This paper presented the role of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), including fly
ash (FA), granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS), and silica fume (SF) in long-term resistance …

Durability is one of the most important considerations regarding the design of new concrete
structures in aggressive environments. Thaumasite sulfate attack (TSA) is one durability …

Abstract In County Donegal, northwest Ireland, thousands of homes built with concrete
blocks show an increasing degree of severe structural defects attributed to high mica content …

Gypsum formation mechanisms during external sulfate attack were studied on Portland
cements of various C 3 A content exposed to low sulfate concentrations. Though ettringite is …

Written specifically for the young professional and addressing a growing need for a long
service life with minimal maintenance, Concrete Durability takes a whole new look at the …

To explore the formation of ettringite at lower temperatures in the Portland cement/calcium
aluminate cement/calcium sulfate ternary system hydrates, the effect of calcium sulfate …

Thaumasite sulfate attack (TSA) directly leads to the decomposition of the CSH gel and
converts the hardened cement paste into a non-cohesive substance. The prevention of TSA …

The calcium sulfosilicate phase ternesite, previously considered as an undesired product in
cement kilns, has recently gained attention due to its potential replacement of ye'elimite in …

Experimental study on the effect of mechanical behavior of quaternary binders, prepared
using various supplementary cementitious materials was performed. Fly ash (FA), Ground …

The use of coral sand filler and supplementary cementitious materials partially replacing
Portland cement facilitates the utilization of coral debris waste in oceanic construction as …
