This paper presents results of an investigation of calcium sulphate-blast furnace slag binders cured for up to 600 days with small additions of fly-ash or silica fume. Hemihydrate and fluorgypsum were used as the calcium sulphate sources. The binders showed good mechanical and hydraulic properties; the water resistance was attributed to the formation of C-S-H with Ca/Si ratio between 1.08 and 1.78 finely intermixed with the gypsum initially formed. Ettringite was formed after the reaction between gypsum and aluminum from the slag and fly ash; however, its formation was hindered in the presence of silica fume, which improved the dimensional stability.
