Alkali activated slag (AAS) offers opportunities to the construction industry as an alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The production of OPC and its use contributes significantly to release of CO2 into the atmosphere while AAS is an industrial by-product that contributes much less to the environmental footprint that needs to be recycled if not landfilled. This paper outlines some of the key properties, merits and demerits of AAS when used as alternative to OPC. Competitive compressive strength of AAS concrete is amongst of the advantages of replacing cement with AAS while high shrinkage and carbonation levels are potential disadvantages.

Properties of alkali-activated slag cements compounded with soluble glasse with a high silicate modulus Ms=2.6 were detailedly studied in this paper, including compressive strength and flexure strength characterictics at the ages of 3,7,28 days and flow values of fresh cement mixtures on a jolting table. As a result, with the compressive strength at the age of 28 days of 95.6-107.8 MPa has been developed, and the flow values and strength characteristics of alkali-activated slag cement mortars increased with increase in a water to cement (alkaline activator solution to slag) ratio, and the flow value (determined on the cement mortar mixtures) would reach 145 mm. Moreover, the development speed of strength characteristics of mortar specimens would be affected negatively by increasing of water demand (requirement).
