The paper uses alkali-activated slag and fly ash as cementitious materials to pour and repair concrete. Their modification on the bonding surface of new and old concrete is studied. The new and old concrete composite specimens were prepared. The split tensile strength test of the new and old concrete specimens along the interface was carried out, and the test results of different alkali-stimulated slag and fly ash concrete as repair materials were compared and analyzed. The influence of activator modulus and other factors on the bond strength of new and old concrete interfaces was studied, and the law of its strength change was explored. The research results show that with the gradual increase in the amount of fly ash minerals, the splitting tensile strength presents a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. When the amount is 50%, the splitting surface partly occurs on the old concrete. It shows that the bonding effect is the best at this content; the alkali excitation modulus gradually increases, and the splitting tensile strength shows a downward trend. When the activator modulus is 1.3, more gelatinous substances can be observed in the section of the specimen. These overlap each other to form a tight material skeleton structure; a comparative analysis of the bonding strength of the new and old concrete interfaces with different interface agents and without interface agents showed that the alkali-activated solid waste cementitious material has the best repair performance and greater bonding strength when the water-to-binder ratio is 0.3.
