Original Abstract

This paper reports the results of measurements during hardening and drying of specimens made of alkali activated slag mortars. The aim of this paper is introduce the effect of curing method and time on the microstructure of alkali activated slag mortars. An understanding of microstructureperformance relationships is the key to true understanding of material behaviour. The results obtained in the laboratory are useful to understand the various stages of micro-cracking activity during the hardening process in quasi-brittle materials such as alkali activated slag mortars and extend them for field applications.
