RT Journal Article T1 Aging and durability of ternary cements containing fly ash and activated paper sludge A1 Vegas, I. A1 Gaitero, J. J. A1 Urreta, J. A1 García, R. A1 Frías, M. AB This research work deals with durability aspects of ternary cements containing 79 wt.% ordinary Portland cement (CEM I), 10.5 wt.% coal fly ash and 10.5 wt.% thermally activated paper sludge. Aging tests were performed to study the resistance of the new ternary cement matrixes to the following aggressive exposure conditions: accelerated freeze/thaw cycles, marine environment and Spanish plateau climate conditions. Ternary cements revealed a high resistance to accelerated freeze/thaw cycles. In addition, after 18 months of exposure, they exhibited enhanced performance under marine conditions and similar resistance to Spanish plateau's climate, compared to ordinary Portland cement.
