摘要
In the present work, the relationship between the composition of the SiO2-Al2O3-CaO precursor system and the setting time, microstructure and mechanical properties of the resulting alkali-activated cement (AAC) were investigated. The results showed that with the increase of metakaolin content and the modulus of activator solution, setting time of alkali-activated cements was prolonged. The compressive strength increased with the increase of CaO content to a certain extent, but had different trends as Si/Al ratio varied. Microstructural analyses revealed that CaO content had remarkable effects on the microstructure of AAC. In calcium-free system, the strength was dependent on the three-dimensional structure of N-A-S-H gels. As the CaO content increased gradually, the main activation product changed from N-A-S-H to C-(A)-S-H gel, resulting in a more compact structure. This investigation helps to build up a practical approach for the composition design of alkali-activated cements.
