Compressive strength measurements on binary and ternary blended cementitious paste specimens produced with seawater-mixing

The following file consists of data from the published article Rathnarajan et al., (2024) Comprehensive evaluation of early-age hydration and compressive strength development in seawater-mixed binary and ternary cementitious systems published in Archives of Civil and Mechanical Engineering. 

The excel file contains of compressive strength data of cement paste specimens of size 2 cm.  

1. From column B to Column N: Mix proportion details including the type of binders, total binder content, and clinker substitution level with SCMs are provided

2. From Column O to Column AM: Compressive strength data of the paste specimens were listed out for FW-mixed and SW-mixed cementitious systems for the testing ages, 2, 7, 14, 28 and 90 days. 

3. Also the % change in compressive strength is calculated by calculating the difference in strength between SW-mixed and FW-mixed specimen divided by strength of FW-mixed specimens
