- (1)
- The mechanical strengths of alkali-activated compound mineral admixtures are decreased by the addition of FA. Moreover, CO2 curing is effective in improving the mechanical strength. The addition of FA can decrease the flexural and compressive strengths of alkali-activated compound mineral admixtures by 32.6%–47.6% and 35.4%–42.3%, respectively. Meanwhile, CO2 curing can improve the flexural and compressive strengths of alkali-activated compound mineral admixtures by 16.7%–26.5% and 15.4%–23.1%, respectively. When, the BFS content is higher, the improving effect of CO2 curing is higher.
- (2)
- The addition of BFS and CO2 curing demonstrate an increasing effect on the drying shrinkage rate of alkali-activated compound mineral admixtures. Due to the addition of BFS, the drying shrinkage rate is decreased by 23.5%–32.1%, while, with CO2 curing, the drying shrinkage rate is increased by 36.5%–63.1%.
- (3)
- The chloride ion impermeability and resistance of NaCl freeze–thaw cycles of alkali-activated compound mineral admixtures are improved by the increasing dosages of BFS and CO2 curing.
- (4)
- CO2 curing is able to increase the production of CaCO3, while when the dosage of BFS is higher, the CaCO3 product is higher. The addition of BFS can improve the compactness of the hydration products and CO2 curing can increase the amount of rough hydration products.
