Engineering properties of alkali-activated composites
Result description
The talk will be mainly focused on the alkali activated fly ash composites. A quantitative model of phase evolution during fly ash activation is introduced together with a descriptive micromechanical model aiming at elasticity evolution during N-A-S-H gel hardening. The elasticity of alkali activated composites is predicted via multiscale homogenization using intrinsic elastic properties of particular phases and evolving volume fractions of the phases. The Young?s modulus is calculated and validated foralkali activated fly ash paste and concrete. Since a solution of NaOH is usually used as an affordable alkali activator, the role of sodium cations in the N-A-S-H gel is examined. Leaching experiments proved almost full leachability of sodium from the N-A-S-H gel, which points to a weak alkali bond of the sodium cations in the gel.
