Original Abstract
The expansion effect of laboratory-prepared expansive additives for M-type expansive cement was investigated at the early stage of hydration by the multicell isoperibolic calorimeter and volumetric technique based on Archimedes principle. The relative volume changes and heat released during hydration are strongly affected by the content of lime in the expansive additive due to the influence of CaO on the kinetics and mechanism of formation of ettringite. The increasing content of lime favours the formation of monosulphate and its later transformation to ettringite generating expansion stress. The effect of expansive additive on the behaviour of mortar samples was measured as linear elongation of test blocks using Graf-Kaufman dilatometer. Lower or higher content of lime in expansion additive slightly decreases the 7th-day compressive and flexural strength of samples while this effect is negligible for expansive additive with nominal composition of ettringite.
