Compressive strength tests were conducted on prism-shaped samples measuring 4 × 4 × 16 cm. A comprehensive analysis of the phase assemblage of hardened products was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results reveal the abundant formation of ettringite (E) and hydrotalcite (Ht) when weak acid salt agents are added, especially in chloride and sulfate-rich curing solutions, leading to a notable increase in compressive strength, up to 200% compared to the control sample. Furthermore, the study demonstrates a substantial improvement in early and overall strength under temperature-stimulated curing conditions, accelerating the hydration reaction of SSC. These findings provide deeper insights into the factors influencing SSC hardening and strength development, offering valuable information for enhancing the efficiency and utilization of SSC in the construction industry, aligning with the goals of sustainable development.}, type={Article}, title={Influence of weak acid salts and curing condition on supersulfated cement mortar}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/132828/35_1k.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ace.2024.151001}, keywords={supersulfated cement, GBF slag, weak acid salt agent, curing condition, durability}, }
