Effect of Waste Ceramic Powder on the Properties of Alkali–Activated Slag and Fly Ash Pastes Exposed to High Temperature

This paper presents the effects of alkali-activated blast furnace slag and fly ash (AASF) paste added with waste ceramic powder (WCP) on mechanical properties, weight loss, mesoscopic cracks, reaction products, and microstructure when exposed to 300, 600, and 900 °C. Using waste ceramic powder to re...
