Abstract In order to solve the durability problem of alkali-activated materials caused by alkali activator and promote the industrial application with agricultural wastes, rice husk ash (RHA) with different particle sizes was used instead of slag to prepare alkali-activated slag (AAS) mortar. MIP, XRD and SEM were used to analyze the effects of RHA particle size on the fluidity, mechanical properties and inhibition mechanism of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) of AAS. The results show that the compressive strength and fluidity of AAS can be improved by reducing the particle size of RHA particles. Smaller RHA particles significantly inhibit ASR, resulting in less alkali solution erosion due to lower porosity and improved adsorption of alkali metal ions by low calcium-silica ratio gel. On the contrary, larger RHA particles will increase the total porosity and harmful porosity ratio, promote the contact between alkali ions and active aggregate, and lead to higher expansion. Under specific K(Na)/Si ratios and low porosity, ASR product Na-shlykovite crystals can partially transform into K-shlykovite crystals, coexisting to reduce expansion space.
