Abstract

The influence of NaCl (3% of Clby weight of cement) on the reactivity of High Alumina Cement (HAC) in water has been studied over a period of one month. The changes in microstructure were monitored by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The pore-solution, extracted by the application of high mechanical pressure (500 MPa), was studied for the chemical composition and changes caused by chloride and sodium ions.
