Hydrated Phases in Blended Cement Systems and Synthetic Saltstone Grouts

June 10, 2013
Author(s)
Kenneth A. Snyder, Paul E. Stutzman
A blended binder system (10 % portland cement, 45 % fly ash, and 45 % slag) is characterized as part of a broader study of its long-term effectiveness in stabilizing treated salt waste at the Savannah River Site. The binder system is reproduced in the

Assessment of the glassy phase reactivity in fly ashes used for geopolymer cements

June 1, 2013
Author(s)
Paul E. Stutzman, Katherine Aughenbaugh, Maria Juenger
Geopolymer cements have not found widespread use as a portland cement replacement, in part due to the difficulty in proportioning mixtures in a reliable manner. Unlike portland cements, which are mixed with water, geopolymer cements contain caustic

Development of a Reference Material for the Calibration of Cement Paste Rheometers

April 22, 2013
Author(s)
Chiara F. Ferraris, Paul E. Stutzman, Zhuguo Li, Min-Hong Zhang
Rheometers are usually calibrated using a standard reference oil. On the other hand the calibration of rheometer for paste or concrete cannot be calibrated using an oil as it is a Newtonian fluid, while the rheometers are designed to measure non-Newtonian

Measurement Science Needs for the Expanded Use of Green Concrete: Workshop Summary Report

February 6, 2013
Author(s)
Kenneth A. Snyder, Dale P. Bentz, Jeffrey W. Bullard, Chiara F. Ferraris, Nicos Martys, Paul E. Stutzman
In July 2012, NIST conducted the Green Concrete Workshop to bring together stakeholders from the concrete construction industry and identify critical needs for the expanded use of industrial by- product materials, such as fly ash and slag, in concrete

An Argument for Virtual Testing in the Cement Plant

September 10, 2012
Author(s)
Pichet Sahachaiyunta, Kittisak Pongpaisanseree, Jeffrey W. Bullard, Paul E. Stutzman, Edward Garboczi, Wilasa Vichit-Vadakan
The cement industry is moving toward customized commodity products, requiring plants that were built to consistently produce thousands of tons of one product each day to now be versatile enough to fine-tune multiple products that meet both industry

Characterization of Surface Accumulation and Release of Nanosilica During Irradiation of Polymer Nanocomposites with Ultraviolet Light

August 12, 2012
Author(s)
Tinh Nguyen, Bastien T. Pellegrin, Coralie Bernard, Savelas A. Rabb, Paul E. Stutzman, Justin M. Gorham, Xiaohong Gu, Lee L. Yu, Joannie W. Chin
Nanofillers are increasingly used for enhancing multiple properties of polymeric materials in many applications. However, polymers are susceptible to photodegradation by solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation Therefore, nanofillers in a polymer nanocomposite

Certification of SRM 2492: Bingham Paste Mixture for Rheological Measurements

June 7, 2012
Author(s)
Chiara F. Ferraris, Paul E. Stutzman, William F. Guthrie
Rheological measurements are often performed using a rotational rheometer. In this type of rheometer, the tested fluid is sheared between two surfaces, one of which is rotating [1]. Usually, the angular velocity is imposed and the response of the material

Influence of solvent washing on interlayer structure of alkylammonium montmorillonites

April 26, 2012
Author(s)
Wayne L. Elban, John A. Howarter, Mickey C. Richardson, Paul E. Stutzman, Aaron M. Forster, Adam J. Nolte, Gale A. Holmes
Powdered samples of montmorillonite were functionalized with ammonium surfactants of various chain lengths and subjected to two different constant volume washing procedures: water only or sequential ethanol-water. The organo-functionalized montmorillonite

Analysis of Early-Age Bridge Deck Cracking in Nevada and Wyoming

January 17, 2012
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, Paul E. Stutzman, Aaron R. Sakulich, William J. Weiss
In late 2009, the Echo Wash and Valley of Fire bridge decks were constructed in the Lake Mead National Recreation area in Nevada. Within six months, in early 2010, both decks exhibited considerable transverse cracking, with some cracks extending through
