Figure 5

X-ray patterns of the norite-based binders cured for 7 days at 87°C and ambient pressure.

(a) Specimen 1: Na-containing system, amorphous phase as a broad diffuse halo in the 2θ range between 5 and 15°

(b) Specimen 4: K-containing system with GGBFS, lower content of amorphous phase in the 2θ range between 5 and 15°
