This paper presents the results of concretes manufactured with supersulfated cement (SSC) based on volcanic materials. The concretes were cured under two regimes, one for 24 h at 25 °C and another for 22 h at 60 °C and then at 25 °C. The specimens were exposed to two conditions: dry laboratory conditions and immersed in a solution with 3.5% CaSO4 at 25 °C for up to 180 days. After 180 days, the concrete with a cementitious compound of 5%An-10%PC-10%CaO-75%PM reached a compressive strength of 46 MPa exposed to CaSO4 solution and of 44 MPa in dry laboratory conditions. The microstructure was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, which showed that the main hydration products are C-S-H and ettringite.
