Abstract

Natural, artificial, or waste materials can all be complementary materials. The cement industry has long utilized several pozzolanic ingredients that enhance cement characteristics. Concretes made with alkali-activated natural pozzolan (AANP) exhibit moderate to high mechanical strength, a high elasticity modulus, and significantly less shrinkage than concrete made with OPC. Pozzolan replacement percentages of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% are all considered partial. The findings showed that the FA=HL mix (FA=HL 14 90:10 by weight) with a NaOH concentration of 3.5% wt. by dry aggregate mass, a non-OPC binder, offered the most efficient mechanical qualities for a network of gel and needle-sharp cementitious products. The findings show that at 28 days, Non-cem mortar gains a compressive strength of 42.84 MPa (93.36 percent of OPC. Integrating both strength and resistivity results in a reliable and accurate assessment of pozzolanic reactivity. Strength can be increased to improve water transfer qualities. Durability was improved by increased resistance to sulphate and acid assaults as well as decreased chloride ion penetration. As improved sulphate, acid, and chloride ions penetration resistances were demonstrated, durability was also improved. The findings and analyses may be used to guide decision-makers in choosing affordable and environmentally friendly binders for concrete production.
