Experimental Investigations on Alkali-Activated Slag Cementitious Material

Abstract:

These are many factors that can influence the properties of alkali-activated slag cementitious material, such as the modulus and content of water glass, water-cement ratio, curing conditions, and so forth. The rules that how these factors affect setting time and strength of the material are systematically discussed in the paper. It is found that the setting time of the material depends on the concentration of alkaline ions in solution; The material will have the best strength when the modulus and content of water glass are 1.4 and 8%, respectively. The curing temperature increase will be helpful to compressive strength increase.
