Qb. Yang et al., Effect of ground quartz sand on properties of high-strength concrete in the steam-autoclaved curing, CEM CONCR R, 30(12), 2000, pp. 1993-1998
Effects of many factors, such as ground quartz sand (GQS) replacement of ce
ment, SiO2 content and specific area of GQS, and steam-curing temperature o
n the mechanical properties of high-strength concrete that was steam-autocl
aved, were investigated. The mechanism of GQS replacement of cement was ana
lyzed by XRD. The process adjustment and the cost of raw materials in concr
ete after GQS replacement of cement were also discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier
