“…These cements have been used in China as a binder for concrete in bridges, concrete pipes, precast concrete, prestressed concrete elements, low temperature construction and shotcrete. It was also used in the USA for renovations that require rapid strength gain [6].…”

“…Thus, there is a need for more research on the long-term durability [12]. In fact, a lower failure rate was observed after 7 to 18 years of renovation with CSA elements, if compared to the original Portland cement parts [6]. Relative to its use in wet environments, CSA cements containing gypsum in their constitution can undergo overexpansion.…”

The production of Portland cement (OP) is commonly associated to significant level of energy consumption and gas emissions. The use of calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA) can be a sustainable alternative binder, since its production releases about half of the CO2 emissions and its clinker requires 200 °C lower temperatures, when compared to OP. Furthermore, CSA has fast setting time and achieves higher strength in shorter periods, as well as reduced shrinkage. This paper discusses the incorporation of CSA in rendering mortars and basecoat mortars for ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems). The physical-mechanical properties of mortars made with OP and CSA cements were experimental evaluated. The results showed that the introduction of CSA generally improves shrinkage, compressive strength, water absorption at low pressure, enhances the tensile bending strength and decreases the setting time. The amount of CSA introduced into the mixture significantly affected the properties of the cement matrix.
