Durability Performance of Hybrid Binder Concretes Containing Non-Ferrous Slag and Recycled Aggregates
SUSTAINABILITY(2023)
Abstract
Novel hybrid binder concrete mixes with alkali-activated non-ferrous slag (NFS), either alone or in combination with blast furnace slag (BFS), as partial replacement of Portland cement, and containing 50% recycled aggregates, were successfully manufactured. The compressive strength, carbonation resistance, chloride resistance, frost scaling, sorptivity coefficient, and water penetration resistance were thoroughly assessed. The presence of recycled aggregates had an adverse effect on early-age strength, but after 91 days there was no difference between concrete with and without recycled aggregates. The chloride-binding capacity was enhanced in the BFS/NFS system with recycled aggregates (reduction in chloride ingress coefficients of similar to 28-35% compared to recycled concrete with NFS only). This is most likely caused by the binding of Cl ions in calcium alumina silicate hydrates (C-A-S-H) and ettringite phases. However, when compared to the system with virgin aggregates, BFS/NFS concrete with recycled aggregates showed increased carbonation rate (+30%) and frost scaling (+15%). Durability properties, such as sorptivity and water penetration resistance, were positively affected by the curing time for the BFS/NFS system (similar to 35-45% further improvement from 28 to 90 days with respect to the NFS system). Specimens that were wet cured for 91 days showed improved results compared to the 28-day cured samples due to the slow pozzolanic reaction of the NFS.
