β¦ Synopsis
High alumina cement paste, in the presence of silica fume, shows an increasing strength trend even at 20Β°C and 4O"C, since this pouolan causes the formation of gehlenite hydrate (C2ASHS) and therefore strongly reduces the transformation of hexagonal aluminate hydrates (CAHlg, C2AHS) into the cubic hydrate (QAHS) which is responsible for the strength loss of high-alumina cement mixes at higher temperatures (>2O"C). On the contrary, fly ash is not suitable for reducing the transformation of hexagonal hydrates into the cubic phase. Consequently, the strength at 20Β°C and 40Β°C of the fly ash-high alumina cement mixes decrease as well as the high alumina cement pastes in the absence of pozzolan.

This work presents the relationship that exists between pozzolanic activity in certain materials (opaline rocks, fly ash and silica fume) and hydration heat, measured using the Langavant calorimeter method. Pozzolanic activity is evaluated using an accelerated method that establishes the reaction sp
The effects of aluminate minerals on the phases and strengths of magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) have been studied. The X-ray diffraction examination results showed that the addition of small quantities of the hydraulic aluminate minerals can cause the conversion of the reaction products in MOC p
