Effect of Dosage and Modulus of Water Glass on AC Impedance Properties of Alkali-Activated Slag Cement Mortar

Article Preview

Abstract:

Compressive strength and AC impedance of mortar made with water-glass-activated slag were investigated as a dependence of modulus (0.5-2.0) and dosage (2-6%) of the water-glass. Results shown that when the dosage of water glass is 2- 4 %, the modulus of the water glass has a little effect on the compressive strength. In the case of the dosage of water glass is beyond 4 %, when modulus of the water glass change from 0.5-1.0, the compressive strength obviously increases with increase of modulus of water glass and when modulus of the water glass change from 1.0-2.0, the modulus of the water glass has a little effect on the compressive strength. The strength increases with increase of the dosage from 2 to 6%. In the case same dosage and modulus, there is a rather good power correlation between the bulk resistance and the activated age. With increase of the dosage, the bulk resistance significantly decreases when the dosage is below 4%. The decreasing degree is small when the dosage is beyond 4%. The decreasing degree derived from the dosage increases with the activated age. The effect of the modulus on the bulk resistance depends on range of the dosage. However, it can be regarded that when the dosage is 4% and 6%, the modulus has small effect on the bulk resistance in the case of all the dosages.
