This randomized trial evaluates the properties of Belitic calcium sulfoaluminate cement concrete, suggesting improvements in predictive models.

This study aims to understand the engineering properties of Belitic calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) cement concrete and develop predictive equations.
Measured properties included compressive strength, uniaxial stress–strain behavior, tensile splitting strength, and modulus of rupture.
Used non-destructive testing methods like ultrasonic pulse velocity and dynamic resonance on ten concrete mixtures.
Tested samples at various ages from 4 hours to 6 months, comparing results with concrete design code equations.
Compressive strength for BCSA cement concrete ranged from 30 to 100 MPa (4 to 14 ksi).
Modulus of elasticity predictions fit within 10% mean absolute percent error for multiple code equations.
Proposed new equations for estimating elastic modulus as historical models were inadequate for BCSA cement concrete.

Johnson et al. (2026) studied this question.
