- granulated blast furnace slag...........79 to 98.5 - compound of an alkali metal.............1 to 12 - additive selected from the group consisting of portland cement clinker, sodium sulphate, potassium sulphate.................................Ø5 to 9 The advantage of the present binder consists in high operation characteristics thereof as compared to those of the prior art binder based on granulated blast furnace slags.

Description

The present invention relates to compositions of binders. Most advantageously the invention can be used for manufacturing concrete and reinforced concrete products.
It is well known that the properties and para-meters of a binder determine the physical and chemical properties of concrete as well as the cost thereof.
Therefore many attempts have been made to improve binder compositions.
Known in the art are binders comprising granulated slag and compounds of alkali metals.
For manufacturing said binders, use is made of granulated blast furnace slags and electrothermophosphoric slags having a specific surface of not more than 300 m2Jkg.
Used as compounds of alkaline metals are carbonates, fluorides, hydroxides and, most widelyj sodium silicates and potassium silicates which are soluble glasses.
Such binders are very active, and concrete stone based thereon possesses high corrosion resistance, cold resistance, water impermeability, heat resistance, air resistance, water resistance, adhesion to fillers, reinforcement, etc. They solidify in the air and in water and possess high hydraulic properties (V.D.
Gluhovsky et al-Shchelochnyie i shelochno-zemelnyie gidravlicheskie viazhushchie i betony, Kiev, Vyshcha shkola Publishers, pp. 103-104).
However, because of considerable variations of chemical, mineralogical and phase composition of slags the prior art binders gain strength slowly.
Therefore said binders are not used as quick-hardening binders.
In addition, cement stone based on such binders in some cases possesses increased shrinking deformation and increased time of damping thereof as compared to portland cement stone.

~ ~ 6~37 There is also kn~wn in the art a binder dis-closed in USSR Inventor s Certificate No. ~08,928 and comprising in % by weight:
- granulated blast furnace slag... 55~5 to 61~0 - soluble glass..... ~..... ~... ~... 29.0 to 33.0 - portland cement... ......... ~... 10.0 to 11.0 To obtain the above binder, the granulated blast furnace slag is preliminarily ground until the s~ecific surface of the slag is 2,800 to 3,000 cm2/g and then mixed with the portland cement. Thereafter the obtained mixture is sealed by an alkali component.
The alkali component is a solution of sodium (or potassium) glass having a modulus of 1.8 to 2.3 and a density of 1.3 to 1.35 g/cm3 in an amount of 40 to 43%
of the weight of dry components.
The tests of the prior art binder have shown that the activity thereof both at early stages of solidification and later is low. In addition, the prior art binder gains strength slowlyO Thus, the compressive strength of the prior art binder in one day is 10.6 MPa, and in 28 days, 32.6 MPa.
This is due to the fact that the binder com-prises portland cement which contains gypsum intensify-ing the solidification process. The gypsum reacts with the alkali component and neutralizes it, which results in the formation of salts. This reduces the content of the alkali component in the binder, which brings about a decrease in the activity and atmospheric durability thereof.
An object of the invention is to provide a binder possessing high operation properties due to an increase in the rate of strengthening and activity thereof.
The object set forth is attained by that there is provided a binder comprising a granulated 1 ~ 65337 blast furnace slag, a compound of an alkali metal and an additive, wherein, according to the invention, the additive is a portland cement clinker, or sodium sulphate, or potassium sulphate, the components being taken in the following ratio~ % by weight:
- granulated blast furnace slag.... 79 to 98.5 - compound of an alkali metal....... 1 to 12 - portland cement clinker, or sodium sulphate, or potassium sulphate as the additive.................. 0.5 to 9 The invention makes it possible to improve the operation properties of the binder due to both an increase in the rate of strengthening and activity thereof.
The above effect is attained due to the optimum ratio between gel and crystals of low-basic compounds in the gel-and-crystalline structure being formed.
It is recommended that the binder comprise granulated blast furnace slag, carbonates or silicates, or hydroxides, or fluorides of sodium or potassium, and a portland cement clinker as an additive in the follow-ing ratio, % by weight:
- granulated blast furnace slag.... 79 to 96 - carbonates or silicates, or hydroxides, or fluorides of sodium or potassium..... ~... O.. ~........... 3 to 12 - portland cement clinker.O....-..-- 1 to 9 This modification of the binder provides for a high and stable strength during the whole period of solidification of the binder, durability and weather-proofness thereof, and in addition allows the utiliza-tion of granulated slags of various basicity for producing a binder possessing said properties.
It is expedient that the binder comprise the ~ i~ 1 65337 granulated blast furnace slag, sodium silicate, and sodium sulphate or potassium sulphate as the additive in the following ratio of the components, % by weight:
- granulated blast furnace slag..... 80 to 98.5 - sodium silicate ................. ~.O 1 to 10 - sodium sulphate or potassium sulphate ~............... ~............ ~. 0.5 to 1.0 Said modification of the binder allows for acceleration of tha hydration process, which provides for a higher strength of the binder at early time of -solidification.
Now the invention will be described by specific Examples thereof.
Example 1 The binder of the present invention comprises, % by weight:

9~/O Na2CO3 and l~/o NaOH were used as the com-pound of an alkali metal, and portland cement clinker as the additiveO
To produce the binder, the granulated blast furnace slag and portland cement clinker were ground in a ball mill till the specific surface thereof was 3,160 cm ~g. Then to the obtained mixture a solution ;~ containing 9~/O Na2CO3 and l~/O NaOH was added.

tion thereof in 28 and 100 da~s.
The testing procedures are given below. Theresults of the tests are given in Table 1. For com-parison purposes the Table represents the results of testing the binder disclosed in USSR Inventor s Certificate ~o. 408,~28.
To determine the consistency of the cement solution (binder solution), sand taken in an amount of 1,500 g and having a size of 0.5 to 0.85 mm and a powder taken in an amount of 500 g and consisting of the granulated slag and the additive are mixed toget-her. The blast furnace granula~ed slag and the additive are preliminarily dried until the residual moisture content thereof is 1% by mass and ground to a specific surface thereof of 3,000 to 3,400 cm2/g.
The mixture is poured into a spherical cup preliminarily wiped with a moist cloth and stirred therein for 1 min.
In the centre of the mixture there is prepared a hollow for a solution of an alkali component to be poured therein at a temperature o~ 20 + 2C and in an amount of 150 g, the ratio between the quantity of the solution of the alkali component and the quantity of the cement (binder) being 0.3. Further hereinbelow this ratio will be represented as S/C=0-3- The obtained sand-and-cement mixture is held for 0.5 min. and stirred ~or 1 min., whereupon it is poured into a cup of a stirrer and stirred therein for 2.5 min.
A conical mould having the dimensions of D = 100 mm, d = 70 mm and h = 60 mm is placed in the centre of a 300 mm in dia. disk of a vibrating platform.
Prior to the testing procedure the inner surface of the cone and the disc of the platform are wiped with a humid cloth.
After the stirring has been finished, the conical mould is filled with the mixture to a half height , ' '' ' .
.

~ ~ ~533~

thereof, wherein the mixture is compacted by driving thereinto a rod of d = 20 mm and 1 = 150 to 180 mm 15 times~ Then the cone is filled to an excess with the mixture which is compacted by driving thereinto a rod 10 times. Following the compaction the excess of the mixture is cut off with a knife level with the edge of the cone, whereupon the mould is taken off in a vertical direction.
The sand-and-cement mixture having a shape of a cone is shaken on the platform 30 times in 30 - s~
whereupon the lowest diameter of the cone is measured in two mutually perpendicular directions so as to determine the average value thereof. With S/C = 0.3 the ,spread of the cone should be within the range of 106 to 115 mm. If the spread of the cone is less than 106 mrn, the amount of the solution of the alkali component is increased to obtain the spread of the cone within the range of 106 to 108 mm. If the spread of the cone is more than 115 mm, the amount of the solution of the alkali component is decreased to obtain the spread of the cone within the range of 113 to 115 mm.
The ratio between the amount of the alkali component and the amount of the cement ~binder), obtained after the cone has spread to 106 to 115 mm, is accepted for further tests.
To determine the strength characteristics of the cements (binder), there are produced specimens having a size of 40x40xlO0 mm and made from the cement solution prepared as described above and having a consistency characterized by the spread of the cone within the range of 106 to 115 ~n~
Prior to making the specimens, the inner surface of the moulds is slightly lubricated with machine oil. At least 3 specimens are made for each test.

~r The moulds for making specimens are rigidly secured onto the vibrating platform. The mould is filled with the solution approximately to 1 cm of its height, whereupon the mould ~ shaken. During the first two minutes the mould is gradually filled with small portions of the solution. After three minutes the shaking is completed. The mould is taken off from the vibrating platform, the excess of the solution is cut off with a knife moistened with water, and the surface is levelled off.
Having thus been made~ the specimens con-tained in the moulds are held in a bath with a seal water for 24 + 2 hours. Thereafter the specimens are carefully removed from the moulds and placed horizontally into baths with water so that they do not contact one another~ The water should cover the specimens by not less than 2 cm. The temperature of the water should be 20 + 2C. Then the specimens are taken out of the water, and not later than in one hour are tested to determine the bending strength and the compressive strength thereof.
The bending strength is determined by applying a bending load until a specimen is broken. The halves of the specimens obtained after bending strength testing are placed between two plates, the area of each plate being 25 cm2, and the compressive strength is determined.
To determine the strength after steaming, there are again made specimens as described above. Then closed m ~ ds containing specimens are placed into a steaming chamber and held therein for 120 + 10 min. at a tempera-ture of 20 + 3C, the heater being disconnected. The steaming process is carried out in accordance with the following conditions: gradual raising of temperature up to 85 + 50C for 180 - 10 min.~ holding the specimens at this temperature for 360 + 10 min., cooling the specimens 1,~

~ 1 ~5337 for 120 + 10 min. with the heater being disconnected.
In 24 + 2 hours from the moment of production the specimens are removed from the mouldsl and the bending strength and the compressive strength thereof are determined.
To determine the shrinkage deformation, again specimens are prepared. In the centre of the butt-end walls of the mould there are made sockets to be filled up with plasticine. 5 to 6 in dia. balls are impressed thereinto. Further on, the production of the specimens proceeds similarly to that described above. In 48 + 2 hours, counting from the moment of production, the specimens are removed from the moulds and immediately immersed into water having a temperature of 20 + 2C
for 5 days. Thereafter the specimens are placed into an exicator containing 200 g of dry K2CO3 and 150 ml of the supersaturated solution thereof. The specimens are held under the solution at the temperature of the air in the room being 20 + 2C. Then the lengths of the specimens are measured by any conventional method to an accurac~ of 0.01 mm and its variation is calculated relative to the length of the specimen of the age of 8 days-Example 2 The binder of the present invention comprises, % by weight:
