Özet
Concrete sludge waste (CS), a by-product of concrete production, poses serious environmental challenges due to its disposal. This study aims to evaluate the potential of unground (UCS) and ground (GCS) CS as partial replacements for ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS) in one-part alkali-activated composites (AACs), thereby advancing sustainable binder systems and reducing reliance on virgin raw materials. The experimental program included flowability, compressive and flexural strength, density, porosity, water absorption, sorptivity, and durability assessments under sulfate attack, freeze–thaw cycling, acid exposure, and elevated temperatures. UCS and GCS replaced GBFS at 5–30 % by weight, activated with sodium metasilicate. Microstructural analysis (SEM, XRD) was conducted to link performance outcomes with matrix development and reaction products. The results showed that UCS reduced …
