Summary
This course puts a special emphasis on the relationships between the different Portland type cements formulation and the roles of the components (major constituent phases and admixtures) on cement properties (setting speed, mechanical properties, durability). The cements chemistry and microstructural evolution throughout the hydration process is also detailed with the purpose to provide the main tools for cements understanding to our students.
Educational goals
This course aims to train students in the formulation and characterisation of the main hydraulic binders used in the cement industry in a context of sustainability. At the end of the course they will be able to understand the chemistry of hydraulic binders and to choose their formulation for a given property or targeted application.
