Original Abstract

Non-destructive acoustic analysis method Impact-echo method as a traditional for civil engineering was used for experiment. This paper reports the experiment during hardening and drying of specimens of alkali activated slag mortars. 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 properties. The aim of this paper is introduce the effect of method curing of mortars and time curing on the microstructure of alkali activated slag mortars. An understanding of microstructure performance relationships is the key to true understanding of material behaviours.
