Abstract:The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of the presence of sulfate in the microstructure and compressive strength of cement pastes. The lack of availability of more suitable aggregates, for reasons of distance or costs, sometimes leads to the use of materials that contain sulfate in their composition, which is harmful to cement mixtures. Currently, there are normative recommendations that limit the content of contaminants in the aggregates. However, there are still divergences as to the conten… Show more
