Factors Influencing the Hydration, Dimensional Stability, and Strength Development of the OPC-CSA-Anhydrite Ternary System

Due to the advantages of high early strength and rapid setting, ternary systems consisting of ordinary Portland clinker (OPC), calcium sulphoaluminate (CSA) clinker, and anhydrite have broad application prospects. However, further studies need to be undertaken to find a more optimal mixing proportio...
