Alkali Activated Fly Ash

This book covers relevant synthesizing parameters their interactions and advantages of blending fly ash and blast furnace slag as source material their relationship with mechanical properties and microstructure including guidelines to produce an optimal mix proportion. Further it discusses related durability aspects mechanical properties and reaction products and their inter-relationship. It explains phase characterization with XRD/SEM change in the bond formulations with FTIR FESEM and EDAX analysis. A mix design guideline based on empirical statistical concept has been put forward for professionals to manufacture customized activated fly ash composites in presence of slag.
