Auf Baustellen und in den Instandsetzungen werden Zement- und Trockenmörtelsäcke teilweise über längere Zeiträume gelagert. Auch im Zusammenhang mit Zementimporten und zunehmend filigran abgestimmten Betonrezepturen die bereits bei kleinen Änderungen der Ausgangsstoffe sensibel reagieren, nimmt die Relevanz der Zementlagerung zu. Aus diesem Grund wurde der Einfluss der Zementlagerung auf die Eigenschaften von Betonen in einer Versuchsreihe an der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) ermittelt.

For the longest time in its history, concrete was considered as a three component System consisting of aggregates, which are bound by the hardened cement paste consisting of hydrated cement. Traditionally, the only way of adjusting the consistency of concrete was using well adjusted aggregates and grading curves and adding excess water to the concrete, accepting that the latter in return reduces strength and durability. During the last three decades, however, concrete has developed further from a three component System towards an (at least) five component system, since the use of mineral additions and Chemical admixtures has become state of the art. Both components are able to enhance the workability, the compactability, and the density of the microstructure with effects on strength, ductility and durability, while cement can be saved in parallel. Due to reasonable use of admixtures and additions, concrete can be designed to match mechanically high performance specifications. Traditionally, cement paste was considered the weakest component in concrete. Flowever, in modern concrete a good paste composition can yield highest performance, passing the role of the mechanical bottleneck towards the aggregates.

T1 - Cement technology in sub-Saharan Africa-practical and scientific experiences N2 - Sub-Saharan Africa is populated by more than half a billion people, and rapid urbanization is creating challenges in the areas of housing, roads, railways, power supply, dams and water pipelines — aspects of infrastructure that are critical to the well being of the population. This situation indicates that cement and concrete will play a major role in the future construction technology in Africa, despite the fact that it does not have a long-lasting tradition over most of the continent. Although the continent is rich in natural resources for the production of mineral binder systems, many sub-Saharan African countries exhibit challenging boundary conditions, that have to be well understood in order to use cement and concrete technologies in a sustainable and reasonable way.

ED - Schmidt, Wolfram T1 - Effect of the storage of cement on early properties of cementitious systems N2 - As soon as cement is mixed with water, the hydration reaction starts to set of. The progression of the hydration process is governed by the amount and the availability of water and its possibility to access the unhydrated cement grain surfaces. For a total hydration cement theoretically requires water amounting approximately 0.38 of its own mass. Nevertheless, due to the cement’s highly hygroscopic nature, already the moisture in the ambient air can cause first hydration reactions to set in upon the cement grain surfaces. Such pre-hydration processes have an effect on the cement's properties. Dpending on the specific conditions during the storage the significance of the impact on certain properties can vary. If cement is consumed soon after production and is transported only short distances in a silo wagon to its final destination for immediate use without further stock transfer, the effects are rather negligible. However, if cement is delivered in bags, transported over long distances, shifted serval times and stored for longer time periods until it is finally consumend, these effects can be quite severe. Due to the actual logistical situation with comparably few cement plants, large delivery distances and partially less developed infrastructures, the latter scenario pictures the situation for the most cases in Africa quite well. In order to verify the relevance of the pre-hydation for practical application, a series of tests was conducted at the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). The influence of the cement storage on gresh and hardened concrete properties was investigated for different concrete and mortar types. The investigations show that the impact of the storage conditions is more pronounced for specialized concretes with high sophisticated optimized mixture compositions containing admixtures. Nevertheless, the effects also occur for ordinary concrete and should not be ignored.
