Abstract: In this paper, the polymer modified Portland cement paste with different EVA emulsion content was prepared. The hydration properties and pore structure of the modified Portland cement paste under the same water cement ratio and different curing systems (standard curing and steam curing) were compared. The effects of EVA emulsion on the hydration products, hydration characteristics, pore structure and compressive strength of the cement under different curing conditions were evaluated by X ray diffraction analysis, hydration heat analysis, mercury intrusion analysis, nitrogen adsorption test and cube compressive strength test. The results show that compared with the standard curing, EVA emulsion does not change the hydration products of cement under the steam curing. When the amount of EVA emulsion is higher, it decreases the degree of cement hydration, reduces the porosity of samples, increases the pore size of samples, and the steam curing decreases the negative effect of EVA emulsion on the strength of the cement paste.

Key words: EVA emulsion, steam curing, mercury intrusion analysis, hydration behavior, pore structure
