โฆ Synopsis
Early age activation of granulated blast-furnace slag (BFS) and blends of slag and portland cement (OPC) has been studied. Activators include sodium-hydroxide, sodium sulfate, alum (potassium aluminum sulfate), superplasticizer, and calcium aluminate cement. Heat of hydration, x-ray phase characterization, compressive strength, viscometry, pore size distribution and related characterization studies have been made. Activated BFS-cement mortars having equivalent strengths at 1 .day to OPC have been prepared, which also have 28-and 90-day strengths exceeding those of the OPC. Mechanisms of activation are discussed.

This paper examines the early hydration of alkali-slag cements activated by different sodium compounds, such as NaOH, Na&O,, Na$iO,.SH,O, Na,PO.,, N%HPO, and NaF, at 25 and 50ยฐC. A conduction calorimeter was used to monitor hydration kinetics. It was found that the initial pH of activator solution h
Microwave technique were used to investigate the early hydration of slag cement with different slag percentages, different activators and different amount of activator. It is found that higher slag cement causes a higher dielectric constant E and a shorter induction period. But higher slag cement sa
