In this study, a non-contact electrical resistivity method is employed to investigate the
hydration process of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) pastes incorporating silica fume (SF) …

Due to its low hydraulic reactivity, ladle slag is currently underutilized with nearly 80% of
annual generation is either landfilled or dumped. This work investigates the joint activation …

In this study, one‐part “just add water” geopolymer binders are synthesized through the
alkali‐thermal activation of the red mud which is relatively rich in both alumina and calcium …

The impact of temperature on carbonation was investigated in laboratory conditions using a
device developed for this purpose. Two hardened cement pastes (CEM I and CEM V/A) …

The influence of sodium sulfate, as an activator, on the hydration of calcium aluminate
cement (CAC)–fly ash (FA)–silica fume (SF) composites was investigated. Different mixes of …

This paper presents an experimental study on characteristics and stability of cenospheres
used in lightweight cement composites. ASTM C227 and C1260 tests were used to evaluate …

Recent advances and highlights in characterization methods are reviewed for cement
minerals, cements and their reaction products. The emphasis is on X-ray and neutron …

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are widely used with Portland cement.
Similar approach was applied for calcium aluminium cement in this paper. Potential SCMs …

Diatomaceous earth from Lampang Province in the north of Thailand composes of diatom,
kaolinite, montmorillonite and illite, and has porous cellular structure. In this work, the …

The most widely identified degradation process suffered by calcium aluminate cement
(CAC) is the so-called conversion of hexagonal calcium aluminate hydrate to cubic form …
