Effects of temperature on the strength development of cementitious materials

Abstract

A series of experiments has been performed using Aplite based cement slurries, Quartz based cement slurries and Liquid Stone delivered by Baker Hughes. The different cementitious materials have been compared regarding the compressive strength development at different temperatures. The various experiments show that at higher temperatures it could be beneficial to replace some of the cement with these materials. Measurements of the strength development of Ordinary Portland Cement at ambient temperature and 150 °C is also included in the thesis and used as a reference value.
