Original Abstract

Alkali activated slag is a material having a great potential to be used in practice. The main drawback of this material is a high level of autogenous and especially drying shrinkage, which causes a deterioration of the mechanical fracture properties. New nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and nanofibres considerably improve performance of current building materials and they can contribute to new application facilities. The aim of this paper is introduce the effect of carbon nanotubes admixture on the microstucture and mechanical performance of alkali activated slag mortars. The three-point bending tests of specimens with central edge notch were performed. Method of acoustic emission was used during this testing.
