Abstract:This study aimed to understand the synergistic effect of dolomite powder (DM) and metakaolin (MK) on the strengths and hydration products of Portland cement (PC), then facilitating DM application in PC. Results showed that the combination of DM and MK improved the flexural and compressive
strengths of mortars at 20 °C and 60 °C markedly. This was mainly due to that the combined effect of DM and MK improved the pore structure. At 20 °C, the incorporation of MK in the PC-DM pastes stimulated the generation of c… Show more
