Abstract |
In this study, the autogenous healing properties in initial cracking of blast furnace slag cement paste with 5 % Na2SO4 as an activator for blast furnace slag were investigated. The major autogenous healing products in the cracks were C-S-H, calcite and the addition of Na2SO4 formed 3.7 times more autogenous healing products than no addition. The autogenous healing enhancement effect by Na2SO4 increases the amount of C-S-H generated by accelerating the hydration reaction of un reacted blast furnace slag and cement particles at the crack surfaces. It is considered that Ca(OH)2 formed simultaneously with C-S-H reacted with CO32-(HCO3-) ion in the solution in the crack and CO2 in the air and converted to calcite. Addition of Na2SO4 increased the concentration of Na+ and SO22- ions in solution in crack and precipitated with alkali carbonate and alkali sulfate during water evaporation. In the morphology of autogenous healing products, calcite had a small grain shape, C-S-H had a network shape, alkali carbonate had a large crystal form, alkali sulphate had an elongated plate shape, and Na2SO4 added crystals had grown to form larger without it.
