Description: This PCA Library Bibliography lists articles, papers, and patents (with summaries) on supersulfated cements (SSC), a type of specialty cement that has received renewed attention. Invented in the early 1900’s and used extensively in Europe for concretes exposed to chemical attack, such as sea water and sulfate bearing ground waters, SSC contain a high percentage (85%) of blast furnace slag, 10-15% gypsum or anhydrite, and 1-5% portland cement. Due to deterioration of the available slag quality, supersulfated cements faded out in the 1970’s, but have found renewed interest and official acceptance by the European standards community.
