Abstract
In the construction industry, due to the cost rise of raw material for concrete, we have looked into recycling by-products which came from foundry. When using the Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag(SG), it is good for enhancing the qualities of concrete such as reducing hydration heat, increasing fluidity, long-term strength and durability, but it has some problems : construction time is increased or the rotation rate of form is decreased due to low development of early strength. In this study, therefore, to enhance the early strength of SG mortar, we used some alkali activators(KOH, NaOH, $Na_2CO_3$, $Na_2SO_4$, water glass, $Ca(OH)_2$, alum. This paper deals with reacted products, setting time, heat evolution rate, flow and the strength development of SG cement mortar activated by alkali activators. From the results, if alkali activators were selected and added properly, SG is good for using as the materials of mortar and concrete.
