Properties of Alkli-Activated Slag Cement Compounded with Soluble Glasses with a High Silicate Modulus

Abstract:

Properties of alkali-activated slag cements compounded with soluble glasse with a high silicate modulus Ms=2.6 were detailedly studied in this paper, including compressive strength and flexure strength characterictics at the ages of 3,7,28 days and flow values of fresh cement mixtures on a jolting table. As a result, with the compressive strength at the age of 28 days of 95.6-107.8 MPa has been developed, and the flow values and strength characteristics of alkali-activated slag cement mortars increased with increase in a water to cement (alkaline activator solution to slag) ratio, and the flow value (determined on the cement mortar mixtures) would reach 145 mm. Moreover, the development speed of strength characteristics of mortar specimens would be affected negatively by increasing of water demand (requirement).
