Chloride Resistance of Alkali Activated Slag Pastes with Fly Ash Replacement

High energy requirements due to producing of Portland cement leads to a tendency to use secondary raw materials or completely new kind of materials. One of the possibilities is using the materials based on alkali activated slag (AAS). In this paper the influence of partial replacement of ground granulated blast furnace slag by fly ash in AAS pastes on mechanical properties and porosity of was investigated. For practical applications it is also necessary to know their resistance to environment such as salty water. Chloride resistance was investigated by setting the experiment as external chloride attack and measuring the changes of mechanical properties, porosity and composition of the pastes.
