Improvement of the early-age reactivity of fly ash and blast furnace slag cementitious systems using limestone filler (2011, background): “heterogeneous nucleation. According to Cyr et al. [ 41 ], the physical effect of fine particles is dominating at early age while the pozzolanic effect prevails at longer-term.”
Determination of cement hydration and pozzolanic reaction extents for fly-ash cement pastes (2012, positive): “Meanwhile, adding fly-ash into cement–water systempromotes the hydration of cement grains by twomechanisms: (1) under same w/b ratio the replacementof cementbyFAaugments thewater to cement ratio (w/c) thus promotes the hydration extent of cement by more water availability [5,6]; (2) the FA sphere pa”
Pore structure characterization of cement pastes blended with high-volume fly-ash (2012, background): “As fly-ash is incorporated into cement, the cement is “diluted” with respect to water and fly-ash particles serve as nucleation sites for cement hydration products [3].”
Influence of limestone and anhydrite on the hydration of Portland cements (2014, background): “The addition of limestone to Portland cements generally accelerates the early hydration and increases the strength at early ages of the cement as the limestone provides additional nucleation sites, which accelerate the early reaction [5,6,46,47].”
