5 Introduction The basis for this European Standard has been the national standards already existing in Europe. Supersulfated cement was originally standardised in several European countries, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and has been used in concrete for foundations and massive structures. The demand for quick setting cements enabling early formwork removal caused the manufacturing of supersulfated cements to be superseded by those based on Portland cement clinker. Standards were either abandoned, as in France, or kept in the catalogue of standards but never used, as in the United Kingdom.
In discharging the mandate given to CEN, Technical Committee TC 51 considered the large number of different cements involved. It was decided to separate the "common cements", where the hardening mainly depends on the hydration of calcium silicates and setting these out in EN 197-1, from "special cements", i.e. those with additional or special properties.
Supersulfated cement hardening depends on granulated blastfurnace slag activation by calcium sulfate. A lower heat of hydration than for Portland cement clinker results in lower early compressive strength than common cements and a significantly lower early heat of hydration. In addition, it produces concrete which has resistance to chemically aggressive environments, such as sulfates. Ongoing developments in material technology as well as in production technology again open the option to produce supersulfated cement fulfilling the demands and requirements of the market. As the principles in hydration differ from that of "common cements" covered by EN 197-1, CEN Technical Committee TC 51 decided to elaborate a separate standard for supersulfated cement. The rate of hardening and lower early strength require that additional precautions are considered when using supersulfated cements to ensure adequate concrete curing. SIST EN 15743:2010

EN 15743:2010 (E) 8 4 Supersulfated cement Supersulfated cement is a hydraulic binder, i.e. a finely ground inorganic material which, when mixed with water, forms a paste which sets and hardens by means of hydration reactions and processes and which, after hardening, retains its strength and stability even under water.
Supersulfated cements consist mainly of granulated blastfurnace slag and calcium sulfate. They are statistically homogeneous in composition resulting from quality assured production and material handling processes. The link between these production and material handling processes and the conformity of cement to this standard is defined in EN 197-2.
In supersulfated cement, in contrast to common cements according to EN 197-1, ground granulated blastfurnace slag is mainly activated by calcium sulfate. In order to accelerate the activation and early hydration of slag, additional constituents may be added. 5 Constituents 5.1 Main constituents 5.1.1 Granulated blastfurnace slag (S) Granulated blastfurnace slag is made by rapid cooling of a slag melt of suitable composition, as obtained by smelting iron ore in a blastfurnace and consists of at least two-thirds by mass of glassy slag and possesses hydraulic properties when suitably activated.
Granulated blastfurnace slag shall consist of at least two-thirds by mass of the sum of calcium oxide (CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO) and silicon dioxide (SiO2). The remainder contains aluminium oxide (Al2O3) together with small amounts of other compounds. The ratio by mass (CaO + MgO)/(SiO2) shall exceed 1,0.
NOTE Rapid cooling includes quenching in water (granulation) and projecting through water and air (pelletisation). 5.1.2 Calcium sulfate (Cs) Calcium sulfate can be gypsum calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O), hemihydrate (CaSO4.½H2O), or anhydrite (anhydrous calcium sulfate, CaSO4) or any mixture of them. Gypsum and anhydrite are found naturally. Calcium sulfate is also available as a by-product of certain industrial processes.
5.2 Additional constituents 5.2.1 Portland cement clinker (K) Portland cement clinker is made by sintering a precisely specified mixture of raw materials (raw meal, paste or slurry) containing elements, usually expressed as oxides, CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and small quantities of other materials. The raw meal, paste or slurry is finely divided, intimately mixed and therefore homogeneous.
Portland cement clinker is a hydraulic material which shall consist of at least two-thirds by mass of calcium silicates (3CaO.SiO2 and 2CaO.SiO2), the remainder consisting of aluminium and iron containing clinker phases and other compounds. The ratio by mass (CaO)/(SiO2) shall be not less than 2,0. The content of magnesium oxide (MgO) shall not exceed 5,0 % by mass.
5.2.2 Other additional constituents (A) Other additional constituents are specially selected, inorganic mineral materials of natural origin, inorganic mineral materials derived from the cement production process, excluding Portland cement clinker according to 5.2.1, and/or inorganic mineral materials derived from the production process for air lime or natural hydraulic lime to EN 459-1.
SIST EN 15743:2010
EN 15743:2010 (E)
9 Other additional constituents, after appropriate preparation and on account of their particle size distribution, improve the physical properties of the cement (such as workability or water retention). They can be inert or have slightly hydraulic, latent hydraulic or pozzolanic properties. However, no requirements are set for them in this respect.
Other additional constituents shall be correctly prepared, i.e. selected, homogenised, dried and comminuted depending on their state of production or delivery. They shall not increase the water demand of the cement appreciably, impair the resistance of the concrete or mortar to deterioration in any way or reduce the corrosion protection of the reinforcement.
NOTE Information on the other additional constituents in the cement should be available from the manufacturer on request. 5.3 Additives Additives for the purpose of this standard are constituents not covered in 5.1 to 5.2 which are added to improve the manufacture or the properties of the cement.
The total quantity of additives shall not exceed 1,0 % by mass of the cement (except for pigments). The quantity of organic additives on a dry basis shall not exceed 0,2 % by mass of the cement without the higher value being declared.
These additives shall not promote corrosion of the reinforcement or impair the properties of the cement or of the concrete or mortar made from the cement.
When admixtures for concrete, mortar or grouts conforming to the EN 934 series are used in cement the standard notation of the admixture shall be declared on bags or delivery documents. 6 Composition and notation The notation of supersulfated cement is:
SSC
Supersulfated cement.
The composition of supersulfated cement shall be in accordance with Table 1.
NOTE The requirements for the composition refer to the sum of all main and additional constituents. The final cement should be understood as the main and additional constituents plus the necessary additives.

Three classes of standard strength are included: class 32,5, class 42,5 and class 52,5 (see Table 2).
7.1.2 Early strength The early strength of supersulfated cement is the compressive strength determined in accordance with EN 196-1 at either two days or seven days and shall conform to the requirements in Table 2.
Two classes of early strength are included for each class of standard strength, a class with low early strength, indicated by L and a class with ordinary early strength, indicated by N (see Table 2).

7.2.2 Soundness The expansion, determined in accordance with EN 196-3, shall conform to the requirement in Table 2.
7.2.3 Heat of hydration The heat of hydration, determined in accordance with EN 196-8 at seven days or in accordance with EN 196-9 at 41 h, shall not exceed the characteristic value of 220 J/g.
Therefore SSC is classified as a very low heat cement. NOTE A pre-normative research project demonstrated that results obtained from tests in accordance with EN 196-8 at seven days and in accordance with EN 196-9 at 41 h, were equivalent. However, in the event of dispute between laboratories, the method should be agreed upon by the parties involved. SIST EN 15743:2010

7.4 Durability requirements 7.4.1 General In many applications, particularly in severe environmental conditions, the choice of cement has an influence on the durability of concrete, mortar and grouts, e.g. frost resistance, chemical resistance and protection of reinforcement.
The choice of cement, as regards type and strength class for different applications and exposure classes shall follow the appropriate standards and/or regulations for concrete, mortar or grouts valid in the place of use.
7.4.2 Sulfate resistance Supersulfated cement conforming to the requirements of this standard is to be considered as sulfate resisting.
NOTE Many countries apply further restrictions to the production of concrete to be used in a sulfate environment, such as minimum cement content and/or maximum water/cement ratio depending on the type and intensity of the sulfate conditions. 8 Standard designation Supersulfated cement shall be identified by at least the notation as specified in Clause 6 and the figures 32,5, 42,5 or 52,5 indicating the standard strength class and the letter L or N indicating the early strength class (see 7.1).
