Abstract
Optimization of complex shrinkage-reducing additives (further, SRA’s), consisting of ordinary portland cement clinker (further, OPC clinker), salt-electrolyte and surfactants, is provided for prevention of steel reinforcement corrosion due to shrinkage mitigation in alkali-activated slag cement (further, AASC) fine concrete. Modification of AASC by SRA included 0.3 % sodium lignosulphonate, 0.15 % sodium gluconate, 1.4 – 2.0 % NaNO3 and 6.5 - 7.7 % OPC clinker (by mass of granulated blast furnace slag) provides shrinkage reduction from 0.984 up to 0.560 – 0.605 mm/m (t=202 °С, R.H.=65 %). Unlike, SRA presented by the mentioned system with 1.50 - 1.59 % Na2SO4 and 4.0 - 4.65 % OPC clinker causes shrinkage mitigation from down to 0.625 - 0.640 mm/m. In addition, SRA with 1.80 - 2.05 % Na3PO4 and 4.0 - 4.6 % OPC clinker minimizes shrinkage to 0.713 - 0.700 mm/m. Shrinkage mitigation in modified AASC fine concrete is explained by less water, higher crystallinity of hydrated phases as well as by formation of minamiit (Na,Ca0.5)Al3(SO4)2(OH)6, calcium hydronitroaluminate ЗСаО∙А12О3∙Са (NO3)2∙10Н2О and calcium hydroxylapatite Са10(РО4)6(ОН)2 crystals versus salt-electrolyte, i.e. Na2SO4, NaNO3 and Na3PO4 agreeably. The 28 day compressive strength of modified AASC fine concrete is not less than the reference one (48.0 - 56.0 МPа).Keywords
