Low-grade fly ash in portland cement blends: A decoupling approach to evaluate reactivity and hydration effects by Qingxu Jin, Wenyu Liao, Xiaoqiang Ni, Hongyan Ma

“…The results exhibit that the fly ash tends to retard the early-age hydration of cement but promotes its later-age hydration, resulting in a higher ultimate degree of reaction of cement than the reference paste. The microstructural and porosity evaluation shows that the fly ash, though has relatively low degrees of reaction due to its low glass content, can result in a more tortuous pore network of the hydrated pastes, which could be potentially more resistant to the penetration of water and aggressive chemicals.…”
