Abstract: The objective of this study is to understand the factors inhibiting the reaction of SCMs at later ages. Different hypothesis are investigated in this paper. The availability of portlandite at later age is one possible hypothesis for preventing the reaction of calcined clay. Coarse particles
in slag cement could inhibit slag reaction. Finally, the lack of large pores could be another factor, which restrains the possible growth of hydration and thus limit the reaction of SCMs.
