โฆ Synopsis
The early strength development of ordinary Portland cement (OPC)/calcium aluminate cement (CAC) pastes (92.5/7.5, 80/20, and 20/80) was studied. Conduction calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy methods were used to monitor the heat evolution and microstructural changes of these pastes. It is apparent that ettringite formation contributes to the early "set strength" in the 80/20 paste. The OPC hydration seems to be delayed by the presence of CAC.

Although the use of slag has many benefits, its low hydration at early stages causes the strength to be low. Hence, the uses of slag are restricted, even before it needs to be activated. In this investigation, a chemical method was used to activate the ordinary Portland cement-slag mortars (OSM). 37
The formation of hydrates of calcium aluminates in cement pastes in the presence of different dosages of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) powder was evaluated. The content of AFt, AFm, C 4 AH 13 and CAH 10 in cement pastes was determined using XRD. The results showed that SBR powder facilitates the fo
