TY - CONF A1 - Hünger, Klaus-Jürgen A1 - Brigzinsky, Maria T1 - An alternative alumino-silicate binder based on the "just add water method" T2 - ICCM, 10th ACI/RILEM International Conference on Cementitious Materials and Alternative Binders for Sustainable Concrete, 2017, Montreal, Kanada N2 - Alumino silicate compounds are important for alternative binders for concretes because of the reduction of CO2 and resource conservation. Such multi-phase systems consist of a solid component, such as e.g. slag, ash, calcined clays and others, and a liquid component, in generally highly concentrated alkaline solutions (water glass or NaOH/KOH). Because of safety and other reasons, such systems exclude large-scale practical applications. The newly developed alternative binder consists of a highly soluble silicate waste material, which is not common in geopolymere production, and a powdered Al-provider. It is called alumino silicate network (ASN) binder. Both components can be mixed dry in different ratios. Only after addition of water, a polymerization process is induced and the formation of amorphous phases, and sometimes zeolites can be observed. Mortar bars were produced and tested for different properties. The best results regarding to workability, strength development and sustainability were obtained with a molar Si/Al ratio of 2:1 in combination with fine-grained rock filler components. Investigations on the hardening process showed, that the mechanical properties varied over a wide range. Strength reserves, a ratio between compressive and tensile strength of approx. 3 and so far good resistance against acid solutions allow the use as a binder in high performance mortar and concrete structures.
