With the similar chemical composition of RHA and SF,the activity of RHA,therefore,is different from that of SF. The objective of this work is to study the hydration and the microstructure of Portland cement blended with RHA in comparison with SF. The test results show that SF refined the pore structure of cement paste better than RHA. However,the effect of RHA on cement hydration is more pronouned than that of SF for the mixture with low water to binder ratio.展开更多
