Study on freeze-thaw resistance and pore structure deterioration of fly ash reactive powder concrete based on low-field NMR relaxation by Dehong Wang, Hongji Zhang, Pang Chen, Yanzhong Ju, Peng Guo

“…The results demonstrate that an appropriate cement replacement with FA can fill the internal pores of the matrix and fully react with Ca(OH)2 for secondary hydration, significantly reduce the number of harmful pores in RPC and optimize the pore size distribution, thus inhibiting the generation of cracks during the freeze-thaw cycle. This replacement leads to reduced mass loss of RPC during cycles and an increase in RDME. …”
