Abstract

This paper studies the effect of the compressive strength for combined alkali-activated slag mortars. The effect of activators such as alkali type and dosage factor on the strength was investigated. The alkalis combinations made using five caustic alkalis (sodium hydroxide (NaOH, A series), calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$, B series), magnesium hydroxide ($Mg(OH)_2$, C series), aluminum hydroxide ($Al(OH)_3$, D series), and potassium hydroxide (KOH, E series)) with sodium carbonate ($Na_2CO_3$) were evaluated. The mixtures were combined in different dosage at 1M, 2M, and 3M. The study results showed that the compressive strength of combined alkali-activated slag mortars tended to increase with increasing sodium carbonate. The strength of combined alkali-activated slag mortars was better than that of control cases (without sodium carbonate). The result from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed that there were reaction products of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and alumina-silicate gels from combined alkali-activated slag specimens.

이 연구는 혼합 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 모르타르의 압축강도에 미치는 영향에 관한 것이다. 활성화제의 효과는 활성화제의 종류, 농도 등이 강도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져있다. 혼합 활성화제는 5가지 가소성 알칼리(수산화나트륨, 수산화칼슘, 수산화마그네슘, 수산화알루미늄, 수산화칼륨)와 탄산나트륨($Na_2CO_3$)를 혼합하였다. 배함은 각 활성화제를 1M, 2M, 그리고 3M의 서로 다른 농도로 하였다. 압축강도 결과는 혼합 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 모르타르는 탄산나트륨의 농도가 증가하면 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 혼합 활성화제를 사용한 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 모르타르는 모든 재령과 시험체가 탄산나트륨을 혼합하지 않은 컨트롤 케이스보다 향상된 강도를 나타내었다. 전자주사현미경(SEM) 관찰 결과 활성화 반응으로 C-S-H와 aluminusilicate gel이 생성된 것을 볼 수 있었다.
