Description
Summary:Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are promising materials that can be used as alternatives for conventional Portland cement (PC) materials. In this paper, the fresh properties, and mechanical properties of AAMs made with glass powder (GP) as the precursor were explored and discussed. The discussions presented in this paper showed that the incorporation of GP as the precursor in AAMs resulted in an improvement in the workability and extension of the set times. However, the use of GP especially at early ages could result in a detrimental impact on the mechanical performance of AAMs due to the lower reactivity of GP compared to other precursors. Nonetheless, AAMs with acceptable mechanical performance for non-structural and structural applications can still be produced with the use of GP as the precursor.
