Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) refer to a group of alternative materials to ordinary
Portland cement concrete with reduced environmental footprint. Despite several benefits of …

This paper discusses the results of tests conducted to ascertain at high temperatures the
mechanical behavior of cements whose most prominent characteristic is the absence or …

This study was designed to determine the effect of temperature on the mechanical strength
(in both in vivo and post-exposure trials) of two alkaline cements (without OPC):(a) 100% fly …

As a result of tightening of environmental legislation, there is a renewed interest in the
technology of alkali activated concrete also known as geopolymer concrete (GPC). Yet, for …

The stringent conditions are being imposed by the global community to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, will push the search for low carbon footprint alternative binders to ordinary …

This chapter starts with an overview on relevant AACB landmarks and also on AACB
problems. Important bibliographic events as well as recent progress in this field are …

Waste brick powder (WBP) has enough pozzolanic characteristics to be employed as a
supplemental cementing material in Portland cement‐based concrete or as a precursor in …

The usage of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in construction has become a great concern
among researchers due to the carbon dioxide (CO 2) emission during production. As …

This work investigates the degradation mechanisms of clinkerless alkali-activated slag
based ultra-high strength concrete (AAS-UHSC) upon exposure to high temperatures up to …

A growing interest in alternative cements has emerged with the sole purpose of reducing the
environmental footprint associated with cement production. One of the promising …
