Abstract
The key point of this investigation is to study the effect of demolition and building
wastes on the physico-chemical and mechanical properties of alkali activated slag (AAS). In this
study, ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) was activated by mixture of 3:3 wt.% sodium
hydroxide:liquid sodium silicate (NaOH:Na2SiO3) ratio by weight of GGBFS. AAS was individually
replaced by 10 wt.% ceramic, red clay brick and concrete wastes (CW, RCBW and CoW). The
results showed that, significant shorter setting times were observed when AAS was replaced by CW,
RCBW or CoW. The AAS-CoW showed the shortest setting times compared to other all mixes. The
chemically combined water and pH decreased in the direction of AAS-CoW >AAS >AASRCBW
> AAS-CW. CoW has a positive effect on the compressive strength development at one
day of curing, while, CW and RCBW have a negative effect at the same time (1 day). At later ages
of curing, the AAS-RCBW showed the highest compressive strength values as compared with AASCW,
AAS-CoW and AAS. The crystallinity degree of hydration products enhanced when AAS was
replaced by these wastes. Also, the Fe2O3 present in waste played an important role on the development
of compressive strength. The hydration products were investigated using X-ray diffraction
(XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
and the results were compared with the development in compressive strength.
