This paper studies the effects of high-volume composite mineral admixture made of limestone powder and low-quality fly ash on the properties of concrete,and studies the form of attack of cement-based material made of limestone powder at low water-binder ratio under low-temperature sulfate environment.Through experiments, this paper makes clear the workability of fresh concrete and analyzes the law of strength development of concrete. The experimental results indicate that the concrete with high-volume limestone powder as composite mineral admixture has good fresh properties; due to low water consumption per unit volume, medium-and-high-strength concrete can be prepared. As new type concrete mineral admixture, the composite mineral admixture made of limestone powder and low-quality fly ash will play an active role in the sustainable development of concrete industry. After the specimen with the water-binder ratio of less than 0.4 and the limestone powder volume of greater than 20% is soaked in 10% magnesium sulfate solution at low temperature at the age of 200d, gypsum attack-led destruction is caused to the concrete test cube, without thaumasite sulfate attack.

The hydration degree of binders and cement is investigated by measuring the adiabatic- temperature rise of concrete at low water-binder ratio with different fly-ash content. The results denote that, with a constant water-binder ratio, both of the hydration degree of binders and that of cement decrease with the increasing fly-ash content in the early stage. In a later stage, however, the hydration degree of cement increases with the increasing fly-ash content and the hydration degree of binders peaks when the fly-ash content is 35%. Fly ash is one of the mineral admixture of which high-performance concrete is made up. It brings down the rise of concrete temperature significantly and helps solve the problems of shrinkage and crack of concrete structure. Because the hydration mechanism in common concrete is different from that in concrete with low water-binder ratio, and the hydration environment is different between concrete and cement pastes, to determine the adiabatic-temperature rise of concrete directly conforms to the actual situation. The adiabatic-temperature rise, adiabatic-temperature-rise rate, hydration degree of both binders and cement are investigated by measuring adiabatic-temperature rise of concrete with different fly-ash content.

A great deal of experiments have been carried out in this study to reveal the effect of the water-binder ratio and fly ash content on the workability and strengths of GHPC (green high performance concrete). The workability of GHPC was evaluated by slump and slump flow. The strengths include compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The results indicate that the increase of water-binder ratio can improve the workability of GHPC, however the strengths of GHPC were decreased with the increase of water-binder ratio. When the fly ash content is lower than 40%, the increase in fly ash content has positive effect on workability of GHPC, while the workability begins to decrease after the fly ash content is more than 40%. The addition of fly ash in GHPC has adverse effect on the strengths, and there is a tendency of decrease in the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of GHPC with the increase of fly ash content.

One-part or “just add water” geopolymer is a cementitious material, which is friendly to environment and users in applications. However, the mechanical behavior of the soft soil stabilized by one-part geopolymer is not well acknowledged. In this study, soft clay was stabilized with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash (FA)-based geopolymer, which is a mixture of solid aluminosilicate precursor (Al-Si raw materials: GGBFS and FA), solid alkali activator, and water. The objective was to adopt one-part geopolymer as an alternative soil binder to completely replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) for stabilizing the soft clay and evaluate the effect of the factors (i.e., GBFS/FA ratio in Al-Si precursor, activator/Al-Si precursor ratio, and water/binder ratio) that influenced the early strength. Results showed that the increase of the FA content in the Al-Si precursor increased the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) values significantly through the geopolymerization process. The highest UCS values were achieved with 90% GGBFS to 10% FA in the precursor when the activator/precursor and water/binder ratio is 0.15 and 0.7, respectively. The UCS values of geopolymer-stabilized clay could reach 1.5 MPa at 14 days at ambient temperature, which is much higher than that of OPC-stabilized clay. The microstructure and mineralogy analyses indicated that the prolific hydration products, such as calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), calcium aluminum hydrate (C-A-H), and calcium aluminum silicate hydrate (C-A-S-H), contributed greatly to strengthen the soft clay by forming the soil skeleton and infilling among clay particles, while sodium aluminosilicate (N-A-S-H) gel is only served to fill the part of porosities in the soil and cannot effectively enhance the UCS of the one-part geopolymer-stabilized soft clay. This paper results suggested that one-part GGBFS-FA–based geopolymers have the potential to replace OPC in the manufacture of stabilized soft clay.

The use of geopolymer binder as cement replacement material can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide gas produced during the Portland Cement manufacturing process. However, the main issue of geopolymer binder is in the mixing process of sodium silicate and NaOH which requires specialized knowledge and strict supervision. This paper reports the effect of water binder ratio on strength development of fly ash geopolymer mortar using dry geopolymer powder. Fly ash with high calcium content was used as primary material. The dry geopolymer powder was prepared by wet mixing method which was made by drying a mixture of NaOH solution and limestone for 24 hours. The variations of water to binder ratio were 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, and 0.50. Strength properties were measured by compressive strength at the age of 7, 14 and 28 days. The results showed that the water binder ratio significantly affect the strength development of geopolymer mortar prepared by dry geopolymer powder. The water binder ratio of 0.40 gives the highest compressive strength of 10.3 MPa at 28 days. This suggests that the use of dry geopolymer powder on geopolymer mortar production can overcome the difficulties of geopolymer mortar mixing on site.

In order to increase freeze-salt scaling resistance of concrete, effect of water-binder ratio, fly ash, slag and silica fume on freeze-salt scaling resistance are researched according to the CDF method. The results show that the scaled mass and the dynamic modulus of elasticity loss rate of the concrete are reduced with decreasement of water-binder ratio. When mineral admixture compound is added into concrete the scaled mass and the dynamic modulus of elasticity loss rate are also reduced. Compared with fly ash and slag the trend is more obvious as result of fume and slag added. The scaled mass and the loss rate of dynamic elasticity modulus are slightly reduced with decreasement of fly ash and slag. But the scaled mass and the loss rate of dynamic elasticity modulus are obviously reduced with increasement of silica fume and slag.
