Alkali-Activated Matrix Based on Metakaoline with Lightweight Aggregate

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper focuses on design and verification of mix-design of lightweight concrete with alkali-activated matrix with lightweight aggregate Liapor. Alkali-activated matrix was designed on the basis of ground metakaoline and micronized limestone. Mixes of concrete with alkali-activated matrix and lightweight porous aggregate Liapor of size fraction 8 mm were designed and their rheological and physico-mechanical properties were tested. To reduce shrinkage and to increase resistance to high temperatures, dispersed polypropylene fiber reinforcement was used and testing specimens made from this concrete with alkali-activated matrix were exposed to thermal load and tested.
