Article Effects of Dry Particle Coating With Nano-and Microparticles on Early Compressive Strength of Portland Cement Pastes(Tulpar Academic Publishing, 2021-12-16) Yorulmaz, Hediye; Özuzun, Sümeyye; Uzal, Burak; İLkentapar, Serhan; Durak, Uğur; Karahan, Okan; Atis, C. D.It is known that nano-and microparticles have been very popular in recent years since their advantages. However, due to the very small size of such materials, they have very high tendency to agglomeration particularly for nanoparticles. Therefore, it is critical that they are properly distributed in the system to which they are added. This paper investigated the effects of dry particle coating with nano-and microparticles to solve the agglomeration problem. For a clear evaluation, paste samples were preferred to detemine the compressive strength. Nano-SiO<inf>2</inf> and nano-CaCO<inf>3</inf>, microCaCO<inf>3</inf> and micro-SiO<inf>2</inf>, also known as silica fume, were selected as particulate additives. It was studied by the addition of various percentages (0.3, 0.7, 1, 2, 3 and 5%) of nano-and microparticles in cementitious systems, replacing cement by weight with and without dry particle coating. Dry particle coating was made by using a highspeed paddle mixer. Portland cement and additive particles were mixed at 1500 rpm for 30 seconds in high-speed powder mixer designed for this purpose. The 3-day compressive strength of the cement-based samples to which particles were added at the specified rates was determined and the effect of the dry particle coating on the early strength was investigated. According to the results, it was observed that the production of paste with the dry particle coating technique gave higher compressive strength compared to the production of paste directly in early period. Especially with dry particle coating, compressive strength increased more than 100% in paste samples containing 0.3% nano-SiO<inf>2</inf> compared to direct addition without coating. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Determining Datum Temperature and Apparent Activation Energy: An Approach for Mineral Admixtures Incorporated Cementitious Systems(Tulpar Academic Publishing, 2024-12-10) Atasever, Muhammet; Tokyay, MustafaThe maturity method is used to predict the strength of concrete by monitoring its temperature history. Accuracy of maturity method relies on the dependable determination of the datum temperature and the apparent activation energy. The current study introduces a new approach, complementing those in ASTM C1074-11, for determining the datum temperature and apparent activation energy. The experimental study involved using two different mineral additives to portland cement at 6%, 20%, and 35% replacement amounts. The mortars were then cured at temperatures of 5, 20, and 40 °C, and their strengths were determined. Subsequently, the datum temperatures and apparent activation energies for these mixtures were calculated using both the proposed approach and the alternatives from ASTM C1074-11. Strength estimations were conducted in conjunction with commonly used maturity functions. The results indicate that the proposed approach determines the datum temperature and apparent activation energy reliably for mineral admixture-incorporated mortars. Furthermore, the predicted strengths, derived from the datum temperature and apparent activation energy calculated through the proposed approach, show a closer alignment with the experimental results when applying the Nurse-Saul and Hansen-Pedersen equations, as opposed to the Rastrup and Weaver-Sadgrove models. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
