Portland cement hydration is an exothermic process. The heat evolved during the hydration process is especially important in mass concrete, and hot and cold weather concreting. Heat of hydration is affected by several factors like chemical composition of cement, fineness of cement and ambient temperature. The major aim of this thesis is to investigate the effect of cement composition and fineness, amount and composition of the fine portion (<45 µm) of natural pozzolan-incorporated cement on hydration heat. For this purpose, a portland cement and pozzolan-incorporated blended cements containing different amounts of natural pozzolan (trass) were used. The heat of hydration was measured using isothermal calorimetry. The values of heat of hydration for mixtures with different finenesses containing different amounts of added pozzolan were determined. The results obtained were used to find a correlation between the fineness, composition of cement and heat of hydration. According to this study, pozzolan incorporation in small amounts accelerates hydration. A similar effect was obtained for higher pozzolan amounts. Finer cements react faster and result in higher amounts of early heat evolved compared to coarser cements. In addition, it was found that the sum of the heat of hydration values of fine and coarse portion of cements was less than the total heat of hydration of blended cements. Moreover, a satisfactory correlation could not be established between results of isothermal calorimetry, and adiabatic calorimetry, setting time, and strength

Effect of combining different cement clinkers and slag with controlled finenesses on mortar strength and heat of hydration Çelikkol Koçak, Tümay; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Portland cement production is an energy consuming activity. Increasing efficiency in concrete production is one of the ways of reducing energy consumption. To improve the efficiency of the properties of both materials and concrete system, reduction of undesired effects (loss of strength, decrease in lifetime, etc.) is important. The main purpose of this study is to combine different Portland cement clinkers and blast furnace slag with different fineness to obtain a cement with a controlled grading, in order...
Early heat evolution of different – sized portland cements incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag Çetin, Can; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Tokyay, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Heat of hydration and rate of heat evolution are two important characteristics of portland cement hydration, significant for various concrete applications such as mass, hot-weather, and cold-weather concreting. The heat of hydration and rate of heat liberation of cement pastes, and concrete made with it, depend heavily on the chemical composition, fineness, and mineral admixture content of the cement used. This thesis investigates the influence of compound composition and GGBFS incorporation in different-si...
Effect of particle size on heat of hydration of pozzolan incorporated cements / Ardoğa, Mehmet Kemal; Tokyay, Mustafa; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) Hydration reactions, the chemical reactions between cement and water are exothermic. The determination of the heat of hydration and rate of heat evolution of cement are extremely important to understand the hydration mechanism. In this study, clinker and gypsum rock were ground after adding natural pozzolan (trass) with various proportions until a specific fineness value and different cements were obtained. These cements were divided into particle size groups with a sonic sifter and the heat of hydration an...
Utilization of GGBFS blended cement pastes in well cementing Alp, Barış; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Akın, Serhat; Department of Cement Engineering (2012) In well cementing, the cement slurry is exposed to the conditions far different than those of ordinary Portland cement (PC) used in construction. After placement, hardened cement paste should preserve integrity and provide zonal isolation through the life of the well. American Petroleum Institute (API) Class G cement is the most common cement type used in various well conditions. Class G cement has a high degree of sulfate resistance which makes it more stable than PC when subjected to the compulsive well c...
The Effect of nanosilica on the properties of pumice incorporated blended cement Dündar, Burak; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Şahmaran, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) Because of the high energy requirement and high CO2 amount as a waste of burned CaCO3 present in raw material, Portland Cement production is also responsible from the CO2 emission among other responsible industries. In order to reduce such an energy consumption, use of portland cement clinker is aimed to be reduced in construction industry. For this aim, use of materials called pozzolan has become widespread. Through the use of pozzolans, the amount of Portland Cement Clinker in structural concrete can be r...
