Strength and Drying Shrinkage of Alkali-Activated Slag Paste and Mortar

Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the strengths and drying shrinkage of alkali-activated slag paste and mortar. Compressive strength, tensile strength, and drying shrinkage of alkali-activated slag paste and mortar were measured with various liquid/slag ratios, sand/slag ratios, curing ages, and curing temperatures. Experimental results show that the higher compressive strength and tensile strength have been observed in the higher curing temperature. At the age of 56 days, AAS mortars show higher compres… Show more

“…Optimization of the silicate modulus (1.2) and Na 2 O (8%) content gave AAS mortars with pottery sand that exhibited impressive maximal compressive strength levels of 93 and 123.2 MPa after 1 d and 28 d, respectively. ese compressive strength values compare favorably with those reported previously for mortars prepared from limestone and river sand aggregates, both of which gave lower values of ≤85 MPa at 28 d [3,25]. e relatively high drying shrinkage levels observed for the mortars were also impressive, which is likely to be due to the fine capillary nature of their mesoporous microstructures [26].…”

“…It has been reported in many studies that silicate modulus (Ms: SiO 2 /Na 2 O) of 1.0-1.5 and Na 2 O to slag ratio of 4 % were appropriate to ensure an appropriate compressive strength of AAS paste (Wang and Scrivener 1995). Therefore, in the present study, the silicate modulus was chosen to be 1.2 and controlled by an addition of sodium hydroxide and water (Ravikumar and Neithalath 2013;Chi et al 2012). The Na 2 O/slag was fixed at 4 % for all the alkali activators.…”

“…Few researchers [12,[79][80][81] reported a lower drying shrinkage of AA FA binders in comparison with OPC binders while others reported a higher drying shrinkage of AAS binder than OPC binder [82][83][84][85]. However, the scientific reasoning behind the high drying shrinkage behaviour of AAS is still unknown.…”
