Clinker-free CaO-activated silica fume as a cementitious binder for pavement application by Pranav, Shreyas, Lahoti, Mukund, Muthukumar, G., Yang, En-Hua

“…The combination of low-volume CaO and high-volume silica fume, particularly as a pavement binder has not been studied in the literature before. The compressive and flexural strength results showed that even by using a small fraction of CaO in the binder, it is possible to obtain acceptable strengths that satisfy ASTM pavement design guidelines, while OPC is unable to provide similar strengths at such low dosage. …”
