English

Subject field(s)
  • Cement Industry
  • Types of Concrete
  • Binders and Mastics (Constr.)
  • Waste Management
CONT

The principal hydraulic cements are :... slag cement, which consists essentially of finely divided, water-quenched, granulated blast-furnace slag and hydrated lime, used with portland cement in concrete or with additional hydrated lime in masonry mortars...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cimenterie
  • Sortes de béton
  • Liants et mastics (Construction)
  • Gestion des déchets
DEF

Liant obtenu en broyant ensemble du clinker à ciment portland et du laitier granulé de hauts fourneaux.

CONT

Ciments de laitier. Même fabrication que les ciments métallurgiques. On distingue parmi les ciments de laitier : Ciment de laitier au clinker [...]. Ciment de laitier à la chaux [...]

CONT

Dans le cadre de l'application à l'immobilisation des déchets radioactifs, on appelle béton la catégorie des liants hydrauliques composés de silicates et d'aluminates de calcium. Le plus couramment utilisé de ces composés est le ciment de Portland, retenu à cause de ses propriétés mécaniques. Mais de plus en plus, la recherche s'oriente vers l'utilisation de ciments à prise plus lente (ciments des laitiers, clinkers, ciments pouzzolaniques) dont la prise entraîne une moindre exothermie ce qui limite les risques de fissuration.

Key term(s)

Record 4 2012-05-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Concrete Construction
  • Cement Industry
DEF

Cement consisting of a mixture of Portland cement and of blast furnace slag in specified proportions. It can be produced by mixing the Portland cement clinker with granulated blast furnace slag before grinding, or by blending the ground cement with finely granulated slag.

OBS

Blended cements may contain blast furnace slag or be made with a pozzolan. Hence the term "pozzolan blast furnace cement" is surprising since it suggests a combination of two distinct types of blended cements. Furthermore, it would appear from a comparison of the English and French definitions, that we are speaking of "Portland blast-furnace cement".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Bétonnage
  • Cimenterie
DEF

Ciment ternaire résultant de la mouture d'un mélange convenablement dosé et homogénéisé de clinker Portland, de laitier et de cendres volantes de houille. Symbole: CPMF.

Record 5 2011-05-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Concrete Construction
DEF

A hydraulic cement made by intimately intergrinding a mixture of granulated blast-furnace slag, calcium sulfate, and a small amount of lime, cement, or cement clinker; so named because the equivalent content of sulfate exceeds that for portland blast-furnace slag cement.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Bétonnage
DEF

Ciment résultant de la mouture d'un mélange de laitier granulé de haut fourneau ou de sulfate de calcium et d'un catalyseur qui peut être de la chaux, du clinker ou du ciment.
