| Summary: | The alkali activation of mortar blends containing Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Fly Ash, with activation based on sodium metasilicate, is investigated in this study. Two series are investigated, and compressive strength is measured. The results of the first series show that the compressive strength decreases considerably with a decrease in the slag and fly ash ratio. The 3-day compressive strength of mortar cured at the temperature of 100°C increases slightly up to the ratio of 60/40, but decreases considerably at the 40/60 ratio. |
