Abstract

In modern construction, mineral additives are considered as important concrete components, which improve many technical parameters. Being an inert additive, finely dispersed limestone behaves as a reactive one in a system with super- and hyper-plasticizers, especially in a hardening cement, with the formation of a gas phase. The outgassing is influenced by the system rheology and can be significantly increased with deceasing viscosity, for example, when working with self-leveling mixtures. In this case, the micro-filling function of dispersed additives may be not sufficiently implemented, and the optimum content has not a positive effect on the structure and properties of concrete. It is therefore advisable to evaluate the compatibility of mineral and chemical additives, which has been little studied to date.
