Improvement of High-Volume Fly Ash Cementitious Material Using Single Alkali Activation

Abstract This research aimed to present the improvement of the cementitious material in high-volume fly ash using only one alkali activator. Fly ash was used as a partial replacement for Portland cement type I, varying from 0 to 60% by weight of the binder. Concentrations of NaOH varying from 0.00 t...
