Leveraging Delayed Strength Gains in Supplementary Cementitious Material Concretes by Marcelo Tramontin is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study explores the long-term strength development of concrete using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and suggests rethinking mix designs to enhance cost efficiency and sustainability. It finds that pozzolan and slag cements exhibit significant strength gains beyond the traditional 28-day benchmark, leading to potential cost savings of approximately 14% when optimizing for long-term strength. The research emphasizes the importance of adjusting concrete mix designs based on both performance an
