Abstract: | The hydration characteristics and expansion impetus of three kinds of cement paste under free-and confined-curing conditions
were investigated, which were respectively mixed with three different kinds of expansive agent at low W/B ratio. The results
show that the hydration products of pure cement paste and paste mixed with expansive agent are same, but the amount of hydration
products, un-hydrated C3S and C2S are obviously different at the same hydration age. At 3 d age, the amount of CH in pure cement paste is less than that of
paste mixed with expansive agent, but it is reverse when at 28 d age. The amount of AFt at 3d and 28d age in pure cement paste
is less than those of paste mixed with expansive agent. Regardless of under free- or confined-curing condition, the amount
of ettringite produced varies little since 3d age. The joint effect of the tumefaction of gel-ettringite due to water absorption
and the expansive pressure on the pore caused by the crystalloid ettringite is the cause of the volume expansion of cement
paste, and the former effect is much greater than the latter.
