Metakaolin and fly ash alkali-activated mortars compared with cementitious mortars at the same strength class
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0891-5649
Abstract Alkali-activated and cementitious mortars belonging to R1≥10MPa, R2≥15MPa and R3≥25MPa strength classes were tested and compared in terms of workability, dynamic modulus of elasticity, porosimetry, and water vapor permeability. Capillary water absorption, drying shrinkage, resistance to sulfate attack, and corrosion behavior of embedded bare and galvanized reinforcements were also investigated. In alkali-activated mortars, drying shrinkage is higher than that of cementitious mortars but restrained shrinkage is lower due to lower modulus of elasticity. Pore dimensions affect water vapor permeability, more pronounced in alkali-activated mortars, and capillary water absorption, much lower in fly ash ones. The high alkalinity of fly ash and metakaolin mortars delayed the achievement of the passive state in particular for the galvanized reinforcements but after 1month of curing they reached the same corrosion rates of those embedded in cementitious mortars.
