DESIGNING OF ALKALINE ACTIVATED CEMENTING MATRIX OF ENGINEERED CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITES

The development of high-performance materials, which are characterized by high compressive and flexural strength, durability and performance properties, is an urgent problem of modern construction. Engineered cementitious composites are one such material. Improving of properties of composites is achieved by partial replacement of cement with supplementary cementitious materials. The ratio of binder and filler components and superplasticizer consumption were selected. The optimal ratio of cement:fly ash:sand is 1:1:1 and the dosage of polycarboxylate superplasticizer is 0.75% by weight of the binder. The reduction of the negative impact of the increased amount of fly ash, which is characterized by low reactivity, is provided by the introduction of metakaolin and alkaline hardening activator. Alkaline activated cement system is characterized by increasing of the early strength in 1.5 times comparison with equivalent mixture without alkaline activator. Strength of alkaline activated cementing matrix after 28 days is 66.1 MPa and specific strength Rc2/Rc28 is 0.61.
