Abstract:
Sulfoaluminate cements have been in use in the United States since the sixties. First as shrinkage-compensating cements and later as rapid-setting cements. CTS has been a leader in this field and has, over the years, developed a wide range of products and applications based on ye’elimite, from rapid-strength pavement to performance-engineered products. Concrete pavement infrastructure built in California during the 1960s-1970s required major rehabilitation by the 1990s. Ye’elimite-based cements pioneered this concept at Caltrans. Since then, CSA cement has been used across California and in many states for rapid highway pavement reconstruction, on the basis of performance specifications. Examples of CSA uses include applications such as bridge hinge reconstruction, overlays, bridge deck repairs, link slabs, approach slabs, seismic retrofits, airfield pavements (gates aprons, taxiways, and runways) and well over 20 performance-engineered products from low-permeability concrete to UHPC, RSLMC and others.
