This research examines an alternative binder, Alkali Activated Cement (AAC), examining the fresh and hardened mechanical properties of twelve AAC mortar mixes with varying mixture proportions of blast-furnace slag, fly ash, sodium silicate (the alkali activator), and additional water. In addition to the Slag-Fly Ash mortars, nine mixtures with blast-furnace slag, silica fume, aluminum hydrate, sodium silicate, and water were tested. For all mortars, the compressive strength was exponentially related to the water/activator-solids ratio. Mortar strengths at 28 days ranged from 5 MPa to 20 MPa. Increasing the slag to binder-solids ratio from 0.1 to 0.2 increased the strength with water to binder ratios from 0.2 to 0.4. However, rapid or almost instantaneous setting times were observed for a slag to binder-solids ratio of 0.2. The research concluded that using a carefully chosen mix design can prevent quick setting while still achieving high strength and acceptable workability. It is suggested the CaO to binder-solids ratio remain below 0.07; a sodium silicate to binder solids ratio of around 0.25 is optimal; a water to binder-solids ratio should be around 0.3. When replacing fly ash, a Si/Al ratio above 2 is recommended. This research concluded that other solids (Silica Fume and Aluminum Hydrate) could replace Slag and/or Fly Ash if the overall chemical balance of the system is maintained.

This paper reports an investigation in which the performance of fly ash, blast furnace slag and silica fume high strength concretes were studied under 7 and 28 curing days. Three high strength concrete mixtures were made in this investigation. Mixtures containing 25% fly ash, 25% fly ash and 25% blast furnace slag, and 5% silica fume as cement replacement, respectively. The water-binder ratio of all the high strength concrete mixtures was kept constant at 0.34. The replacement of silica fume in the high strength concrete mixtures indicated higher value of the compressive strength, splitting tensile and modulus of elasticity. In addition, blast furnace slag is effective for strength and modulus of elasticity improvement between 7 to 28 curing days.

In recent years, sustainability and environmental effect of concrete became the main concern. Substituting cement with the other cementitious material without decreasing mechanical properties of a mixture could save energy, reduce greenhouse effect due to mining, calcination and limestone refining. Therefore, some industrial by-products such as fly ash, silica fume, and Ground Iron Blast Furnace Slag (GIBFS) would be used in this study to substitute cement and aggregate. This substitution would be applied on the porous concrete mixture to minimize the environmental effect. Slag performance will be optimized by trying out variations of fly ash, silica fume, and slag as cement substitution material in mortar mixture. The result is narrowed into two types of substitution. First, reviewed from the fly ash substitution effect on binder material, highest compressive strength 16.2 MPa was obtained from mixture composition 6% fly ash, 3% silica fume and 17% grinding granular blast-furnace slag. Second, reviewed from slag types as cement substitution and silica fume substitution, highest compressive strength 15.2 MPa was obtained from mortar specimens with air-cooled blast furnace slag. It composed with binder material 56% Portland composite cement, 15% fly ash, 3% silica fume and 26% air-cooled blast furnace slag. Considering the cement substitution, the latter mixture was chosen.

Pre-stressed high-strength concrete piles (PHCP) are widely used in the building industry in China. The main aim of our research was to investigate the utilization of quartz powder, fly ash, and blast furnace slag as mineral additives to prepare PHCP mortar. The samples were prepared using steam and autoclaving steaming. The influence of minerals on the sulfate resistance of mortar was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) tests. The results showed that when compared to single doped quartz powder samples, samples prepared using fly ash or blast furnace slag improved the sulfate resistance of the PHCP mortar. Furthermore, the resistance to sulfate attack of samples with dual doped quartz powder, fly ash, and blast furnace slag also improved. MIP tests showed that mineral additives can change the pore size distribution after autoclave curing. However, the number of aching holes increased after mixing with 20% quartz powder and caused a decrease in the sulfate resistance.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity characteristics of high performance concrete. These tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of HPC for up to 7 and 28 days. Mixtures were prepared with water to binder ratio of 0.40. Two mixtures were containing fly ash at 25%, silica fume at 5% cement replacement, respectively. Another mixture was contains blast furnace slag and fly ash at 25%. Three standard 100¥a200 cylinder specimens were prepared. HPC showed improvement in the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength when ordinary Portland cement was replaced with silica fume. Compare with specimens FA25 and BS25FA25, specimen SF5 showed much more modulus of elasticity. It shows that the use of the blast furnace slag of 25% and fly ash of 25% cement replacement has caused a small increase in compressive strength and splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity compared to the only use of fly ash of 25% at 28days. The results indicated that the use of blast furnace slag or silica fume provided the good performance compare to fly ash when the mechanical properties of the high performance concretes were taken into account.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes preliminary a model for the strength of concretes containing industrial by-products such as fly ash, blast-furnace slag, and silica fume. A formula that describes the various strength production mechanisms of these by-products is developed. These materials produce strength by pozzolanic reaction, by latently hydraulic reactions and by self-cementing reactions similar to Portland cement. A method of separating the effect of each mechanism is proposed. A parameter for each of these strength producing mechanisms can be determined from concrete strength data.

In this study, concrete prisms were made with three mineral admixtures: fly ash, blast furnace slag or silica fume and with three water-to-binder ratios(w/b). Chloride penetration was measured by the rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT)-ASTM C1202, 150-days ponding test and alternate wetting and drying test by cyclic loading with salt solution and oven drying, and the results by the three test methods were compared. This paper discussed the effects of mineral admixtures and w/b on the concrete chloride permeability. Blending concrete with blast furnace slag, fly ash or silica fume was beneficial with regard to the resistance against chloride ion penetration. Concrete specimens with lower w/b showed lower chloride permeability.

Alkali Activated

Deformations of alkali-activated slag concrete (AASC) with high MgO and Al2O3 content, subjected to variable curing temperature were studied. Sodium silicate and sodium carbonate were used as alkali activators. The obtained results showed development of deformations consisting of both shrinkage and expansion. Shrinkage appeared not to be affected by the activator type, while the expansion developed after the cooling down phase in stabilized isothermal conditions and did not stop within the duration of the tests. X-ray diffraction analysis performed shortly after the cooling down phase indicated the formation of crystalline hydrotalcite, which was associated with the observed expansion. A mixture with a higher amount of sodium silicate showed less expansion, likely due to the accelerated hydration and geopolymerization leading to the increased stiffness of the binder matrix.

The utilisation of pozzolanic materials as the replacement to conventional cement material have the potentiality to mitigate the pollution caused by the émission of carbon based green house gases which are a main source for global warming problem. For every production of 1 ton of cement it was approximated that the emission of carbon based green house gases are about 1 ton. Keeping this in view, a new material called Geopolymer which was first coined by Davidovits has gained a lot of interest by the researchers. In this study, different molarity variations of NaOH in the order of 4M, 6M, 8M, 10M, 12M and 14M and also the blending of  mineral admixtures like Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag with percentages (50%+50%) and the mechanical properties of normal M30 and high strength grade M70 binary blended Geopolymer concrete were studied after 28 days of ambient curing and were reported. The test results revealed that the effect of molar concentration of NaOH at 12 M is effective and the optimum replacement of mineral composition of source materials is (50%+50%) fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag.
