Dataset for "X-ray near-field ptychographic nanoimaging of cement pastes" paper
<p>Dataset for paper (doi:) with the abstract: "The hydration processes of Portland cements (PC) and blends are complicated as there are many components with great heterogeneity at different length scales. Thus, 3D nanoimaging techniques with high spatial resolution and scanning large fields of view are needed. Here, synchrotron X-ray near-field ptychographic tomography is used to investigate four pastes within 0.2 mm thick capillaries: PC with CaCl2, PC hydration enhanced by C-S-H nucleation seeding, PC partly substituted with metakaolin, and PC partly substituted with metakaolin and limestone. Data analysis emphasis has been placed on the characterisation of amorphous components: (i) C-S-H and C-A-S-H gels; (ii) iron aluminium siliceous hydrogarnets; (iii) metakaolin; and (iv) aluminium carboaluminate, AFm-like. Synchrotron ptychotomography yields electron density and absorption coefficient tomograms and the resulting bivariate plots are instrumental for characterising these amorphous components. The attained spatial resolution, ~220 nm, with very good contrast allowed us to determine nanofeatures including mass densities and spatial distributions of amorphous components. For instance, the C-S-H gel mass density differences between the two type of accelerated pastes are detailed."</p>
Ptychographic X-ray computed tomography data for three Portland cement pastes
<p>Mortars and concretes are ubiquitous materials with very complex hierarchical microstructures. To fully understand their main properties and to decrease their CO<sub>2</sub> footprints, a sound description of their (spatially-resolved) mineralogy is compulsory. Developing this knowledge is very challenging as about half of the volume of hydrated cement is a nanocrystalline component, calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H gel). Furthermore, other poorly crystalline phases (e.g. iron-siliceous hydrogarnet or silica oxide) may coexist which are even more difficult to characterise. Traditional spatially-resolved techniques like electron microscopies involve complex sample preparation steps that often lead to artefacts (e.g. dehydration and microstructural changes). Here, we have used synchrotron ptychographic tomography for obtaining spatially-resolved information on three unaltered representative samples: neat Portland paste, Portland-calcite and Portland-fly ash blend pastes with spatial resolution below 100 nm in samples of up to 5×10<sup>4</sup> mm<sup>3</sup> of volume. For the neat Portland paste, the ptychotomographic study gave densities of 2.11 and 2.52 gcm<sup>-3</sup> and contents of 41.1 and 6.4 vol% for nanocrystalline C-S-H gel and poorly crystalline iron-siliceous hydrogarnet, respectively. Furthermore, the spatially-resolved volumetric mass density information has allowed to characterise inner product and outer product C-S-H gels. The average density of inner product C-S-H is smaller than that of outer product and its variability larger. Full characterisation of the pastes, including segmentation of the different components, is reported and the contents are compared with the results obtained by thermodynamical modelling.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Ptychographic X-ray computed tomography provides 3D electron mass density and attenuation coefficient distributions of unaltered cement pastes with an isotropic resolution below 100 nm. This imaging technique allows quantitatively distinguishing between different components with very similar absorption contrast.</p> <p>Samples were measured at the cSAXS beamline: i) a neat Portland Cement (PC); ii) a PC-CC blend: 80 wt% of PC and 20 wt% of CaCO<sub>3</sub>, and iii) a PC-FA blend: 70 wt% of PC and 30 wt% of fly ash. The main aim of this study is to have a better insight of the microstructure of the amorphous/nanocrystalline gels with submicrometer spatial resolution. It is worth noting that it is possible to determine the gel mass density and water content within the attained 3D resolution (about 100 nm).</p> <p>Here, we focused on the spatial distribution of the different components and in the variation of the electron density values which are very related to the mass density values. Special attention is paid to the density values of the amorphous (or nanocrystalline) components. The electron and mass density values of the C-S-H gel for three pastes are thoroughly analyzed. The density values range from 2.05-2.10 g·cm<sup>-3</sup> for high density C-S-H gel for neat PC and PC-CC pastes to 1.80 g<sup>.</sup>cm<sup>-3</sup> for low density C-S-H gel in PC-FA paste. The density value of poorly crystalline iron-siliceous hydrogarnet component, r=2.52 g·cm<sup>-3</sup>, has also been determined.</p> <p>A summary of our ongoing research focused on the analyses of cement pastes by synchrotron PXCT is reported and discussed.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>PC sample:</strong></p> <p>tomo_beta_S02536_to_S03341_Hann_freqscl_0.35_0xxx</p> <p>tomo_delta_S02536_to_S03341_Hann_freqscl_1.00_0xxx</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>PC-CC sample:</strong></p> <p>tomo_beta_S04692_to_S06001_Hann_freqscl_0.35_0xxx</p> <p>tomo_delta_S04692_to_S06001_Hann_freqscl_1.00_0xxx</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>PC-FA sample:</strong></p> <p>tomo_beta_S03351_to_S04661_Hann_freqscl_0.35_0xxx</p> <p>tomo_delta_S03351_to_S04661_Hann_freqscl_1.00_0xxx</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Ultrasonic Pulse Transmission Tests: Datasets - Test Series 4, Cement Paste at Early Stages
<p>The test series was created to receive information about the impact of the behaviour of the piezoelectric shear wave sensor on the measurement results of ultrasonic transmission tests performed on cement pastes at early stages. The approach for the test series was to vary the parameters water-cement-ratio and pulse-width. This results in a two-dimensional test parameter grid (water-cement-ratio versus pulse-width). Tests were performed for each grid point in order to receive information needed to optimize the pulse width for the shear wave sensors, but also a possible dependency between material behaviour and pulse-width. The materials tested were blends from ordinary Portland cement and tap water. The test methods used were ultrasonic pulse transmission method with combined compression- and shear wave measurements, gravimetric density tests (fresh paste density, solid specimen density) and hydration temperature tests. All test data and metadata are summarized into datasets using GNU Octave's open binary file format.</p>

<p>The test series was created to receive information about the material behaviour of cement pastes at early stages. The approach for this test series was to vary the parameters water-cement-ratio and distance-between-actuator-and-sensor. This results in a two-dimensional test parameter grid (water-cement-ratio versus distance-between-actuator-and-sensor). For each point of the parameter grid, tests were performed several times to check the stability of the testing method. The materials tested were blends from ordinary Portland cement and tap water.

Dataset for "Sorption, anomalous water transport and dynamic porosity in cement paste: A spatially localised 1H NMR relaxation study and a proposed mechanism"
<p>This record is the dataset for Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in the journal article "Sorption, anomalous water transport and dynamic porosity in cement paste: A spatially localised 1H NMR relaxation study and a proposed mechanism" published in Cement and Concrete Research, Volume 133, July 2020, 106045, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cemconres.2020.106045.</p> <p>Abstract: The link between anomalous water sorption and dynamic porosity in cement pastes is explored using spatially resolved GARField1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation analysis. A model is developed in which the effective capillary diffusion coefficient is dependent on the instantaneous pore size distribution. This and earlier data show changes in pore size distribution resultant from changes in saturation that do not occur instantaneously with changes in degree of saturation. Therefore, it is assumed that the pore size distribution is always relaxing exponentially towards a (saturation dependent) equilibrium. It follows that the diffusivity is sample history (i.e. time) dependent as well as saturation dependent. This is sufficient to explain anomalies in rapid capillary water sorption. The same concepts are applied to slow drying. In this case, porosity changes occur on a timescale much shorter than drying so the system is always in dynamic equilibrium and anomalies are therefore not seen.</p>
