Heat of hydration and mechanical properties of high performance concrete

In the recent years, there is an environmental issue of cement industry being the main contributor of carbon dioxide emission. Ways to reduce the use of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) have been investigated through using mineral admixtures to replace cement. This replacement of admixtures not only c...
