Mechnical Strength And Durability Of Alkali-Activated Fly Ash/Slag Concrete, Maochieh Chi

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

This study investigated the mechanical strength and durability of alkali-activated binders composed of blends of fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag. Five samples with FA/slag ratios of 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, and 0/100 by mass were employed to prepare alkali-activated FA/slag (AAFS) concrete. Sodium oxide (Na2O) concentrations of 6% and 8% of binder weight and activator modulus ratios (mass ratio of SiO2 to Na2O) of 0.8, 1.0, and 1.23 were used to prepare alkaline activators. Test results revealed that higher slag contents, Na2O concentrations, and activator modulus ratios increased the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of …
