Results of thermogravimetric tests on hardened cement pastes containing fly ash are reported. Ashes derived from subbituminous and lignite coal were used at replacement levels of 30~c and 50~ by weight. Thermal analysis was performed on samples which were water cured for various ages from 3 days to

β¦ Synopsis
This paper considers the sulfate corrosion of Portland cement-pure and blended with 30 wt% of fly ash. As raw materials, three kinds of Portland cements, with different content of GA (5.45-l 1.84 wt%), were applied. Fly ash was added so as to decrease the GA content (to 3.82-8.29 v&Oh). The test samples were exposed to the influence of aggressive environment (solutions with 1000 and 2000 mg/l of the SOi* ions as well as 320 mg/l of the NH4" ions). Experiments lasted six months, while the flexural strengths were measured after 1,2,4 and 6 months. The corrosion resistance factor was calculated. For the examined systems, a correlation was suggested. It expresses the resistance factor as a function of three independent variables (the GA content, duration of corrosion process and concentration of the SOi2 ions).

## Abstract One method proposed for utilisation of highβmagnesia Portland cements involves the addition of active siliceous admixtures such as fly ash or ground granulated blastfurnace slag. This addition enables otherwise unsound cements to pass the ASTM autoclave test (C151β74a) for expansion of

Cubes of a sulfate-resisting Portland cement (SRPC) paste that had been stored for 6 months in solutions of Na2S04 or MgS04 were examined by scanning electron microscopy using backscattered electron imaging and X-ray microanalysis. The changes observed were broadly similar to those which we have fou
