Outcomes of the RILEM round robin on degree of reaction of Slag and fly ash in composite cements
2016
Working group 2 of the RILEM TC 238-SCM organized a round robin test to compare the
protocols of different laboratories to determine the degree of reaction of two slags,
a calcareous and a siliceous fly ash in binary mixes with Portland cement. The techniques
used were: selective dissolution, analysis of the differences in portlandite content from
thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction with PONKCS (partial or no known crystal
structure) refinement, and scanning electron microscopy with image analysis. As each
laboratory followed their own protocols, the collective assessment of the results provided an
idea of the maximum inter-laboratory variability, which should be universally valid. This
study assesses the accuracy and precision of the four techniques investigated and with respect
to each of the materials studied.
