Abstract: | Traditional pozzolanic mortars such as those from Rhodes, Greece, or Hagia Sophia, Turkey, revealed the presence of a calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) binding phase. This phase, which is similar to that found in ordinary Portland cement (OPC), is produced under the pozzolanic reaction of slaked lime with fine reactive siliceous sources at temperatures <100 °C. The traditional siliceous sources were replaced by fumed silica or tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). A microstructural analysis revealed an enhanced reaction rate but similar morphologies of the resultant C-S-H phases, confirming that the reaction-limiting factor is the dissolution of the siliceous sources. |
