One of the problems to affect Portland cement matrices is low resistance to aggressive agents, due principally to the presence of a high content of portlandite in the hydrated cements. Pozzolanic materials have, for decades, played an important role in improving the durability of cement-based materials. This work studies the behaviour of cement mortar matrices blended with 10% calcined paper sludge (source for metakaolin, MK) and exposed to different environmental conditions (marine and tableland environments). The results obtained using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray analyser techniques show that the ions present speed of different penetration as well as various phases and/compounds in the matrices following exposure over 1 year.
