AbstractThe advantage of utilizing blended cements for many applications has been well documented. However, the use of these materials has been limited by the longer setting times associated with the use of these materials. This report discusses the development of formulations employing alkali activation to shorten the setting times. The results of characterization of these materials using calorimetry, microscopic, x-ray diffraction, and mechanical property techniques are discussed.
