Alkali-activated slag and fly ash (AASF) materials are emerging as promising alternatives to conventional Portland cement. Despite the superior mechanical properties of AASF materials, they are known to show large autogenous shrinkage, which hinders the wide application of these eco-friendly materials in infrastructure. To mitigate …
Before we compare slag vs fly ash, let's first understand what they are. Slag is a byproduct that results from the smelting process of various ores, such as iron, copper, and lead. When these ores are heated to extract the desired metal, slag is formed as molten, which is later cooled and solidified. On the other hand, fly as…
Fly ash use in concrete improves the workability of plastic concrete, and the strength and durability of hardened concrete. Fly ash use is also cost effective.

Therefore, the binary alkali-activated fly ash/slag (AAFS) system can overcome the shortcomings of alkali-activated concrete based on a single precursor material and is more suitable for application in aggressive environments. ... Chloride ions in concrete generally exist in two forms: free chloride ions in the pore solution, and bound …
From those results, two main phases (C-AS -H and N-AS -H gels) are detected in slag/fly ash blended systems and with increase in fly ash content, the amount of the C-AS -H gel decreases and the ...
Fly ash can be separated into two main types, known as Class F and Class C. Class F fly ash contains particles covered in a type of melted glass allowing it to reduce the risk of concrete expansion and increase resistance to sulphates and alkali-aggregate reactions. ... In most situations, using fly ash cement instead of Portland cement to ...
You will note that the GGBFS and the two fly ashes have the same kinds of oxides as the cement, which means that when GGBFS or fly ash is added to concrete, materials similar to Portland cement are being introduced into the system. Table 2: Slag Activity Index Requirements of ASTM C989 Chemical Constituents (as Oxides) Type I Cement Type …
This is because slag is easier to be activated compared with fly ash and more hydration products formed at lower value of CCFA/GBFS ratio. In the presence of OH − provided by activator, slag is dissolved, while Fly ash does not dissolve but decompose (Bijen, 1996). The dissolved slag and decomposed fly ash reacts with slaked lime to …
Another difference between slag and fly ash is that while fly ash will rarely surpass 35% of the cement content, slag can substitute 50% of the cement content, or even higher for different applications. This …

Three types of cementitious materials are compared: OPC ( cement), slag-blended OPC (slag/cement mass ratio at 65/35) and alkali-activated slag/fly ash pastes (slag/fly ash mass ratio at 50/50).
Understanding Slag and Fly Ash. Before we compare slag vs fly ash, let's first understand what they are. Slag is a byproduct that results from the smelting process of various ores, such as iron, copper, and lead. When these ores are heated to extract the desired metal, slag is formed as molten, which is later cooled and solidified.
