Influence of cement constitution and temperature on chloride binding in cement paste

This paper describes effects of cement constitution and temperature on chlo ride binding in cement paste, which is an important subject in relation to lifetime modelling of reinforced concrete structures. The influence of ceme nt constitution on chloride binding is investigated by substituting cement with pure cement clinker: Both theoretical considerations and experimental data for chloride binding in cement pastes ave presented. A physicochemical based model to describe the influence of temperature on physical binding o f chloride is presented Solid-state Al-27 and Si-29 magic-angle spinning nu clear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used for quantification of t he anhydrous and hydrated aluminate and silicate phases in the chloride-exp osed cement pastes. The Al-27 isotropic chemical shift and nuclear quadrupo le coupling is reported for a synthetic sample of Friedel's salt, Ca2Al(OH) (6)Cl.2H2O.
