Abstract:
Belitic calcium sulfoaluminate cement is a fast setting, fast strength gain alternative cement that has some advantages which make it a good structural material. Because it is a low shrinkage cement it is a great choice for structural repairs. BCSA cement's fast strength gain also makes it a good choice for precast concrete. This presentation details past work on the use of belitic calcium sulfoaluminate cement in structures. The flexural and shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams made with BCSA cement will be described including comparisons with building code equations and with portland cement concrete. Finally, an update on ongoing work on structural concrete repairs made with BCSA cement will be given.
