The paper presents the results of investigation into mass and linear changes of fly ash slag pastes up to 130 days of curing. The pastes were prepared from ground granulated blast furnace slag and fly ash from fluidized combustion of brown coal as an activator of slag’s binding reaction. The pastes were mixed in five proportions of binder components (by mass). The reference specimens were prepared from slag cement, multicomponent cement, Portland fly ash cement.All specimens were prepared with water/binder ratio equal 0,5. Linear changes were investigated in Grauf-Kaufman apparatus. Also the mass changes in time of curing were measured. The mass loss of all the specimens was noted. In the early period of curing fly ash-slag pastes underwent expansion and then shrinkage. The relation between linear changes (expansion and shrinkage) and proportions of fly ash and slag in binder was revealed.
Keywords: fluidized combustion; fly ash-slag binder; shrinkage; expansion.
