Abstract Recent studies on alkali-activated composites have focused on using only supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, and ferronickel slag to achieve both fire resistance and environmental benefits. However, the performance of alkali-activated composites varies depending on the type of alkali activator, and research combining both calcium-based and sodium-based activators remains limited. This study evaluated the mechanical and fire resistance performance of cement composites and alkali-activated composites using both types of activators. Although the alkali-activated composites showed lower compressive strength than the cement composites, their internal temperature was up to 28.1 percent lower depending on heating time. In addition, exposure to high temperatures caused numerous cracks in the cement composites, while the alkali-activated composites maintained greater homogeneity and experienced less surface property change.
