Abstract

The effects of two different low calcium fly ashes on the hydration of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) pastes containing 50 wt.% of fly ash were investigated over a hydration time of 550 days. The results were compared with a reference blend of OPC containing 50 wt.% of inert quartz powder allowing the distinction between "filler effect" and pozzolanic reaction. Until 2 days, no evidence of fly ash reaction was measured and its influence on the hydration is mainly related to the filler effect. From 7 days on, the effects of the pozzolanic reaction were observed by the consumption of portlandite, the change of the pore solution chemistry, the formation of a presumably water-rich inner hydration product and the change of the C-S-H composition towards higher Al/Si ratio compared to the C-S-H of neat OPC. Additional strength due to the pozzolanic reaction developed after 28 days of hydration. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
