Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Na2O dosage showed an apparent threshold-like effect on AAS-UHPC performance. • The mixture with 9% Na2O exhibited optimal mechanical performance and the most refined pore structure. • Excessive Na2O induced volume instability, cracking, and strength loss. • Drying shrinkage increased monotonically with increasing Na2O dosage. • 8% Na2O offered a sustainability-oriented option with lower alkali demand, carbon impact, and material cost.
