In this study, the different proportions of co-fired fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag were used to fully replace the cement as non-cement blended materials in a fixed water-cement ratio. The recycled fine aggregates were replaced with natural fine aggregates as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. The flowability, compressive strength, water absorption and scanning electron microscope observations were used as the engineered indices by adding different proportions of recycled fine aggregates. The test results indicated that the fluidity cannot be measured normally due to the increase in the proportion of recycled fine aggregates due to its higher absorbability. In the compressive strength test, the compressive strength decreased accordingly as the recycled fine aggregates increased due to the interface structure and the performance of recycled aggregates. The fine aggregates and other blended materials had poor cementation properties, resulting in a tendency for their compressive strength to decrease. However, the compressive strength can be controlled above 35 MPa of the green non-cement blended materials containing 20% recycled aggregates.

The effects of simultaneous use of recycled aggregates and ground blast furnace slag as a percentage of cement-constituting materials on different properties of fresh self-compacting concrete (SCC) are investigated in this study. To this end, three series of SCC mixtures with a fixed volume of cement paste equalling 380 ltr/m3 (2.36 gal/ft3) and the replacement ratio of coarse aggregates (fifty percent and one hundred percent) and total aggregates (zero percent, fifty percent and one hundred percent) were prepared. The water content ratios in the first, second and third series were 0.4, 0.45, and 0.5, respectively. The results of the compressive strength tests for 7-day, 14-day and 28-day cubic specimens and compressive strength and Brazilian test results for 28-day cylindrical specimens were used as control parameters governing the SCC resistive quality. The results of fresh SCC tests (including slump-flow and T50 tests, V-funnel test, and L-box test) showed that the negative effect of recycled fine aggregates on fresh SCC properties is significantly more than that of recycled coarse aggregate. However, recycled SCC with acceptable properties can be obtained with a slight increase in the amount of superplasticisers used in the presence of slag.

This article presents the influence of the properties of the materials in the geopolymeric mixture, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) + wheat straw ash (WSA) + uncalcined red mud (RMu), and ground granulated blast furnace slag + wheat straw ash + calcined red mud (RMc), over the microstructure and mechanical properties of the synthesised geopolymers. The activation solutions used were a NaOH solution with 8M concentration, and a solution realised from 50%wt NaOH and 50%wt Na2SiO3. The samples were analysed: from the microstructural point of view through SEM microscopy; the chemical composition was determined through EDX analysis; and the compressive strength tests was done for samples tested at 7 and 28 days, respectively. The SEM micrographies of the geopolymers have highlighted a complex structure and an variable compressive strength. Compressive strength varied from 24 MPa in the case of the same recipe obtained from 70% of GGBFS + 25% WSA +5% RMu, alkaline activated with NaOH 8M (7 days testing) to 85 MPa in the case of the recipe but replacing RMu with RMc with calcined red mud, alkaline activated with the 50%wt NaOH and 50%wt Na2SiO3 solution (28 days testing). This variation in the sense of the rise in compressive strength can be attributed to the difference in reactivity of the materials used in the recipes, the curing period, the geopolymers structure, and the presence of a lower or higher rate of pores, as well as the alkalinity and the nature of the activation solutions used.

Uniaxial Compressive Strength Test

The compressive strength test is one of the technical properties or compressive strength tests that are commonly used in rock mechanics to determine the collapse point or the elasticity of rock against maximum pressure. The rock collapse point is a measure of the strength of the rock itself when the rock is no longer able to maintain its elastic properties. The purpose of this test is to find out how long the rock maintains its strength or elasticity properties when pressure is applied, and to find out the difference between the strength of compact rock and rock that has fractures when pressure is applied. Rocks that have fractures will break more easily or quickly when pressure is applied compared to compact rocks. This analysis is carried out by comparing the rock strength of each sample, both those that have fractures and compact rocks. To find out these differences, laboratory testing was carried out. The test results show the value (compressive strength test 57.76 MPa), (elastic modulus 5250.000MPa), (Poisson ratio 0.05) and the average value of rock mechanical properties test (axial 0.91), (lateral-0.279), and (volumetric 0.252) . Based on the test results above, it shows that rocks that have fractures will break more easily when pressure is applied, compared to compact rocks that have a long time in the uniaxial compressive strength test.

This paper aims to investigate the influence of alkaline activators solution i.e, Na2SiO3 / NaOH on compressive strength of geopolymer concrete mixed with Ground Granulated Blast furnace slag (GGBS) for constant molarity 8 M. The ratio of alkali to binder ratio is taken as 0.5 and the ratio of Na2SiO3 / NaOH is 2.5. The geopolymer mix is based on pervious sutdies. As per Indian standard size moulds for the cube, cylinder and prism are cast, cured and tested.The specimens were tested for fresh concrete properties such as slump cone test and hardened properties such as compressive strength for cubes, split tensile strength for cylinders and flexural strength for prism different days of curing under ambient temperature. Also, a microstructural study is done by using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) for the tested sample. It is found from the test results that, with the aid of alumino-silicate solution, early strength is achieved by geopolymer concrete within 7 days under ambient condition due to the presence of ground granulated slag.

 In this study, the properties of concrete with different amounts of Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBFS) has been studied. In another part, the test deals to assess the properties of concrete containing GGBFS with micro-SiO2. The results show that the slag has pozzolan properties and its use up to 20% in the concrete, has no harmful effect on concrete properties. The simultaneous use of micro-SiO2 with blast furnace slag have little effect, as well as micro-SiO2 covers the defects caused by the use of slag. The results indicate that the use of micro-SiO2 and slag has good effects on the strength of concrete up to a certain age, so that its compressive strength is increased. Water-cement ratio was 0.42 and 12.5 mm for maximum size of aggregate and cement content in concrete was 425 kg per cubic meter. Compressive strength of concrete samples was measured at ages 7, 28, 56 and 90-day and flexural and tensile strength and water absorption after 28-day and 90 days also was measured.

Functionality of mortar and concrete mixes is regulated by surfactants, which act as plasticizers. The molecular structure of these admixtures can be changed during hydration of alkali-activated cements (AAC). The objective was to determine the chemical nature of plasticizers effective for property modification of mortars and concretes based on AACs with changing content of granulated blast furnace slag from 0 to 100 %. The admixtures without ester links become more effective than polyesters when content of alkaline component increase. The admixtures effective in high alkaline medium were used in dry mixes for anchoring (consistency of mortar 150 mm by Vicat cone; 1 d tensile strength in bending / compressive strength of mortar 6.6 /30.6 MPa) and in ready-mixed concretes (consistency class changed from S1 to S3, S4 with consistency safety during 60 min; 3 d compressive strength of modified concrete was not less than the reference one without admixtures).
