = CSH + Ca(OH)2 + GGBFS = CSH = lowered permeability, less susceptible to attack

Mixture Proportioning
• Concrete is proportioned by the same methods as portland cement concrete. • Keep in mind, with slag cement:
Water demand is usually reduced Paste volume is increased
– Difference in Specific gravity - portland cement - 3.15 vs. 2.88 or 2.4-2.7
Coarse/fine aggregate will need adjustment Admixtures may need adjustment Set time may increase, especially in cooler weather
• Determine target values of slag or fly ash substitution to achieve desired effects.
Slag Dosage: 10 – 80% Fly Ash: 10 – 30 %

The “Opportunities” The Use of Mineral Components in Cement and Concrete can:
• Help minimize CO2 Emissions • Minimize use of raw materials • Reduce energy consumption • Make use of a recycled product – less waste and landfill • Make concrete lighter & more reflective (with slag) • Engineers can obtain specialized results with readily
available materials, (meet type II, type IV and type V requirements).
MAKE BETTER CONCRETE Improve strength, durability & overall sustainability!

Did You Know? “Adding One Gallon of Water Will” • Increase the slump about ONE INCH • Cut the compressive strength about 200 psi • Wasts the effect of ¼ sack of cement • Increase the shrinkage potential about 10% • Decrease the freeze thaw resistance about 20% • Increase cracking about 10% • Increase air content about 1% • Increase segregation • Increase wear damage from traffic • Increase dusting • Increase finishing time for contractors labor
Is one gallon of water worth all the expense?

Water/Cement Ratio • Water (lbs)/Cement (lbs) Water Total added water included “free”
mositure from the aggregates “Cement” Total cementitious indcluding any
fly ash, slag, and/or silica fume • Need approximately 25 lbs of water to
hydrate 100 lbs of cement • Higher the w/c ratio the weaker the
concrete.

Mixing Water
Almost any natural water that is drinkable with no pronounced taste or odor can be used for making concrete
Some waters that are not fit for drinking maybe suitable for concrete if tested by a laboratory

What Is An Admixture ?
• Snake Oil • Bug Juice • Colored Water • It’s Specified On A Project So I
Have To Use It • Performance, Quality & Cost • As necessary an ingredient as
cement itself!

Admixtures
Admixtures are those ingredients in concrete other than cement, water, and aggregates that are added to the mixture immediately before or during mixing to give the concrete special
properties or to cut costs.

Set Altering Chemical Admixtures
•Accelerators • Reduce set times while increasing early age strengths but reduced later age strengths • Chloride or Non-Chloride • Hardening Accelerators
•Retarders • Slows set time and produces lower early age strengths but greater later age strengths • Hydration controlling admixtures

How do AEA’s work?
• Reduce surface tension • Stabilizes millions of air bubbles formed
during mixing. • Semi-microscopic bubbles. • Mechanical, not chemical, action.

Water Reducers Used to reduce the quantity of mixing water required
to produce concrete of a certain slump
• Reduce water/ cementitious ratio • Increased strength • Replaces cement for equivalent strength. • Increased workability & flowability

• Polycarboxylate-based –
full range water-reducing admixtures
• Engineered molecules for the desired concrete performance
• Full range water reduction - may be used from 2 -18 oz/cwt depending on application

How Polycarboxylate-Based Admixtures Work…???
These products provide significantly improved cement dispersion
due to inherent dual mechanism of electrostatic & steric repulsion Polycarboxylate molecules work by attaching themselves to
cement particles and impart a negative charge that causes cement particles to repel from one another (electrostatic repulsion)
The long side chains on the molecules physically help to keep cement particles apart and totally surround the cement particles (steric hindrance)
This dual mechanism results in improved dispersion, mix lubrication and performance

SCC - We measure spread not slump
•Spread 18” - 26” •Produced with Super P and sometimes a VMA •Requires minimal to no vibration •Non-segregating •Aggregate Gradation is important •Increased cement content isn’t always necessary
