Gennady Nikiforovich Pshenichny: Construction Gypsum and Portland Cement. A University Textbook
This academic textbook provides a detailed technical examination of two fundamental building materials: construction gypsum and Portland cement. It presents the historical development and refinement of both binders, from their origins to modern applications.
A key focus is the fundamental difference in their hardening mechanisms. The text explains that gypsum hardens through the direct filling of intercrystalline voids with mixing water, whereas cement undergoes a complex chemical reaction with water. This process involves the staged formation, development, and decomposition of transient activated complexes within the interphase zone. The author argues that this distinction makes it invalid to generalize the setting schemas of the two products.
The book also documents the dynamics of various properties and phenomena that accompany the hardening of both gypsum and Portland cement, logically integrating them into developed hydration models.
This resource is intended for university students, postgraduates, researchers, and specialists involved in the design, production, and operation of building structures, buildings, and facilities.
