This paper examines the effects of the mixture ratio of fly ash/slag, the type of alkaline activators and curing conditions on the workability, compressive strength and microstructure of cementless alkali-activated mortar. The investigation showed that the mixture ratio of fly ash/slag and the type of alkaline activator have significant influence on the workability and strength, whereas the curing temperature has relatively poor effect. An alkali-activated mortar using a binder composed of 50% of fly ash and 50% of granulated blast furnace slag and alkaline activator made of 9M NaOH and sodium silicate in proportion of 1:1 is seen to be able to develop a compressive strength of 65 MPa at age of 28 days even when cured at ambient temperature of 20°C.

Mortar salah satu material yang memiliki manfaat yang beraneka ragam dalam konstruksi bangunan.  Sejauh ini, mortar konvensional digunakan sebagai bahan plester atau coating pada bangunan. Bahan pengikat utama mortar pada dasarnya masih mengandalkan semen. Pemanfaatan Batu bara pada pembangkit listrik tenaga uap masih menjadi salah satu arus utama sebagai pendukung kebutuhan energi listrik. Penumpukan hasil sisa pembakaran batu bara seperti fly ash dan bottom ash berpotensi mengganggu stabilitas Ekosistem lingkungan. Alkali-Activated mortar dengan mengandalkan larutan alkali activator yang direaksikan dengan material pozzolanic seperti fly ash, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS), Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA)ldan lain-lain dapat menjadi salah satu solusi dalam mengurangi limbah fly-ash yang menumpuk. Dalam beberapa riset riset terdahulu idealnya kontrol mutu dari Alkali Activated mortar dapat ditinjiau pada kekuatan mekanisnya seperti kuat tekan dan lentur Dalam artikel ini akan ditinjau bagaimana kekuatan mekanis pada beberapa jenis Alkali-Activated Mortar. Dari studi-studi yang akan dibahas tersebut akan ditarik sebuah kesimpulan berdasarkan data-data pengujian mekanis yan pada akhirnya dapat memberi rekomendasi tentang bagaimana performa mekanis pada Alkali-Activated mortar.

Alkali-activated binders (AABs) are developed through the activation of aluminosilicate-rich materials using alkaline reagents. The characteristics of AABs developed using a novel dry-mixing technique incorporating powder-based reagents/activators are extensively explored. A total of forty-four binder mixes are assessed in terms of their fresh and hardened state properties. The influence of mono/binary/ternary combinations of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)/precursors and different types/combinations/dosages of powder-based reagents on the strength and workability properties of different binder mixes are assessed to determine the optimum composition of precursors and the reagents. The binary (55% fly ash class C and 45% ground granulated blast furnace slag) and ternary (25% fly ash class C, 35% fly ash class F and 40% ground granulated blast furnace slag) binders with reagent-2 (calcium hydroxide and sodium sulfate = 2.5:1) exhibited desired workability and 28-day compressive strengths of 56 and 52 MPa, respectively. Microstructural analyses (in terms of SEM/EDS and XRD) revealed the formation of additional calcium aluminosilicate hydrate with sodium or mixed Ca/Na compounds in binary and ternary binders incorporating reagent-2, resulting in higher compressive strength. This research confirms the potential of producing powder-based cement-free green AABs incorporating binary/ternary combinations of SCMs having the desired fresh and hardened state properties under ambient curing conditions.
