When the hydration kinetics of properly sulfated Portland cements is monitored by heat flow calorimetry, initial dissolution peak and dormant period followed main – formation calcium-silicate-hydrates portlandite, so-called silicate peak. This superimposed a associated to further tricalcium aluminate surge in precipitation sulfoaluminates (the sulfate depletion peak) right after added for setti...

Alkali-activated slag cements (AAS) are considered as an alternative to portland cement (PC) in many studies. A significant number of studies have focused on their mechanical and durability properties, but very few concentrated rheological behavior. In this study, the effects sodium silicate hydroxide properties structural build-up alkali-activated GGBFS mixtures been investigated. The silicate...
