Effect of Aluminum Insertion Material on the Properties of AAC

Article Preview

Abstract:

Study on the compressive strength, shrinkage and effect of aluminum insertion materials on the hydration products of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC). The types and properties of hydration products are studied by X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Scanning Electron Microscope analysis (SEM) and so on. The results showed that the strength and the shrinkage resistance capability of the product could be improved effectively. Al3+successfully doped into C-S-H gel and tobermorite crystals, then replaced si4+of tobermorite and formed the system of C-A-S-H. Tobermorite in aluminum insertion aerated concrete is smaller and more compact. All hydration products interlace to form a whole, then the structure turns denser. Low porosity, high crystal gel volume ratio and high hydration degree are the key of the high strength aluminum insertion aerated concrete. Aluminum insertion materials improve the performance of the products.
