Abstract:
Comparison is made between the behavior of un-treated and steam-cured specimens of concrete in sulfate solutions. Includes a report on tests of steam-cured composite cement mortars and experimental results. Steam curing causes the ffrst reaction in each case to proceed almost to completion with the formation of crystalline C3A* 6HzO, and partial or complete removal of free lime by combination with silica sand and depending on the quantity of C3S present.
