Microstructural, physical, and thermal analyses of Portland cement-fly ash-calcium hydroxide blended pastes
The effect of calcium hydroxide (CH) on the properties of Portland-fly ash cement pastes, at up to high-volume fly ash mixes has been investigated using normal consistency, setting time, compressive strength, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscope. CH as an additive material (5 and 10 wt%...
