Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In 1975, a separately ground blast furnace slag was developed in Hamilton, Ontario, and a research program was begun in 1977 to study the effects of this slag on sulfate resistance of concrete. Concrete cylinders were cast from 8 batches using Portland cement types GU, MS, HS, and mixtures of GU plus slag at w/cm of 0.45 or 0.50. In this study, cylinders were removed from the sulfate solutions and thin sections were prepared for SEM/EDS analysis. Microstructural details were investigated, and different phases were determined. Qualitative maps were also prepared using Micro-XRF. Ettringite, thaumasite, and gypsum as well as layers of brucite and/or calcium carbonate were found to have formed in the samples. A 65% slag substitution was the most effective in improving the performance of concrete exposed to sodium sulfate. However, the damage caused by magnesium sulfate was found to be more severe than by the sodium sulfate.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
