T. Sebok et al., The compressive strength of samples containing fly ash with high content of calcium sulfate and calcium oxide, CEM CONCR R, 31(7), 2001, pp. 1101-1107
Influence of composition of solid samples with fluidized bed combustion pro
duct, two types of cement binders and NaCl (as a chosen additive) on the co
mpressive strength and the characteristics of microstructure of samples aft
er 2 years of hardening were studied. NaCl causes marked increase of compre
ssive strength after 28, 360 and 720 days of hardening. After 720 days of h
ardening the following detectable products of hydration are present in the
samples: gypsum, portlandite, ettringite, hydroxylellestadite (Hexel - Ca-1
0(SiO4)(3)(SO4)(3)(OH)(2)). Relationships between characteristics of X-ray
diffraction analysis and compressive strength of specimens after 720 days w
ere found. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
