Overview

Research reveals the effect of sodium silicate and curing methods on the properties of GGBS-based mortar, suggesting optimal conditions for performance.

Key Points

  • Higher compressive strength was achieved with a 12% Na2O concentration, indicating optimal activation conditions.
  • The ambient temperature curing produced superior compressive strength compared to submerged curing methods.
  • Increasing the water-to-binder ratio improved flowability, yet negatively affected compressive strength.
  • The study recommends base sodium silicate for lower heat generation during the solution preparation.
