Effect of limestone in General Purpose cement on autogenous shrinkage of high strength GGBFS concrete and pastes
Highlights Binary system of General Purpose cement and GGBFS acted as a ternary system in concrete. Paste and concrete containing GGBFS exhibited long-term autogenous shrinkage up to 100 days. Pore refinement and hydration continued till 90 days in GGBFS - composite cement paste.
Abstract This work investigates the autogenous shrinkage of pastes and concretes prepared using General Purpose cement and GGBFS (40% and 60%) up to 100 days. To determine the underlying factors influencing autogenous shrinkage, hydration progression and evolution of microstructure were investigated. Results showed that autogenous shrinkage of GGBFS blends continuously increased after 28 days (until 100 days) whereas the control samples reached a plateau after about 28 days. Late reaction between limestone from the General Purpose cement and alumina from GGBFS progressed untill 90 days forming a high amount of monocarboaluminates. General Purpose cement blends with high GGBFS content can behave as ternary blends and not as binary blends due to the small amount of limestone usually added to General Purpose cements. These long term reactions lead to a significant refinement of the pore structure which is responsible of the late autogenous shrinkage in GGBFS blends.
