ABSTRACTAn investigation on composite geopolymeric binders, based on alkali activated fly ash (PFA) substituted with low-alumina calcium aluminate cement (CAC), was carried out using a Factorial experimental design in which the factors and levels were: %Na2O, 8-12%; modulus of the solution Ms=SiO2/Na2O =0 - 2, 10-30 wt% of CAC and fineness of PFA (D90) from 161.8 to 6.46 microns. The contribution of each factor was estimated with the 28-day compressive strength as the response variable. The curing temperature was 24h@60°C, and then at 20°C until mechanical testing. The specimens were also characterized by XRD and SEM. The results showed that the grinding modified the morphology of the PFA without changing the crystallographic or chemical characteristics as detected by XRD; and improved the mechanical properties of the geopolymers. The strength increased notably with the Ms up to 1, and reduced for Ms >1; the strength increased with the %Na2O and %CAC. Electron microscopy showed a higher densification at smaller PFA particle size, and the CAC addition promoted the formation of zeolite and Na2O-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O products.
