Abstract

Limestone powder (LS) with large particle sizes is widely used, but its effect on water migration behavior remains unclear. This study investigates the influence of LS and viscosity-enhancing admixtures (VEAs) on the water migration behavior and water distribution in fresh cement paste using ¹H low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR). Results indicate that LS increases the size of water migration channels, accelerates the water migration rate, and raises the bleeding ratio, while VEAs substantially mitigate the effects of LS. Compared to polyacrylamide, cellulose ether significantly slows down the water migration rate before 40 min, thereby reducing the bleeding ratio. Additionally, relaxation times were found to decrease during bleeding and can reflect the sedimentation process. It is confirmed that the pore structure of fresh paste exhibits fractal characteristics, with the fractal dimension closely correlating with water migration rates. The underlying mechanisms and their implications on material behavior are thoroughly analyzed and discussed.
