“…The following sections are thus focused on the characterization of various aspects of NC-activated GGBS and the effects of the accelerators such as NH and CH. The main binding phase C-(A)-S-H reflected at approximately 30° (2θ) (Rashad et al, 2016;Lopez and Garcia, 2016) was found in all specimens throughout the all XRD measurements. This characteristic peak overlapped with the strong peak for calcite at the same position (Kovtun et al, 2015;Puertas and Carrasco, 2014).…”

This paper presents the study of alkali activated slags where sodium carbonate acts as a primary activator. The slow activation mechanism of sodium carbonate is accelerated by sodium hydroxide and with traces of calcium hydroxide. Strength development and the progress of hydration of the mixes are studied with the phase transformation and development of microstructural features through quantitative techniques such as thermogravimetric analysis and phase-identification techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Sodium carbonate replacement with sodium hydroxide and the presence of calcium hydroxide in the binder as a replacement of the slag enhances the rate of dissolution of slag leading to a faster strength development. Calcium hydroxide is significantly increased the compressive strength even at early age. On the other hand, sodium hydroxide substitution is effective at later ages of the reaction when used at high dosages (e.g. 40%). Formation of strength giving phases such as hydrotalcite and calcium aluminum silicate hydrate are confirmed with the microstructure analysis and explains the strength development.

The Strength Properties of Alkali-Activated Cement with Blended Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag

“…A direct relationship has been observed between drying shrinkage and pore structures [20], with finer pore size distribution resulting in increased drying shrinkage while improving the compressive strength [21,22]. The silicate modulus and alkali content have been found to be the main parameters for the properties of the slag activated by water glass [23][24][25]. The optimum silicate modulus and sodium concentration in terms of fresh and hardened properties of AAS are due to the excess alkali being unable to fully react with the slag [26].…”

Use of Industrial Waste Slag in Alkali-Activated Slag Ceramsite Concrete Hollow Blocks

In this paper, a parametric experimental study developing the alkali-activated slag concrete hollow block (AASCHB) is discussed. Fourteen trial mixes of alkali-activated slag concrete containing pottery sand and ceramsite with different water-to-slag ratios, sand ratios, silicate moduli, and Na2O contents were evaluated to determine the optimal mix for high compressive strength and low drying shrinkage. All four factors evaluated were found to be significant for the desired properties. A series of 390 × 190 × 190 mm3 AASCHBs were prepared using the optimal mix with a water-to-slag ratio of 0.35, sand ratio of 0.64, silicate modulus of 1.2, and Na2O content of 8%. The compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption, and moisture content tests of these blocks indicate that the resulting AASCHB can be classified under the strength grade of MU15 as a load-bearing hollow concrete block. The proposed AASCHBs appear to provide a viable solution to the environmental problems of industrial waste and cement production emissions, leading to more sustainable buildings without compromising structural performance.
