This paper describes the influence of different thermally activated clay wastes (ACW) on the hydration phases in cement pastes containing two percentages of addition (10% and 20%). Results show that the main products obtained during hydration of cement pastes containing ACW were portlandite, calcium aluminate hydrates, calcium silicate hydrates, and hydrotalcite-type compounds. Portlandite formation decreases when addition percentage is 20%, contrary to tetracalcium aluminate hydrate, which increases in similar conditions. The ACW that showed the most portlandite consumption was ACW1 (700 degrees C, 2 h) according to thermogravimetric data.
