Abstract
The mechanical performance of a hybrid cement containing 48% fly ash, 48% mineralized belite clinker, 1. 5% gypsum and 2.5% Na2SO4 was analyzed and the hydration products were identified. The findings showed that the newly designed cement met European standard EN 197-1 compositional, mechanical and setting time requirements (cement type IVB). The hydration products forming in this blended “alkaline-belite” cement (as it was determined through XRD, 29Si and 27Al MAS NMR and electron microscopy) consisted in a mix of cementitious gels: C-(A)-S-H and N-(C)-A-S-H, which interacted and over time evolved toward the latter with no detriment to the mechanical strength developed by the cement.Keywords
