Abstract

The objective of this paper is to characterise sulphate resistance of mortars made from ordinary Portland cement ( PC ) and Portland-pozzolan cement with 35 wt.% of zeolite addition (zeolite-blended cement-ZBC ). Mortars with two different cement types were tested in water and 5% sodium sulphate solution for 720 days. A favourable effect of zeolite on increased sulphate resistance of the cement is caused by decrease in free Ca(OH)₂ content of the mortar There is not sufficient of Ca(OH)₂ available for reacting with the sulphate solution to form voluminous reaction products. A decreased C₃A, content due to 35 wt.% replacement of PC by zeolite is the next pronounced factor improving resistance of the mortar with such blended cement.
