Abstract
Mixtures of powders of waste glass (WG), limestone (LS), Na2CO3 and CaO were used to formulate novel one-part in situ alkali-activated cement (WG-AAC). The in-situ interaction Na2CO3-CaO-H2O promoted the formation of CaCO3 and NaOH, which promoted the WG and LS dissolution and influenced the micro- and molecular features of the resulting cementitious products. Pastes and mortars developed 1-year strengths of up to 29 MPa and were stable underwater. Characterization by XRD, SEM, EDS, and 29Si-NMR indicated that a Na2CO3:CaO ratio close to 1:1 resulted in polymerized C-S-H, CaCO3, silica gel, and Ca-modified silica gel, which were intimately intermixed and possibly crosslinked through Q3 bonds. Such phases interacted synergistically improving the underwater stability of the WG-AAC, indicating that in-situ caustification is a suitable and practical alkaline activation for SiO2-rich precursors.
期刊介绍:
Cement & concrete composites focuses on advancements in cement-concrete composite technology and the production, use, and performance of cement-based construction materials. It covers a wide range of materials, including fiber-reinforced composites, polymer composites, ferrocement, and those incorporating special aggregates or waste materials. Major themes include microstructure, material properties, testing, durability, mechanics, modeling, design, fabrication, and practical applications. The journal welcomes papers on structural behavior, field studies, repair and maintenance, serviceability, and sustainability. It aims to enhance understanding, provide a platform for unconventional materials, promote low-cost energy-saving materials, and bridge the gap between materials science, engineering, and construction. Special issues on emerging topics are also published to encourage collaboration between materials scientists, engineers, designers, and fabricators.
