Article of the Research Group SICon with participation of researchers from RECICLOS and BAM is published in the “Journal of Building Engineering (JOBE)”.
The title reads: “Influence of high-charge and low-charge PCE-based superplasticizers on Portland cement pastes containing particle-size designed recycled mineral admixtures” and is part of the volume 32 of the “Journal of Building Engineering (JOBE)” 2020.
The authors of the article are: José Maria Franco de Carvalho, Wolfram Schmidt, Hans-Carsten Kühne, Ricardo André Fiorotti Peixoto. The group is composed of researchers from the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM- Germany) and the Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP).
This work consists of an investigation of the influence of low-charge and high-charge PCE-based superplasticizers on the properties of Portland cement pastes containing eight different particle size-designed engineered recycled mineral admixtures (ERMAs) obtained from basic oxygen furnace slag, iron ore tailings, quartz tailings, and quartzite tailings. The main objectives were to evaluate the flow properties and hydration kinetics. The full summary and other information about the article can be found at the link below:
