The application of recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) has become increasingly popular for different types of structures, as presented in several studies. However, depending on the type of structure and the region, RCAs might have different properties. This study aims to investigate the application of RCAs of different origins for substructure layers of the cycle paths located in Central Europe, which was not analysed previously.

This article is motivated by civil fire safety. Fire-prevention engineering demands a wide range of information about building materials including alternative cements, for instance CSA-cement. Because of exposure of the cement-base material to a high temperature, its strength properties deteriorate due to dehydration connected with phase and microstructure changes.

This paper presents the research data of the fire-temperature influence on Portland CEM I (OPC) and calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) types of cement blend composites as cooling materials dedicated for infill and covers in fire systems. The data present the material responses for four types at high-temperature elevation times (0, 15, 30, 60 min), such as core heat curves, differences in specimens color, flexural and compressive strength parameters. Materials were tested using the DSC method to collect information about enthalpies.
