Mechanical Behavior and Frost-Resistance of Alkali-Activated Cement Concrete with Blended Binder at Ambient Curing Condition

PROPERTIES OF ALKALI-ACTIVATED FLY ASH CONCRETE BLENDED WITH SLAG

Mechanical Behaviour of Geopolymer Concrete under Ambient Curing

Utilisation of fly ash and Ground Granulated Blast Slag as an alternative material in concrete reduces the use of OPC in concrete. Evolution of geopolymer concrete cured at ambient temperature broadens its suitability and applicability to concrete based structures. This paper presents the mix proportions and outcome of an experimental study on the density and compressive strength of geopolymer ...

An Investigation of Coarse Aggregate, Water-Cement Ratio, and Silika Fume on Frost Resistance of HS Concrete

It is well known that the characteristics of concrete components greatly affect the durability of high strength/high performance (HS/HP) concrete against frost action. Undoubtedly, precise recognition of this relationship leads &#10to appropriate selection of the type and proportions of concrete components in any particular project. In the current study, the aim is to investigate the possibilit...

Internal Curing of High-Performance Blended Cement Mortars:

In the twenty-first century, most high-performance concretes, and many other ordinary concretes, are now based on blended cements that contain silica fume, slag, and/or fly ash additions. Because the chemical shrinkage accompanying the pozzolanic and hydraulic reactions of these mineral admixtures is generally much greater than that accompanying conventional portland cement hydration, these ble...
