The alkali-activated mortars using the replacement ratios of 0, 25 and 50% FA by weight of BFS together with the activators are produced in addition to the control mortars produced by only cement. Three different optimum Ms (SiO2/Na2O ratio of activators) values of 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 are determined for the alkali-activated mortars. The FA substitution by BFS increases the high temperature resistance of alkali-activated BFS mortars. © 2019 Elsevier Ltdeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAlkali-activated mortarBlast furnace slagFly ashHigh temperatureMechanical propertiesMicrostructureArticle217506110.1016/j.conbuildmat.2019.05.0552-s2.0-85065484812Q1WOS:000474493200006Q1
