Study of the cement systems reactivity modified with mineral additives

Abstract

The influence of mineral fillers on the hydration of cement systems and the curing of concrete during their partial replacement of cement has been studied. A comprehensive approach based on a combination of isothermal calorimetry method and compressive strength tests was used in this work. The results obtained allowed to draw conclusions about the reactive pozzolanic activity of silica fume and metakaolin, the microreinforcing function of wollastonite, and the effect of the zeolite filler.
