Popis: In order to increase the content of mineral admixtures in cement, this study proposes a method for preparing a high-volume mineral admixture cementitious material (HMAC) using superfine cement as a reverse filling material. Firstly, superfine cement is prepared through mechanical grinding. Then, the activity of mineral admixtures (such as slag and fly ash) is enhanced by mechanical grinding, sulfate activation, and alkali activation methods. Meanwhile, the evolution of HMCM from microstructure to macroscopic mechanical behavior is studied by combining a laser particle size analyzer and a scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, the reverse filling mechanism of superfine cement on mineral admixtures under different activation conditions is proposed. Results show that superfine cement can largely improve the utilization rate of cement clinker and the compressive strength of cementitious materials. In the condition that the compressive strength is not lower than that of the control group (without mineral admixture), the content of mineral admixture can be increased to 50%, 70%, and 90% after mechanical grinding, sulfate activation, and alkali activation, respectively. Analysis indicates that the reverse filling effect of superfine cement is the main reason for improving the density of the HMCM.
