To overcome the problems of long setting time and low early strength caused by adding fly ash into cement, extra alkalis are often used to improve the fly ash reactivity in OPC. Alkali is often supplied as a liquid (strong alkaline solutions) or solid (solid Na/K compounds). This system is also called hybrid alkaline cement (Provis et al., 2015).
