High Strength Alkali Activated Slag Cements with Controlled Setting Times and Early Strength Gain

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper discusses approaches to compositional build-up of high strength alkali activated cements made using water glass as alkaline activator represented by commercial products in a form of powder and liquid. The purpose was to study the influence of fineness of ground granulated blast-furnace slags, admixtures and additives, compatible with alkali activated cements, water glass and mode of manufacturing technology in order to reach high compressive strength (≥ 80 MPa at standard age (28 days)) and early strength (≥ 20 MPa after 3 h of hardening in normal conditions).
