3rd International Workshop on Calcium Sulfoaluminate Cements

Scope and background

Calcium sulfoaluminate cements are receiving increasing interest as (i) an environmentally friendly alternative to Portland cement and (ii) as they can be used to formulate mortars and concretes with special properties such as fast setting, high early strength or shrinkage-compensation. Thus in the recent years the number of publications in this field increased rapidly, and new products came on the market.
We aim at exchanging state-of-the-art knowledge regarding production, hydration, properties, durability and application of calcium sulfoaluminate cements. Gathering experts from all around the world will stimulate scientific discussions and can promote national and international collaboration.
