12 sty 2024 · This study investigated the effect of these three important variables on the pH reading for a pulverized cement mortar (cement to sand ratio of 1:3, and water-to-cement ratio of 0.55) with maximum grain size of 600 µm.
3 paź 2020 · Cement-based materials (CBMs), such as paste, mortar and concrete, are highly alkaline with an initial high pH of approximately 12.0 to 13.8. CBMs have a high pH due to the existing oxide mineral portlandite and alkali metal contents in Portland cement.
The pH value of water shall not be less than the following concentrations represent the maximum permissible values (of deleterious materials in water): a) Limits of acidity: To neutralize 100ml sample of water, using phenolphthalein as an indicator, it should not require more than 5ml of 0.02 normal NaOH. The details of test shall be as given ...
29 sie 2021 · Cement mortar specimens with smaller particle sizes resulted in a higher pH value, consistent with the studies on cement paste and concrete. Using a particle size of less than 600 µm (fine particle size) showed consistent pH measurement with a mean of 12.37–12.42 for cement mortar.
6 dni temu · In concrete, pH is crucial in determining the material’s chemical stability and its interaction with environmental factors. The pH of Fresh Concrete. Freshly mixed concrete typically has a high pH of 12.5 to 13.5. This is due to calcium hydroxide, a byproduct of the hydration process that occurs when water reacts with cement. As we will ...
22 lis 2019 · The pH level of water in concrete plays a major role in its strength and durability. Low and high pH both creates problem in concrete in terms of spalling and corrosion. In this study the...
8 maj 2024 · Water with a high pH resulted in concrete with an appreciable strength value while acidic water resulted in very low strength values. The usage of hard water for mixing concrete resulted in a strength value lower than with soft water.
