Abstract
The significant structural implications of cement durability have given rise to substantial research on the subject. This study explores the performance of new blended cements bearing pozzolanic construction and demolition waste (C&DW) as an addition when exposed to sulfate attack. Durability is studied in cement pastes with and without C&DW, addressing the formation of new compounds, mechanical strength, outward appearance and porosity after soaking in two concentrations of sodium sulfate solution for exposure times ranging from 14 to 56Â days. The findings confirm that the inclusion of clay-based C&DW improves blended cement durability.
