RT Journal Article T1 Hydration studies of calcium sulfoaluminate cements blended with fly ash A1 García-Maté, Marta A1 Gómez-de-la-Torre, María de los Ángeles A1 León-Reina, Laura A1 García-Aranda, Miguel Ángel A1 Santacruz-Cruz, María Isabel K1 Cemento AB The main objective of this work is to study the hydration and properties of calciumsulfoaluminate cement pastesblended with fly ash (FA) and the corresponding mortars at different hydration ages. Laboratory X-ray powderdiffraction, rheological studies, thermal analysis, porosimetry and compressive strength measurements wereperformed. The analysis of the diffraction data by Rietveld method allowed quantifying crystalline phases andoverall amorphous contents. The studied parameters were: i) FA content, 0, 15 and 30 wt.%; and ii) water addition,water-to-CSA mass ratio (w/CSA = 0.50 and 0.65), and water-to-binder mass ratio (w/b = 0.50). Finally,compressive strengths after 6 months of 0 and 15 wt.% FA [w/CSA = 0.50] mortars were similar: 73 ± 2 and72 ± 3 MPa, respectively. This is justified by the filler effect of the FA as no strong evidences of reactivity of FAwith CSA were observed. These results support the partial substitution of CSA cements with FA with the economicand environmental benefits PB Elsevier YR 2013 FD 2013 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10630/10868 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10630/10868 LA eng NO Cement and Concrete Research 54, pp. 12 – 20, 2013 NO This work has been supported by Spanish MINECO through MAT2010-16213 research grant, which is co-funded by FEDER.
