Abstract
Early strength of the blended Portland cements containing granulated blast furnace slag and natural pozzolanas (zeolite tuff, etc.) can be enhanced by the alkali-sulfate activation. High early strength of the blended Portland cements as a result of alkali-sulfate activation can be attributed to acceleration of pozzolanic reaction at the early stages and formation of more quantities of ettringite at the early stages of structure formation. The results of the study showed that with high amounts of sodium sulfate in the alkali-sulfate activator, contents of gypsum dihydrate as a setting regulator of the blended Portland cements could be reduced. The effect of sodium sulfate activator on properties of the blended Portland cements was studied and the results are discussed.
