The chemical shrinkages of alkali-activated slag cement (AASC), and the effect of fly ash, MgO burnt at 900°C and the curing solutions were studied. The shrinkages were compared with that of ordinary portland cement (OPC). The results show that the chemical shrinkage of AASC is lower than that of OPC. Adding fly ash and light-burnt MgO reduced the early age chemical shrinkage, while the shrinkage-reduction effect decreased with the age. The alkality of the curing solution has significant effect on the hydration and shrinkage of AASC. The chemical shrinkage of AASC increased with the alkali concentration of the curing solution. The mechanisms of fly ash, MgO and curing solution on the shrinkage were discussed.

Many calorimetric studies have been carried out to investigate the reaction process of alkali-activated slag paste. However, the origin of the induction period and action mechanism of soluble Si in the dissolution of slag are still not clear. Moreover, the mechanisms behind different reaction periods are not well described. In this study, the reaction kinetics of alkali-activated slag paste was monitored by isothermal calorimetry and the effect of soluble Si was investigated through a dissolution test. The results showed that occurrence of the induction period in hydration of alkali-activated slag paste depended on the presence of soluble Si in alkaline activator and the soluble Si slowed down the dissolution of slag. A dissolution theory-based mechanism was introduced and applied to the dissolution of slag, showing good interpretation of the action mechanism of soluble Si. With this dissolution theory-based mechanism, origin of the induction period in hydration of alkali-activated slag was explicitly interpreted.
