The article describes the influence of fine natural pozzolana as supplementary cementitious material on the properties of high strength concrete. Natural pozzolana (NP) is a porous material which results in higher porosities and thus lower compressive strength when used in high replacement levels. But if only a small part of cement (up to 10% of weight) is substituted by NP it has positive consequences. The open porosity is on the contrary lowered, resulting in better strength in compression. Thermal characteristics are as usually enhanced with the growth in the content of pores which is in disagreement of mechanical properties and durability of concrete.

Metakaolin (MK) is a mineral admixture, various tests are carried out on the usage of Metakaolin for the development of high strength concrete. MK is a supplementary cementitious material derived from heat treatment of natural deposits of kaolin. Metakaolin exhibits high pozzolana reactivity due to their amorphous structure and high surface area. Concrete is the most commonly used material for development of infrastructure. As infrastructure is growing there arises problems in repairs. Due to manufacture of cement, Co2gets emitted into environment. Researches started on working partial replacement of cement, which occur naturallyor manufactured. The different type of pozzolonic materials like metakaolin, silica fume, and fly ash etc, are the material have binding properties that of cement. The present study focuses on replacement cement with metakaolin by 0, 5, 10,15and 20% and fine aggregate with M-sand by 50%.

The effects of steel slag with 0, 10%, 20 % and 40% content on the chemical shrinkage, autogenous shrinkage, internal relative humidity, and drying shrinkage of calcium sulfoaluminate cement paste were studied. The results show that the compressive strength of calcium sulfoaluminate cement paste at an early stage decreases gradually when the content of steel slag increases. When the steel slag content is 0 and 10%, the compressive strength of hardened cement pastes gradually decreases at 90 and 180 days, but the samples with steel slag content of 20% and 40% maintain the compressive strength growth within 180 d. With the extension of curing period, the gap of compressive strength is gradually narrowed. The autogenous shrinkage decreases with the increase of steel slag content and has a good linear relationship with the relative humidity inside the paste. The proportion of autogenous shrinkage to chemical shrinkage is deficient, and most chemical shrinkage occurs in the form of the pore volume. Although the trends of drying shrinkage and autogenous are consistent, the former is more severe than the latter.

This paper aimed to report the effects of fly ash (FA) on the mechanical properties and hydration of calcium sulfoaluminate-activated supersulfated cement (CSA-SSC). The CSA-SSC comprises of 80% granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), 15% anhydrite, and 5% high-belite calcium sulfoaluminate cement (HB-CSA) clinker. The hydration products of CSA-SSC with or without FA were investigated by X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The experimental results indicated that the addition of FA by 10% to 30% resulted in a decrease in the rate of heat evolution and total heat evolution of CSA-SSC. As the content of FA was increased in the CSA-SSC system, the compressive and flexural strengths of the CSA-SSC with FA after 1 day of hydration were decreased. After 7 days of hydration, the compressive and flexural strength of CSA-SSC mixed with 10 wt.% and 20 wt.% of FA rapidly increased and exceeded that of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), especially the flexural strength. Moreover, the compressive strength of CSA-SSC mixed with 30 wt.% of FA after 90 days of hydration was close to that of OPC, and flexural strength of CSA-SSC mixed with 30 wt.% of FA after 7 days of hydration was close to that of OPC. The hydration products of the CSA-SSC and CSA-SSC mixed with FA were mainly ettringite and calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H).

In this paper, restrained ring test and shrinkage test are carried on three kinds of concrete—high-strength portland cement concrete, high-strength calcium sulfoaluminate cement concrete and high-strength calcium sulfoaluminate cement concrete with internal curing in order to evaluate the shrinkage induced cracking performance of the concretes. The experimental results show that calcium sulfoaluminate cement concrete exhibits lower shrinkage caused by surface drying comparing to portland cement concrete. Internal curing can eliminate most of the autogenous shrinkage of concrete. In the ring test, the latter two concrete did not crack during the whole test history—42 days, while high-strength portland cement concrete cracked at the 13th day after casting. High strength calcium sulfoaluminate cement concrete exhibits better anti-cracking ability than the high strength portland cement concrete with the same strength grade.
