Development of Strength for Calcium Aluminate Cement Mortars Blended with GGBS by Hee Jun Yang, Ki Yong Ann, Min Sun Jung

“…In addition, the strength development of mortar showed a continuous increased value up to 365 days, accounting 43.8–57.5 MPa for the mixtures, due to a formation of stratlingite, which was identified at the pastes cured for 365 days using chemical and microscopic analysis. However, GGBS replacement did not affect on the pore size distribution in the cement matrix, except for total intrusion volume.…”
