Compressive Strength Performance of Alkali Activated Concretes under Different Curing Conditions

This study investigated the influence of different curing conditions on compressive strength (CS) alkali activated concrete (AAC) specimens at ages 2, 28, and 90 days for structural utilization standardization process AAC instead OPC concrete. For this aim, 100% slag (S100), 75% 25% fly ash (S75FA25), 50% based (S50FA50) were produced. Based oven-curing (O), water-curing (W), ambient-curing (A) methods, 2O 2 days, 26A2O, 2O26A, 28A, 28W, 26W2O, 2O26W 28 88A2O, 2O88A, 90A, 88W2O, 2O88W, 90W CS examined in details. In addition, delayed development was also investigated. The results indicated that significantly affected condition could provide a better those days. Although, enhanced S100 initial (first applied), (oven-curing applied later) found significant S75FA25 S50FA50 specimens. more when content increased. most with had but age decreased.
