This paper presents an innovative approach towards the development of a green concrete.
The geopolymer is an environmentally friendly construction/repairing material. In addition …

Bauxite residue, also known as red mud, is an abundant by-product produced during the
alumina production process from bauxite ore. As the demand for eco-friendly construction …

Concrete structures fail when external water and aggressive particles penetrate and cause
problems such as acidification and rusting of internal steel structures. Nowadays, surface …

The cement industry is responsible for a considerable part of the emission of gases that
cause the greenhouse effect. In this context, geopolymer materials have been the subject of …

As the main alkali and alkaline-earth oxides in red mud, the effects of Na 2 O and CaO on
the physical properties, crystalline phases and microstructure of red mud based ultra …

By posing the question of what will be the definition of sustainable development in the future,
it can almost be seen that the principle of “no waste” and the production of new materials …

This work studies the feasibility to employ a combination of volcanic ash (natural waste) with
