Drying shrinkage of alkali activated binders cured at room temperature
Abstract
Alkali activated binders tend to exhibit higher drying shrinkage movements when compared with Portland cement. An experimental investigation was undertaken in order to assess the drying shrinkage of a basic alkali activated binder versus Portland cement, and to evaluate the effectiveness of different additives in reducing the drying shrinkage of the alkali activated binder. The results indicated that the drying shrinkage of the basic alkali activated binder was about twice that of Type I Portland cement. Some of the additives used to refine the alkali activated binder formulation were found to lower the drying shrinkage of the alkali activated binder to levels that were comparable with that of Portland cement. Explanations were presented for the mechanisms through which these additives enhance the dimensional stability of the alkali activated binder. SEM, TG/DTG and heat of hydration techniques were used to gain more insight into the mechanisms of action of different additives in alkali activated binders.
