CIMSA Cement Production and Trading Corporation
May 1997 to Present Time
As acknowledgment of my research and development project proposal I was selected for supervising of High Performance Cement Based Materials Project been developed by CIMSA Cement Production and Trading Corporation.
The main directions of my project are:
Creation of new types of high performance
cements
Development of ready mix concrete
technology
The main areas of my activities are the following:
Development of eco- cement technology for
industrial by-products and waste utilisation
Development of new products based
on high performance cement technology, such as colour
cements and dry mixes, alkali - aggregate reaction free
cement, super fine cements and grouts, super air
entraining and gas generating cements, super rapid
hardening cements, polymer modified cements
Development of high performance
ready-mixed concrete
Investigation of durability of
high performance cement based materials
Providing the industry with
software necessary for performance prediction, production
of new materials and applying of new processes.
Providing the advertising
activities including conferences, meetings, publications,
video- and Internet opportunities
To achieve the project targets I supervised the following research:
Computer based examination and
optimisation of concrete mixture design
Investigation of
plasticizing/superplasticizing admixtures and silica fume
effect on rheology of cement paste, slump and strength
behaviour of concrete
Laboratory production and tests
of high performance cement
Optimisation of sulfate resistant
high performance cement composition
Field tests of high performance
cement resistance to chemical attack for application in
chemical industry
Semi- industrial trials of high
performance cement technology
The main results achieved were the following:
Optimisation
concrete mixture proportioning and application of
plasticizing/superplasticizing admixtures and silica fume
allowed to improve performance of ready mix concrete, as
well as to save around 10% of cement
Laboratory tests and optimisation
of high performance cement composition provided
conditions for semi- and full scale industrial trials of
high performance cement technology
TUBITAK (Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey) - NATO Post-Doctor Fellow
Middle East Technical University
September 1996 to May 1997
TUBITAK - NATO fellowship was given to me for research and development of high performance cement based materials in Middle East Technical University. It was not only a financial support of my investigation program, but the acknowledgment of the actuality of my researches as well.
The main objective of the investigation program were the following:
Development of high performance cement
technology
High volume mineral admixtures
cement
High- strength natural light
weight aggregate mortars and concrete
Strength properties of high
performance cement
Thermal and acid resistance of
high performance cement systems
Mixture proportioning for gypsum
plasters
To achieve the research targets I supervised and performed the following experimental works:
Investigation of mixture proportioning effect of high-
strength natural light weight aggregate mortars and
concrete
Research of workability
development, plastic shrinkage and strength behaviour of
high- strength natural light weight aggregate mortars and
concrete
Computer modelling of high-
strength natural light weight aggregate mortars and
concrete
Optimisation of high performance
cement composition for high thermal (up to 700 0C)
and acid resistance (30%- HCl)
Selection of admixtures and
composition optimisation for normal and fine gypsum
plasters
Investigation of strength
behaviour of normal and fine gypsum plasters
The main results achieved were the following:
High content of fly ash or slag (up to
65%) in high volume mineral admixtures cement
High compressive strength (up to
55 MPa) of high natural light weight aggregate concrete
High thermal (up to 700 0C)
and acid resistance (no destruction at 30%- HCl solution
exposure during 9 weeks) of high performance cement
High strength level (up to 10
MPa) and excellent workability of normal and fine gypsum
plasters
6 articles based on research
results were submitted for publication and presentation
