The influence of alkali-free and alkaline shotcrete accelerators within cement systems - I. Characterization of the setting behavior
The influence of alkali-free and alkaline accelerators on the setting behavior of cementitious mixtures is investigated. The aluminium sulfate present in the alkali-free accelerators promotes the crystallization of ettringite prisms (2-7 my m) between the clinkers, thus connecting them in a compact mass and accelerating the setting. The very rapid setting promoted by the addition of the alkali KAl(OH)4-rich admixture is mainly the result of the precipitation of CH plates and amorphous KCASSH hydrates. In this case, the crystallization of elongated ettringite rods contributes to a smaller extent to the setting.
