Abstract
Alkali-activated slag cementitious material (AASCM) is a promising innovation in sustainable building materials, characterized by a low carbon footprint and the effective utilization of solid waste resources. Despite its potential, its reinforcement performance at high temperatures is not sufficiently researched. In this study, the axial compression mechanical properties of 135 steel-fiber-reinforced alkali slag columns, strengthened with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) at high temperatures, are experimentally analyzed. The study explores the influence of steel fiber content, CFRP layers, and high-temperature grade on the failure modes, axial compressive strength, peak compressive strain, and axial compressive constitutive behavior of AASCM specimens. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy analysis is employed to examine the microstructural effects on the axial compression mechanical properties of the specimens. A stress–strain model of CFRP-confined AASCM is established after subjecting the specimens to high temperatures considering the significant characteristics of thermal damage in AASCMs. The study findings provide a theoretical basis for the extended application of AASCM in high-temperature environments.
