Abstract
At present, there is an increasing interest on the use of calcium sulphoaluminate (C4A3$) in cement. In this paper, pure mineral of sulphoaluminate (C4A3$) was prepared in laboratory. Different dosages of steel slag and C4A3$ were blended into cement. The aim of this paper is to investigate the compressive strength of this ternary system. The test results show that the addition of C4A3$ can improve the strength of cement. Larger C4A3$ dosage (7%) may reduce the 28 days strength. The optimal C4A3$ dosage is 5%. In ternary system, C4A3$ has no obvious improvement, while 5% dosage could improve the strength a little.
