Impact of Elevated Temperatures on Strength Properties and Microstructure of Calcium Sulfoaluminate Paste
This article is motivated by civil fire safety. Fire-prevention engineering demands a wide range of information about building materials including alternative cements, for instance CSA-cement. Because of exposure of the cement-base material to a high temperature, its strength properties deteriorate...
